Natural Cold Remedy: Detoxifying Bath Soak | Beauty Bets March 4, 2011 The last few weeks it seems everyone has been hit with the horrible late-winter cold from hell: wheezing cough, runny nose and an aching body. After giving up on cough drops and sinus meds, I emailed my aunt, who is the director of Healing Hands Wellness Group. She insisted I try this simple DIY detox bath, and man was it effective: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Within 5 minutes of soaking in the tub, my body felt like it had turned into a faucet. Mod Mood Quilt Along | daintytime ~ Sherri Lynn Wood Ever since my fascination with mood rings when I was a kid in the 70′s, I’ve been drawn to the symbolic, cultural, and emotional aspects of color. When I came across this mood-color chart (replicated above in hand-dyed fabrics) a light bulb went off… I don’t know about you but I can be moody. So I decided to document my emotions this summer in a quilt. Once a week when I’m in the studio, I will take the time to check in on how I’m feeling. You are invited to craft-along with me and make your own Modern Mood Quilt. It’s never too late to join the quilt-along.

Recipe to Refresh: DIY, Natural Skin Care | Washington Post Express THE LONG, HARSH winter left us with much bigger problems than shoveling fatigue. We’re talking frizzy hair (ick), flaky skin (double ick) and scaly feet that clearly saw nothing but the inside of snow boots for months. But since a full body fix-up at Le Fancy Spa costs as much as the city’s snow removal deficit, we suggest you try more wallet-friendly measures to welcome spring. This guinea pig gamely tried out more than a dozen at-home spa treatments and ended up with a few favorites. BEER HAIR RINSE» Why It Works: The nutrients in hops add strength and shine to hair. » You’ve Been Warned: Don’t try this treatment before a big event — unless you want to smell like you work at the Big Hunt. » You’ll Need: - 1/4 cup water - 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar - 1/4 cup beer (a hoppier beer, like an IPA, is ideal) » What to Do: Mix together and use as a final rinse after conditioning, rinsing completely with warm water.

Minimalist Beauty Posted on July 23, 2010 by Dawn Michelle in DIY, Hair Curly hair can be very unpredictable, yet once you figure out the best way to manage your curls it can be so much fun. I have found that the products you use are only part of managing your curls.
Good Food Matters » Blog Archive » Home Remedy Today’s post is a bit of a departure. It is not focused on food or drink. There’s no stunning roast or plate of pasta. No cooling beverage. And yet, there is a recipe. An easy one, too, using four items found in most pantries: Apple Cider Vinegar, Honey, Ginger, and Cayenne… plus some water. And, so quick to put together, so beneficial, I had to share it with you. Combined, I learned from Maggie, that quartet of pantry ingredients creates a potent remedy to some of the ails of winter: Sore throat, hacking cough, tight congestion. Combined, they turn into a curious orange syrup that can cut through the croup. And, the taste is really good! Like you, we’ve been trying to duck the dreaded cold germs: wash our hands, eat well, get enough sleep, stay warm. I first mixed up a batch for Bill over the holidays, when he caught a cold accompanied by a strangling cough. So, last month, when I felt run down, tight with a tickle in the throat, I shook up a little Remedy. I thought so. Stay warm. Moreover,
» DIY: Blackhead Buster Face Mask KlairedeLys This mask I like for two things. One, for when your skin can’t seem to make it’s mind up on how it’s going to behave, and two, for clearing out spots brewing away under the surface of the skin. I like this one for regulating temperamental skin and attacking blackheads One down-side to this mask is that it can make dormant zits come to the surface. Technically that is a good thing, since it’s rubbish out of your skin, but obviously not everyone is going to appreciate that. If you want to avoid that possible outcome then just don’t use charcoal (or use less of it) since that’s what pulls the rubbish out, the other ingredients are all fantastic for the skin if they have the charcoal with them or not. Hope you like the tutorial :)

CogniFit™ Brain Fitness And Memory Programs, Brain Training &How-To: Newsprint Manicure & A Pretty Penny I saw this newsprint manicure over on The Daily Nail and thought it was adorable (especially for bookworms and word lovers like myself). I did a little Google detective work to see how to recreate it, and was surprised at how easy it is! All of the tutorials I found called for vodka or other clear distilled spirits, but we were fresh out. I used isopropyl alcohol instead, and it seemed to get the job done.
