Hair Dressing! DIY Conditioner You Can Eat

Hair Dressing! DIY Conditioner You Can Eat

Kristen Arnett

Swimming pools, sunlight, heat, humidity and air conditioning are a big part of summer for most people. When it comes to your hair, these factors – along with any coloring or heat styling you might be doing – can wreak havoc and cause dryness and damage.

 

Heavy conditioners and serums temporarily tame the problem, but can actually end up weighing strands down, leaving behind a dull layer of film.

To help your hair recover, I’ve developed a “Hair Dressing” recipe great for feeding your tresses and your body with natural ingredients right from the kitchen. This multi-tasking beauty potion works as a topical treatment to detox hair from chlorine, soothe the scalp, strip away product build-up, restore shine and condition... Read More

2013 Weekly Challenge #22: Build a New Healthy Habit

 

Your challenge this week is to create a new healthy habit (or break an old unhealthy one). Here's a great article on the topic:

"Research has proven that it takes 21 days to form a habit. Habits are an essential part of our life, without them we would fail in most things we try to accomplish. They help us to reach specific goals, stay focused along the way and keep on pushing when the going gets touch. At the same time, non-supportive habits can keep us from moving forward or even hurt our well-being. As Dr. Andrew Weil says, anything you do with repetition and emotion will become your reality. If you’re not satisfied with your current experience, examine your habits.

Weekly Challenge 2013 #18:  Close the Kitchen!

Late night snacking can sneak up on you when you don't even see it coming. That last bite of something left on the kitchen counter, a few cookies during the evening news, a cup of hot chocolate... Because you are slowing down for the day, late night calories don't get burned off. Instead, they go to bed with you, stowed away as fat.

To avoid late night munching, try "shutting down your kitchen" right after dinner:
