DIY Beauty treatments

Who says that you need to spend money to be beautiful, when you can find them in the kitchen :)

1. The Olive Oil Hair Treatment

Olive oil isn’t just for cooking — it’s great for your hair, too! Olive oil has been proven to give hair a healthy sheen, help to repair split ends, and reduce frizz.

To give your hair a conditioning treatment, massage about 2 tablespoons of olive oil into your hair and scalp.The amount you’ll use should vary depending on the length and thickness of your hair. And remember to massage it in well – the massaging feels really nice on your scalp, but is also important to the treatment, as massage stimulates helps promote a healthy scalp.

Next, take a warm, damp towel and wrap it around your head and treated hair (“turban” it). Leave it on for about 30-45 minutes. This allows the olive oil to work into your hair to have the full effect.

Finally, rinse out the olive oil with shampoo. This might take a few shampoo-ings (when I tried it, it took 2 rounds.) Give your hair further rest by allowing it to air dry, if you have the time. Then say hello to your luscious locks!

2. The Miracle Mask

This DIY mask, made of nutmeg, honey, and cinnamon, is calming and soothing for stressed-out skin – in addition, it smells absolutely amazing!

The secret? Nutmeg and honey act as natural anti-inflammatories, which can reduce swelling and redness in skin. They’re also great for soothing acne scars and preventing infection. In addition, the nutmeg and cinnamon also work to exfoliate your skin when you wash this mask off.

Before you begin, it’s always a good idea to do a small test with homemade mixes on your skin to make sure you don’t have a bad reaction to any ingredients. So remember to do a quick patch test on sensitive skin, like that on the inside of your wrist, before applying this mask to your face.

To create the mask, mix 2 tablespoons of honey with a teaspoon of cinnamon and a teaspoon of nutmeg.The consistency should be like a thick paste. After it’s all mixed, apply the mask to your face and let it sit for 30 minutes. Wash it off with warm water, scrubbing softly in circular motion for exfoliation.

3. Brown Sugar Body Scrub

One of my favorite DIY beauty treatments is this brown sugar body scrub, found on The Frugal Style. It’s the perfect way to get rid of dry winter skin, as well as prep your body for any sunless tanner you may be applying.

To create the scrub, just mix together half a cup of coarse brown sugar with a tablespoon of honey, a little olive oil, and 1/4 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, then apply all over your body and rinse. The scrub not only smells delicious, but leaves your skin feeling ultra-smooth

" One good thing about music, it that when it hits you, you feel no pain" - Bob Marley 

 Her songs are original and she's only 21. She is one of my newest inspirations in music making folk music into modern music :)  This video is taken at iTunes festival in 2010.  Some other inspiration include: Phil Lynott, Beyonce, Bob Marley, Mayer Hawthorne, Mumford& Sons, Florence & the Machine, The Smiths, Ciara, Queen, The Beatles, Hayley Williams, Jukebox the Ghost, Regina Spektor, Kina Grannis, John Mayer, Arctic Monkeys. Pretty much I listen to a lot of music. If you haven't listened to this song please do. Danke!

Inspiration - 26th Anniversary to Phil Lynott

26th Anniversary today 4th January 2012. A rocker, a legend. Gone but never forgotten. R.I.P Phil. He died 26 years ago, but he still casts a giant shadow over contemporary rock and his music lives on.

I AM

The words “I am” are potent words; be careful what you hitch them to. The thing you’re claiming has a way of reaching back and claiming you

 Today while reading ” Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul” I found something interesting.

 “I Am”

by Amy Yerkes

I am an architect: I’ve built a solid foundation, and each year I go to that school I add another floor
of wisdom and knowledge.
I am a sculptor: I’ve shaped my morals and philosophies according to the clay of right and wrong.
I am a painter: With each new idea I express, I paint a new hue in the world’s multitude of colors.
I am a scientist: Each day that passes by I gather new data, make important observations, and experiment with new concepts and ideas.
I am an astronaut: Constantly exploring and broadening my horizons.
I am a doctor: I heal those who turn to me for consultation and advice, and I bring out the vitality in those who seem lifeless.
I am a lawyer: I’m not afraid to stand up for the inevitable and basic rights of myself and all others.
I am a police officer: I always watch out for others’ welfare and I am always on the scene preventing fights and keeping the peace.
I am a teacher: By my example others learn the importance of determination, dedication, and hard work.
I am a mathematician: Making sure I conquer each one of my problems with correct solutions.
I am a detective: Peering through my two lenses, searching for meaning and significance in the mysteries of life.
I am a jury member: Judging others and their situations only after I’ve heard and understood the entire story.
I am a banker: Others share their trust and values with me and never lose interest.
I am a hockey player: Watching out for and dodging those who try to block my goal.
I am a marathon runner: Full of energy, always moving and ready for the next challenge.
I am a mountain climber: Slowly but surely, I am making my way up to the top.
I am a right-rope walker: Carefully and stealthily I place my self through every rough time, but I always make it safely to the end.
I am a millionaire: Rich in love, sincerity, and compassion, and I own a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, experience, and insight that is priceless.
Most important, I am ME!
