Why everyone should Dye their Eye brows











Everyone should dye their eye brows, because it can make a really huge difference.

I for one am FOR brow tinting/dying, but you should always go to a professional, even though I do mine on my own.


If you're hair is blonde or lighter brown, you should should try to darken up your eye brows a few shades darker, this can make your face stand out.

If you're hair is on the darker side, opt for brows that are a few shades lighter. I have naturally Black hair, and my eye brows are super dark, so I dye them a few shades lighter, and it automatically makes my face look softer.

























You should never go too dark, as it can make you look awkward or caterpillar brow like. only a few shades darker/lighter than your natural color is perfect




Angelina Jolie has the perfect medium brown hair, and she looks great with lighter brows.


















You shouldn't go too light either, it can make you look downright scary!

Bikini No Nos


 

Itsy bitsy bikinis are cute, but there should be a bit more fabric, on your bikini. Anything smaller belongs in the bedroom or a strip club.


If it doesn't fit, get a size that does! you're goods should not be hanging out, you should be wearing sizes that flatter your body

 

strap less bikinis are great! BUT they aren't for you if you're boobs are on the bigger side. Opt for halters or bra bikini that provide extra support

 Retro Bikinis are very much In style, but try to stay with retro patterns or a slight retro look. Never look like you're wearing your moms granny panties.

Repair Damaged Brittle Hair



Since it's august, I think its the perfect time to repair the summer damage. Summer is the worst time for hair, because of the humidity, heat, lighter dyes/ombres and styling products/irons. I think all those Bombshell waves, flirty curls and shinny sleek straight will take a toll on your hair. Since Fall is just around the corner, It's better to start repairing your hair NOW!

 
  1. Go in for a trim
    This is the most important step to take, if you want healthy hair. I always notice my hair feels a lot better when I get a cut. This will rid you of those pesky split ends, and add healthy shine.
    - If the hairstylist recommends that you cut your hair a bit more than you wanted, it's better to just cut it then and there, then to come back and re cut the split ends again, which is the same thing.

  2. Dye your hair darker
    Although an optional step, it's really for the best to go a bit darker for the fall/winter months!
    - Opt for semi-permanent dyes, which are healthier for you in the long run. Also it would leave a PERMANENT color on your hair, which means you can afford to change it up a few times without ripping your hair follicles
    - Instead of redying your hair for vibrancy, try a gloss treatment, for instant shine.
    - Skip the full head dye, and go for the root touch ups!
     
  3.  Treatments at the Salon
    you need to save up a bit, and go in for a hot oil treatment to bring moisture and life back into your hair, your hair will LOVE the pampering and so will you.

  4. At Home Treatments
    I hate it that people go out and spend $$$ on all these products that don't really do much. Everything you need is already in your fridge, so stop wasting your money. You should AIM to fix your hair naturally not chemically.
    - Mix one or two eggs depending on your hair length and thickness, and add as much olive/coconut/almond oil to the mixture as you like and about 1-3 tablespoons of Mayo (I know this sounds gross but trust me) mix the ingredients really well and apply it to your hair. Cover hair with a shower cap, and periodically blow dry your head and put the cap on. Wash your hair after a minimum of 3 hours of applying. the longer you keep it, the better it is. 
  5. Scalp Massage
    Scalp massage is great for blood flow, so keep running your fingers through your hair!
  6. Eat Nutritious and Drink Liters and take your Vitamins
    As it says, nothing can fix your hair but you! The healthier you eat the better!
  7. Avoid Hairsprays and Mousse
  8. Try to straighten your hair once a week or twice a week
  9. Use a good heat protector
  10. Blow dry your hair instead of straightening
  11. Blow Dry your hair, when it's 75% dry
  12. Towel dry/ Air Dry
  13. Shower at night, and air dry, and then style in the morning for easy style rather than going over the same strand
  14. Get a silk pillow to avoid breakage
  15. Dont brush wet hair
  16. use a detangler on hair instead of brushing it out like a champ

Weightloss Diary - Week 1

Starting Weight: 170 lbs
Goal Weight: 130 lbs
Current Weight: 167lbs


I have lost 3 pounds in one week!

- I use myfitnesspal on my Iphone to track my calories, although not a 100% on point, it does help me manage.

- Strict low calorie diet - Limited to 1300 calories a day.
- Regular exercise with 30-40 minutes Cardio and weight training
- African Mango Supplement

I think this week has been a great week, Its been so motivating for me to continue my routine, as I am seeing results. I haven't been able to work out as much, and i did cheat a few times but managed to stay on my calorie limit.

Goal: Do more cardio and eat less snacks.
