My newest hair craze

Most people would call me a PJ (product junkie), but I call it an investment. So I kind of jumped on the band wagon, but the stuff really is amazing. I discovered a new best friend on hairsistas.ning.com. My new best friend is called Henna. If you are looking for a way to condition your hair really good, save money by saving your hair color, then this is one of the best ways. It is natural, and very safe. it makes your hair feel very soft. Just be sure to follow the directions on the container. It helps.

Protect the Beauty Within

There is nothing worse than coming down with a cold on the most important day of your life. Imagine having to do a major presentation or an interview with a cold. For extra protection, I like to walk around and use my sanitizer. Most people think that they may offend another individual if they use sanitizer in front of someone. The truth is that you are sending a signal that everyone should safeguard themselves against germs. It doesn't matter who it is.
Everyone in this world carries germs. I can remember telling friends about this. One lady admitted that she is sensitive to germs. She uses it right in front of her own children. She says that she loves them, but she can not get sick and think that she will be able to do her job as a mom.
As an educator, I come into contact with germs all of the time. Baby germs, kid germs, adult germs, it does not matter... everyone has them. They do not discriminate. If someone has an airborne illness that transports itself by germs on the hands then you may get sick.

Here is my remedy...

Pampering Yourself at Home

Pampering yourself does not have to cost much. Many people think that in order to get that great look that they just have to get to the spa or the salon. Get that same treatment at home, for less.

Well you know about the lavendar and how it gives you a feeling of instant relaxation.

To get that great hair to match... get Mirta de perales deep conditioning hair masque... Well the reason why I like it is because it's the reason why I still have hair on my head. This is the most moisturizing product on the market for my hair. When my hair feels dry, I wash it and apply Mirta de perales hair masque and the PH levels of my hair become balanced.

Non Comedogenic Products and Skin Care

This summer, I had a lot to learn. There is a reason why Clinique is such a known brand. It does not clog your pores. It is non comedogenic.

People everywhere have been raving about these products for a long time. I like Clinique because it gives me that natural, but beautiful feeling of being able to appreciate your natural look, with little to no makeup. Some people thought that I was a heavy make-up user, but the truth is that many times I go bare skinned with just my Clinique facial cleanser and moisturizer and some lip gloss, and I call it a day. This is how I keep my skin looking fresh and youthful.

Stop... Rest Time

Whenever you need to sleep do not fight it. Your body is asking to be rejuventated. Sleeping is the best way to fight any diseases, a cold, and even stress.
With all of the difficulties that are going on in the world, more and more people are choosing to pull off all nighters. The sad part is that these all nighters are causing more harm than good. It makes you fotgetful, and most of all you cells do not get a chance to do their job.
Do not put your body on auto drive. If the work does notget done, then you have to know when enough is enough. Do not wait until its too late. If you wait too long, eventually it will be too late.

For all of you night owls out there who have a hard time falling asleep, try this special trick.

Lavendar.

- A lavendar bath or shower (soap or shower gel)
-lavendar lotion
-lavendar oil massage
-Lavendar a freshner
-lavendar under your pillow... a bar of lavendar soap

A little ol school, but it works wonders. It will knock you out. You don't have to do them at the same time, but it's great to have options.

Look Fab in a matter of day... true weight loss story

Ever heard of the real goldilocks story of weight loss? Well here is mine.

Once upon a time I thought I was too skinny. So I ate and ate, until I couldn't anymore. No luck. Well not literally. I didn't turn down a great healthy meal. I had my limits.

Well I went through this yo yo episode for a while. One day, I decided to visit the gym for the first time. Oh my, I fell in love. The treadmill was my best friend. The free weights were like my cousin. I found my new love. Bye Bye buffet... hello gym. You might say... oh okay so she's a fitness guru. Well I had to learn a couple of things here and there. I got a job there at one time... hooray ... you may say.... Well for me it was not so happy.
I had to show my clients how to work out, but I messed up by not giving myself limits. All of a sudden I went down to my High School weight, without knowing... Wow you may say... Well not when you are 111 pounds in high school... Well you get the picture. I went down close to that.

So I was forced to give up my best friend for a while and live on Boost and Ensures... so the cycle begins again. Up and down... up and down.
Years later my dad says, you know... you have got to love yourself for who you are. You should be your biggest fan. It took me some time, but it worked. All of a sudden, I was not concerned with what people were saying. You are too small, you are too big... to me after a while I had another problem. I became just right and the haters came after... Hello new me.  Well with anything in life... blues can continue to be gone when we do everything in moderation... including the work out. When I feel people trying to tell me things that I do not like or look at me funny I just smile and keep walking.

Always remember to stay true to who you are and the blues will be gone.
