skin care

basically the first step to better skin is drink water. i know you have heard this 1000 timed but i'll say it again you need!!! water! it dosn't mater how expencive the acne and spot treatments are if you don't drink water your skin will never clear up.

you should buy a good face cleanser organic is best because there are less chemicals.Use a dime-sized bit of cleanser, then rinse with cool or lukewarm water. You'll also want to take off your makeup with a proper makeup remover.

exfoliating skin once a week with a microdermabrasion kit keeps skin glowing year-round. Make sure you use a gentle scrub with tiny grains. Big grains in cheap scrubs can tear skin and cause more harm than good. to make a scrub you can get
Honey, Lemon, and Cornmeal that can be found at any grocery store. The medium size bowl will do just fine for mixing these ingredients together.Place 1 cup of cornmeal into the mixing bowl. Squeeze 1 lemon into the mixing bowl. Use the pulp of the lemon as well by spooning out the lemon but discard of the seeds. Squeeze or pour as much honey as it takes to make a creamy texture. Stir. The mixture is now ready to be used or refrigerated.
While in the shower or bath after skin is moistened, gently begin to exfoliate your skin in a circular motion. When cleansing the face keep your eyes closed. Gently scrub the face and neck with the mixture for about 1 minute. Rinse well, especially the eye area. You should notice a definite change in texture in about 3 days, as well as everyone else.This mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks in an airtight container

you must moistrize the skin after you have washed it this is a important step for skin care

ultimate organic therapy tea tree stimulating growth oil


today i purchased ultimate organic therapy tea tree stimulating growth oil. i didn't plan on buying this product but i was in the hair shop looking for somthing else and instead i found a bargin, it was only £1.89 so i purchased it because the price was good for what the product claims it does.so the product claims that it will moistrize the scalp and is an all purpose growth oil help relive dry, itchy,flaky scalp and moistrizes extremely dry and brittle hair. when i read the product i thought it sounded really good. and even if it dosn't work its only cheap. i've see a simular type of oil in the other shops and it costs £6.50 if i buy that and it dosn't work then ive waste more money so thats why i decided to buy the ultimate organic therapy tea tree stimulating growth oil because most growth oils cost more.

what i like about this product is tha packaging the bottle is small and light so its easy to hold in your hand without being to heavy or slippy. there is a needle nose applicator at the top this is good because it will make the applicating to the scalp easier. when the product is finnished i plan on recycling the bottle and putting my own mix of olive oil and castor oil.

how to make skinny jeans & update



this is my newest video! update my birthday on the 29th october, and im starting a challenge im not going to buy no clothes until the 1 of december, to recycle clothes. so this is the first video of my series of recycling clothes you don't need to buy clothes every month. genrally i find my self buying clothes that i could just easily make. so this is why i desided to do this challenge. and i hope you all follow me and join the challenge too make the world a little bit greener.

fashion leaves a pollution footprint, with each step of the clothing life cycle generating potential environmental hazards. For example, polyester, the most widely used manufactured fiber, is made from petroleum. The manufacture of polyester and other synthetic fabrics is an energy-intensive process requiring large amounts of crude oil and releasing emissions acid gases which can cause disease. the waste products of polyester production are put in the water. many textile manufacturing facilities have hazardous waste generators. Much of the cotton produced in the United States is exported to China and other countries with low labor costs, where the material is milled, woven into fabrics, cut, and clothes are made. China is the largest exporter of fast fashion, this means some Chinese workers make as little as 12–18 cents per hour working in poor conditions. And with the fierce global competition that demands ever lower production costs, many clothe companies are lowering clothes prices, even if it means lower wages and poor conditions for workers.
spread the love for handmade clothing and d.i.y clothing its mor eco friendly.

how to make a handmade clothing store

this is probably one of my most asked questions every month someone messages me about this and i tell them the same thing so i think I'll share this with every one who cares to read my blog. the first step to making your own clothing store is to set goals. ask your sell what do you want to achieve and start from there. take Baby steps. If you don't know how to sew, then that should be number one on your list of smaller goals.Be realistic when you're thinking about starting your own clothing business. If you think you're going to make a load of cash selling your clothes, or you think you're going to be an instant success, you're probably going to be incredibly disappointed. when i first started i thought i was going to be a big success but only got about 1 customer a month it takes about a year or two for your website to get well known then you get regular customers.

so probably if your reading this you already know how to sew (the first paragraph was aimed at beginners) are you ready to start selling? Before you can start making cash, you need to know what you're going to sell and who you plan on selling it to. In my opinion, the best and easiest way to be a successful designer is to find a small, specific group of people to sell to, the group of people sell to are people who like cute and girly things like what my store is aimed at. Find what makes your style unique and start there. my clothing is based on my style i love looking cute and girly so the clothes i sell should look cute and girly it shouldn't be punk or sports wear because that's not my style. pick the style that suits you.

now you know your audience time to sell!Take a look around the etsy and do some research. What sells and for how much? Where can you get deals on supplies? places you can sell on Etsy, make your own website , wholesale and ebay (but ebay is not a good idea). for a free option you can choose weebly to make a free website but you will need to promote it lots more because people will find it less eaisly. on etsy people are looking to buy handmade.

pricing the clothes this is the maths bit you need to make profit!!! to make a top i used 1 a yard of the main fabric (£4.00),2 yards of lace (£2.50) ,1 yard of elastic (£1.00) so over all i spent £7.50 to make it. now you need to pay your self a hourly wage minmum wage is £5.50 a hour i spent 2 hours to make this top so it is 5.50 x 2 = £11 so you earn £11 for making it. so the over all price of the top is matirals spent + wage = price
so the top costs £18.50.

photos are everything when it comes to selling online because the buyer can't actually touch or see the item so they have to rely on the photo so you have to make sure its a good photo. One of the most important things you need to know about digital photography is to control the flash. Personally, I hate to rely on the automatic flash that comes with the digital camera. Depending on the situation, you need to switch off or switch on the flash. if you taking photos of clothes its good to have a model and take the photos outside in the natural lighting. (i just use myself as a model get my tripod and use the self timer) I recommend this tip to all budding photographers - camera tripods are an essential tool in your photography arsenal. When will you need a tripod? Well, it's useful if you're taking shots under low-light conditions or trying to capture fast moving objects. I like to use a tripod when taking night shots city streets, for example. Always try to look for a tripod that's convenient to carry around. For personal use, you don't need a huge one - just a simple compact one that's easy to pack.

now finally the clothes are made the shops ready now the packaging. packaging is so important its what makes buying handmade special! your packaging doesn't need to be expensive but it needs to stand out and make the customer want to buy from you again for example making your own clothing tags from card and wrapping your items in magazine paper instead of boring brown. How much time and effort you want to put into your packaging is totally up to you. You can quickly create simple stylish packaging or spend more time creating something totally customized to your business. Another easy option for hang tags is to take your business cards, punch a hole in it, and add a piece of ribbon or string.

hair breakage

The most common treatments for hair breakage are conditioning treatments. There are many moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, and reconstructing or protein conditioners on the market today to help with hair breakage. Just this fact shows that you are not alone in your struggle!Using moisturizing conditioners and deep conditioners are pretty simple.



However, I advise you to be careful when using any type of strong reconstructing conditioner on your hair. These formulations can be very strong in protein and could cause more harm than good. In addition to using special conditioning treatments, you should combine this with the utmost hair care.

Special Hair Care
While I say "special" hair care, I mostly mean things that you should already be doing to your hair anyway! If you're suffering from severe hair breakage, you should treat your hair with extra special care. Eliminate heat, eliminate brushing, and reduce manipulation. The less you're messing with your hair, the less opportunity there is for it to break.



Additionally, you should only use a wide-tooth comb on your hair and make sure to detangle with care. If you're treating your hair with conditioners and handling it with special care and still feel that it is not working, cutting off the damage may be your only option.




Cut if Off
You've either made the choice to cut off your damaged hair or the extra treatment is just not working and it's now your only choice. Whatever the reason, cutting off your damaged hair will give you a fresh start.



Sometimes we may only be able to treat it for so long before we are ready to have completely healthy hair again. The good news is that it grows back! And the even better news is that now you know how to take care of your hair better than before!



So do not be discouraged if this is the only option that you have. It is very difficult to stop hair breakage if not impossible. I lived through a year and a half of treating damaged hair and I was relieved when I finally cut it off!

the world of work

im doing my work expierince now at a textile print studio and its so hard, every day i have to screen print the fabrics by hand. Then i had to hand wash fabric for 8 hours!!!!!! because you can't put it in the washing machine after you have printed the fabric because it could ruin the print so you have to hand wash it and carrying buckets of water to wash it. my arms were tired! lol im gonna build some arm musles. then i spent the day ironing, cutting and packaging fabrics. the work is hard but over all im learning how to screen print and diffrent techniques of fabric dyeing.then the manager told me to clean up bird shit!!!! so i had to wipe it up!!!! then she droped some food on the floor ands she was like " get the work expierince girl to clean it up" i was so pissed off but i had to do it. i had to sweep up food that SHE droped herself. i thought i was doing a textile work expirence but i think i was the maid and cleaner.

how to grow hair faster

Get a little of the massage oil on your fingertips and put them to your scalp and massage your scalp in a circular motion. Do this all over - each time getting additional massage oil. Don't use too much because you don't want to make your hair greasy.

Rosemary Oil
•One other thing you can opt for is to use rosemary oil to make your hair grow more beautiful and shinier.
•It provides better looking hair because it works from the outside and gives a shiny appearance.
•You will also notice that rosemary oil causes your scalp to tingle. This is a good sign in that it is stimulating your hair follicles and circulation which of course, aids in growing hair.
•Pay special attention to this essential oil if you're trying to grow hair fast or increase your regular growth rate.


You can create a perfect combination of oils for your hair by mixing different ratios of the above mentioned remedies.



For example you can use rosemary oil and almond oil at the same time. On one hand almond will perform its strengthening action while on the other hand rosemary will help increase growth rate. In the end you will be left with beautiful hair that is both strong and healthy.






Since there is not much you can do to make your hair grow any faster hair only grow 1/2 inch every month. you can work on making a difference in how much breakage and hair loss you experience on a normal basis. By breakage and hair loss, I am referring to the damage you experience as well as what you do to repair the damage.



For example, if you have split ends, that is a type of damage. Getting a trim to relieve split ends is a form of damage repair. Both of these reduce the amount of hair length that you retain. Thus, limit the damage and reduce the damage repair.



Over time, that will lead to retaining length while at an optimal growth rate.




Growing long hair fast take a huge commitment. Here are a few quick tips for the fastest route to long hair:

•Get a good trim to start.

•Wear your hair up every single day.

•Don't use ANY heat.

•Moisturize hair and ends daily.

•Wash hair every 4 days to every 7 days.

•Use the right hair products that contribute to hair growth.

•Take a vitamin that will enable your hair to reach its hair growth potential.

•Deep condition weekly.

•Use a strengthening protein conditioner at least once a month.

•Keep hair moisturized and soft.

•Be extra, extra gentle when combing and styling. Use a good seamless comb that won't snag your hair.

•Don't manipulate the hair much, put it up and leave it alone.
In conclusion to grow long hair fast, you need to get your hair to its optimal growth rate if it isn't there already. Next, you need to focus on retaining length by eliminating damage and damage repair.
