I have been talking a lot about Chicago winters and how they take a toll everything. I would have to say that my winter boots take the biggest toll of all. The amount of salt that is laid on the ground to melt the snow is more than enough to to wreck my boots and I don’t take care of them the way I know I should.
Here is a short video showing you exactly what I do to not only clean off my boots but to keep them clean as well.
My mom (From Parents Of A Dozen) has a great video showing you just how we make these organic handy wipes using an all natural house hold cleaner. I have been using these wipes around my house of over 10 years now and I will never go back to store bought wipes again.
Are your boots having a rough time with all of this winter salt? Do you even live in place where there is salt because the snow is never ending?
When it comes to winter I can’t stand the cold weather, although living in the Chicago area you have no choice. Winter comes every year and there is nothing you can do about it, except prepare for it! I am the queen of bundling up: leg warmers, scarfs, coats. You name it and I have about ten of them. When you are out of the house my theory is “You can always take layers off, but you can’t put more on”!
Now that I have made my point that I like to layer in the winter, I want to share with you one of my favorite layering tricks. I LOVE wearing leg warmers to help keep my leg extra warm and to make my outfits look nicer. Although I am not a fan of the generic looking leg warmers, the ones that all look the same except in different colors. My Sister-In-Law reminded me of an old trick I once knew about turning your old sweaters into leg warmers. It is super easy and takes less than a minute!
Here is a video showing you just how I made these leg warmers.
You only need an old sweater and fabric scissors.
Hold out one sleeve nice and straight.
Cut from the under arm area to the top of the sleeve.
Do the same to the other side. That is all there is to it.
Do you wear leg warmers in the winter? I have something extra special for you so I will ask you only one thing. Make sure you don’t throw away the torso part of your sweater, I have a surprise for you coming next week. I know you are going to love it, so make sure you subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss a thing!
Imagine this: You get out of the shower put a comb through your hair and it actually go though your hair. Then you start to style your hair and it wants to corporate. Better yet, your daughter gets out of bath time and doesn’t scream when you comb through her hair any more. There are not more rats nests and life is simpler. Doesn’t that sound nice? Well… I have the solution, “The Prosante DYI Leave in Conditioner”.
I can’t tell you how many times a week I use this product not only on myself, my family members as well as every single one of my clients. For to many years I was spending a fortune on ready made leave in conditioners and detaglers. I personally think that everyone should use some sort of leave in conditioner everyday. It will truly make a huge difference in your life when it comes to styling your hair and the over all condition of your hair. Our hair really takes a beating from day to day, everything from the blow dryer, curling iron / flat iron to the sun, the wind to the harsh chemicals in the air.
We really have to do everything we can to take care of our hair. Our hair is one of the things we are going to have to live with for the rest of our lives and we should start treating it that way.
Here is a short video showing you just how to I made this detagler!
I love Shaklee’s ProSante Hair Care line and use all of these products everyday.
I used an almost empty Replenishing Conditioner bottle (With 1/8 cup to 1/4 cup of conditioner left in it.) Warm 7 oz. warm water and the top from an empty Long-Lasting Finishing Spray. Any spray bottle with work with all of the same proportions.
I took the top off my empty hair pray bottle, washed it out and put it into the new detagler.
It is truly that easy!
This is defiantly one of my top ten favorite products. You just spray and comb!
*Helpful Hint ~ Start combing from the bottom/ends and work your way up to the top/scalp.
Not only do I love the Replenishing Conditioner as a detagler but I absolutely love it as a regular conditioner as well.
Do you want to have soft and silky hair every single morning? Are you looking to simply your life and make it a little easier?
When it comes to curling hair, there are so many different types of curly hair style you can do. It all depends on what type of curls you are looking for and what hair type you have. You also have to think about the length of your hair and decide if it will work with the curl you want to achieve. Not to mention what size curling iron you will need to achieve which curl.
I have a number of posts coming that will show you just how to answer all of those questions.
Although for today I am going to be showing you another type of curl that I absolutely love! This style is great for medium to long hair. It gives a very soft, more natural look. I love this look for everyday but I guarantee when you put on a little black dress you will blow people away.
Here is a short video showing you just how to create these beautiful waves!
I also love the simplicity of these curls.
Do you like to wear your hair curly? Would you like more post about curling hair for all different hair types and finding styles that are more achievable for you?
I hope this help and I can’t wait to hear how you it turned out for you. So please share!
Do the same to the other side. That is all there is to it.
