June 17, 2015 by Sheila Smith

The first thing we notice about someone are the eyes. Whether you have makeup or not, long thick eyelashes are something that will surely leave an impression.

Some lucky people have naturally thick and long lashes, but by far the greater number of us need to use mascara if they want their eyelashes to be seen.Fortunately, there are natural ways to increase the volume and length of eyelashes.

1. Brush your eyelashes – Yes, you need to brush your eyelashes from time to time. Of course, use a specialized brush that won’t damage the lashes. This will facilitate their growth.

2. Vaseline – Vaseline is a great treatment for dry lips and dry skin but it is also great for the growth of your lashes. . Take an old washed mascara brush and apply Vaseline on the eyelashes from the root to the tips. It is best that you do this at bedtime and leave it overnight. This will hydrate the lashes and accelerate their growth.

3. Vitamins that are beneficial for hair growth are also good for your eyelashes. Biotin and B complex vitamins apart from being useful for your hair and nails, they are also very good for the lashes and their growth.

4. Castor oil – this is certainly the product that is most recommended for hair growth, and therefore for the lashes. Apply it with a clean mascara brush at bedtime and leave it overnight. Soon you will see results!

5. Green tea – In addition to being as good antioxidant and it is recommended that you consume it daily, it is also great for the health of the eyelashes. Soak a piece of cotton into a cup of green tea, place it onto your eyelids and leave it for a few minutes.

The miraculous healing powers of aluminum foil

June 15, 2015 by Sheila Smith

Hair dying has become a must-have for a large number of women. Yet many of us are not always sure what color should they dye their hair, what suits them, so they often experiment.
This is not so bad for our looks, but it is very damaging for the hair!
Constant changes in hair color means more aggressive treatments that damage and dry out your hair.
So we suggest dying your hair using natural methods. Here’s how dye to make your hair blonde, brown or red using the fruits of nature.

Green walnut bark and coffee – for nut-brown hair color

Chop and grind the bark from 1 kg of walnuts and pour 1 liter of water. Put the stove on high temperature to cook. When the water boils leave for another 30 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and leave overnight. The next day, filter the liquid and mix with the hair balm you normally use in 1:1 ratio. Apply the mixture on your hair and leave on for around 30 minutes, then rinse. If you want a lighter shade the keep the walnut shells submerged in the water for a few hours. This method of dying is ideal when you want to move from lighter shades to darker.
COFFEE is another food that can help darken your hair. Brew a strong black coffee, leave it for few hours – the longer the better and rinse the hair.

Onion shell, oak bark and sage – light brown hair color

Put two hands of onion scales and the same amount of oak bark in a deeper pot and mix, and pour 1 liter of boiling water. Cook on mild fire. When it boils turn off the oven and leave for 45-60 minutes to cool completely. Soak your hair in the resulting liquid and leave on for a minimum of one hour. Then rinse and dry the hair as usual. If you want a more consistent and more intense hair color, it is necessary to do the final rinse with alcohol vinegar. Do not worry about the smell it will go away pretty fast.
Sage is another effective natural product for hair coloring in lighter shades of brown. The hair slightly darkens and gives brunettes a richer, deeper color. Cook a stronger sage tea and leave on your hair for a minimum of one hour and preferably longer. Do this hair treatment once a week and in a month you will get the desired color. Similarly, you can use chamomile tea and black tea.

Chamomile and Lemon – golden blonde hair color
Chamomile is one of the best ways for getting lighter blonde hair. You’ll get a few shades lighter hair in a healthy and natural way. Besides chamomile and lemon can help you lighten your hair or make highlights. If you want highlights, simply separate them with aluminum foil, brush the lemon cut in half, place it on the foil and leave for a few hours. If you want to brighten the whole hair, spray lemon juice after the usual washing and dry your hair in the sun.

Beetroot and carrot – red hair
Chop a medium-sized beetroot and 2-3 carrots into small pieces and put them in water to the boil until completely tender. After cooking, allow to cool completely, and blend a couple of pieces in the cooking water. You will get a dark red liquid. Apply to the entire hair and leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse the hair with water, and at the end rinse with vinegar. The effects of this treatment will be the most effective on lighter hair, while for the darker shades you will need to repeat the treatment for several times. But do not worry – it is completely healthy and natural so the hair will not be damaged!

7 reasons why you should start playing sports

May 7, 2015 by Sheila Smith

The health benefits from doing sports should by no means be ignored.

There are activities for absolutely every body type and personality – whether you cardio exercises, team sports or individual activities – you will easily find a sport that will suit you!
And we are here to persuade you to start doing sports! 🙂
We have 7 reasons why you should start playing sports immediately!

1. Weight control

This may be the most important argument for the ladies! 🙂 Sport is absolutely the quickest and most effective way to have the perfect body. Proper nutrition will lead you halfway, because without physical activity there will be no real results.
When you exercise, the body uses the energy stored in the form of fatty deposits (excess weight) and uses the calories that you consume through food.
But do not worry, it is not necessary to sweat in the fitness center or gym for hours. It is enough just to do a shout run and instead of using the elevator use the stairs.

2. Health control

No matter how fit you are, the practice of sport is essential for your health! Physical activity strengthens high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or “good” cholesterol and reduces the unhealthy triglycerides. It ensures a good blood flow, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. In fact, regular physical activity can help prevent or control a wide variety of health problems, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, certain cancers, arthritis….

3. Improving mood

Need emotional energy? Or need to eliminate the stress after a hard day? Practicing in the gym or a short 30-minute walk can help. Physical activity stimulates the secretion of serotonin – the hormone of happiness, which is directly responsible for happy feelings. You will automatically feel better when it comes to your appearance and it will increase your self-confidence.

4. Charging your batteries

The more energy you’ll spend, the more you’ll have it! Regular physical activity will improve your muscle strength and will boost your endurance. Physical activity contributes to a better nutrients and oxygen flow to the tissues and your cardiovascular system will work more efficiently. When your heart and lungs work efficiently, you have more energy to deal with everyday things.

5. Sports will improve your sleep

Regular physical activity will improve the quality of sleep! The faster you fall asleep the better you’ll feel in the morning, without waking up all the time and having restless dreams. But do exercise right before sleeping because your body will be too excited to fall asleep.

6. Improvement of sexual life

Every day you’re exhausted from work and you can’t do absolutely anything, let alone be intimate with your partner. This is how you enter the vicious circle of frustration and tiredness. Physical activity can help you here too. As we said it energizes you, and you will look and feel better, which will certainly have an influence on your intimate relationship! Sports can increase sexual desire in women.

7. Exercise can be fun!

Exercise and physical activity can be a fun way to spend your free time. It gives you the opportunity to relax, enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or friends in a fun way. So, go dancing, go on hiking or join the volleyball team. Find a physical activity that you’ll enjoy. If you get bored, try something new.
