Make your own hair products part 2

Dude, i am like the dummy of dummies! I was so sad coz i noticed that no one viewed my ''make your own hair products part 2'' last week. Well i guess what could have helped is to post it!!!!!!!!! Only a few days ago, i noticed that i forgot to press on that lovely ''publish'' button! Can you get any more silly?
And because i am a boring girl and like to keep a certain routine, which is post every Tuesday morning at 08:30 am just after my 50th cup of tea i thought i'd keep it for today!
So here it is. Enjoy!

Avocado mask
What dry hair absolutely luuurve is a good old Avocado mask. Mash the Avocado with one egg yolk and a teaspoon of honey (you'll love the color... not!) Apply this mask on dry hair before your shampoo. Put a shower cap on your head (avoid the towel man, the paste looks like baby poo) Put some music on, do a little scrub or something while the mask rest for 15 mins. Then shampoo and apply conditioner as usual.

fooking dry hair rescue
Now if you have really, like really dry and dehydrated hair, try that one.
blend 25 drops of rosemary essential oil into 5 cl of olive oil and leave in for one hour. Then shampoo and apply conditioner as usual.
Now if you have really dry hair it's probably down to the type of products you use so be sure to apply the right product for your type of hair. If you use hair straighteners, please, for the love of God, use a thermal protector. The GHD one is perfect! Can't wait to have GHD on the Mauritian Market again!
Did i tell you the story of the biatch who stole my GHD? OK OK OK i know you had enough of that story!

Hair loss
Do you also notice hair loss when it gets warm? Or is it just me? Mr Parker (My Dog) and i have the same pattern for our hair loss. Strange! Shit it hurts to call Mr Parker a Dog! He is not a dog, he is a little lovely cudly doobly bubbly coolllyyy doodoodoodoo baba!
Okay so
To promote hair growth and keep the hair follicles healthy, you will prepare a little magic potion with the following ingredients:
1 teaspoon of jojoba oil
15 drops of Rosemary essential oil
10 drops of Cedarwood essential oil
60ml of aloe vera gel.

Combine the jojoba oil with the rosemary and cedarwood essential oils. Mix the aloe vera gel and blend. Store it in a dark bottle. each night before going to bed massage one tablespoon of the mixture into your scalp.
You might have to bare a few odd looks because of the manly smell but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do!

Also, prepare this shampoo
for 250 ml of shampoo you will need. Well obviously 250 ml of shampoo! But get a neutral one like the Organic care one. You'll find it easily everywhere now. And you will need the following essential oils
30 drops of Rosemary essential oil
10 drops of Thyme essential oil
10 drops of Lavender essential oil

Blend the essential oil in the shampoo. This is your shampoo ladies and gentlemen! Massage is very important for circulation and hair growth so spend some time massaging your scalp when doing your shampoo. Close your eyes let the water massage your neck while massaging your scalp, imagine you are in Tahiti or i dunno, some other super sexy island with people riding horses at sunset on the beach. Ahem! So yeah spend some time massaging your scalp, let the mixture sit for three minutes, then rinse thoroughly. If you use a conditioner, remember, only the lengths, do not apply conditioner on the scalp! or as my old hairdresser would say, on the ''coco latete''


oily hair

Simple as abc. Just juice 2 lemons and mix to 1 liter of water and use this as final rinse after your shampoo and conditioner! Easy innit? want something more fun to prepare?
prepare your own shampoo with this:
take 1 table spoon of Green clay (pharmacies)
add a pinch of Salt (your kitchen)
Mix with some water until you get a creamy paste.
Apply to your hair and scalp. Massage for 3 minutes. ( gently you don't want to over stimulate the sebum production, it would be shooting yourself in the foot)
let it set for 15 mins and rinse with water only. For extra goodness you can add a few drops of vinegar to the final rinse water. I personally hate the smell of vinegar though. Yeah man that was a shampoo! Why because it didn't foam it means it didn't clean your hair? Bullpoo!!
You can apply some conditioner to untangle but i would personally recommend the scented oil of last week on the lengths, that will help untangle

Some shine for all hair types

Now that's a kind of servicing for your hair. The sun, pollution, smoke from ugly buses and lorries, long hours in the pool and stuff.
Ingredients:
The Mask
-2 to 3 egg yolks
-2 tablespoon of Rhum (yes, Rhum)
- 1 teaspoon of Almond oil.

The Final rinse
The juice of 2 lemons and 1 liter of water

Whisk the egg yolks, Rhum and almond oil in a creamy lovely paste. Dampen the hair and apply the preparation. Let set for 5 minutes and rinse with warm water. Warm yeah not hot. You don't want to end up with cooked egg yolks on your hair. You'll look like a giant walking scramble egg and that's not the look we want to achieve!
After you've washed the hair with water, Finish with the final rinse and dry as usual. Air dry is the best as far as i am concerned. But that's just because i have Curly hair.

That's it Folks! Enjoy! What will we be talking about next week. Oh my Dog i know, Mr Parker who is sitting on my feet and warming them told me to do something about Dogs! Agree?

Make your own hair products

So witches how did last week go? Anyone tried anything? Ok, on second thought maybe i won't want to know...
Lets go with hair today. Now that i've got hair again it's my main hobby. When we did the new bathroom, we had a special place made just for our hair products. I think i tried everything on the market. GHD, Aussi, Paul Mitchel, Nicky Clark, John Frieda,Umberto Gianini, Tony&Guy etc etc. I love hair products! Specially since i've got hair again :-)

But sometimes i make my own, Because it's fun and it works.

Dandruff

Once i a while i get dandruff, special in between seasons. I know, not glamorous and in Mauritius i can't even pretend that it's snow innit! There is only one product i know but i'm not sure about the Zinc in it. However it seems to work wonders on pimples and acne!! But i never tested it. So just for that i tend to prepare my little potions.

You will need
600ml of Apple juice ( no sugar)
600ml water
125 ml cider vinegar
5 drops of tea tree essential oils
2 Drops of Lavender Essential Oils

Mix the ingredients together and use it as a final rinse after shampoo and conditioner. You know you should use conditioner on the lengths only yeah. Once a hairdresser said, '' non non non vos cheveux vont se grainer si ze metre ca sur le coco latete'' I almost died trying not to laugh. It's mean though

Headlice

Talking about dandruff shall we go on something even more gross? Headlice!
Yeah man, i'm not a mother yet (unfortunately) But i remember first days of primary school as being the nightmare of my mum because she just knew i'd come back with head lice. Oh shut up look at me in the eyes and tell me you never had little buggers in your long hair. I looked so stupid coz she sprayed my hair and gassed me with parapoux then did two braids, Yuk! Thank god i said adios to headlice when i left primary school!

So here is a recipe for you little ones.
This should be used on children over 5 years old. Not under!

You need 50 ml of non perfumed conditioner ( i get organic Care Conditioner, i got it from ebene Way, It's the most neutral i could find on the market in Mauritius)
3 Drops of Geranium Essential oil
4 Drops of Lavender essential oil
3 drops of Tea Tree
2 drops of Neem seed carrier oil

Mix all the ingredients.

here is the procedure for the treatment

Take the blend and massage onto the scalp
Leave the mixture in the head for half and hour or up to two hours.
Cover with a plastic cap to help absorption and stop the child from touching the hair. Careful mums, the eyes will sting like crazy if they get it into the eyes. This should be taken into consideration seriously. Never let essential oils getting into the eyes or mouth and mucous (e.g, women special parts)

Then comb the hair with the lice comb and get rid of those bastards.

Then rinse and shampoo as usual.
Do the first treatment every 4 days. Until they are all gone.

Scented hair Oil
If you want to smooth fly away fizzy hair after a blow dry or after using an iron here is a blissful oil. You can also use this before hair color for even absorption and protection from chemicals
You will need
25 drops of Lavender essential oil
25 drops of Sandalwood essential oil
5 drops of Clary Sage

Mix and keep in a dark glass bottle and use a drops when needed. I love the smell of this blend. You can also use a few drops on your brush or comb for a fresh scent that will get people thinking...

There are many many more tips but that will be it for today. Next week i'll go hair type by hair type. If i did all that on what post it would be the biggest post ever because i've got loads and loads to share.

Remember to like if you liked and share if you very liked. ( That's such a strange phrase!!)

Make your own love charms

No One but Ross can do a better description of Love!


What i'm gonna share with you today has to be practiced with care. Put a hand on your heart right now and promise that you will not use it to harm your partner or future partner. Common lets do it together '' i Swear to the almighty that i will not use these information against the will of one, or to cause harm to one and that i will not discuss my spells once they are released'' Done? Lets move on now.

Ok there's gonna be two parts here. The first will be on Aromatherapy things that will make their head turn and the other one will require another level of understanding and openness to weird things. Because yes, i'm a bit of a witch too. A good one though! Are you giggling and thinking that i'm off my nuts? Well think twice cause i could make your tongue go green and rotten. That's the bullshit part, no i cant do that. What i have done though is more spiritual stuff like reiki, meditation yoga. The one thing that is the base of witchcraft is turning a ''i wish i could'' Into ''thanks for what i can''See what i mean? What's the point in moaning ohh i wish i had a nice car instead how about changing the words to Thanks for this new car i am going to get soon... Doesn't it feel somehow better? Now try that with a smile...

Ok let's go with some ''aphrodisiac'' stuff first for those who are already in a relationship and want to surprise their man. Now i am extremely sensitive with the combination of the word ''massage'' and ''sensual'' Being a model AND a massage therapist was like having the word slut tagged on my forehead. I spent a lot of energy trying to keep my integrity and make the Mauritian understand that yes i am a model but no i do not go under the desk for contracts. Yes i am a massage therapist but no i do not give ''extras'' and in both cases yes i have a boyfriend and no i dont need a sugar daddy!! It really gets to me when i say '' massage'' and people have this little smile. Because it's a noble job and it gets on my nerves if people don't respect it. This said, we can move on to the more intimate part of massage that you as a girlfriend, wife or fiancee could give to your partner given that it's in the privacy of your home and not in a spa, beauty parlor or Salon! Sorry i am really sensitive on that! :-)

A BATH FOR TWO
So here is a simple bath salt recipe for you both if you have a bath tub or if you go on a romantic trip.

You will need:
225G of sea salt
125g Baking soda
30 drops of sandalwood essential oil
10 drops of clary sage essential oil
5 drops of Rose Essential oil
2 Drops of Ylang Ylang

Combine the salt and baking soda, add the oils drop by drop. Mix well and put in an airtight container. I personally prefer glass to plastic but i cant remember why. I know there's a good reason though! When you will have your bath dissolve four to eight tablespoons of the mixture when the tub is full! Trust me, the scent is heavenly and it will totally turn their heads!

Alternatively you can go for a bath oil, if you want to spend some time cleaning the mess after. I once did that and slipped because of the traces of oil! Bad and not romantic at all!

So you will need
2 tablespoons of jojoba oil
2 tablespoons of almond oil
25 drops of sandalwood essential oil
10 drops of rose essential oil
5 drops of patchouli essential oil

Mix all the ingredients in a bottle and add a teaspoon when the bathtub is full. Enjoy and careful, slippery tub!

And one thing, in the movies you see that they have wine or champagne in the bathtub but this is quite dangerous as your body (specially your heart) is immersed in hot water and the combination of this and hot water can be pretty dangerous. And essential oils too. So how about considering a sober romantic time?

Bedroom scent
Make sure you have put a nice scent in the bedroom, cherry scent is a proven head turner but lets make it fun and do our own bedroom fragrance.

For your own room spray you will need:
300ml of orange blossom flower or 300ml of water
6 drops of bergamot essential oil
10 drops of Clary sage essential oil
2 drop of jasmine

Mix all the ingredients in a sprayer bottle and spray in the bedroom. Avoid wood furniture though.

Alternatively you can use a burner and add 3 drops of bergamot essential oils, 5 drops of clary sage and 1 drop of jasmine. Careful if you are using a candle burner. You don't want to end up having to call the firemen too. Use an electric burner, it's much safer in general.

The Massage
Jesus, i found it extremely hard to write massage here because it's going to be for a different thing than therapeutic. But let's stay cool. You understand that i am a professional right?
Ok so for the... m.a.s.s.a.g.e oil you will need

15 ml of jojoba oil
2 drops of Clary sage essential oil
1 drop of patchouli essential oil
1 drop of vetiver essential oil
2 drops of ylang ylang essential oil.

Now girls i cant tell you what to do, put some nice music on, and let your imagination guide you. But careful, avoid the eyes, and his little soldier. You don't want to end up to the hospital with a ''soldier'' inflammation and a ''little flower'' irritation if you see what i mean...


You engaged people want a little witchcraft for your lover too? Now shhh don't say that to my boyfriend but guess why we are still together after 5 years of distance relationship. Yep there is magic in the air!
A simple way to make sure they have you in mind is to find out about his birthstone and infuse it with your loving energy. But first you will need to do this little ritual to clear all other energy from the stone.
First find out about his birthstone. I can help you with that if you want me to. When you go to buy it ( there's a great feng shui shop in Quatres-Bornes where they sell crystal pendents. There is one at Phoneix Les Halles too). They have to let you hold them in your hands and chose them. Yes you need to ''feel'' that this pendent is the one. Because so many people touched them, you need to clean it and infuse your own energy.
So you'll do that
On the first day of a full moon, put the pendant in some salted water and let the magical energy of the moon cleanse the pendant. In the morning remove it from the water and place it in your left hand and cup your other hand over it. Sit with the eyes closed and visualize your happiest time with him. The way that you feel when he looks at you or when he touches you. The first day that you met, your first kiss, when he proposed maybe, your wedding if you already tied the knot. Visualize all these happy moments and let your happiness infuse the crystal. Then give it to him. If he is not the jewelery type of guy. You can get a crystal and do the same procedure and offer him to put in his office maybe. Trust me there's no magic here, it's called energy. It's as real as the wind that we can't see is real! We were made with six senses, we use only five!


All the single ladies put your hands up!
Sometimes it breaks my heart when i see some facebook status. Take it easy girls, love relationship are supposed to be good for you and fun. If someone is not made for you, let go. There is someone else out there for you. Take it eeaaasy! I am the living example for that. My husband broke up with me by sms. I took 3 days off work, cried my heart out and smiled to life again. If he didn't do that i would have never met my actual boyfriend who is a total blessing and i would have never been so happy. Yes despite him being in London and me in Mauritius. Life is good, love is good. But don't listen to lyrics of love songs. It's not real life.
Ok mum kitty has spoken.
Now these little tips have to been absorbed and done with right intention. It's not black magic, voodoo or anything evil. Its more like white magic and are more like little blessings than evil spells.
Rule number one
You have to use them with a pure heart and never use them to cause harm to others. You cannot oblige someone to love you. That's cruel for you and for him. The only way you can use it and that it will work if it is share attraction. Like if you are into this shy guy who is not making a move for example.

Rule two
Always start by visualizing yourself in a clear, white light, if you are religious ask for angels or god protection and blessing. Spend a few minutes visualizing yourself in a pure, blessed bubble of love. Shit i just realized i must sound totally diluted to you! haha But hey try it and believe 100% in whatever you do.
I got most of these spell from Raven Tempest.

I hope i can trust you to use it with caution and good intentions.

To attract a lover
You will need
1 silver necklace
1 pink quartz pendent
3 drops of lemon essential oil

First of all you need to cleanse your crystal. Put in in salted water by the window on the night of a full moon. On the following night go outside and stand beneath the moon. Rub a few drops of lemon essential oil into the pendent and then wear the necklace around your neck.
Imagine yourself in your bubble of protection for a few minutes. Then raise both of your hands toward the moon and repeat out loud

I invoke the powerful moon goddess to cast this spell.
I wish to meet a suitable partner who will enrich my life.
so shall it be


Spend has much time meditating and letting the magical powers of the moon infuse you. Then walk away without turning back. Wear the necklace until you find the one. When you have, the pendent must be buried. Do not give it to someone else.

Ok, how are we feeling? laughing your ass off or going to try it?

To Attract the person you desire
If you know the one, and you know that he is free and could be attracted to you too. Try that
Take 16 cm of green ribbon and write the initials of someone you desire with a symbol of love and a star on it. Then tie seven knots in the ribbon while repeating his name. Wear it under your clothes the next time you meet.

Alternatively try that one
Place thirteen red candles to form a circle. Sit in the middle, light the candles and envisage your desired one in front of you. After a short time blow the candles off and repeat the exercise at the same time for seven days. Again be sure you are doing that with the good intention, specially for him.

Broken hearted

Here we go that's it for single ladies. Any broken hearted here? Relax, everything is going to be fine. But to let go take a picture of both of you that was taken during the good days. Go to the beach, stand facing the sea then tear the picture in half and throw it into the water. Spend some time listening to the power of the sea and know that you have the strength to let go and be happy again. Then walk away without looking back.

Had a little argument?

This will help patch up an argument
You will need
9 heart-shaped red floating candles
a large glass bowl filled with water

Begin this spell on a Friday night. Hold the candles in your hands and energize them with loving energies and repeat the following while thinking about your lover.

Lover be safe, lover be true,
Love come back and thrill me through.
Embrace me in your arms and envelop me in your love.
Let the fire in our hearts bring back our joyous love.
so shall it be


Spend a few minutes thinking about the words you have said.
Then place all the candles into the bowl.
Light them and repeat the spell. Imagine you and your lover patching up the argument. Leave the candles to burn down naturally and safely.

Now don't go and throw a fit at him, if it was his fault you have to forgive for the spell to work. If it was yours you have to acknowledge your mistake and apologize. Always be sincere though. You can fool him But you can't fool yourself thus can't fool your spell!

Here we go ladies and if there were any gentlemen...
If there were, note that we do like to be surprised too...

I hope you enjoyed this post and thanks that we are in 2011, in my previous life i lived in Salem and they burned me for being a witch :-)
How about grounding back to normal life next week and talk about hair... Happy?

Take care and remember, to do everything with the right intentions for everyone involved, don't be a selfish bitch ok...
Muah
