I have been switching between countless shampoos for the past decade.  I have tried all type of shampoos from different brands and have been using sulfate free shampoos for a year.  I thought my current sulfate free shampoo is my holy grail. However, I have noticed that my hair has not been feeling clean lately.  I did some research and realized that I could have product built up on my scalp from the silicone in my current shampoo  The three  ingredients to look out for in shampoo:  1.  Parabens -  they can mimic the activity of the hormone estrogen in the body’s cells, and while estrogenic activity is associated with certain forms of breast cancer 2. Sulfates - Commonly know as Sodium  Laury Sulfate. Avoid anything that has sulfate in it.   Sulfates are a strong cleansing agent which can cause drying, irritating your scalp, fading of hair colour and even hair loss.  3. Silicone - Silicone are usually present in names ending with 'cone'. Avoid such ingredients w

Collagen Everyone wants to look young and beautiful forever. However, as we ags, the collagen level diminishes and our skin no longer holds up as well as before. I'm a bit skeptical about taking collagen orally, but many people swear by the results. I think results varies greatly for different individuals. But since collagen powder is quite affordable, there is no harm giving it a try. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and is the substance that holds the whole body together. It is found in the bones, muscles, skin and tendons, where it forms a scaffold to provide strength and structure. Sources of Collagen We can get it from foods such as egg whites, meat, soy, berries, cheese and many more. But due to hectic modern lifestyle and unbalanced diet, most people may choose the convenience of collagen powder/ drinks. Personal experience I have tried Meiji collagen powder, DHC collagen powder and Kinokimistu. The drink version is deliciou

I have been using   laneige    BB  cushion for 4 years now. I have repurchased numerous since then. It was my first  BB  cushion and really loved it.

Forget fab diets, LCHF, Starvation..I'm here to share with you how to lose those pounds in 1 week. The above methods are effective BUT once you are off them, your weight will pile up like crazy. My background story I have been a fat lost journey since last year( I state Fat not Weight: we shouldn't be too obsessed with our weight, especially for ladies as our weight fluctuates a lot due to our monthly hormonal changes. Most of the time we are just weighing our water weight ). Early 2015 : Tried the popular LCHF with little success. Many people swear by the changes they see by adopting this lifestyle. However, you need to be strict  with what you eat to see the results. You are only allowed little carbs, high fats and moderate protein diet. No cokes, no sugar, no bread no rice no pasta for at least 2 weeks. I was on this diet for close to a month and didn't like it. Personally,I don't think its necessary to cut all the grains from my diet. My weight went up by 2 k
