When I was a hairdresser, I had the opportunity to use many excellent hair care product lines. There was always some some rep coming in, talking up some fabulous new whatever, and we’d all line up to try it out on our clients. Having that kind of full access spoiled me and to this day, I’m fairly picky about what I will use on my hair.
I’ve been using Eufora products for about 2 weeks now and I think that is enough time to have developed a very strong opinion of them. One of the things that sets Eufora hair products …read more

One of the easiest and most natural ways to look good on the outside is to fill the body with key foods and beverages on the inside. Many women forget that their daily diet can play just as large a role in contributing to smooth, youthful-looking skin as expensive beauty treatments or products.
Infusing grapefruit into your diet, along with following a balanced lifestyle can keep you looking lovely:
· Watch your waistline.
If you’re trying to maintain a healthy weight, consume fruits and vegetables with high water content, like grapefruit to feel satisfied. One-half …read more

 
I am a huge fan of weekly deep conditioning treatments for your hair. I’ve used masks and oils and I find that the oils are especially good for when it’s cold outside and dry and warm inside. This month’s Lucky magazine has a little blurb about Wen’s Cucumber Aloe Hair and Body oil. I actually tried his hair and body oil out last year (the Sweet Almond Mint) and I absolutely loved it. It’s basically just jojoba oil and essential oils which you could obviously do yourself and stick it in a pretty glass bottle. You can get those bottles …read more

I only recently discovered the sheer awesomness of the full service hair salon. I resisted for a long time because I couldn’t justify the cost and I figured I could do a better job myself at home. I loved it and it was indeed better than I could do at home but meh, still not worth $120.00. What I am missing is this wonderful deep conditioning treatment they offer. It makes my hair so shiny and soft I just can’t stop touching it. It borders on the obscene.
I’ve been trying to replicate it and I think I have come pretty close …read more

Etsy is quite the place to go these days for homemade soaps and yummy beauty treats. I came across a whole cornucopia of shampoo bars there today. Shampoo bars are great because they last for so long and a little goes pretty far. Plus they usually come in very little to no packaging so it saves a lot on waste. Seller Red Leaf has some great options that come in a little tin so they are great to travel with or throw in your bag for the gym. Although ewwww, showers at the gym give me a whole high school flashback …read more

So I finally got to the end of my humungo size of conditioner and I am finally going to try out Anita Grant’s line. What do I find however…they’re on vacay. What the crap? I went to her site specifically to try the Rhassoul Deep Conditioner. Now what shall I do? I guess I can’t be upset that she’s not there to whip up some fresh, natural goodies now can I. Has anyone actually tried this conditioner? Please tell me about your experience. If I can’t get it now at least I can dream.

I’m sure you’ve all been watching the Olympics, I’m sure of it. Have you noticed the little bottles of honey at the women’s gymnastics events? It’s for coating their hands for the uneven bars. Honey can bring the world together, no? Okay no but you can do a lot with it. The best hair treatment I have found in a long time is to use about a half cup of honey mixed with a few tablespoons of olive oil. Adjust the amounts until it’s easy to work with and then coat your hair with it. Comb it through with a …read more

Even though their channel seems to be…wanting…Planet Green’s website seems to actually have some cool stuff.
For instance, their Top Five DIY Eco Hair Conditioners.
Some of these ideas have graced the digital pages of this very blog before, such as using olive oil, henna or tea. But there’s also a couple brandy-new ones, like cider vinegar or rosemary oil.
Enjoy! You can thank me later.

Planet Green has a couple of recipes for homemade shampoo and conditioner today. Have you ever made your own shampoo? I’ve made lots of hair masks, treatments, rinses etc., but never proper shampoo. Why? Well I’m always afraid it’s going to strip my hair of it’s moisture. I can’t use just anything and have it work for me. For anyone who has, has it added moisture and all the good stuff or is it strictly utilitarian? Like hey, I’m in the woods and I’m dirty. My hair stinks but oh look I have some soap flakes and essential oil.” I found …read more

 
I love all things coconut. It comes in second only to my love of vanilla. It’s actually a family thing. My husband ended up in the emergency room with a handful of stitches one night all because he just had to have a fresh coconut. The real thing has been banned since. I did get to rip out carefully remove the stitches myself which was AWESOME. It was like a Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman moment finally come to fruition. Have I shared too much?
Anyway loving all things coconut I purchased coconut oil a while back figuring I could use it …read more
