Long hair may seem simple to grow, but you may discover hair has a natural length that is genetically determined based on the growth cycle of follicles, and shape of the hair shaft.
Growing long hair is difficult but not impossible. The best method for growing long hair is by having lots and lots of patience. Hair grows an average of six inches per year, so in order to get waist-length hair it can take from four to seven years even with assiduous care. Treating the hair properly inside and out is critical for healthy hair. As hair gets longer, dull, limp strands are more noticeable than if you had short hair.
To begin growing out your hair, the hair must first be healthy. I know it’s frustrating for me when every time I visit my salon they snip the couple of inches I just grew out. One of London’s leading stylists, Michael Van Clarke, is hoping to remedy this with his new product line, 3 more inches (3MI). A haircare system as he describes designed to decrease hair’s aging process (those thinning ends) and thereby increase its length and thickness.

I read an interesting article written by Janelle Sorenson, in the May issue of Martha Stewarts publication of Body + Soul on what’s in the water flowing from our faucets.
Our waterways may not be as thick with oil and sludge as they were before the Clean Water Act was passed in the 1970’s, but today’s threats are more insidious, because they are invisible. The chemical traces of modern day consumption and convenience from pharmaceutical and personal care products to solvents, repellents, and more are now in our waterways. With hundreds of new chemicals created every year it’s impossible to know exactly what impact this will have on our planet.
Last November, the Environmental Working Group (EGW) released Read More »
Seems like everywhere you turn there are suggestions on how to get the best bikini body for the summer. Now that the summer is half over, question is how did you fair? Did you take any advice you read? I have to keep reminding mystelf to skip the sun and use sunless tanner instead. My favorite is Jergen’s Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer, it works well and you can find it just about anywhere. There are a few down sides, like the color darkens your age/sun spots and it has a bit of a strong smell, but those are small prices to pay to take the edge off the snow white glow that is my legs! I still have yet to try the Venus and Olay bikini kit, but it is another summer must have.
I’ve long admired those ladies who always seem to be full of energy and have it together. I for one am not one of those ladies, and though I may run around all day by the end of the day I am completely exhausted.
I always hear from women everywhere how they feel fatigued and unmotivated and how they just don’t have the energy that they once had. Now, I’ve also heard that it’s possible to increase your energy in a number of natural ways.
You first should start off with a regular sleep schedule, this will help to increase morning energy naturally. Whether your body requires seven, or eight hours of sleep try to go to bed at the same time every night. Before long you won’t require an alarm clock to wake you.
Another way to shake off morning grogginess, is to sprinkle a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil on the floor of your shower. Shower yourself in steaming hot water and use a loofah or a nubby washcloth. The eucalyptus scent stimulates your brain, the hot water and rubdown helps speed blood flow sending oxygen to your cells where it’s transformed into energy. Read More »

You know you love to thumb through magazines while standing in the checkout line, so were you devastated at the thought of magazines and newspapers going away when the internet came along? I really didn’t believe that would happen, but I did think the number of sales would decline. Contrary to popular misperception, and mine, the phenomenal internet has not come at the expense of magazines. Just as the internet drives magazine subscriptions, magazines drive Web searches. According to The Power of Print it turns out that “the medium that some predicted would vanquish magazines is actually helping fuel their growth!” Check out these interesting statistics.
One of my favorite gifts to give is that of a magazine subscription. How perfect, the gift that keeps on giving all year long! For thank you’s, birthday’s and teacher gifts you are saying, “I want you to take some time for yourself, put your feet up and relax.” One of the best ways to do this, and still stay within your budget, is to collect Coke Reward points. Collect bottle caps and box tops from your favorite Coca-Cola products and enter them online at www.mycokerewards.com for an easy way to start earning your way to your next gift of appreciation!
Now honestly, wouldn’t you rather read a magazine at the beach or by the pool than your iPad?
