You have to tolerate her voice to listen to the damn thing ;P I made it through about a minute..You don't have to like her voice to use her tips.
MY MISTAKE for linking a video with a girly-girl, highly intolerable voice!!!! Was hoping I could make a constructive contribution to a female-dominated thread, but didn't realize my video was completely unwatchable. I have much to learn in the art of tolerable, video-linking, constructive contribution!
Its...gonna be ok?
Twirling flowers are acceptable. I hope you find the following video more suitable for you than my previous one.Its...gonna be ok?
Wow awesome video Snaps!! Thanks for posting it! I didn't mind her voice...
I might try the kiwi over the eyes, the olive oil nail dip, the cactus in the office (I sit right next to the printer!)... I need to rewatch it to catch some more things... It went so fast!

Glad you like it!
I use honey on my face, but not just any honey, I use raw honey, the one that's very tough and solid like; it moisturizes my face and keeps me from breaking out and heals break outs fast.
This is what I do, too. Sure helps with the stress pimples that pop up. So much better than the toothpaste method.
we all could use a remedy to our beauty

Yeah I've tried the toothpaste method and that does nothing for me.

It always worked fine for my brother and friend, but not for me. I actually have a minor scar on the side of my face from the toothpaste burning through it, so I avoid the toothpaste method at all costs now.
Yeah I was going to say that all it did was irritate my skin but didn't solve the pimple, not even a little bit... I wonder why it works for some? pH of the skin maybe?

My bet ->[Toothpaste composition x skin = result.] (x air conditioning x weather x bedsheet composition x random pigeons etc)
Reason is a whore.
My fav is the Trader Joe's Tea Tree Oil Shampoo.
I've tried a couple of other sulfate-free shampoos (Moroccan Oil brand - love the smell; Desert Essence Tea tree oil shampoo), and get a very itchy scalp as well. Never heard of cones before, not sure of these shampoos' cone status - i wonder if that could be the culprit.
TJ's TTO shampoo is sulfate free as well (and CHEAP!)

I don't use home remedies now, but in the past I've used sugar + lemon juice as a body scrub, and it did the job. I also used to use olive oil on my hair and it worked nicely to add shine and moisture.
You know I've never really cared about home beauty remedies, but I have prepared hollandaise sauce which is great when you top it on top of some poached eggs. It's also really finicky because you have to mix eggs and butter together, maybe a little lemon sauce to give it some zest. But if you overheat it and don't stir enough the eggs start to scramble and you don't want none of that. If you underheat it the two don't mix and you get something like runny butter sauce and egg yolk. You have to find just the right balance and since its an emulsion you have to be ready to pour it on the poached eggs at just the right time, preferably while they are still warm.
Here's a master at work in the kitchen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5B1BTkEeSw
Pay attention to how he keeps it stirring so they don't scramble. It's very important. He's also a bit fancy with his preparation, and like to add a little cayenne, I suppose to give it the proper waa-pow. Overall the entire meal is good, packed with lots of protein.
I haven't used shampoo for over 2 months. In the beginning my hair got greasy but not anymore. The scalp adapts to it and hair is just normal. I wanted to try getting rid of shampoo after reading about the no poo movement. I brush my hair now and then and wash it with plain water. That's all. Works well. It's funny how the beauty industry fools us to buy their products.
No 'poo is the shit!
how long are your hair? i'd like to go no poo but it's really hard even to space out washing days w/ long hair...
For long hair, when transitioning to nopoo, ya might consider spraying on some good conditioner mixed with water towards the ends. It takes a while for the oils to reach the middle and ends of long hair, so this helps protect them until then. If it feels sticky, use more water, and can use water to rinse it out as needed.

heeeheee heee
no poo.
it's more about it getting oily (even though i only use a gentle shampoo & acv rince).
Why is it hard? You can go slow and wash less and less and then quit later. I used to wash my hair like twice aweek when I still used shampoo. Washing with plain water also helps a little if the hair gets greasy in the beginning. Brushing also helps spread out the oils. But greasy hair for some weeks is not the end of the world. My hair is on the longer side but my overall haircut is still short, kind of like young David Hasselhoff (I can't believe I'm comparing myself with him). Very curly hair. During the first weeks to one month my hair felt very moist and "thick", and the curls became very defined. I guess my scalp was producing excess oil still. But not anymore. I was thinking if I should start using shampoo again, but I don't really see any reason. It used to make my hair more fluffy and too light and strange.
Are your ends getting oily too?
How long is your hair? Is that it's natural length or do you cut it?
Basically, supposedly the amount of naturalized oil production has to do with how long the hair naturally grows. Long hair gets drier at the ends than short hair, short hair may get oily at the ends, especially if it's natural length is significantly longer than its cut. Curly hair tends to keep the oils near the scalp, Straight hair tends to let the oils slide down the hair to coat it.
The oil is the hairs, natural protectant and conditioner, but it takes a lot of getting used to, especially if one tends to touch their hair a lot (me).
What I,ve read some people do is after a very warm water wash, they will spend time running their fingers along small chunks of hair from scalp to tip. The warmth makes the oil more fluid, and so this is to help spread the oil down where it's needed. Other people will use one of those boar bristle brushes to smooth the hair cuticles down, thus allowing the oils to flow to the tips more easily. (Using those brushes kinda suck if you have lots of hair, or really thick hair, or curly hair.)
Note, those methods are also used to help remove oils.
Some people with super oily scalp/hair even down to the tips will use baby powder sprinkled into dry (not wet) hair to soak up the oils, then brush them out. But this carries a risk of lightening the hair, as well as something that might look like dandruff if not brushed out well. (Especially if it's dark colored hair.)
Others try using microfiber smooth cloths to help rub some of the oil off or down the hair.
If you're referring to something other than the issues above, then would you describe it so we can help find possible solutions?

My daughter has super curly hair. And she doesn't like messing with it. The nopoo method would help her hair look great, defining the curls, reducing the frizz, protect it from the moisture in our environment. But, she's still in the rampant hormone stage which tends to carry changes in body odor. So I,m waiting until her body's hormones have settled some before I remind her of this method of hair care.
As for me, I recently had to go back to a full washing twice a week because of the gunk left by the neurofeedback therapy. Now I am back in the process of trying to get my hair and scalp normalized. Blagh. However, I liked how nopoo darkened my hair some, making my gray hairs look interesting rather than washing out my natural color to an ashy mouse look.

Yeah exactly. And "No poo is the shit". What a great slogan!
Yeah, nopoo can be a sensitive thing. It's almost considered uncivilized to not use shampoo. Now that's successful marketing by the industry. I like the fact that my hair doesn't smell of chemicals or parfume anymore, just the normal neutral smell of my skin. It looks good when curls are defined, but they got a little too defined in the beginning, now they are still a little more defined than before nopoo, but hair looks and feels natural.
I just want to get rid of all chemicals. I don't use deodorant anymore either. For my body I use some mild soap for sensitive skin, but that's all. And not every time I shower.As for me, I recently had to go back to a full washing twice a week because of the gunk left by the neurofeedback therapy.

I am a guy so I can confirm it works on our sex too.I'm definitely trying this, even as a guy.
Thumbs-up for the awesome post.
@Nowisthetime you still haven't answered.
@anndelise thanks. i read about those methods too but it's not so easy for me. my hair tends to clump into strands after a couple of days.
I thought I did in my previous post. You want exact numbers?

Do you like "Huey Lewis and the News"?
I use very little soap when I shower because I'm concerned about the environment and surfactants in water, or I use natural soaps like ones made of olive oil and other natural ingredients. I drink a lot of water

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE
