5 Tips to prevent hair loss

By the age of 35, nearly 40% of men suffer from hair loss, especially in England-where the number has increased drastically in the past few years. It has been said that around 60% of hair loss suffers would rather have hair than friends or money but not sure how true that is. However, what is true and a fact is that hair loss is permanent and that after is gone there’s nothing you can do make your hair grow again. I believe is better to prevent than cure! and that applies perfectly on hair loss. Would you rather prevent it happen or cry your eyes off wondering why your hair is falling and no shampoo or hair product can prevent that from happening. I have brought together 5 awesome natural tips you can apply in order to prevent hair loss.

5 Natural Tips to Prevent Hair Loss

1-Warm Oil Treatment- Warm oil works perfectly not only for hair loss problems but dandruff also. Heat up natural oil (olive, coconut canola) until it gets warm (make sure is not hot) and gently massage your scalp with it. Do this twice a week and your hair will be shinny and healthy forever.

2-Garlic/Onion or Ginger Juice-Choose any of these product juice and apply it on your scalp, leave it overnight and than wash it off.

3-Get a head massage- Massaging your scalp regularly will help stimulate circulation which keeps the hair follicles active -which means no hair loss.

4-Antioxidants- Green tea is the best antioxidant you can try. It makes your hair grow longer and prevents hair loss. Rinse your hair with green tea and leave it there for about an hour and than wash it off.

5- Practice meditation-Stress is the number one enemy of hair. If you feel stressed and depressed try to see the good things in life; no matter how bad things might be at the moment, remember nothing lasts forever-every good or bad moment has an ending. Tomorrow is promised to know, smile and move on. Your health and hair are more important than the problem.

Make Mascara Last 3X Longer from drying!

Most of mascara’s dry out before finishing, and that’s why I always know that no matter how often I use mascara, I will never be able to finish a whole bottle till the end before throwing it away. But that has totally changed since I found out that I can now make the dry mascara into liquid again with only few drops of saline solution or better saying eye drops. Whenever you see that your mascara has start getting dry, simply add 3-4 eye drops in it and you will see how it will turn into liquid again. This is the best, most effective and low cost way to save money on mascaras. I always like buying good brands when it comes to makeup, and mascara in particular because buying cheap ones will not only damage your eyelashes but will make your eyes sensitive and even lead to eye infections.

This is an awesome idea that totally works. Give it a try and you will see what I am talking about. Keep your makeup fresh and watch out from bacteria’s. I would recommend for you to wash the mascara brush every two week in order to keep it free from bacteria.

DIY Scattered Powder Fix

Blushes, dry powders, even eye shadow can fall down your hand and smash into pieces! But that can really affect the way you apply it and most of the time it is impossible to hold it in your hand without having pieces fall on the floor; that’s why we often throw them away and purchase new ones but not everyone can afford buying a new one simply because it is broken into pieces. I am about to show you a great and effective way on how to restore a shattered compact. It is very easy and doesn't require much time. Start by covering it with a plastic bag. then make sure to make it smooth by fixing all the areas with a metallic stick or anything you can find. After doing so, take off the plastic bag. and add some drops of alcohol into the compact. Smooth it over with a small brush and then let it dry. The alcohol will dry very fast and you will have your shattered compact back as new! It’s like it never happened! I just wish I could have found this method before throwing so many blushes and dry powders away.

As about the alcohol there is nothing to worry. It dries completely and will not affect your skin. It is very easy to do and I think we should all try this and stop worrying about our broken compacts. Have fun doing it!

Super fast & incredibly soft feet!

Feet are the last part of our body we care about. We always ignore them & don't really take care of them as much as we do for our face & hands. We also want fast results without much efforts so here is something I got for you guyz.

My friend has unbelievably soft feet, like crazy soft! They feel like soft hands! The other day I asked her secret & give me tips on softer feet. I was expecting a long list of products & tiring routine but boy was I surprised! Her tips?

She washes her feet every night with some warm water then lotions them. Seems too easy, doesn’t it? I needed proof! So I started exactly what she told me, I have been washing my feet with warm water every night& lotioning them up before bed. To my surprise, they have gotten super soft, super fast!

Ok, I am convinced, this really works! This is very easy way to get those baby soft feet that we all want. But we don’t want a long & hard routine to get them, then its your must try simple, easy & fast results oriented.

Pond's Flawless White BB+ Cream

BB Cream is an all in one product designed to make life easier, so instead of applying 3 or 4 products on the face which each having its own benefit you can apply one. Over the past two years I’ve tried many BB Cream brands trying to find one which has all the properties I’m looking for. Many I’ve tried have been either the wrong color, too sticky or drying to the skin, expensive or have a strong scent. Some of them didn’t suit my skin type made it really oily & greasy. Some of them had bad affects like breakouts & pimples on my skin.

I’m not a foundation & heavy base person either day or night. After spending a lot & struggling through all this I finally got what I was looking for. A perfect BB cream for light coverage & effortless natural look with whitening ingredients. New to the Pond’s family is their first ever BB+ Cream. Pond’s Flawless White BB+ Cream is one of the best BB Creams I’ve tried. It has a lightweight natural coverage, doesn’t have a strong scent and is hydrating to the skin. It’s active ingredient is the patented GenActiv, a formula that has been clinically proven to significantly brighten skin color and diminish dark spots in 7 days.

I was so curious to try it out after being informed about its launch. As I was also using Ponds Flawless White facial foam; which really worked for my skin. Every week I was looking in different markets & pharmacies. Finally, I got my hands on Pond’s BB Cream & tried it the very next morning. The results were marvelous I instantly fell in love with the color. It gave me a healthy glow & evened skin tone reducing the blemish & my dark circles. I had it on my skin for like 12 hours & it didn’t fade away. It didn’t make my skin greasy, dull or oily instead gave it a matte finish which I loved the most about this product.

It comes in two colors light and medium which would suit fair to olive complexions. The texture is thin similar to a lotion. It has a lightweight feeling on the skin and isn’t heavy or sticky.

Pond’s Flawless White BB+ Cream has a very natural finish. It kind of melts into the skin giving coverage but at the same time allowing the natural skin to come through. If you need more coverage in certain areas, use a creamy concealer on top and then set it with a light powder. Long-wearing, especially if you set it with a powder on top.

What I liked

· It has an SPF 30, so I don’t really have to use any other sun product.

· Its non-greasy finish

· Shades availability

· Affordable

· Whitening ingredients

What I didnt like

· The size which is only 25gms.

Final Verdict

I love love love this BB Cream, overall my skin looked brighter after using it regularly. It’s perfect to use for the day since it has a natural lightweight coverage. I will really recommend this to the people with combination skin type.

Available: All superstores & pharmacies

Price: 34 SAR

9 effective weight loss tips

Hello beauties!

Everyone wants to look smart & they have right too. These days everyone wants to look great. But most of us have extra pounds which we want to get rid of. Even I’m always looking for tips & ways to get rid of extra weight. There is no short cut to lose weight as it took time to gain it. We have to work & be patient about the results. You will definitely see the difference but not the very next morning.

Be realistic & make these your habit. You’ll see great difference without doing much or starving yourself. Trust me I use to read all this & just ignore them but this time I tried & Voila! I saw great results.

1. Drink water:

Drink a lot of water. Literally a lot of it. Water hydrates your body, helps in digestion & reduces cellulite. Also it helps you getting clear skin. Make it your habit, avoid carbonated drinks, beverages & even fruit juices instead drink water. Drinking water also improves your metabolic rate which results in fast weight loss. A natural regime for losing weight.

2.Grape fruit:

Grapefruit is high in enzymes that burn fats, has high water content and has less sodium. A combination of these three characteristics makes grapefruit a perfect food for increasing your body’s metabolism. Try eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice every day and you will notice how quickly you lose those extra pounds. Make it a habit & eat 1 grape fruit a day.

3. Portion control:

Go for French diet & limit your portions. Divide your daily 3 meals into 5 or 6 small portions. Small portion intake fastens the digestions. If you did nothing else but reduce your portions by 10%-20%, you would lose weight. Most of the portions served both in restaurants and at home are bigger than you need. Pull out the measuring cups to get a handle on your usual portion sizes, and work on paring them down. Get instant portion control by using small bowls, plates, and cups. This seriously works without starving yourself or eating all those low-carb, low-fats & bad taste food.

4. Eat mindful:

While eating, avoid indulging in any other activity. Keep your mind present & concentrate on eating. Chew & eat slowly. This helps your mental appetite to be fulfilled & satisfies your hunger as well. If you will eat while reading a book or watching TV you will consume more calories. Follow the rule “Table, Chair & Plate”. Just put your food in a plate, sit & eat it peacefully.

5. Be honest atleast to yourself:

List down everything you eat & you’ll find where you are consuming those extra calories. Just picked up some M&M’s, had a glass of juice, eat some popcorns from your bro’s pack. Still u consumed those calories without even noticing. So write down each & everything on a piece of paper or make a diary & write whatever you eat or drink.

6. Set some SMART goals:

Make a promise with yourself that you’ll be more active. That you will try to take out some time out of your busy routine for work out. Today you walked for 15 mins, next week you’ll walk for 30 mins. Take stairs instead of elevators & escalators. If you want to achieve you have to put efforts & everyone can easily take out atleast 30 mins just for themselves.

7. Eat more veges & fruits:

Try eating more raw vegetables & fruits as they are low in calories & high in benefits. They are full of vital vitamins & minerals, good quantity of water to fulfill your desire & helps reducing weight. They also help in food digestion, gives energy, controlling blood pressure & improve your skin.

8. Switch to lighter alternatives:

Instead of going for full cream try choosing low fats & low-carbs food. Instead of juices try eating fruits to get enough fiber. Use salsa & hummus in sandwiches rather than cheese spreads & mayonnaise. Eat sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes. Use skin milk in your coffee instead of cream. Use lemon dressing on salads rather than heavy oily ones.

9. Green tea:

It increases you metabolism & helps you burn more calories with. It also controls the cholesterol level & has more health benefits. Drinking green tea will never show you immediate results, it will take few weeks. I started drinking 2 cups of green tea in a day without any dieting or doing work out. I was amazed when I did my weight check; I lost almost 3kgs while sitting in office & doing nothing in 2-3 months. You can add sugar, honey or lemon as per to your taste.

The key is “Eat healthy & stay healthy!”

Never starve yourself; it can result opposite in weight gain. These are easy tips which you just have to adopt & implement. Try sticking to them, but it never means you can’t eat your favorite. If you eat healthy food 6 days a week you can cheat a little on your weekends or special occasions. Avoid rice & sugar intake. You will definitely get good & effective results.

I hope this post will help. What are your health or weight loss essentials? Share your habits & tips useful for losing weight.
