Mayonnaise Hair Treatment

Straightening and coloring simultaneously tortures our hair, like a lot. I made this mistake and has been left with dry hair for years. *crying* I've tried salon treatments to revive my brittle hair and they were okay but it's not budget friendly. *crying again* That's when I started to look for cheaper alternatives and the more natural, the better.

In this age when spas and expensive treatments rule the hair care industry, mayonnaise hair treatment is not only inexpensive but natural and safe too. Mayonnaise contains oils, eggs and other ingredients that nourish the hair. If your goal is softer, shinier, smoother feeling hair then mayonnaise might be a good match for you. Besides, Cameron Diaz swears by this.

How to make a Mayonnaise Hair Treatment:

1. Choose a regular, full-fat mayonnaise because it has all the ingredients that nourish your hair and make it soft plus silky. Avoid mayonnaise that contain extra flavoring of herbs and spices because it may do more harm than good to your hair. If you can, go for an all-natural, organic mayonnaise because this type typically contains olive oil. It's available in any grocery store.

2. Use approximately 1/2 cup of mayo, more or less depending on the length of your hair. Don't use more than needed because it might be difficult to wash it all out. Apply mayonnaise to freshly cleansed, damp hair as you would with any conditioner. Focus on the ends since it's the oldest part of the hair. Avoid the roots if you have thin or fine hair (like myself). You may want to use a wide-tooth comb to evenly distribute the mayo onto your hair. 

3. Let the mayo sit from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on how much conditioning your hair needs or how much time that you have. I like to leave it overnight and wash it the following morning. Use a shower cap or any plastic bag to cover your hair; this will trap your body heat against your head and help the mayonnaise to get its work done of deep conditioning your hair.  

4. Remove the cover and rinse your hair with warm water and a gentle shampoo (I use a baby shampoo). If you feel that there's still some residue, you can cleanse again. Your hair should feel soft, not oily. 

5. You can do this once a week or once a month. It all depends, again, on how much deep conditioning your hair needs. 

No matter how healthy your hair is, we all need some timely caring and pampering for it.

How To Be Organized...When You're Not

Credit: Google

I struggled with disorganization growing up and when I was finally a bit matured, I felt tired of it. I had appointments that I forgot, tasks undone and I was all over the place. It was embarrassing! So, one day, I hopped on the computer and researched about how to be organized. Ahhhhhhh the wonders of the Internet! Little by little, I incorporated tips that I found fit for my lifestyle and now I'm sharing them with you.

Have a planner. A planner is especially useful if you have a lot of appointments and your days are varied that you have trouble keeping track of your schedule. I started making use of a planner about two years ago and it was one of the best decisions I've made. Whenever an appointment has been set, I immediately write it on my planner. Yes, I bring it around with me. It has saved me from disappointed family and friends because I forgot to show up in their invitations, added some money in my stash for doing something, made me feel in control of what's going on in my life etc. It's every mom, dad, professional, student, business owner's best friend!

My 2016 Planner. Bought from National Bookstore for 250php

It's simple. It also has an extra page to write notes on.

A little side note, I have been gifting myself with a planner every Christmas since I started using it. :)

Make a To Do list. To Do lists are writing down little things that you need to do during the day. It could be things like laundry, take the dogs out for a walk, cook Adobo for dinner. Try to keep the items small in number to avoid overwhelming yourself. Make one or two items as things that you must absolutely do that day, and pursue those tasks relentlessly until you get them done. Once you finish doing an item, cross it off your list and watch yourself feel proud of accomplishing something. 

Setting a time frame. Having this is a good way to keep you from procrastination. Organized people don't waste time, they recognize that keeping things organized goes hand in hand with staying productive. 

Keep a notepad with you. ALL. THE. TIME. I always carry with me a notepad where I can jot down all my 'cluttered' ideas on something, especially those that I'm working on. I say 'cluttered' because I don't sift them through, I just immediately write them down as I get them. When I'm not busy that day, I whip out my notepad and analyze those ideas. This is especially helpful for someone whose career is on the creative industry. 

Have a home for everything. It's easy to get lost if you don't have a home. Have organizers that you can purchase pretty much from any department store. You can have bins for your accessories, medicines, undergarments etc. 

Label...label...label... In connection to having a home for everything, label them! It'll save you the time and hassle trying to figure out all the bins because you don't know which ones are for the toys,shoes or socks. 

Declutter regularly. Practice the habit of putting stuff back to its proper place after using them. Find time each week or month to organize. Personally, I assess as to whether there's a need for me to declutter that week or not; if it's the latter, I can usually get away with a monthly decluttering. Find what works for you.

Delegate responsibilities. I hate to break it to you but we can't just do everything on our own. Well, it is heroic and astonishing if we could but we can't. A really organized life is not overfilled with responsibilities, meetings and deadlines. Learn to trust people with critical tasks in all areas of your life. Make sure that the person you appoint to do the task has all the necessary tools to do it. 

Combine similar activities. Make all your phone calls at one time. Do all your errands at the same day. Pay all your bills at the same time. Do all shopping at one trip. Saves you time and energy!

Discipline. All the tips mentioned above are nothing without discipline. When you designate a task, follow through with it. Self-discipline does not mean being harsh toward yourself , or having a limited, restrictive lifestyle. It means self control---which is a sign of inner strength because you're able to control your actions, your reactions and yourself. 

Start flexing your decision muscles with little things, and you'll soon find yourself more confident about taking action on stuff around your home, your school, your office, your business.

REVIEW: Naturacentials Deep Cleansing & Whitening Bar

If there's one soap that I religiously use it's the Naturacentials Deep Cleansing & Whitening Bar; I've used this for a year now and that alone would tell you how its performance is for me.

So do I need to write a review? My intro is already a strong statement.  Haha! :)

Kidding aside, of course I will write this review because I want my lovely readers to know more about why I got hooked with this soap.

Naturacentials Deep Cleansing & Whitening Bar is a product of Alliance in Motion Global or more commonly known as "Aim Global"--- one of the top Multi-Level Marketing companies in the Philippines.

CLAIMS:

Credit: Google

PACKAGING:

The bar soap is enveloped with a thin white paper and placed inside a box. 

SCENT:

None 

SIZE: 

4.76 OZ

PRICE:

170php (Selling Price)

WHERE I BOUGHT: 

Business Center Office Iloilo but you can buy from any distributor in your area. 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

I use this for both my face and body since it's an all-natural ingredients soap. Apply as you would of any soap.

The black side is the Bamboo Charcoal; the orange side is the Lumin8 Derma Complex

WHAT I LIKE:

• Honestly, I got hooked because of the cooling effect of this soap. It has Peppermint as an active ingredient and it just makes my bathing experience awesome (given the usual hot & humid temperature in the Philippines)! 
• All-natural ingredients; it's nice to shy away from exposing my body to chemicals.
• I don't see any sign of skin ageing. 
• I don't sweat as much since using this soap, not unless I do a rigorous physical activity. 
• One bar soap lasts me more than a month of usage. 
• It's more affordable compared to soaps from other MLM companies in the Philippines.

WHAT I DON'T LIKE:

• I actually don't consider this as something that I don't like but I'm not sure if I also like it, does that makes sense? Well, here it is. I don't see a noticeable whitening to my already fair skin. Now with this, my honest opinion is that, this product gives a remarkable result when it comes to whitening if you're not fair-skinned prior to using the soap. 

MY RATING: 9/10

DISCLAIMER: 

I am an Alliance In Motion Global distributor but the opinions expressed in this review are all honest-to-goodness. One of the reasons that I joined this company is because I was able to try this soap and I instantly fell in love with it!
