Need a new idea for what to do with those turkey-day leftovers?

Sneaking in a spa getaway before the holidays is easier than you think. Madison Reed wants you to know about these 5 swanky spa treatments for your hair. The best part? These deliciously healthy hair solutions can be found in your own kitchen!

1. Beer is the Silver Bullet for Fine, Limp Hair

Believe it or not, beer is full of protein, which enhances shine, strength, and moisture.

HOW: Just open up a can or bottle and let it sit open for a couple hours to release the carbonation. After you shampoo, gently massage the beer into your hair, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and then rinse. You can also put the beer in a spray bottle and spritz onto dry hair. The protein residue from the brew will help strengthen your hair.

2. Honey is The Bee’s Knees for Split Ends

Don’t worry, we’re not leading you into a sticky situation, you can safely put honey on your hair! In fact, it can be a miracle worker for damaged hair. Honey is antibacterial, contains vitamins and minerals, and is a humectant, which means that it attracts moisture to improve dry hair.

HOW: Using half a cup of honey, saturate your hair. Put on a shower cap to capture natural heat and put your feet up for half an hour (you deserve it). Rinse out the honey to reveal glowing soft, silky hair. This treatment will help reduce split ends and fly aways.

3. Baking Soda Gets a Rise Out of Your Hair

Time to apply our science class know-how to hair care! Baking soda is an alkaline base (the other end of the spectrum from acids). This is important for hair because excess oils and styling products get trapped in the cuticle of your hair, making it feel greasy and flat. Use baking soda to lift out those unwanted oils and product build up.

HOW: Mix two tablespoons of baking soda with small amounts of water until it forms a thick paste. Work this paste into your hair and let it sit for ten minutes before rinsing. Your hair will gain volume and feel bouncy and clean!

4. Avocado to Bring Down the Frizz

The oils in avocados are very similar to the natural oils in our skin. Combined with its proteins and nutrients, this is one hair-enriching fruit! Use as a smoothing balm to tame frizz and fly aways. In winter months, it can also reduce that annoying seasonal static.

HOW: Mash half an avocado until smooth. Massage into damp hair and leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing. Your hair will be deeply conditioned. Bonus: if you have curls, this treatment will make them soft and defined.

5. Let the Light in with Yogurt

Yogurt does wonders for dull, lifeless hair. It contains lactic acid, which gently cleans off the environmental film that can build up on our hair, and milk fat, which adds incredible shine.

HOW: Massage a half cup of plain yogurt into damp hair. Put on a shower cap to capture natural heat. After 20 minutes, rinse your hair. Your hair will look like it’s glowing!

Treat yourself to one of these kitchen spa treatments once a week on rotation to relax and get healthy, gorgeous hair. Follow up with Madison Reed Radiant Color Kit that is healthier for your hair for a full beauty routine that leaves you feeling great, inside and out!

Azara Organics Seaweed Powder Review #seaweed

   


It is not everyday you find a skincare product that you can immediately say will be a staple in your beauty routine.





This is the first time I have ever used a seaweed powder. I researched a little to know more about the product.
Sea kelp is a  seaweed or marine algae that is available in powder form. It may be brown, green or red, and is rich in various nutrients such as minerals and proteins. Azara Organics sent me the product for my honest review. The jar consists of 8 ounce of fine kelp powder. There was a customer protection seal for freshness. Azara Organics Seaweed Powder(Ascophyllum Nodosum) is wild harvested from the clean cold ocean water of the North Atlantic. It is constantly tested to insure its quality and consistency.


There are many uses of Seaweed Powder.

Health Benefits

It is one of those ingredients that you should consider adding to your diet. It is full of iodine, which American diets can be lacking in, as well as B vitamins. 



Seaweed Powder for Weight Loss

Seaweed powder may also be a valuable food for those on a weight-loss diet since improved metabolism can help remove excessive fat in the body.

Hair Problem?
If your problem is that you simply don't have as much hair as you'd like, seaweed can help! Because it contains so much iodine, it can stimulate hair growth. There can be plenty of reasons why people start to lose their hair, one of the most common and one of the most overlooked is an iodine deficiency. A simple diet change is all it takes to grow more hair!
As an added benefit, when you apply Seaweed mask direct to your hair, the iodine can  fight off bacteria and microscopic fungus.That is what's eating away  your hair follicles and making you look a little thin on top.


Skin Benefits:
Seaweed  has  skin care benefits that can not be ignored, if you don't mind the sea smell. A seaweed body wrap or detoxification methods such as sea kelp powder baths, is a popular treatment in many spas. It helps to remove toxins from your body and may improve overall health.  Seaweed powder is mixed with oils and essential oils to create a mud-like consistency that is applied to exfoliated skin. You are  wrapped up tight and left to relax for about 30 minutes. It is thought that the seaweed pulls out the toxins in your body and can aid in general well-being, relieving aches and pains temporarily.




Seaweed Body Wrap

You can easily make a seaweed body wrap at home. It is a good idea to exfoliate before you wrap your skin. I used it in my husband's absence. A girl needs a "Me" time too.

What You Will Need:
1/2 Cup Azara Organics Seaweed Powder ( You can buy it here.)
3-4 Tablespoons of Your Favorite Oil (Olive, Argan, Jojoba...)
2-4 Drops Essential Oils (Optional)
Warm Water
Plastic Wrap
Towels

Mix the seaweed powder, oil and water until your desired consistency. It should be thick paste, not watery.
After mixing, you can add the essential oil if you like.
Line your bed with plastic, perhaps a cheap shower curtain,. This will protect your bed or your floor. Lie down wherever you are most comfortable for 30 minutes.


Applying to Skin:

Standing over a towel or in the shower. Apply mixture to your entire body. (It is going to be messy.) Once applied, you can wrap areas of your skin with plastic wrap. Having someone help with this will make it easier, especially for the torso. Just do your best - the plastic will stick to the "mud", so it doesn't have to be perfect.

Once wrapped, lie down on a towel and apply another towel over the top of you to keep yourself warm. If you have a blanket you don't care much about, feel free to get under the covers to encourage sweating. Sweating can help further detoxify your skin. Seaweed contains acids that can bind to toxins in your body. Kelp or seaweed combined with heat, penetrates your skin and draws out impurities

Tip: While you rest, consider placing sliced cucumbers over your eyes to reduce puffiness.

After 20 to 30 Minutes:

Remove wrap and take a warm shower to rinse off all the seaweed "mud".

Seaweed Face Mask

If a messy body wrap isn't your thing, reduce the recipe and make a face mask instead. Leave on for 15 minutes and rinse off.

"Cellulite" No Please.....
For most of us, "cellulite" is so unsightly and so hard to get rid of! However, seaweed can make your skin more supple and more elastic .... These are the two things that can help stop cellulite in its tracks.

My thoughts

I had no idea about the smell but Azara Organics already mentioned that they have not used any chemicals to hide the natural seaweed smell. I did not know what to expect. Well I have to admit, I am not a big fan of the odor.

. I followed the directions, using a tsp of powder and 2 tsp water but had to add more water as it was too thick. I added couple of drops of argan oil, and left it for a while. I noticed the strong odor subsided a little. I applied the mask like any company made mask and left it on for 15 minutes. I am glad that though the odor is too strong but there are no chemicals added to hide it, as I am trying to go all natural. I am happy that at least Azara Organics is trying to make an effort and providing us with all natural 100% seaweed powder. I also tried it as a body wrap and noticed remarkable difference. The smell is overpowering, for that you can add essential oils, like lavender, jasmine or any other of your liking. Azara Organic is trying to bring no chemical,100% and all natural product. Their motto is If we don't feel safe and comfortable ingesting it into our body then it does not belong on our skin. I recommend this product.

Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream Review #BodyMerry

         

Our skin is the most important and main organ ,it is also the only organ that takes a lot of abuse and ignorance and as a result we look ten years older than our actual age.

When I was growing up my mom helped me a lot on how to take care of my skin. Keeping it clean, exfoliating it and using less chemicals .....I followed all and I am glad all her efforts and suggestions paid off!!
But there are certain things or lets say changes on the skin that you have no control over ,fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, crow's feet and the worst of all Dark circles

Dark circles under the eyes, sometimes called shadows or dark rings under the eyes, are the appearance of dark skin between the lower eyelid and the top of the cheek.

I know that taking care of my skin goes beyond just the products I slather on. Many of the lifestyle choices I make every day can have a significant effect on how my skin looks and feels.
but the best way to help slow the hands of time on my face that really makes a difference is to use a cream that helps diminish aging signs.
For me the biggest factor is Dark circles.
There are hundreds of skincare products that claim to reduce dark circles,but do they really work??
Luckily I got chance to try a new cream By BodyMerry.
Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream is a comprehensive solution for all eye concerns – whether its dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness, crow's feet, fine lines, dryness, sags or bags.


My Opinion:
Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream comes in a plastic bottle which contains 30ml product. This eye cream is white and creamy and it has barely noticeable scent.(It smells like licorice, apple and I love that)
The cream itself is very light and absorbs quickly leaving eye area nicely moisturised. I noticed my dark circles becoming lighter and lighter by every day and fine lines around my eye area have almost diminished. It contains an impressive mix of proven hydrating ingredients like Jojoba Oil,beeswax, Cocoa butter.
It is made in USA and has not been tested on animals.
In conclusion this is a pretty good eye cream. I noticed a big effect on fine lines, it made my under eye area look lighter and I liked that Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream absorbs quickly leaving my eye area moisturised.
It is difficult to get an eye product that looks as though it works...but this one really does seem to do a good job..

Would I purchase it again?Yes of course.

A little amount goes a long way

Here are some quick tips on how you can get the most out of this eye cream:
Clean and completely dry your skin before use.

A tiny amount (smaller than even a pea sized dollop) is sufficient for both eyes, so take it easy until you find the quantity that works best for you.

Use your finger to dab the cream along the contours of your eyes. This is the area under the eyes to the cheekbones, at the outer corners and underneath the brows.

Use on eyelids as well. This helps to keep droopy lids at bay. If crow's feet are a concern, ensure that you get the cream into the crevices at the corners.

Move in a circular fashion, and don't press too hard. The skin around your eyes is extremely sensitive so be gentle!

You can also use the cream as an all over face and neck moisturizer as well as on your hands, to slow the signs of aging.

For best results, use twice daily (morning and night). Given that any product of this nature needs some time to fight signs of years of aging, we recommend that you give it at least 5-6 weeks to show you what it is truly capable of.

Seven Tips to Repair Summer-Damaged Hair

(Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.)

Sunny days lounging by the pool, exploring the great outdoors, and traveling far and wide – all the summer excitement has been harsh on your hair. Here are a few tips to get it back in shape.

1. Turn Down the Heat
Your locks have been suffering the heat all summer long. Give them a break by using a cooler hair dryer setting for a bit while your hair recuperates.

2. Stash the Irons
Try out some of the new fall styles that don’t require a flat or curling iron. Your hair will thank you, and you might find a look you like even better.

3. Get a Trim
After all the sun, wind, and chlorine it’s a wonder you have any nutrients left in your hair – and the result is split-ends and frizz. Getting a little trim is an easy way to start fresh for the fall.

4. Avoid Alcohol
…in your hair products that is. If your hair is already feeling dry and dehydrated, using styling products that have alcohol in them, like gel, will make your hair even more brittle.

5. Get a Good Brush
Use a boar bristle brush to brush your hair thoroughly at least once a day. This will help distribute your hair’s natural oils throughout your tresses and help your hair, heal any damage on its own.

6. Do Some Deep Conditioning
It can be as easy as leaving a deep conditioner in instead of rinsing it out or trying out a new hair masque. Either way, your hair needs this like a cool drink of water on the hottest summer day.

7. Use a Healthier Hair Color
Looking to darken your shade for the fall? A lot of permanent hair color formulas contain ammonia, resorcinol, PPDs and alcohol, all of which can damage your hair far beyond what it’s already been through this summer. Give your hair a nutrient boost instead with Madison Reed hair color. We don’t use any of those chemicals! Instead we pack our salon-quality formula with naturally-derived ingredients like Argan oil, keratin, and ginseng root extract for vibrant, long-lasting color in your favorite fall shades.

Why Bath Salts are More Tempting than a Cinnabon

Imagine a hectic day ,lot of hard work and crazy never ending chores ,your back hurts,your muscles are sore and You really need something  to pick you up!!!

When situations are that bad soaking myself in Epsom salt bath with some essential oils, is the only thing I can think of.......

Soaking in an Epsom Salts bath after a long day, works to soothe me on all levels – body, mind and spirit.

Because the magnesium from the Epsom Salts is absorbed directly through your skin it allows even people who find it hard taking magnesium orally to be able to top themselves up with this magical mineral.
Magnesium is an important element within our body.  It is used by our nervous system, and also by our muscles.  When we do physical work we  burn up lots of magnesium.

Magnesium is a co-factor in over 300 enzymatic actions in the human body, such as co-factoring with calcium to build and sustain healthy bones. It gives us energy, prevents muscle cramps and pains, calms us and helps us sleep.

-- Want a natural spa treatment?

Once a week for 20 minutes, sit in a hot bath that contains a handful of Epsom or sea salts, 10 drops of lavender essential oil, and a half cup of baking soda. This combo draws out toxins, lowers stress-related hormones, and balances your pH levels.

Water-Resistant Professional Skin Care Face and Body Brush System by ToiletTree Review

Why Face Brushes are Hotter than Jennifer Lawrence????
Probably because they are bringing SEXY back!!!!

Aren't you overwhelmed by all the commercials and advertisements that claim their lotions or potions  or gadgets will make your skin look so much better? Don't you scratch your head in confusion at all the choices in the skin care aisle of your local drugstore or supermarket? If yes!!! We are on the same boat.


Let me start from the beginning, as my beloved Mom always told me and I quote"Keep your face away from all these new funny looking electronic mumbo jumbo,they can be harmful and unpredictable"
and I followed it blindly.....

Until recently,when  my whole perspective of electronic face and body brush changed and it changed in a very positive way.

It all started when I got chance to try Water-Resistant Professional Skin Care Face and Body Brush System by ToiletTree 
This Professional Skin Care System Consists of:

 
Washing your face doesn't have to be a 10-step process, and you don't have to spend a lot of money to fill up your medicine cabinet.

Just choose one good cleanser and Water-Resistant Professional Skin Care Face and Body Brush System by ToiletTree Products and you are on the journey of acquiring amazing skin.

Your skin is a telltale indicator of how good you feel. Get started with deep cleaning as that is the basic rule.
As I said earlier I was extremely hesitant to use the face brush ...my mom's words were constantly echoing in my head.  I started of using Body brush and was extremely impressed, I cleaned my body of all the dead skin accumulated......
I thought I cleaned my body well but apparently that was not enough.It needed deep cleaning and this body brush did wonders.It was soft and hard at the same time ,the best part is, it is water resistant/proof ,so I can use it without fear of electrocuting myself or maybe spoiling the whole unit in the shower. (4 AA batteries are used)
                                   



For face, there are two brushes a medium brush,with slightly hard bristles to exfoliate and soft brush with feather light bristles for tender face skin.After contemplating for a while, I finally decided to give the soft face brush a try. Honestly I was extremely worried because my skin is very sensitive. My biggest concern were dry patches on and around my nose ,so my main focus was to get rid of them. I used a very gentle liquid cleanser and holding my breath,  I started using Soft Face Brush. I guess I was thinking something might pop out right away.....??
Nothing bad happened!!!!

I read somewhere
"When you want deep exfoliation, do it longer, not harder, as you cleanse your skin. Don't think scrub when you're using one, since too much force is harmful"

Not following that at all, when I was using the face brush ,I used for couple of seconds,but was amazed by the result.

Body Brush

 My nose was clean and free of dry patches,
Patches, I was so concerned about. It was amazing to see how gently, soft face brush worked on my delicate skin without irritating it.
                                      

Another thing I loved about it was,the strap attached at the end,for easy hanging after each use.
.

Pumice Stone

Pumice stone as the words indicate is a stone that helps you clean your heals and get rid of hard ,dead skin.

Now I totally understand the reason, why  people are freaking out over  face brushes—they actually work!

The handy little tool cleans and exfoliates in one fell swoop.  Face brushes are perfect for getting your blood, circulating.

Massaging and cleaning with professional skin care brush ,brings shine and  cleans

deeply , which is not possible by using just hands ,cleanser and water.

In fact I would say Face Brushes can get you, your heart's desire!!

I would definitely recommend this Professional Skin Care Face and Body Brush System to anyone who is little short of time and wishes to have cleaner and younger looking skin.
What do you think? Do tell me your choice of face brush and why do you like it?

All Natural Sibu Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser Review

Sibu Beauty, has premium skin care products, made from the Himalayan sea buckthorn berry. Known as the “beauty berry” across Europe and Asia. Sea buckthorn contains over 190 bioactive compounds that restore, revitalize, and protect youthful beauty – from the inside-out AND outside-in. These hardy berries help nourish skin, hair, and nails with powerful antioxidants and essential fatty acids, including the rare Omega 7 – a key building block to healthy skin, hair, and nails.
Sibu Beauty features luxurious natural skin cleansers, moisturizes, and other topical treatments as well as dietary supplements that beautify and protect from the inside-out.

SEA BUCKTHORN BALANCING FACIAL

CLEANSER

Deep yet gentle cleansing is the foundation of effective facial care at every age. This all-natural balancing facial cleanser gently removes dirt, impurities and make-up while maintaining a healthy balance in your skin without compromising its natural protective nutrients. This lightly exfoliating facial cleanser will leave your face fresh, clean, and perfectly balanced. Your skin will look and feel radiant.

• Leaves skin looking and feeling radiant and refreshed
• Removes excess oil and impurities
• Contains micro-particles for a gentle exfoliation
• Great for removing make-up
• Non-foaming gel formula for all skin types

When Sibu sent me their Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser  to review I was excited but a little skeptical. Other products hadn't worked for me in the past but I was willing to try it.The first thing I noticed about the Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser was the smell. It wasn't overpowering but was a nice and fresh citrusy fragrance ,it feels like you have just cut open an orange ,that  helps a lot in feeling refreshed and content. While using the  cleanser I noticed ,the grainy texture is not harsh at all,in fact it is exactly the right amount that is good and appropraite for skin, after all there are some abrasive cleansers that feel like you are rubbing a sandpaper on your skin.I was really impressed by the packaging it came in,a beautiful sleek bottle with easy to dispense pump.

After using the cleanser for the first time,I noticed it cleaned my face without over drying . It pulled away anything that would not be good for my face and left the moisture it needed.My skin felt instantly clean and quite moisturized and subtle.I never really knew what sea buckthorn is ,or it contains elusive and abundant amount of  'Omega 7' (that is amazing for skin )or  what it smells like but it actually made me think about those berries,and I felt good knowing that those humble little berries are helping my skin right now.

Unlike most cleanser gels, a little goes a long way with this one - I needed a pea-sized drop to wash my entire face and neck and even that felt like too much sometimes. My face always feels very soft and fresh afterwards, so after  a month of using it twice daily I can definitely say that this is the product I would recommend to anyone. I believe it will work well for any skin type, from the driest to the oiliest.

Directions For Use

8 Homemade Hair Treatments

Make an all-natural remedy designed especially for your hair type

Eggs, yogurt and honey are, at first glance, all components of a tasty breakfast—but they also happen to be hair treatment ingredients, and affordable, all-natural ones at that. And they're not the only ones. Did you know, for instance, that the oils in avocados more closely resemble our own skin's oils than any product in the beauty aisle does? Or that the mild acidity in lemon is an effective—and gentler—alternative to chemical-laden products? Next time your locks need a lift, save money by using one of these kitchen fixes.

For All Hair Types

"The [raw] egg is really the best of all worlds," says Janice Cox, author of Natural Beauty at Home. The yolk, rich in fats and proteins, is naturally moisturizing, while the white, which contains bacteria-eating enzymes, removes unwanted oils, she explains.

To Use:For normal hair, use the entire egg to condition hair; use egg whites only to treat oily hair; use egg yolks only to moisturize dry, brittle hair, Cox says. Use 1/2 cup of whichever egg mixture is appropriate for you and apply to clean, damp hair. If there isn’t enough egg to coat scalp and hair, use more as needed. Leave on for 20 minutes, rinse with cool water (to prevent egg from “cooking”) and shampoo hair. Whole egg and yolks-only treatments can be applied once a month; whites-only treatment can be applied every two weeks.

For Dull Hair

Styling products (as well as air pollution) can leave a film that both saps moisture and dulls shine—but dairy products like sour cream and plain yogurt can help reverse this damage. "Lactic acid gently strips away dirt while the milk fat moisturizes," says Lisa Belkin, author of The Cosmetics Cookbook.

To Use: Massage 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt into damp hair and let sit for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water, followed by cool water, then shampoo hair as you normally would. Treatment can be applied every other week.

For Itchy Scalp

To fight flakes—brought on by poor diet, stress and climate, among other factors—try a lemon juice and olive oil mixture in your hair. "The acidity in lemon juice helps rid your scalp of any loose, dry flakes of skin, while the olive oil moisturizes the [newly exposed] skin on your head," says Cox.

To Use: Mix 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 Tbsp olive oil and 2 Tbsp water, and massage into damp scalp. Let mixture sit for 20 minutes, then rinse and shampoo hair. Treatment can be applied every other week.

For Limp or Fine Hair

To add body to hair, reach for an unlikely beauty beverage: Beer! !!!The fermented drink contains generous supplies of yeast, which works to plump tired tresses, explains Cox.

To Use: Mix 1/2 cup flat beer (pour beer into a container and let it sit out for a couple of hours to deplete carbonation) with 1 tsp light oil (sunflower or canola) and a raw egg. Apply to clean, damp hair, let sit for 15 minutes, then rinse with cool water. Or add flat beer only to a spray bottle and spritz onto dry hair. "When the liquid evaporates, the remaining protein residue (from the wheat, malt or hops) continues to strengthen and structure hair," says Belkin. Treatments can be applied every other week.

For Dry or Sun-Damaged Hair

Whatever your hair-dehydrating demon—hard water, sun overexposure, your trusty flat iron—nature's sweetener can help. "Honey is a natural humectant, which means it attracts and locks in moisture," says Cox.

To Use: Massage approximately 1/2 cup honey into clean, damp hair, let sit for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water. You can also add 1 to 2 Tbsp olive oil to loosen the honey for easier application. For extremely sun-damaged hair, trying mixing honey with 1 to 2 Tbsp of a protein-rich ingredient, like avocado or egg yolk, which will help replenish the keratin protein bonds that UV rays attack. Treatment can be applied once a month.

For Oily or Greasy Hair

"Used properly, [cornmeal or cornstarch] is an inexpensive way to remove oil and grease," says Belkin.

To Use: Pour 1 Tbsp cornmeal or cornstarch into an empty salt or pepper shaker and sprinkle onto dry hair and scalp until you’ve used it all. After 10 minutes, use a paddle hairbrush to completely brush it out. Treatment can be applied every other day.

For Frizzy Hair

Home beauty experts swear by avocado—and not just to repair damaged hair. Its oils (which are light and moist like our own natural skin secretions) and proteins boast the best combination of nutrients for smoothing and weighing down unruly hair, explains Cox.

To Use: Mash up half an avocado and massage into clean, damp hair. Let sit for 15 minutes before rinsing with water. Amp up moisturizing power by combining mashed avocado with 1 to 2 Tbsp of a hydrating ingredient, like sour cream, egg yolks or mayonnaise. Treatment can be applied every two weeks.

For Residue-Ridden Hair

"Nothing eats through product buildup like baking soda," Cox says. Sodium bicarbonate essentially breaks down anything acidic.

To Use: Mix 1 to 2 Tbsp baking soda with small amounts of water until a thick paste forms. Massage into damp hair and let sit for 15 minutes. Rinse with water, then shampoo hair. Treatment can be applied every two weeks.

I hope these treatments help you and make your hair the way you want it.
