Eleven Days In Spain Redefined This FFA Alum’s Career
Tyson Gehrke of Fennimore spent the start of 2026 trading the snowy Midwest for the agricultural landscape of Spain. As part of the National FFA’s International Leadership Seminar, Gehrke joined more than 70 current and former state officers for an 11-day deep dive into global food systems and cultural competency.
For Gehrke, a former Wisconsin State FFA officer and current Iowa State University student, the trip was a lesson in contrast.
“One of the main things that really interested me is being from Southwest Wisconsin, you drive in the countryside, and you’ll see corn and soybeans being grown in the field. While in Spain… you’ll see olive and citrus trees, that’s their corn and soybeans,” he says.
The group also studied the European Union’s rigorous standards on food additives and livestock hormones.
The seminar pushed participants to navigate “growing pains” through daily cultural reflections and language barriers. Gehrke notes that the trip fundamentally shifted his perspective on how to interact with the broader world. He returned with a goal to learn conversational Spanish to better support those who may feel out of place in his own community.
Now double-majoring in agricultural business and international agriculture, Gehrke plans to take his findings back to the private sector. He heads to Australia in March to continue his global studies, with the ultimate goal of returning to Wisconsin to serve local farmers with a strong understanding of international trade and policy.
Medium Textured Hair Haircare Routines: What to Buy, What to Skip, and How to Work With Your Natural Texture
Hey, I am Meg Ann Lee, a hairstylist and makeup artist at Moss hair salon in Eau Claire, WI. I am back this week with the second installment of my 2026 haircare routine series based on your hair texture. I honestly feel like most people, even professional hairstylists, sometimes forget that your hair TEXTURE (fine, medium, or coarse) determines so much in the process of cutting, coloring and product selection.
Medium-texture hair gets talked about as "easy hair". But, that doesn't describe EVERYONE in this category, we are all unique! Most people with this texture always feel like they need to style their hair. This hair category can be confusing and tricky. It can hold a style but still gets dry, frizzy, or has inconsistent waves. This post breaks down two real routines you can use for :
- Medium, mostly straight hair
- Medium combo hair (some straight, some wavy)
Since I asked on Instagram what you wanted this year - haircare recommendations won - I'm including specific products you can shop!
What Medium Textured Hair Really Needs
Medium textured hair usually needs a product routine that focuses on balanced hydration, frizz control without heaviness, heat protection & strength support if you hair coloring it. It can handle more hydrating products like creams and oils than fine textured hair can but it definitely can still get weighed down, so balance is key.
Routine 1: Medium Textured & Mostly Straight Hair
This hair type usually air dries smooth but can feel dry at the ends or frizzy in humidity. The goal is hydration without weight.
Step 1 - Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner
You'll notice a common theme in all of these routines...MOISTURE. Use a Shampoo & Conditioner that adds hydration without heaviness. These products should soften and detangle without flattening. Options:
Step 2 - Leave-In or Lightweight Cream
These help control frizz and give light shine during styling. Options:
Step 3 - Heat Protection
Always protect before styling or you're ASKING for damage. Remember, if your product comes out WET, you have to blow dry it in first before styling with a hot tool. Options:
Routine 2: Medium "Combo" Hair (Straight + Wavy Mix)
This texture is extremely common - straight at the top with a bit of wave lower down. It's all about balance and placement. This is one combo where you just have to be okay with imperfections or do the extra work/styling.
Step 1 - Balanced Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner
Avoid super-rich shampoos that weigh hair down. Go mid-weight. Options:
Step 2 - Wave Support + Lightweight Styling
Because combo hair doesn't want heavy gels or creams, go light and build up product only where needed. Target these products only where your waves are - straighter sections don't need as much styling product. This might mean you will be curling some of your straight pieces once your hair is dry if you're leaning into your curly pieces. Options:
Step 4 - Anti-Breakage &/or Shine
Finish with a tiny mist or drops for shine and slip. Options:
Acceptance & Working With Your Texture
What I tell clients all the time is this: Medium textured hair isn't "bad" because it's not pin-straight or it's not fully wavy everywhere. It just needs a routine that respects its balance - not one that tries to force it into a different category. EMBRACE YOUR TEXTURE.
Loving your texture doesn't mean doing no styling - it means choosing products and routines that enhance what you already have, not fighting it. <3

Fine Textured Hair Haircare Routines: What to Buy, What to Skip, and Why Less Is More
Hey! Welcome to my 2026 Haircare Series! I am Meg Ann Lee, a hairstylist and makeup artist at Moss salon in Eau Claire, WI. This week we are starting with "Fine Textured Hair" haircare routines. Fine hair is one of the most common "complaints" I get from clients. It gets oily faster. It falls flat easier. It tangles more. And, it's extremely easy to overdo it with products. When you have fine hair, more product does not always mean better results. In most cases, it means buildup, heaviness, and that "why does my hair look worse?" feeling by day two. This post is your simple, realistic guide to building a fine hair product routine that actually works - without weighing it down!
What Fine Hair Actually Needs
If you have fine hair, accepting it and working with it not against it is your best bet! Fine hair doesn't need heavy creams, thick oils, or overly rich masks every wash day. Those are usually better suited for coarse or very dense hair types.
Let's break this routine down into two versions - because fine straight hair behaves differently than fine wavy hair.
Routine 1: Fine, Straight Hair with Low Density or is Naturally Flat
Fine straight hair tends to get oily quickly and lose volume fast. The goal here is lift, focus on scalp health, and add lightweight protection.
Step 1: Shampoo & Conditioners with a Focus on Volume + Scalp Balance
Look for lightweight, volumizing formulas. These cleanse without leaving heavy residue behind. Fine straight hair still needs conditioner - just not at the roots! less is more. Options:
Step 2: Leave-In + Heat Protection
Fine hair breaks easily, especially around the hairline. Lightweight protection matters, especially if you're addicted to your hot tool! Keep it minimal. Fine hair responds better to layering lightly than overloading once. Options:
Step 3: Volume Support (Optional)
If you are looking to pump up the volume you need a 1-2 styling products! Options:
Routine 2: Fine, Wavy or Curvy Hair (Not Coarse Curl)
Fine wavy hair needs something different. It still gets weighed down easily - but it also needs definition and more moisture than straight hair to avoid frizz. The goal here is balance: hydration without heaviness.
Step 1: Gentle Moisture Shampoo & Lightweight Conditioner
Avoid ultra-rich curl formulas. They're often too heavy for fine waves. Keep it hydrating but controlled. Again - mid-lengths down not the roots. Options:
Step 2: Lightweight Wave Support
Fine waves collapse when overloaded with creams. Instead, choose lighter stylers. Scrunch lightly and let air dry or diffuse on low heat. Options:
Step 3: Breakage & Repair Support
Fine wavy hair can tangle easily and loses moisture faster than straight hair so you want to protect and repair those waves! Options:
When fine hair clients tell me their hair "just doesn't cooperate," it's almost always a routine issue. Yes, there are more options like hair extensions or different haircut styles BUT I always recommend starting with switching up your product routine. The right lightweight products, used correctly, will make a difference in your every day styling!
Next in this series, we'll break down haircare for thicker textures and color-treated hair types <3

The Escalade Chicken Run: How A Quest For Eggs Built A Farm
Marcus Landry, a former Wisconsin Badgers standout and NBA forward, retired from professional basketball at age 35 to farm the Wisconsin countryside.
Landry has transformed a 13-acre suburban plot in Milwaukee into the thriving Beulah Family Homestead near East Troy, a sanctuary aimed at teaching the next generation.
The transition began unexpectedly during the COVID-19 pandemic after Landry suffered an injury. What started as a simple trip to get eggs for his wife turned into a full-scale agricultural operation. Today, the farm manages roughly 20 acres and a diverse roster of livestock, including Clydesdale horses, Highland cattle, and turkeys.
For Landry, the pivot was about more than just a change of scenery; it was a call to action.
“I was actually preparing to go back and play basketball at the time,” he says. “But I knew I would be home for a while, and I just didn’t know what the world was coming to at that moment. So it was like, do what I know to do.”
Beyond producing food, the Beulah Family Homestead serves as a classroom. Through partnerships with 4-H and local youth programs, Landry brings students from the inner city out to the farm to raise animals and launch their own small businesses. He sees the farm as a tool for “holistic” healing, combining his free city basketball camps with hands-on agricultural training to help youth find a new path.
“You can come into our program, and you can leave after a year or two with your own business, and we just help you to flourish in that area,” he says. “We had kids that were just doing some very dangerous stuff… and through the basketball program and the farming, they changed their lives around.”
As Landry looks toward the future, he plans to expand further, with sights set on an additional 51 acres and new initiatives like “Shopping in the Garden,” which will allow families to harvest their own groceries directly from the land.
How to Build a Haircare Routine in 2026 That’s Worth Your Money
If you've ever stood in the haircare aisle at Target or scrolled Amazon wondering which product is actually is going to make you love styling your hair- you're not alone. I am Meg Ann Lee and I have this conversation with my clients all the time because we build haircare routines together!
I recently put up a poll on my Instagram asking what you want more of this year: makeup content, salon BTS or haircare product recommendations. Haircare won by a landslide. So consider this post the official start of that conversation!
As a hairstylist at Moss Salon here in Eau Claire, I want to be really clear about something upfront: you don't need the most expensive products, the trendiest brand, or a shelf full of bottles to have great hair. What you do need is the right routine for your hair type and your specific lifestyle. That's exactly what this haircare series is going to break down.
Why Haircare Matters More Than Most People Think
A great haircut or color is important - but what happens after your appointment is what determines how your hair looks weeks later.
Your haircare affects how long your color lasts, how your hair feels between appointments, how much breakage or dryness you see over time and how often you feel like you "need" a hair appointment. When hair isn't supported at home, even the best salon work won't wear the way you want it to. That's why I'm such a big believer in realistic, manageable routines instead of trend-based recommendations. If you're not going to do the routine at home why are you buying a 6 product regimen?? A waste of money IMO.
Not All Haircare Is Created Equal
I'll never shame someone for choosing drugstore products but there is a reason some products are $5 and some are $40. It's great to get recommendations from friends but ONLY if they have the same hair texture and hair history as you. What worked for a friend with totally different hair might not work for you.
Fine hair, thick hair, color-treated hair, extensions, dry hair - they all need different things. A product that's amazing for one person can be completely wrong for someone else.
That's why "one-size-fits-all" routines usually lead to frustration, wasted money, and hair that still doesn't feel right. Over the next few weeks, I'm breaking this down into haircare routines by hair type, using products you can buy and realistically use.
Every routine will be simple, intentional, and focused on products that do the job, not just look good on a shelf. I'll also be linking products I genuinely recommend and would suggest to my own clients.
The Basics That Matter Most
The best place to start are your basics! No matter your hair type, everyone benefits from:
- A shampoo and conditioner made for your hair needs
- A leave-in product for moisture and protection
- Heat protection if you style with hot tools
You don't need ten steps. You need the right few steps, used consistently. If you've ever felt like your hair looks good for a week and then slowly falls apart, this series is for you.
Next week, we'll start with the first hair type breakdown - and I'll show you how to build a routine that actually works for your real life <3

The Real Cost of Budget DIY Hair Services: Damage, Redos, and Regret
If you've ever tried to save money on your hair and ended up spending more later, you're not alone. I am Meg Ann Lee, a stylist at Moss Salon in Eau Claire . I see this cycle all the time because where do you go when you need to fix a DIY hair problem? The salon!! I secretly love a challenging color correction. Most of these clients aren't making bad decisions - they're just trying to be practical. The problem is that hair doesn't work well on shortcuts. Hair color is a chemical reaction. When you take shortcuts, sometimes you lose control of the outcome.
Lower-priced hair services often come with hidden costs. A quick trip to the drugstore to buy a $10 Box dye, rushed appointments, choosing incorrect hair levels, or overly aggressive lightening can cause damage that doesn't show up right away. At first, the hair might look fine but then it fades unevenly, turns very brassy, breaks, or refuses to hold color. That's usually when clients book a corrective appointment - and that's where the real expense begins.
DIY Haircolor
One of the biggest issues I see is at home color. Now, I will say I SUPPORT DIY color because.. how fun, right!? I was a DIY hair girlie for years before going and getting my license. My DIY hair was uneven and breaking.. lucky for me, emo razor cut shags were in and my broken yellow, blonde hair under my horizontal headband was "indie cool". Usually, the lack of product knowledge and technique leave people dissatisfied with their at home color. It feels predictable and affordable, but it removes control from the process. Most box color lifts and deposits at the same time, it's also formulated to work on almost anyone who buys it, aka, it is strong! It often can deposit on hair too dark or lift too warm when applied to the incorrect hair level. When clients come in wanting to go lighter or more dimensional afterward, it usually takes multiple sessions, treatments, and trims just to undo what happened. What started as a money-saving choice can easily turn into months of correction.
Budget Salon Hopping
Another common pattern is salon hopping based on price and not hearing what you want from the hairstylist. Every stylist has a different approach, formulation style, and vision. When hair doesn't have consistency, it struggles. Switching stylists for every hair appointment makes it harder to achieve a specific look - especially color correcting in sessions, blonding, or extensions - because no one is guiding the long-term plan. Choosing a stylist based on skill and alignment with your goals matters more than choosing based on the lowest number on a service menu. Especially because choosing a stylist who is $50-$100 more probably will get you to your long-term goal more efficiently.
Are You Choosing Damage for Color?
I'm always honest in consultations. Could I push hair further in one appointment? Sometimes, yes. But hair health determines longevity. Damaged hair fades faster, breaks easier, and rarely looks good for long. Most clients don't want to hear that...they want us to say "Yes we can 100% make your dark hair white blonde in one session!" and that's NOT everyone's hair story. Honestly, some clients don't GAF and WANT me to push it to the brink of existence. They are choosing a color despite the damage it will cause. Often when I say I won't do that, they just go to another stylist who will, that's the reality. When clients invest in the right color level, realistic timing, and proper maintenance, they usually spend less over time - not more.
The goal isn't to spend the most money. It's to spend it wisely. Choosing a stylist who can actually achieve your desired look, explain the process, and plan ahead saves you from redo appointments, emotional frustration, and unexpected costs later. It's about strategy, patience, and working with someone who's honest about what your hair can handle - not just what looks good the day you leave the salon.

Why Your Hair Looks Different After 6 Weeks And How It’s Totally Normal
If you've ever left the salon loving your hair, only to look in the mirror six weeks later and think "Why does this feel… different?" - you're not imagining it.
I'm Meg Ann Lee, a hairstylist at Moss Salon in Eau Claire, and this is one of the most common conversations I have with clients. Hair doesn't suddenly "go bad" after a few weeks - it's responding to growth, tonality shift, lifestyle, and everyday wear.
Let's break down what's actually happening.
Your Hair Is Growing, Even If It Doesn't Feel Like It
On average, hair grows about ½ inch per month. That means by the six-week mark, your root is already noticeable. This doesn't mean your color was done wrong. It means your natural hair is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. GROW. This is also why I talk so much about lived-in color. When your root matches or sits within 1-2 shades of your natural color, grow-out looks intentional instead of harsh. That choice alone can dramatically change how your hair looks at week six versus week two. Don't even get me started on a base break. IYKYK.
Toner Fading Is Normal, Not a Color Failure
Color changes over time - especially blondes and brunettes with warmth underneath. I always stress this point during consultations with clients who want cool tones or vivid colors. All artificial color pigment fades and will need maintenance. Shampooing, heat styling, hard water, sun exposure, and even how often you work out all affect tone. Blonde clients may notice warmth creeping in looking yellow or brassy. Brunettes might feel dull or flat as their color fades. That doesn't mean you need a full transformation color appointment - often, a gloss or toner refresh brings everything back to life.
This is why I often recommend maintenance services between big appointments. Small adjustments can keep your hair looking fresh without starting over. Unless you WANT a high maintenance color. We do those too and I need to see you about every 5-7 weeks.
Hair Health Affects How Color Wears
Healthy hair holds color better. Damaged hair fades faster and changes tone more unpredictably.
This is something I'm very upfront about during consultations at Moss. If hair is over-processed, even the best color formula won't last the way you want it to. Sometimes the smartest move is focusing on treatments, trims, or adjusting expectations before pushing lighter or brighter.
Long-term hair goals always win over quick fixes!!
Lifestyle & At Home Hair Care
Your daily habits play a bigger role than most people realize. Two clients can get the same color on the same day and have totally different results six weeks later - based on their hair health and at home haircare routine.
My goal as a stylist is always to explain how your color will grow out, when it may shift and what maintenance actually looks like. Not just how it looks on day one when we take the after photo.
Hair is a process, not a one-time event.
If your hair looks different after six weeks, that doesn't mean something went wrong - it means your hair is alive, growing, and responding to real life. Understanding growth, tone shift, and hair health helps you make better decisions, plan smarter appointments, and feel more confident between visits <3

Small Salon Budget Wins: How to Get Great Hair Without Overspending in 2026
If you're heading into a new year trying to be more intentional with your spending, you're not alone. I'm Meg Ann Lee, a hairstylist at Moss Salon here in Eau Claire, and clients constantly tell me the same thing: they want great hair, but they also want their money to make sense.
The good news? You don't have to overspend to love your hair. You just need to be strategic.
This post is all about small salon budget wins - the little choices that make a big difference for both your hair and your wallet.
Start With the Right Service (Not Just the Trendiest One)
One of the biggest budget mistakes I see is booking a service based on a trend instead of real life. Not every client needs a full bleach and tone, a major color shift, or the highest-maintenance option available.
Now, if you want high-maintenance hair - white blonde, bold contrast, frequent appointments - that's totally fine. We do that too. But for many clients, a partial foil, gloss, root refresh, or blended color gives them about 80% of the look they want at a fraction of the cost.
A good stylist should help you choose a service that fits your lifestyle, maintenance schedule, and budget - not just what's popular or most expensive.
Maintenance Appointments vs. Big Transformations
From a budget standpoint, consistent maintenance almost always costs less than waiting too long and needing a "color corrections". Glosses, toners, trims, and treatments help extend the life of your color and prevent damage that leads to expensive corrections later.
This is especially true for extension clients. Staying on a regular maintenance schedule protects both your natural hair and your investment. I talk more about this in my hair extension series if you're considering extensions or already wearing them.

Invest in the Right Home Care
You don't need a shelf full of 50 products to have good hair. Most clients do best with:
-
One quality shampoo and conditioner for their hair type
-
A leave-in with heat protection
-
One targeted weekly treatment (moisture or repair)
Buying the right products once is almost always cheaper than cycling through random ones every few weeks. This is one of those small wins that really pays off long-term.
Choose a Stylist You Can Grow With
Switching stylists or salons frequently can get expensive - and honestly, it can do more harm than good. When you work with someone who understands your hair, your budget, and your long-term goals, everything becomes more consistent. Consistency saves money.
I really like to focus on long-term hair planning, not just one-off appointments. I recently had a consultation with a client who wanted high-contrast white blonde hair, dark lowlights, and long extensions. Her hair was already compromised from previous blonding elsewhere, and while I could technically give her that color, it wouldn't last - and it would almost certainly cause damage.
That kind of transformation plus extensions would have cost around $1,500. Would I get paid? Yes. But within a few months, the color would fade unevenly, the extensions wouldn't match the fade, and her natural hair would start breaking. That's not a win for anyone.
Instead, I recommended time, trims, and a slightly darker, more blended color that would grow out beautifully and still look good 8-10 weeks later - not just the day I take the Instagram photo. Did she want to hear that? NO. Some clients do want high-maintenance hair, and that's okay. My job is to lay out all the options so they understand the cost, upkeep, and long-term reality before deciding.
Budget-Friendly Doesn't Mean Low Quality
There's a big difference between being budget-conscious and cutting corners. Choosing fewer services done well, spacing out major appointments, and maintaining your hair properly all count as smart spending - not settling.
Great hair doesn't require constant appointments or maxed-out budgets. Sometimes it just means asking yourself: Do I really need highlights every six weeks? (Short answer: probably not.) Learning to love blended roots and lived-in color can save you time, money, and stress.
If 2026 is the year you want to feel better about your beauty spending, start small. Ask questions. Plan ahead. Work with a stylist who's honest about maintenance and cost. Those small salon budget wins add up fast <3

Booking a New Hairstylist? Here’s What Your Salon Consultation Should Cover
If you've ever left a hair appointment feeling unsure about what you agreed to-or surprised by the price later-you're not alone. I am Meg Ann Lee and I hear stories like this all the time from people!
As a hairstylist and co-owner of Moss, I believe the consultation is the most important part of any salon experience. A good consultation sets expectations, builds trust, and helps you decide if a stylist is truly the right fit before you commit.
A Consultation Is a Conversation, Not a Sales Pitch
A consultation should never feel vague or pushy. You shouldn't feel pressured to book on the spot or agree to services you don't fully understand. At Moss, consultations are about listening first-your hair history, your goals, your lifestyle, and how much maintenance you actually want. In my experience, when consultations are unclear or get off topic (aka the client going on rants about previous stylists or previous hair mistakes) that's when misunderstandings happen later.
What You Should Know Before Booking
You don't need an exact final total, but you should walk away from a consultation with clarity around the investment, timing, and long-term commitment-especially for color corrections or hair extensions. This is something I've talked about in detail in my Hair Extension Service Expectations series, where I break down why pricing and maintenance can vary so much.
If a stylist can't explain their recommendations in a way that makes sense to you, it's okay to pause and ask more questions-or consult elsewhere.
Questions to Ask During a Hair Consultation
Going into a consultation with a few prepared questions can make a huge difference! Also have ONE or TWO picture references. Please don't come in with a blonde picture, a brunette picture and a rainbow picture. It's a waste of everyone's time until you pick a direction. Clear answers upfront help prevent frustration later. Here are some I always recommend clients ask:
It's Okay to Consult More Than One Salon
Consulting with more than one stylist doesn't mean you're being difficult-it means you're being informed. Different salons approach services, pricing, and maintenance differently. Comparing consultations can help you find the best fit for your expectations and budget.
This ties directly into what I shared in last week's post about how to find a new hairstylist, where your research and communication are just as important as the final hair result.
A salon consultation should leave you feeling confident, informed, and comfortable-not confused. Whether you end up booking at Moss or another salon in Eau Claire, you deserve transparency before committing to a service. When clients understand the plan, the price, and the maintenance, the entire salon experience is better-for everyone involved <3
