10 Steps to Clear Skin With all of my product and lifestyle research throughout the years, I now know what keeps my skin clear and acne free. Here are some tips and products I have used that give results. Don’t pick! This is the first rule of thumb. Picking your skin, especially with bare, unwashed hands, will defeat the effects of any healing products or healthy lifestyle changes you may be doing. Picking your skin with bare hands may lead to small cuts and tears from your nails, and dirt is easily passed from your hands to your skin, thus creating breakouts. Remember, keep your skin clean, keep your hands away from your face, and use high quality, oil free, products. Be Sociable, Share!

Creating Vegan Meals That Are Balanced and Healthy Many people tell me they want to start a vegan diet, but creating vegan meals stumps them. I understand where they're coming from, after all, if you're used to making meals that center around meat and are covered in dairy, what do you serve if you take those away? What's chicken parmesan without the chicken or parmesan? But, I'm here to let you know that making vegan meals is easier than you think. The easiest way to put together a balanced vegan dinner is to picture a round plate and imagine that one half of it should be covered in vegetables, one quarter is whole grains, one quarter is beans or legumes, fruit is for dessert, and nuts, seeds, and healthy fats are adornments. Even if you're not having a specific whole grain with a vegetable and a bean, you can use the proportions when assembling your dish. Notice that a full half plate is dedicated to vegetables. The only vitamin that you can't easily get from plant based foods is vitamin B12. One quarter of the plate is whole grains.
8 hair care treatments you can make yourself Eggs, yogurt and honey are, at first glance, all components of a tasty breakfast — but they also happen to be hair treatment ingredients, and affordable, all-natural ones at that. And they're not the only ones. Did you know, for instance, that the oils in avocados more closely resemble our own skin's oils than any product in the beauty aisle does? Or that the mild acidity in lemon is an effective — and gentler — alternative to chemical-laden products? Next time your locks need a lift, save money by using one of these kitchen fixes. For all hair types "The [raw] egg is really the best of all worlds," says Janice Cox, author of "Natural Beauty at Home". To use: For normal hair, use the entire egg to condition hair; use egg whites only to treat oily hair; use egg yolks only to moisturize dry, brittle hair, Cox says. For dull hair To Use: Massage 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt into damp hair and let sit for 20 minutes. For itchy scalp For limp or fine hair For dry or sun-damaged hair
Pamper and Primp - StumbleUpon How To Get The High (Very French-Feeling) Bun Lately, it seems, we’ve been inundated with red carpet high buns—Charlize Theron loves ‘em, Rachel Bilson went high and tight recently, and SJP has sported the high bun for years.
