Random Thoughts

Tonight's post will showcase my most random thoughts ... here goes ...

So, a few weeks ago I was sitting in court waiting for my case to be called and I was talking to one of the court officers. She was telling me how another court employee (who is from Hong Kong and thin as a toothpick!!!) lives on green tea. She went on to tell me that it just flushes out your body of toxins and excess water. I had also read this myself, and immediately went back to the office and started chugging. I did my own research and learned that you can burn 70 calories a day drinking 3-5 cups of green tea. I have been drinking about 3-5 cups a day for 2 weeks and I am retaining less water and experiencing less digestive discomfort than in the past. The unique, natural properties of green detoxify the body and boost the immune system. The ancient practice of using teas to cleanse the digestive system really does work! I recommended drinking a de-caf blend after 5:00 pm to avoid sleep disruption. I take my tea with a bit of honey and Splenda. Green tea is best without milk or cream. Enjoy!

I have received a lot of feedback about my post on Moroccan oil so I wanted to elaborate on my thoughts on this miracle product to ensure that you can get the most out it and see results quicker. Don't waste your money on the Moroccan oil mask. You can use the traditional oil to make a mask which produces the same results. Here's how to do it -- wet hair in the shower or tub. Generously apply the oil from the ends to midway up your scalp (do not put on or near your roots). Take a towel and wrap around your head, tucking all of your hair into the towel. Let the oil set in your hair under the towel for 15-20 minutes. Comb out and put it in a clip. Sleep on it and wash your hair thoroughly in the morning. Do this at night before bed, otherwise you will look like a hot mess with super oily hair!!! This is an overnight treatment, intensive repair treatment.

Tonight is night 5 of my lash serum test run. I am definitely noticing a difference in length and I am eager to see how far this stuff takes my lashes!!! I apply the serum in the morning and at night. I am also using the primer (which contains the serum) under my mascara in the morning. This routine seems to be working without any irritation or side effects.

Lastly, I have been asked about dry shampoo -- do I use it and if so, what kind do I use? The answer is "yes" I do in fact use dry shampoo in between shampoos. I've tried several brands, but my favorite by far is the Ojon aerosol spray. It is super easy to apply and blends nicely. It gives your hair an instant boost by lifting oil away from the roots. Amazing! Ojon hair products are available at Sephora.
