Citrus Effect for Your Hair

Citrus Effect for Your Hair Worried about how lifeless and parched your hair looks? No more worries ladies! Try this new citrus effect and be amazed by the outstanding results.
You’ll get hair so beautiful, even you would hardly believe the reflection you see of yourself! But the question is how can a citrus fruit be of such great a help?
Well, you see the citric acid in fresh juice mixed with carbonation from club soda will perfectly cleanse hair and remove any dirt, chlorine, and salt residue,
if any. And sage oil will restore life in your hair and revive the natural luster. For preparing this recipe, you’ll require: 1/4 cup club soda 1/4 cup freshly squeezed grapefruit juice 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice Drop of sage essential oil Mix all the ingredients, i.ie the grapefruit juice, club soda, orange juice, and lemon juice and pour the mixture in a spray bottle.
In case, you got longer hair, add a little more quantity of each ingredient (instead of ¼ cup add 1/8 cup of each aforementioned ingredient) and mix well. Then add a drop of sage essential oil, which are readily available at most health-food stores. Carefully wet hair, and then spray the mixture on to your hair well. Comb it through so that each hair strand gets properly covered. Leave it on for two to four minutes. After sometime, wash it properly with your favorite shampoo and condition them. Feel flabbergasted with the exotic effect your hair will get, as if someone sprayed new life into them. Go over giving this Citrus effect to your hair once every two weeks. Incase your hair are very dry and damaged, repeat the procedure once every three weeks.

5 Things You Must Do If You Want To Be Beautiful

By: Caterina Christakos
Being beautiful is more about preparation and less about what you are born with. Work with what you have diligently and daily and you have a recipe for true beauty.

Here are 5 tips to put into use immediately:

1. Know What You Want Ahead of Time Go through magazines and find someone with your body and skin type who has had a makeover. If you are considering a hair makeover, as well, then look through hair magazines for women with your hair type.

2. Create a Daily and Weekly Ritual of Beauty Once you know what you want, create a daily skin care ritual and a once a week pampering session. At the very least this should include - cleanser, moisturizer and an at home facial. If you have acne try Proactiv Solution 4-piece with Daily Oil Control

3. Head to the Counter Go to the Beauty Counter at any Major Department Store and have them give you a free consultation. You do not need a million products! Start with the basics - powder, lip liner, lip gloss, blush, a basic eye shadow pack and mascara.

4. Practice Applying Makeup Spend 10 - 15 minutes a day practicing applying your makeup for the first week. Remember to always apply, at the bare minimum, some lip gloss and mascara before leaving the house. Get out the magazine that you found with the look you want and practice recreating it. Tip - Just remember that these models have been digitally enhanced so go for as close as possible without beating yourself up if it is not exactly the same.

5. Gut Your Closet once every 6 months Go to your closet right now and give away anything that you haven't worn in the last two years. Throw out the shirts and jeans that are falling apart or that are so faded that you can barely tell what color they are. And get some good sturdy hangers to hang your clothes on. Finally budget some money to get a few key pieces to complete what is left of your wardrobe.

Tip:
Set up a savings account that has a certain amount automatically taken out of your paycheck each week. You decide the amount. Then treat yourself every 3 - 6 months to a new outfit or pampering session. Take these basics and use them on a daily basis. The beauty industry knows that being beautiful is about enhancing what you have. Take their little secret to heart and practice it daily.

Making and Keeping Friends

Making and Keeping Friends

Establishing and Honoring Boundaries

Feelings inside of you (intuition) let you know who you do and don't want to be close to. Sometimes you may want to be close to a person but are confused by questions of boundaries. You may ask yourself questions like "Have I called too much this week?"

"Have I stayed too long; should I leave now?"

"Should I offer to help her with the children or would she be uncomfortable with that?"

It's appropriate to ask yourself such questions.

Boundaries may differ from person to person.

You may feel comfortable with some people calling you whenever they feel like it,

but you may want to put some restriction around calls from other people.

You may not want to go to certain kinds of activities with some friends

but be happy to go to the same activity with others.
People commonly set limits or boundaries around things like

—the amount of time spent together and place to get together
the kind and frequency of shared activities
phone call time limits—time of day, frequency, and length
connection with family , amount of physical touch
topics of conversation.

In all relationships, you have the right to define your own limits

and boundaries so you feel comfortable and safe.

Say "no" to anything you don't want.

You have the right to ask for what you need, want, and deserve.

Expect and insist that others respect your boundaries

and, as a good friend, always respect their boundaries.

Ways to get Along Better with EveryOne !

1. Before you say anything to anyone, ask yourself 3 things:
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

2. Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully.

3. Never miss the opportunity to compliment or say something encouraging to someone.

4. Refuse to talk negatively about others; Don't gossip and don't listen to gossip.

5. Have a forgiving view of people. Believe that most people are doing the best they can.

6. Keep an open mind; Discuss, but don't argue.(It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable.)

7. Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing or saying anything that could make matters worse.

8. Let your virtues speak for themselves.

9. If someone criticizes you, see if there is any TRUTH to what is being said; If so, make changes; If there is no truth to the criticism, ignore it and live so that no one will believe the negative remark.

10. Cultivate your sense of humor; Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.

11. Do not seek so much to be consoled, as to console; Do not seek so much to be understood, as to understand; Do not seek so much to be loved as to love.
