In many ways, we don’t really need much advice because we already know basically what we should do:

• Eat a variety of foods, especially whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
• Minimize candy, soda and other empty calories.
• Watch how much we eat.
• Do some physical activity every day.

As a nation, we are increasingly eating more processed foods. Our supermarkets are full of convenient packaged foods that appeal to our taste buds, but compromise our nutrition. In addition, we are eating less variety of foods. Ironically, while 17,000 new products are introduced each year, two-thirds of our calories come from just four foods: corn, soy, wheat, and rice.Pie chart showing two-thirds of the calories we consume come from corn, soy, rice, and wheat.
Nor is our food the same as it was 20 years ago. Nutrients in the soil have been depleted, so food grown in that soil has fewer nutrients. Chemicals are increasingly used in raising both plants and animals, particularly on huge industrial farms that specialize in a few products.

It is easy to fall into the pattern of eating fast, convenient, prepared food, especially in our often frenetic lives. But we are not nurturing ourselves by doing so. Our Standard American Diet (it’s SAD, get it?) lacks nutrients and relies heavily on processed foods that include artificial color, additives, flavorings, and chemically-altered fats and sweeteners.

Our fast foods remove us from the pleasures of creating and savoring a wonderful meal, and our fast pace often prevents us from connecting over a good, slow meal. We tend to eat for convenience and speed, not health and pleasure. No wonder it’s so easy for you to overeat like a mother fucker! (Yeah, I’m talking about you. Well, there’s a very high chance I am considering 69% of Americans are either overweight or obese. 69%!!!)

So there are many reasons why we might want to pay attention to what we eat. Food is powerful stuff. Everyone has to eat. Food is not like medicine, it is medicine. We especially need to pay attention when we are sick so we can help our bodies get the nutrients we need to heal. There are many health benefits if we look at food as medicine. Here are some of the ways.

14Find Relief from Pain Injuries with Water

Homemade Natural Hair Gel – Pacify Unruly Hair with Herbal Styling Gels

Those who are struggling to address the issue of boisterous hair curves are sometimes getting the feeling of fighting a losing battle. In most cases this turns into a war of attrition because unruly hair will not suddenly fall into place as we grow older and it requires constant attention. It is hard to be unsympathetic with those who give up and cut it short, but fortunately there is a better and less definitive solution.

Stylists will gladly invite you to their fancy salons and commiserate, all for the sake of charging you hefty amounts for a service that only fixes the problem temporarily. Homemade remedies such as the herbal styling gel are not miraculous and will need to be applied over and over again, but they have certain benefits.

To start with, their effect lasts roughly the same as an expensive treatment at the hairstylists, but they are incomparably cheaper and won’t put any pressure on your budget.

Another benefit that sometimes evades those who are overly concerned with how to define their curls is that the cosmetic products are drenched in chemicals. The effects are not only detrimental but also irreversible and by the time you realize the problem, there is nobody to be held accountable.

By contrast, a homemade styling gel that uses only herbal ingredients will enhance the natural texture of your hair while strengthening it. Multiple applications won’t hurt in any way, quite the opposite and to top it off there are alternatives for vegans as well.

Benefits Of Using Flaxseed:

• Leaves hair soft, shiny, and moisturized
• Promotes hair growth
• Gives great curl definition
• Nourishing for the hair because it is rich in omega 3
• Gives hold with no crunch/non flaking/not drying to the hair/doesn’t cause breakage/or shedding
• Fast drying
• Great for wash n go’s/sleek styles/twists and twist outs and sets the twists once dry for a lovely twist out
• Mixes well with oils/conditioners/ many products
• All natural..organic.
• Cost effective as you can re-use the flax seeds

Defining Your Curls Or Twists With Homemade Flaxseed Gel

You’ll Need:

1/4 cup flaxseed
2 cups water
4-6 drops of your favorite essential oils (optional)

Strainer or Stocking sock
Tight lid container
Wooden Spoon

Step 1:
Grab 2 cups of water and pour it in the pan then add the flaxseed while heating it all up with constant stirring and let it get all gel-like consistency, not too thick but slightly watery. This way, it would be easier to strain and besides, it will thicken as it cools down.

Step 2:
In order to get the most gel from the flaxseed, just purchase those 25 cent pantie hose and a small 6 oz container and some spare tongs. Place the hose around the container and when the flaxseed is up to your boil of choice drop it in hose. Then pull off the hose (looks like a Christmas stocking) and take your tongs. Just squeeze the gel into the container until you have gotten the most you can get out.

Now you can add your favorite essential oils and mix thoroughly for a smooth and nice smelling gel. Keep styling gel refrigerated between uses. Gel will keep for about 3 weeks in the refrigerator as the oils help to preserve it.

thread eye brows

Way too often, we go to great lengths to highlight our features and our unbridled enthusiasm causes us to overdo it with devastating effects. While pursuing moderation in everything is the key for successful and happy living, there is nothing wrong in trying to enhance our natural beauty. Emphasizing the eyebrows is something that women do on a daily basis, but there are some techniques which deliver powerful results without the hefty price tag of a cosmetic treatment.

The first instinct when we hear about waxing our eyebrows is to frown because there is a certain degree of pain involved in the process. Progress and beauty sometimes require sacrifices, but if there is a way around it, then we owe it to ourselves to pursue every lead. Threading the eyebrows is something that not many women do these days, and that’s not because the technique is revolutionary or untested, quite the opposite. For centuries, women from all over the world resorted to this procedure which is neither painful nor complicated and delivers great results time after time.

!–more–>

If you are a fan of do-it-yourself products and don’t mind getting your hands dirty to save money and time, then you will probably love the concept. The process is less painful than waxing and the main advantage is that you don’t need to be highly experienced to achieve outstanding results. Undesired hair is pulled over in one clean sweep, which translates into less time spent implementing this beauty technique.

10 Noteworthy Beauty Hacks that will Save You Money

Acne Busting Hack

Have you ever wonder why your zits keep on coming back no matter how you spent top dollar on acne fighting remedies that don’t do much rather than drying your skin? Why not make an effort to change your pillow case regularly so you won’t be rubbing your face with the same grime and dirt from your hair and face repeatedly?

Despite the fact that my eating habits are keeping my skin mostly clear, I continue to experience some few zits around my jawline. So, I decided to go to Target few weeks ago and grabbed 7 pillow cases, which means I need to replace my pillow case every single day. I’m not sure whether it’s merely a fluke, but now I’m practically 100% clear these days.

Acne outbreaks can take place due to numerous factors which include diets and hormone imbalances. The most effective cure to prevent zits from happening is a good hygiene. Although dirt or grime alone is not necessarily the root cause of pimples, regular washing of the skin and tresses are advisable to avoid the oil deposit that result in clogged pores. On top of that, replacing your bedding and pillowcases fairly often could reduce breakouts from occurring.

Makeup Remover Hack

Rather than investing in costly eye make up remover, you can simply use your own moisturizing lotion for most eye-makeup removal needs, even the water-proof ones. So, the next time you ran out of makeup remover, grab some moisturizer and apply it generously on your face and let it sit for a minute and wipe it off with cotton pad or a washcloth before rinsing thoroughly. Or you can use baby shampoo or olive oil as one of the alternatives that work the same job.

Lotion Hack

Coconut oil is very popular nowadays as more people are raving about it. It works amazing as a body moisturizer, and been verified to cure psoriasis, eczema and even serious dry skin. Put the kibosh on putting too much money in buying lotion to dehydrate your skin as coconut oil does the same thing. I love using coconut oil after shower. For my concoction, I added few drops of grapefruit oil and apply them to my skin. It makes my skin soft and smooth.

Body Wax Hack

Waxing is quite expensive particularly if you are getting the entire shebang from top to bottom. I am sure some women prefer to wax at home and some of us are not brave enough to perform this out of fear. You can pay for fancy body waxes or you can hack this sugaring Epilation recipe or Body Hair Removal recipe here.. Its almost painless compared with other traditional solutions.

Face Mask Hack

Grab some raw honey and spread it on your face and let it sit for 10 -20 minutes. Honey is a great humectant therefore, it’s good in retaining moisture in our skin aside from that, it is a gentle disinfectant.

It is also a good exfoliant because honey includes gluconic acid that acts as a mild alpha hydroxy acids, these harmless acids enable to ease the bonds between dead skin cells thus making it less difficult to remove the layer. Plus, these kind of acids boost skin elasticity, increase collagen production and stabilize oily skin leaving you a more youthful look.

Face Toner Hack

Loaded with antioxidants, along with vitamins C and E, green tea is a fantastic skin toner and anti-irritant. Probably the most well-known non-alcoholic drinks worldwide, green tea could also soothe sunburn or irritated skin.

How to: Bring water to a boil and brew 2 green teas, allowing them to steep for around 3 minutes and squirt some lemon and a pinch of fresh mint ( this is optional but it helps fight pimples), then store in the fridge. Transfer the rejuvenating spritz mixture to a mister bottle and spritz onto your face. Do not rinse off.

Hair Dye Hack

Opt out on expensive and toxic hair dyes and go all natural with your favorite tea! Here’s a handy guide to type and the color it will bring out in your locks.

Foot Exfoliating Hack

Maybe things are tough all over and your feet need a facial. Grab some potatoes and cut it in halves and dip it in sea salt and you have a hacked pumice stone. Now get scrubbing! Wash it off with warm water and your feet will look like new.

Face Cleanser Hack

Grab your powdered milk and place it in a container. Gradually, add lukewarm water while mixing it with your finger or a stirrer. We need to create a consistency of a paste rather than runny so make sure to slowly add the water.

Apply the paste on your freshly washed face and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes and use a wash cloth to rinse off with warm/tepid water. Once your face is totally cleaned devoid of milk residue, splash your face with cold water to close your pores back in. You can follow it up with witch hazel toner or your favorite moisturizer.

Shaving Hack

Use cheap hair conditioner as shaving cream. This hack worked great for me as my legs were smooth and there was no razor burn to boot. Shaving cream creates a layer between the razor and your skin while protecting from nicks and cuts. Conditioners work just as well and they moisturize while you shave.

home made natural wipes

Some wise guy said a century ago that freedom is necessity understood, and more sympathetic I cannot be. I know that nobody forces me to apply makeup every day, but then again the very thought of leaving house without it gives me shivers down my spine. I don’t particularly dislike makeup, but what I don’t really enjoy is taking it of time after time, still I don’t complain too much about the process itself.

Spending a lot of money on makeup remover wipes that do nothing more than to undo all my efforts doesn’t sound as fair and is particularly frustrating. The moment I understood that complaining about this reality won’t help, I began searching about alternatives to expensive commercial products. I’m proud to announce that a do-it-yourself makeup wipes will save you money and even time, because you can make a lot of them in one short session.

Don’t be afraid about the effects, because removing makeup will not take longer and there is not even the slightest sign of discomfort. Even if you were used with the top-of-the-line products, a couple of paper towels with baby wash, coconut oil and some purified water will meet your expectations. I got so hooked on these homemade makeup remover wipes that I have to admit that I have my bag packed with them and I use them whenever the opportunity appears. The truth is that you can never have too many refreshing wipes on you, and they can do much more than remove makeup.

You’ll Need:
Microwaveable bowl
Purified water or distilled water (to inhibit the growth of mold)
Coconut oil
Tear-free baby wash
Container with a lid that snaps into place
Roll of paper towels
Utility knife

Tip: I added some Tea Tree Oil on this batch because of its anti-fungal/anti-bacterial properties and so far, no mold as of yet and its almost two weeks!

Also, if you have some issue with the coconut oil becoming slightly solid in spots when the container has been in a room that is cooler than its melting point, I usually try to rub the oil back into the wipes and the warmth of my fingers melts it up again.

1In a microwaveable bowl, mix 2 cups of purified water, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, and 2 squirts of baby wash.

Warm the mixture in the microwave for a few seconds and stir. Now you’re ready for the “wipe” part of the project!

2Measure the paper towels to fit into the container and cut them width-wise with a sharp knife to fit.

3Place the roll into the container and pour your makeup remover mixture over it.

Replace the lid and turn the container over to soak. Leave for five minutes, then turn it over and remove the cardboard center.

4Cut a small “X” in the lid to pull the wipes through.

That’s it! Store according to your laziness level.
