Hair Accessories

It is possible to hide dirty hair under a bandana or a scarf. Any hair accessory (hairpin, ribbon, or hair band) will add charm and style to your image and nobody will notice that you have dirty hair.

Put Your Hair up

This advise is for those of you with long hair. Simply make a braid or a pony-tail and your hairdo will never show that your hair has not been washed for a while.

Dry Washing

The best option is dry shampoo. However, if you don’t have it handy, you can use, for example, corn starch. Simply apply some to your hair, the starch will absorb oil and dirt, and thoroughly comb your hair afterwards. Now, you are ready to go for any important meeting. One point to note though- you can safely use baby talcum powder or baking flour as dry shampoo if you have fair or blond hair. However, you cannot use those products if you are an owner of dark hair, since the remains of those products will be visible; brunettes can only use high quality dry shampoo.

When using 100% natural essential oils, the soothing combination of beautiful aromas, massage, aromatic baths and other treatments all work to regulate, balance, heal and maintain your well being by working with nature.   Here are some ways to use aromatherapy and essential oils for natural health and beauty.

Health

* To enjoy a scented candle, place 1-2 drops of your favorite scented oil onto the hot melted wax as the candle burns.

* For tired aching muscles or arthritis aches, mix 1 part Cajeput, Sage, and Basil oil to 4 parts Jojoba or other vegetable oil and use as a massage oil.

* Ease headache pain by rubbing a drop of Rosemary/Lavender oil onto the back of your neck.

* To make your own massage oil, add 3-5 drops of your favorite essential oil to 1 oz. Jojoba or other skin-nourishing vegetable oil.

* For cuts, scraps and scratches, apply true Lavender oil and Tea tree oil directly on cuts, scrapes, or scratches. 1 or 2 drops will promote healing.

* For burns or scalds, drop Tea Tree or Lavender oil directly onto the affected area.

* For upset stomach, place 1 drop of Peppermint oil in 1/2 glass of water, sip slowly to aid digestion and relieve upset stomach.

* To relieve headaches, add 1 drop Peppermint oil diluted in 1 teaspoon vegetable oil rubbed on the back of the neck.

Beauty

* Create your own personal perfume by using 25 drops to 1 oz of perfume alcohol. Let age two weeks before using.

* For shiny, silky hair, apply 3-4 drops of argan oil.

Coconut Oil has been used for centuries as a vital source of food for health and general well being in traditional communities of tropical regions. Recent research verifies traditional beliefs that the coconut palm is “The Tree of Life” and that, just like any other pure, whole food, coconuts and virgin coconut oil have a significant role to play in a well balanced, nutritious diet.  It’s very versatile and one of the healthiest oils in the world and can be used in cooking and topically for your face, body and hair.  These benefits of coconut oil can be attributed to the presence of lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid, and its properties which are antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, and soothing.

Hair and Scalp
Coconut oil is amazing for both your hair and scalp. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair.  It is therefore used as hair care oil and used in manufacturing various conditioners, and dandruff relief creams. All you need is to add one teaspon of Organic Virgin Coconut Oil in your hair to improve elastisity and condition while adding gloss and shine.  You can also add more and leave in for an hour or overnight as a leave in treatment and shampoo out and rinse as usual.

Facial and Body Moisturizer
Coconut Oil is one of the best natural substances you can apply to your face and body. It also delays wrinkles, and sagging of skin which normally become prominent with age. Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections.  Just apply as you would a body lotion until absorbed.

Weightloss
Coconut Oil is very effective in reducing and maintaining weight.  It contains short and medium-chain fatty acids that help in taking off excessive weight. It is also easy to digest and it helps in healthy functioning of the thyroid and enzymes systems.  It increases the body metabolism by removing stress on pancreases, thus burning out more energy and helping overweight people reduce their weight.  This is why people living in tropical coastal areas who eat coconut oil daily as thier primary cooking oil, are so slim and healthy.

Make sure your buying Organic Virigin Coconut Oil, otherwise you loose all the important beneifcial nutrients.  You want to also ensure it is USDA organiclly certified because that means it has the highest quality organic certification seal so you can rest assured it’s 100% organic.

Each Complete Kit lasts between four and six months and the company offers 100% money back guarantee if your satisfied with their products.  My preteen daughter tried out the skincare products for the review and this was her experience.  We received the Good For Your Girls Blemish Kit which contains the Blemish Wash, Purifying Toner and Oil-Free Moisturizer.  Each product is 4 fl. oz.

The Blemish Cleanser is for blemished and oily skin.  It effectively washed away her skin’s impurities with a soothing lather that didn’t irritate her skin and reduced redness and poor size.  The benficial botanical ingredients are: (Willow Herb, Papaya, Meadowsweet, Aloe, Calendula, Chamomile and Vitamin E).

The Refreshing Toner is for all skin types.  It cleaned her pores while organic botanicals balanced her skin’s pH balance and left her skin feeling completely refreshed and clean.  The beneficial botanical ingredients are: (Witch Hazel, Aloe, Meadowsweet, Lavendar, Chamomile, Vitamin C, White, Green and Black Tea).

The Oil-Free Moisturizer is for all skin types.  It protected her skin from losing moisture while replenishingvital nutrients without clogging her pores and prevented her skin from shine throughout the day.  The beneifcial botanical ingredients are: (Chamomile, Aloe, Calendula, Borage, Flax and Rose Hip Oil, Vitamin B6, White, Green and Black Tea).

Overall she is very happy with the products and would recommend them to a friend.  I would definitely buy Good For You Girls Skincare for my daugther again and I love that she is finally using a natural, safe organic skincare line I can feel good about!

Good For You Girls  does not contain any synthetics, parabens, petrochemicals, dyes or irritants.  So why not try it?  With a money back guarantee, there is nothing to loose and only good skin to gain.   Please visit their website at: www.goodforyougirls.com.

Eye-catching, glamour and Swarovski crystals studded evening bags were followed by austere shapes and art deco geometry.

Fall evening accessories line by Judith Leiber was inspired by past designing ideas. The president of Judith Leiber, Mary Gleason, who is responsible for a new direction of the brand’s collection, says that new line blends the elements of vintage style, modern materials and superior quality that Judith Leiber has always provided.

Although Judith Leiber retired from designing back in 1998, her recognizable style continues to inspire the brand’s designer teams.

By the artist’s intention the LV logo symbolizes “the search for ephemeral happiness” that characterizes the modern world too much focused on appearances.

I was pretty broke for all of my first few terms but now that summer is here I have been working back home almost full time, and I have got so much money I almost don’t know what to do with it! I say almost because last night I spoke to one of my new friends from College, and she told me that if I had plenty of money then I should be online looking at what Very could be offering me! I decided that the next day on my day off would be a day for buying clothes!

As soon as I got online I saw that the site offered lots and lots of clothes that would help me to fit in in my new environment. I found a great page with lots of lovely Miss Sixty clothes which were really well priced! I never knew that being cooled and gaining acceptance could come so cheap!

Naturally I bought a few items and as soon as they arrived I knew I would feel better about arriving back at College next term. I felt great and I looked great!

Here are a few easy skin care tips that can help you make sure that you look beautiful at any time of the day.

Water therapy

You just can’t underestimate the importance of a soothing bath. You can use all the skin care creams that you want, but they cannot beat the therapeutic effects of water. A bath in warm water will not only help you cleanse your skin, but also help your body relax and reinvigorate itself. The effect of this therapeutic exercise can be seen on your skin. It’s a great stress buster and at the same time helps soften your skin.

Cleansing and moisturizing

If you think beauty products are an expensive option or you are looking for a wholly natural option, you can look for products closer to home. A mixture of rose water, lemon juice, and glycerin is a great moisturizer and it’s inexpensive to boot. Also the fact that it’s natural means that you are not going to experience any adverse side effects of this mixture.

Eating healthy

Beauty products are all very well and there are quite a few good ones, but they won’t work if you have an unhealthy lifestyle. An unhealthy diet is one of the primary components of an unhealthy lifestyle. To help keep your skin glowing, a healthy diet is a prerequisite. You can’t get around it.

The beauty tips are all about doing the simple things right. Don’t complicate matters, and just be regular in whatever skin care routine you adopt.
