So YOU want to be a MERMAID. New vlog series by Raina

I've started a new vlog series to answer some of the most popular questions I get about being a pro mermaid. Here's my first one answering questions about how I personally cope with chlorine!

definitely will invest in those nose plugs when my pool opens this summer :dance:

How do you get rid of the chlorine smell that infuses into your skin after swimming?

I shower at the pool before going in it. After I'm done swimming I have another long shower, but scrubbing a lot with soap, there is still a faint smell of chlorine on my skin.

Speaking as a swimmer...... You don't. There this line of soaps and conditioners that I used to use but they didn't get rid of it completely when I was in the pool for hours a day. I forget what it was called, but it smelled like candy and came in clear squeeze tubes in lotion shampoo conditioner and body wash. It's really hard to get the smell out. Even once you're dry, if you wet your skin with fresh water it will smell strongly of chlorine. It's just something you have to deal with if you frequent pools. Oh and antichlorine products are expensive.

wow this is sooooooo helpful thank you sooooo very much for sharing!!!!!

Yea. A$30 for a small 50ml bottle... I was hoping Ms Pro Mermaid had an alternative cheapie that she uses!

Gotta pay for reliable stuff. I keep receipts and claim at tax time

I think here in the US you have to make more than $4,000 dollars a year at something, or it's considered a hobby and it won't be taxed or expenditures refunded. I'm still keeping my recipes just in case though. I need to find out for sure, this is just what I've been told.

Even if you don't pay taxes on it you can claim expenses. In fact I believe in USA you can be in the red for up to 3 years in the start for a new business. Keep receipts for everything.
