My no-poo haircare part 2 - HOW and WHAT?

  It has been only 3 1/2 weeks for my no chemical haircare and I have to say I am loving it! My hair does not get dirty or greasy as fast as they used to. My hair ends are not so dry and split ends- what split ends!? I am so happy that I started this. Ofcourse, there were a few times when I just wanted to go and wash my hair with the products I used to use and just leave this experiment. But I am so happy, that I didnt.


My shampoo

1. What do I use?

1 egg, 2 teaspoons of hand warm water

There are so many ways of washing your hair, but right now it feels like this is the best for me. 

The second alternative, that I used after putting raw coconut oil on my hair and my hair was really greasy afterwards is  :

1 egg, hand warm water, 1 teaspoon of baking soda and half a teaspoon of apple vinegar.

This mix is a bit drying, thats why I only am going to use it on the times I have used some kind of hairmask, to wash the oil out.


2. How?

I just mix these ingredients together with , It is important that the eggs white and yellow part is mixed together. For doing this I use the tupperware happy chopper.

Please do not wash your hair with too warm/hot water. You don´t want to end with a boiled egg on your hair.




Next time (17.01.14) there will be a big hairmask post. So wait for it!

What do wear to a job interview? Pictures!

   I am going to a work interview this thursday and I have been thinking about this subject a lot. I have written down some main points and looked for some pictures, that should help me with my choice. So here they are:

1.  What kind of work am I applying for? The clothes should give a little hint to the interviewer about the clothes you are going to wear while working.
   -I am applying a job to a sports and health centre, so I am not going to be wearing a suit to the interview.
2. How are you going to the interview? Well I am going to walk there (about 3 km) so I am not wearing any high heels, something comfy and simple looking will be good.
3. Do not try to be someone else. The person interviewing you wants to know as much about you, as possible. So express your personality, but do not go too wild with it.
4. Don´t forget the basic NO´s - No for too much cleavage, no for too short skirts, no for showing your tummy, no for dirty clothes, no for too much perfume, no for too much bright colours (including make up-you don´t need to wear a mask).
5. Feel good in your clothes. Being interviewed for a job is tense enough. You don´t need any more distractions or worries.
   
   Good luck
   
    Now some pictures as I promised :

18 DIY nail art ideas !!

  Well this is a DIY that i do not have my own pictures of, just because I have nail extentions. But I used to do my nails, so I am going to post some of my old (and NEW) favourites, that are easy to do and look really pretty.

Good luck!

I think these feather ideas are super cute!

 Cute little owl! This brown is a cool autumn colour in my opinion. :)

 My all time favourete. Nude tone nails with some pearls, glitter or tiny diamond drops. Goes with all types of clothing and makes your fingers look longer and slimmer. :)

 Fabulous !

 Need some new nailcolour? Why not create one?  Easy and cool way to mix and match!

 All you vampirediaries fans out there, Isnt this the coolest?

 Looks like you have really made an effort but still is so easy to do ! Love this for a summer party!

 Plain pink nails look always cute and girly! Want to make it more fab? Add some pearls!

 You can do this with any newspaper, cut out pictures that you like or words.

 These nails scream for SUMMER!




And give me cravings for a snack of watermelon...

Something more artistic and cute!

 Found it from Weheartit and the author had written down that these nails are inspired from Marck Jacobs! So cute! I am truly a lover of beige colours .

 Aaand owls again. But these look a lot more summerish

 You just have to love pandas! This cute little fella would look awesome on your nails!

Handsome!










                                                                   
And finally red nails- they look always just beautiful! A true Femme Fatale look!

How to whiten your teeth with baking soda?

   There is really no magic about it. I have used the baking soda-strawberry mix in the summer, but now i am doing just baking soda with water. It goes like this:

Take a spoonful of baking soda, and add some water. The mixture should look like a toothpaste, just a little bit more liquit -not alot. Btw It tastes pretty bad! Really bad. But still- worth it, it gently removes stains from coffee and cigarettes (ha, I dont drink coffee or smoke). And then- wash your teeth with it. After washing your teeth,rinse and gently wash it over with your normal toothpaste.

Easy as this. You will see some changes soon I allready see them from my teeth!

PS! Please, do not rub too hard (dont use electrical toothbrush) or wash too long, it can make your teeth sensitive. Also, do not use this every day. People who have used it recomend to do it every other day for two weeks, then stop it for a while. I did it in the summer (July) and then stopped, and now in January I am doing this procedure again.


Good luck,

Xoxo
