Homemade Beauty Workshop

I will be giving a workshop on how to make your own beauty products on September 2 at 7 pm. The cost will be between $10 and $15 to cover ingredients, and you will go home with lotion, lip balm, a face moisturizer, a face wash, and perhaps some mineral makeup. If you are interested please email me at sheatheviking@gmail.com and I will send you a skin care questionnaire to fill out.

Beer, it's not just for breakfast anymore!

Besides making ugly people attractive, beer is also excellent for your hair! I'd heard this many times, and recently decided to give it a try. I poured about 1/2 a can of cheap beer into a bowl and let it get warm. Then, in the shower, I bent over, put all my hair in the bowl, and up-ended it on my head. I did not rinse. While I did smell pleasantly yeasty till it dried, there was zero smell when dry. It made my hair beautifully shiny, and since I didn't rinse out it gave my hair great frizz control and hold, and was definitely more curly.

Try these hair cocktails next time you wash!

2 oz flat beer
2 oz warm (not hot!) water
1 oz apple cider vinegar
3 drops rosemary extract

Mix together in a bowl, and in the shower bend over, put all your hair in the bowl, swish it around, then up end on your head. Massage into your scalp, leave on for about 2 minutes, rinse with luke warm water.

Or
4 oz flat beer (try putting it in the microwave for 30 seconds)
1tsp honey

Same as above.

To use as a styling aid:
Either just rinse with straight beer or beer and water then leave in, or pour some beer in a spray bottle. Mist on hair and style. Don't worry, the smell goes away when your hair is dry. Keep in fridge.
