Eggciting!

I found this wonderful thing on pintrest as well: Egg yolks, olive oil and water!

It's a wonderful little mixture that you massage into your scalp and your hair that helps stimulate hair growth, helps with shine, and helps make hair healthier.

You will need: 
   ~ 2 egg yolks
   ~ 1 cup of water
   ~ 1 tbspoon olive oil

Mix it all together and slather it in your hair and leave it in for 15-20 minutes. I left it in for 20 minutes since this is my first time using the mixture. After the 20 minutes was up I rinsed my hair life I normally would but, instead of using my shampoo alone I decided to do a scalp therapy to wash out my hair with. (Another recipe I found on pintrest.com)

You will need:
   ~ baking soda (amount about the size of a quarter)
   ~ your favorite shampoo 

I took the normal amount of shampoo that I would use for my hair and mixed in the baking soda. Massaged it in, and then rinsed like normal. I conditioned and dried and styled as normal, and to be honest... I really like how much smoother my hair feels.

I plan on doing the egg yolks once a week and the scalp therapy every other day.

Good luck everyone!

P.S: I will be trying the teeth whitening method next, just have to run to the store to pick up some things ^_^

Sugar Lip Scrub

Today I was looking around on pintrest and found a few things that I wanted to try. Some of these things I was able to try tonight and some I have to wait until I can get to the store and pick up some of the supplies.

So I decided to try, the Sugar Lip Scrub.

You will need: 
    ~ 1/2 a teaspoon of white or brown sugar ((I used white sugar))
    ~ 1/2 a teaspoon of honey
    ~ 1/2 a teaspoon of olive oil
    ~ a pinch of powdered cinnamon ((I used powdered cinnamon sugar instead, did the same trick))

You need to mix these together either in a small bowl ((it literally will turn out about the size of a quarter, maybe a little bigger once mixed)) or in your own hand. 

Rubbed the mixture in a circular motion on your lips for about 2-3 minutes ((I did it for 4-5 minutes)), then rinse off with a warm washcloth. Apply chapstick or a lip balm to lock in the moisture. 

Remember: Only do this once or twice a week. Over exfoliating can cause damage to sensitive skin cells. 

I have embedded the link to all this information for easy access.

New Years Resolution

So for this year, I have made a few decisions and resolutions that I am going to keep and need to keep.

•  I am going organic and making quite a few items that I use daily. Plus, trying new things like beauty treatments, and hair treatments.
• I am cutting out chocolate and other unnecessary sweets that I tend to over indulge in. (I will only be eating them in small moderation on special occasions)
• I will work out at least 3 times a week.
• I will put more fruits and veggies into my daily meals and cut back on red meat.

• I am going to try some new foods and things that I would never normally do or eat.
• I will be doing a lot of DIY stuff this year. From home decor to beauty products.

This year will be a whole new "me". And most of these I can do since I have a lot of items available to me. You might actually even be seeing me posting more than once a day.

So there will be a huge increase in my posts over this year. And I did start a lot of this stuff today.

Well, I hope everyone had a great and Happy New Years! And keep an eye out for a few posts from me later on about how two new things turn out once I'm done. ^_^
