 foods your hair will LOVE 

Baking Soda!

Rinse your hair with baking soda once a week to remove build up!

there are probably so many ways you can do this but I will tell you about 

the 3 ways that I know of..

1.  Add 2 Tbsp of baking soda to 3 cups of water. After shampooing, rinse with the baking soda water and then condition as you normally do.

2.  if you have a way to keep your baking soda dry as you shower, put your shampoo in your hand (as usual) and then sprinkle a decent amount of baking soda on top of that. Then just wash your hair.

3. Last but not least, my favourite way.. Simply just bathe in it. Just fill up your bath tub like you usually would then add a cup of baking soda. My advice to you would be to put the baking powder in while the water is running so the baking soda has time to dissolve.

just some little facts, if you have a sunburn bathing in baking soda will help reduce the pain.

Adding baking soda to your bath at any time also helps wash acid wastes out of the body.

Other great things it does for you when you add it in you bath is.. Soothes other skin irritations and alleviate itching from prickly heat, bee stings, insect bites, and other minor skin ailments.

The baking soda will REALLY help clarify your hair and leave it shiny and silky – kinda like it’s brand new.

EGGS!

You know those really intriguing shampoos with the fancy packaging, that supposedly is supposed to have proteins to strengthen your hair? Well eggs are a natural remedy that will not only do wonders for your hair BUT will save you all that money on expensive high end brands that will probably not work as well..

egg yolks are nice and packed with vitamins A, D, and E – all great for shiny, healthy hair. To top it off, the fatty acids in eggs moisturize and condition like nothing else.

Ways to do this:

1.       Much like the baking soda, the quickest & easiest way is to add a beaten egg to your regular shampoo. First just beat.. or whip whatever you shall want to call it, then pour some shampoo in the bowl.. wash your hair as your normally would. Ta Da all done!

2.       Second way is to beat an egg, or 2.. Depending on the thickness of your hair then, rub it into your dry hair. My tip would be to cover your hair with a shower cap or even just a plastic bag whatever you have handy to prevent the egg from making a mess. Leave it on for aprox. 15 minutes before washing it out

CAUTION: Do keep in mind that you are putting EGG in your hair and egg can cook very easily so when you are in the shower keep the heat of the water down a bit.. not cold just warm enough so that you don’t make scrambled eggs in your hair. Just sayinn.



Apple Cider Vinegar

It may smell a little funky at first, but the vinegar scent dissipates as the hair dries, and leaves behind a VERY pH balanced scalp, which equals a really healthy head of hair.

How to Use Apple Cider Vinegar on Your Hair

1. Add 1 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar to 2 cups of water. Shake well.

After using conditioner, just before hopping out of the shower, rinse your hair with the ACV mixture. You can either do one last rinse with water, or leave it in. As I said, the scent will disappear completely as it dries.

2.Take your vinegar rinse up a notch by boiling chamomile (for blonde hair), rosemary (for dark hair) or nettle (any hair color) in the water before adding the apple cider vinegar. (Just be sure to strain the herbs out before adding ACV.)

I suggest doing research on ACV, it does so many wonders! LOVES IT!

Olive Oil!

Ok so im pretty sure you knew this was going to be here. Olive oil is notorious for being great with hair!! It makes your hair softer and beautifully shiny. & Olive oil is obvs good for your body to! gotta love this baby.

How to Use Olive Oil on Your Hair:

1. To moisturize and strengthen:Put 1/2 cup of Olive Oil in the microwave for 15 seconds.. or on the stove but low heat for a couple mins, not till its super hot just warm!! & be VERY carful you can get the worst burns from hot oil! Now that you have your warm oil add it to DAMP hair. Then just like the egg mixture your going to want to protect your hair with a bag or shower cap so you dont make a trail of mess everywhere. Wait for 30-60 mins then shampoo as you usually would.

2. To smooth & shine: You can use this like a silk serum! apply a small amount to your hands and work it into your hair from the ends up.. for those who have more oily hair I dont suggest putting it all the way up to the roots of your hair.

November Favourites

This is what everything comes with when you buy the Naked palette..

I believe it used to come with an eyeliner instead of a brush.

Here is a closer view of the palette..

There are so many reasons why I adore this palette, the

first being the B-E-A youu tee full colors that come in the

palette! Do you guys not agree? There is a reason this palette

is raved about so much, its just amazing! Anyone from beginner

to pro would love this palette! and the eyeshadow itself applies

so nicely to the skin, almost feels like a cream shadow.. like most

of Urban Decay eyeshadows.. and I LOVED that it came with

a primer and a brush to! My favourite color would have to be..

either Naked or Half Baked! Cant wait to try out palette #2!! 

&& here are swatches..

Let me know if you want a longer detailed video on the

naked palette and I can do swatches in the video..

I know there are already so many videos so just lemme kno?

Prime Time Foundation Primer!!

The one I have is obviously the mini sampler version but it has lasted me for

soooo long & this is because you only need the teeniest little bit!! I defiantly need 

to invest in the normal size bottle. This primer is a silicon based primer so for those

of you (like me) prefer a silicon based primer, go check this one out! 

My ABSOLUTE favourite chap stick ever!! This is a must try product.

no matter how dry my lips are, this baby always helps nourish them.

it feels so silky on my lips and its just the best feeling ever! When I have

dry or chapped lips I put this on before bed and its like they renewed my

lips! Ive tried sooooo many different chap sticks but this is by far my

favourite one. And the Awesome thing about this chap stick is that they

have different ones like honey and cherry, and the the colored ones they

have are defiantly build able and you can create a dramatic look with it

but I personally prefer my original one because if I wanted color on my

lips I would just put lipstick on top. =)

Voluminous ORIGINAL is my favourite one out of all the 

mascaras from the "Voluminous" line. Although I do like pretty much

all of them.. I always go back to this one though.. It gives my lashes

GREAT volume and great length.. and ive never met anyone that

didnt LOVE this mascara.. I could go on and rave more about this product 

but it is what it is and.... NUMBER ONE IN MY BOOKS. That is all, kthxbye.

Annabelle Lip Liner in Spice

These lip liners are awesomee!! not much to say about it except it applies

really smooth and is super pigmented.. I have a bunch of different colors

but this one is the one I use the most.. want swatches of more? then Request
