BEAUTY IS A LIFESTYLE THING

I've done a lot of "little" weekend getaways this past summer and have wanted to pack as lightly as possible. That includes all the beauty gear! It's easy if your Hotel room comes with a hairdryer and if it does, it works in a superior manner, that's just one less thing to bring, correct? Perhaps you're like my family, all of us packed into the room and waiting in line for the next person to be done using the blow dryer to use the blowdryer! I found the cutest little blow dryer on the planet The Mini Blast Highlights The Mini Blast has two speeds and packs 280-degree Fahrenheit heat. It is compact but still delivers a 1200 watt power just like its full-size counterpart. This Mini Blast uses Negative Ion Technology that seals the hair's cuticles, this helps to eliminate any frizz. As pictured above, the Mini Blast comes with a concentrator nozzle and a diffuser attachment for usage control. I also enjoyed the weightlessness in your hand and the f...

I have one of these coming and I cannot wait. I have purchased a few different types of hair towels, however, they successfully failed at doing their job. They either did not stay in place, completely feel off my head, were way too heavy or even made out of shabby materials and proved to be not that absorbent or even feel apart. I stumbled upon this product in its very early Kick Starter Phase and I cannot wait to get mine!  Here's a link to get one for yourself. The Hero Hair Towel by Volo is not only beautiful it is affordable and functional and will prevent hair damage. A quick throwback to chemistry 101: Your hair is made of proteins (called keratin) bonded together. These protein-to-protein bonds are super strong! But when your hair is wet, water penetrates into these bonds, weakening them. Weaker bonds = greater opportunity for damage. Plus, the extra weight of the water stretches your hair out.  Removing water quickly and efficiently (especially befo...

It's the end of August and the kids are back at school, and now you can make the most of what is left of the long hot summer days, but by yourself! Are you in the pool with the large mattress float, are you exercising with the music blaring, or how about binge-watching your favorite shows on the patio (with a huge bucket of popcorn)? Whatever you're doing, I hope that you can find your beachy waves if you want them still. Source: Pinterest For myself, I deep clean the house! So many neglected spots and dust bunnies, I've lost count. I also embark on picking the haul in the garden. My family loves pickled foods and I  have just the easiest of all pickling brine recipes. This recipe is tried and true! I have been using it for many years. It is a cold pickling method instead of the boiling canning that once was the prominent way to make pickled foods. This method uses only a few ingredients and within the week they're ready to eat. Easy Pickling Recipe (D...

Many things have changed, like the studies regarding the advancement of drugs, but some things have never changed. What It Is Alzheimer's is a disease that impairs memory, behavior, and thinking. The most common form is called dementia. Dementia affects things like memory, reasoning, thinking and cognitive functioning. It is a complex disease. It is characterized by the accumulation of two types of protein in the brain: Tangle (tau) and Plaques (amyloid-beta). Science is still not sure why that only 1% of people afflicted have gene relation only (meaning all genes that relate to amyloid beta production are present). Then in all other 99% of cases, amyloid and tau are associated with things like brain inflammation, vascular factors, and LIFESTYLE. Lifestyle Changes C...
