Natrual Products For Facials
Don't throw out that overripe banana on top of the fridge.
Mash it up and it's all you need for a soothing at-home facial that will make your skin feel great. Many fruits and vegetables are great ingredients for facials, says Stephanie Tourles, a natural living expert who has written extensively about home-blending natural beauty products.
Pick an ingredient from our list and follow her basic instructions for your food-based facial. For best results, give yourself a facial twice a week, Tourles suggests.
Beyond the edibles, another natural ingredient -- mud -- is also great for the entire body, says says Maxine Siegel, skincare expert for Ahava, an Israeli company that harvests Dead Sea minerals for its home spa products, including bath crystals, body masks and other products. She gives us tips for a full-body mineral mud treatment.

1. Put your hair up or cover with a shower cap.
2. Cleanse your face and apply chosen mask.
3. Lie back and relax for 20 to 30 minutes.
4. At the sink, use a wash cloth dampened with warm water to gently remove mask.
5. Finish with your favorite moisturizer.
Note: Because of their natural acidity, papaya, lemon or raspberry should not be used in masks for sensitive, sunburned, wind-burned or irritated skin.
TAKE YOUR PICK
Cucumber (normal to oily skin) -- What's with the cucumber eye covers at the spa? With repeated use, the mild bleaching action of cucumbers can help reduce dark circles around the eyes and help even out a blotchy skin tone, Tourles says. "It also acts as a very gentle astringent, helping to remove excess oil from the skin." Chill those cucumber rounds and they will help you relax and reduce under-eye puffiness. But, Tourles says, a better option would be to drink a glass or fresh, raw cucumber juice. "It stimulates the kidneys to drain off any excess water retention in the body."
Avocado
Papaya
Bananas (all skin types) -- Mash up a 2-inch chunk of very ripe banana for a skin-soothing facial. For dry skin, add a half teaspoon of heavy cream.
Honey
Lemon
OatmealOatmeal (all skin types) -- Most of us know that oatmeal is soothing to irritated or itchy skin. If you use a coffee mill or blender to grind it into a powder, it makes a silky base for a soothing facial.
Oatmeal mask
4 teaspoons ground oatmeal
5 teaspoons buttermilk
Combine ingredients in a small bowl and allow the mixture to thicken for a few minutes. Stir to remove any lumps.
Raspberries (normal to oily) -- These berries contain a natural lactic acid -- just like milk does -- which will gently exfoliates on a chemical level. The lactic acid in the raw fruit also has a gentle bleaching action.
Tourles uses raspberries in a refining mask from her book Organic Body Care Recipes (Storey Books, 2007, $18.95). It works for all skin types to gently exfoliate, tighten and bleach dull, slack, blotchy skin and leave behind a "raspberry radiance," she says.
Raspberry Raspberry Refining Mask
1/4 cup fresh raspberries
purified water
2 teaspoons finely ground white clay (buy at health food stores or online)
2 teaspoons ground oatmeal
In a small bowl, mash raspberries with a fork until nearly smooth; seeds should be included. If the berries are on the dry side, add a little water until the pulp is quite juicy. Stir in clay and oats until a spreadable paste forms. Allow mixture to thicken for a minute or two. If the resulting mixture is too thick, add more water. If it's too thin, add more oats.
AHAVA Dead Sea Mineral MudDON'T EAT MUD
If giving yourself a facial is a great way to relieve stress and tension, try treating your entire body. Ahava's Dead Sea Mineral Mud can be used for facials, full-body treatment, manicures or pedicures.
Here are tips Maxine Siegel's a full-body treat: Heat Ahava's Dead Sea Mineral Mud in the microwave for 2 minutes. (Test the heat of mud before applying). Smooth mud all over the body and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off thoroughly.

But, Tourles says, a better option would be to drink a glass or fresh, raw cucumber juice. "It stimulates the kidneys to drain off any excess water retention in the body."
AvocadoAvocado (normal to dry or very dry skin) -- Those same good fats that make avocado a superior dietary option make it wonderful for a facial. It's also a good source of vitamin E.
"You can simply mash it in a bowl with a fork until it's like guacamole," says Tourles. As the avocado mask warms up on your skin, it tends to get a little runny. "So it's best to lie back, relax and let your skin drink up all the natural oils."
Try this treatment twice a week in the dry winter months. "It makes the skin very soft and supple," Tourles says.
PapayaPapaya (oily to normal or slightly dry skin) -- Remove seeds, mash in a bowl. Apply to face as directed. A papaya mask will tingle a bit because of the fruit's acidity, which also will help rid dead skin.
Bananas (all skin types) -- Mash up a 2-inch chunk of very ripe banana for a skin-soothing facial. For dry skin, add a half teaspoon of heavy cream.
HoneyHoney (all skin types) -- Honey is a humectant, which means it draws moisture from the air to your skin. "I prefer raw honey because it's loaded with enzymes," says Tourles. "The enzymes will act as a mild exfoliant on a chemical level, helping to remove dead skin build-up." Pour a teaspoon of raw honey in your palm. With a couple of fingers, dab a very thin coating over your face and neck. "As time elapses, it really revs up the circulation," Tourles says. "You may see a glow or some peachiness coming up to the surface of your skin."
LemonLemon -- Out of toner? Mix equal parts of fresh-squeezed juice and distilled water. Apply to skin as needed. Should not be used by people those with sensitive skin or citrus allergies.

Proper Hair Care
Hair Care for Black Women
Need some tips on hair care for black women? Then just go through my article and follow the tips to have healthy and gorgeous hair.
Most of us love the very popular black hairstyles. They are completely different and look really cool. But is there any different regime of hair care for black women? Yes, though not very different from that for other hair types, this type of hair needs regular care. So, if you are one of those searching for tips on hair care for black women, then I must tell you, it is important not to skip the hair care regime as far as possible. Your hair can be frizzy, wavy, spiral, curly, thin, thick, dry or silky. The structure of your hair can cause it to be more prone to breakage and dryness, this is the reason your hair needs extra care. More kinkier the hair, the more difficult it is for the oil secreted from the scalp to reach the ends of the hair. Let us know more about hair care for black women.
Hair Care for Black Women
The hair care for black women mainly includes treating your hair properly and gently. The better you treat your hair, the more gorgeous it will look. Your hair generally tends to be dryer and more prone to breakage due to its structure. This structure makes it difficult for the oils to work their way from the scalp to the tips of the hair. Hair tends to break most of the time at the places where it curls and twists. Also, as your hair is kinky, it tends to tangle more and making it tangle-free can cause breakage. More on African-American hair care tips.
Hair Care Tips for Black Women
Here are some simple tips on hair care for black women.
Night Care: Section off your hair and plait it or wrap it up using a scarf before you go to bed. You hair becomes tangled during the night if left open, hence, tying and wrapping it will reduce the number of tangles, thus, reducing the chances of hair breakage. This will also help avoid split ends which are caused due to rubbing of your hair against the pillow case. You must always use a wide tooth comb to style your hair. Using a fine-tooth comb will lead to hair breakage. You can use fine tooth combs and brushes only for finishing touches after styling.
Diet: Diet plays an important role in a proper hair growth, hence, you must eat a healthy diet. Include vitamins and proteins in your diet, these are very essential for proper hair growth. Also, you must drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated and to have shiny and healthy hair.
Oil Massage: Oil massage is a must for your scalp. Massage the scalp regularly to promote circulation and oil production. Go for a hot oil treatment once a month. Apply hot oil to your hair and scalp, massage your scalp in circular directions. Now, cover your head with a plastic cap and sit under a dryer for about 20 minutes or wrap your head in a towel. Then wash the hair thoroughly with shampoo, followed by conditioning it. This is the best natural hair care for black women, it helps the dry brittle hair to get soft.
You can opt for natural oils such as shea butter, jojoba oil, olive oil, and sunflower oil. Applying oil to wet hair to will help hold in the moisture. You can opt for creams or leave-in conditioners when you don't wash or wet your hair. You might need to experiment a little to find out which oil works best for you. More on essential oils for hair growth.
Trim: The next tip on hair care for black women is clipping off the split ends regularly. Cut the split ends when your hair is wet after being washed because this is when your black hair is at its longest length. Also, you can easily see if the length is uneven and trim the hair accordingly. Trimming the tips regularly help in proper growth of hair.
Styling and Hairstyles: Hair care for black women includes keeping the hair away from heat and chemicals as much as possible. Do a little research before buying hair care products for your hair. Also avoid gluing hair extensions because gluing might badly damage your rough hair. Give your hair a day off by skipping the use of those curling irons, blow dryers, hairspray, glue, dreadlocks, weave and perm.
Water is the best thing for your hair. But, remember that you should not use hot water. Spraying a little water on your hair every day before combing the hair is a great idea. You can try out different black hairstyles or hairstyles for black women, which works well on your natural hair type. More on hairstyles for African-American women.
Wash Care: Wash your hair once or twice every week. Washing more number of times can dry your hair. Comb your hair after you have conditioned it. It is easier to remove the tangles while it's wet. If you sweat, rinse your hair with water at least if not with shampoo and then condition it with a leave-in conditioner. You must always use a leave-in conditioner after washing your hair. More on how to wash your hair.
After reading the aforementioned hair tips for black women, you must have understood that hair care for black women is not a difficult task. Follow the hair care routine to get those lovely looking locks and make heads turn

Cell Phone Etiquette
Here are some simple rules for cell phone etiquette in public.......
When a Private Conversation Isn't Possible. Intimate public settings such as restaurants, public restrooms, waiting rooms, hallways, buses, subways or anywhere a private conversation is not possible is a bad place for a cell phone conversation. To practice good cell phone etiquette, put the ringer on vibrate or silent mode and let the call roll over to voice mail. If it's an important call, step outside or to a secluded area to return the call. If that's not possible and you must take the call, keep your voice low and the conversation brief. Let the caller know you'll get back to them when you're able.
