GOT PUFFY EYES & You're not happy about it??! Let a TEABAG solve it…

May 21, 2013 By TheLifestylista

Here’s how… 🙂

1) Put 2 Green Tea tea bags in hot water for 3 minutes

2) Take the tea bags out and let them cool (to speed this up, put the tea bags in the fridge)

3) Put some relaxing music on and lie down.

4) Close your eyes and put the cool tea bags on your eyes.

5) Rest for 15 minutes. Breathe deeply, take your mind off your worries and smile girl. You’re doing something good for yourself!

***BLISS***

SWELLING: Your eye puffiness will be reduced because the caffeine in the tea constricts the blood vessels on the surface of your skin and so the swelling goes down.

SKIN TIGHTENING: Thanks to the the polyphenols in green tea (‘vegetable tannins’ which act as an astringent), the skin shrinks and tightens … It’s like a mini face-lift, rejuvenator…

I’m here dancing to that 90s tune… ‘This is how we do it!’

Try this Lifestylista tip to look better, feel better and you won’t be spending a whole load of $$$ either 🙂

I’m here rooting for you!

THE EASIEST WAY TO PEEL A BOILED EGG…
Put in a BOWL of cool or COLD WATER for about 60 seconds to stop the cooking AND to cause the shell to separate. Then peel the egg – it’ll be the easiest boiled egg you’ve ever peeled :-). Simple and effective!

NEED TO DRY YOUR NAIL POLISH SUPER QUICKLY..???

May 18, 2013 By TheLifestylista

Want to spruce up your finger nails BUT you’re leaving the house in 10 mins?

Here’s how to get it done:
1) Get a bowl and put cold water and ice cubes in it. Get it as cold as you can.
2) Put nail polish on your fingernails and let it air dry for 3 minutes.
3) Put your fingernails in the cold water for 2 1/2 – 5 mins (if you can stand it!)
4) Look at your fingernails – miracle… they are dry!

I hardly ever put on colored nail polish on my finger nails BUT when I do I want it to dry quickly!
Girl – I told you I was low maintenance 🙂
Have a great weekend! I’m here rooting for you.

GOT DRY, LIFELESS HAIR and want SOFT, SHINY, GORGEOUS HAIR? Check out this homemade deep conditioning mask…

May 17, 2013 By TheLifestylista

GOT DRY, LIFELESS HAIR but want SOFT, SHINY, GORGEOUS HAIR? Save money with this hydrating A-list, DIY Kitchen deep conditioner… It’s only ONE ingredient 😉

1) Peel a RIPE avocado (it MUST be ripe!) and get rid of the skin & the seed.
2) Get a bowl and use a fork to smash the avocado into a smooth pulp. Put the bowl to one side.
3) Get your hair totally wet, really let the water run til your hair is SOAKED! Then blot the extra moisture off to leave your hair damp.
4) Partition your hair into 6 sections and massage the wonderful mashed avocado pulp into each section – focus on the ends of your hair (usually drier and more thirsty for moisture!)
5) Put on a shower cap and leave on for up to an hour sitting in the sun OR if you have a dryer or heat cap use that (over your shower cap) for 30 mins.
6) Wash the avocado mask off your hair using cool or luke warm water.
7) Shampoo and condition your hair as you usually would. (If you can, try a sulphate-free shampoo).
8) Look at yourself in the mirror and smile. You’re beautiful!

WHY AVOCADO?
This tasty treat contains essential fatty acids and a cocktail of vitamins (Vit A, B Vitamins, Vit C, Vit D, Vit E) and minerals (inc potassium) which penetrate deep, deep into your hair follicles to moisturize, strengthen and improve your hair’s elasticity. The nutrients in the avocado hair mask also protect your hair and promote healthy growth.
Use this simple avocado hair mask to restore your hair’s natural shine and texture and save yourself some $$$ too.

Just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it’s stupid 😉

I’m here rooting for you!

GOT BAD BREATH and you're out on a date… Need to get rid of it PRONTO?

May 16, 2013 By TheLifestylista

GOT BAD BREATH and you need to get rid of it fast..?
Here’s a quick stop gap method you can use even when you’re out of the house… squeeze or suck on a lime or lemon and swill the juice around your mouth.

***The citric acid kills the stinky bad breath bacteria, leaving your mouth smelling clean and fresh!***
(Be sure to rinse with water after to get the citric acid off your teeth so it doesn’t erode your tooth enamel!)

No point having sexy clothes, great hair, sophisticated perfume if your mouth smells like an outhouse! LOL. Girl, I have so got your back and nobody else is going to tell you so remember this tip – when you need it, it’ll save your life 🙂

HOW TO CHECK IF YOU HAVE BAD BREATH
1) Lick the inside of your wrist, let it dry and smell it… If it doesn’t smell of anything – great. If it smells like a dinosaur’s behind, you know you’ve got a problem.
or
2) Cup your two hands over your mouth and nose and breath out fully… Smell air you breathed out… is it stinky or is it sweet?

I’m here rooting for you.
love
