Tea Tree Oil does have a very strong smell, almost like a pine-scented cleaner. Honey and cinnamon cures - do they really work? Here's what you need to know (NaturalNews) Hopeful newcomers to holistic health marvel at reports about honey and cinnamon as a miracle cure-all. On the other hand, alternative health skeptics scoff at the notion of cinnamon and honey as medicine, pointing out that the plethora of articles about the curative benefits of this food duo originated with a 1995 article in the tabloid newspaper Weekly World News. The truth is that cinnamon and honey have been used to promote health for centuries, but their efficacy depends largely on a lifestyle of energetic activity and whole foods.In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), cinnamon is viewed as possessing heat or yang, and is thus used to cure ills stemming from excess yin or coldness. Honey, in this system, is viewed as a neutral substance, balanced between yin and yang. Honey possesses natural anti-bacterial properties. Drinking honey and cinnamon in lukewarm water results in them moving through the bladder and cleansing it, as well as clearing infections there.

It's easy, cheap, 100% natural and good for your lips, especially this time of year. Ingredients 1/2 oz.

DIY Laundry Detergent! Save BIG &Have Fresh, Clean Laundry! | Well, I did it! I have pinned various recipes for homemade laundry detergent for months, now, thinking that soon I would gather the exotic ingredients and muster the courage to make some. I should have paid a lot more attention to those recipes I was pinning. There is nothing exotic about the ingredients, nor is it difficult. I’m actually mourning a little bit, for all the money I have wasted over the years, just not realizing I could do this quickly and simply. Two weeks ago, I sat down to earnestly study all the pins I have for DIY laundry detergent. Once I actually stopped to look at the details, I was shocked. My own DIY brand! The one thing that they all had in common was that they make gigantic batches – 10 to 12 gallons, at a time. Why would I bother to make laundry detergent when I could just conveniently grab a bottle off the shelf at the store? These ingredients are easy to find and very inexpensive! Still need a list of reasons to try this? 20¼¢!! Ingredients Instructions Notes:

Turn your NAUGHTY HAIR day into a KNOTTY HAIR day! Someone sent me a picture of a "double knotted" hair do from the Michael Kors Runway show to try to "Kandee-fy" it..... NO TIME for hair-hair-do...you just need to "hairy up"? this look took me about a minute to do..it's awesome! Super cute, no fuss, and doesn't look like you have a "prom up-do"..ha ha ha (easy peesy) some mousse bobby pins a little hair spray for wild hairs and ofcourse your hair what the hair?!? Actually without the bobby pins holding it in place..the hair just wants to slip out of the knot. what if I have too much hair? your knot will just look cooler because the loops will be bigger. I just have like 48 hairs on my head, so it looks super thin and the knot isn't as prominent as it could be. Now let's go have a "knotty" good time with our hair.... I'm waiting for you in this video... hair knots...your Kandee Bo-Rubber-Bandy or this case bobby pinny!

Things that make me smile... TIPPED OUT all photos: Kristin Ess + thebeautydepartment.com post designed by kristin ess Lots of emails this week asking for a tutorial on Lauren’s temporary bright colors. Here I’ve replicated the process for you in 7 steps on an extension. TOOLS: highlighting comb, clips, foils, color brush, hair bleach with the appropriate volume (always seek a professional when using bleach), light pink color, dark pink color, light blue, dark blue, clear gloss. Step 1 Highlight the tips of the hair using hair bleach with the correct volume. Step 2 Fold up your foil and let it process until it reaches a pale blonde. Step 3 Shampoo and lightly condition bleach out of the hair. Step 4 Blow hair completely dry. Step 5 Place the hair on a foil. Step 6 Next, paint the light blue (or whatever color you choose) on the entire bottom 2/3. Step 7 Paint the very tips (or bottom 1/3) using the darker version of that color. This is such a fun summer trend and I hope everyone finds their own fun way of doing it.
