The cold and harsh weather is knocking at our door but that doesn’t mean we have to care less about our hair than on summer time, winter can also damages our hair almost as summer does, especially when the use of hair dryer doubles as we will never be stepping outside with a head of wet hair in that blustery air.

So for us to start taking care of our hair in winter exactly as we take care of our skin I have researched a few interesting, effective and most important, natural recipes and some of them even used over the years by me and my cousins, so here the two proved most effective with the hair types below:

1- Dried Hair – Carrot, Avocado and Vitamin E Mask:

Ingredients:

1 carrot
1/2 avocado
1 table spoon of sweet almond oil
1 tbs of honey
1 cup of natural yogurt
1 capsule of de vitamin E

How to Prepare:
Wash your hair with shampoo before applying the mask. Blend all the ingredients together in a blender for about 5min, separate your hair in small locks and apply the mixture in each one of them from root to tips with a brush or fine comb, when finishing applying all over your hair, cover your your head with a large piece of foil for about 40min. Rinse well after the 40min, apply your preferred conditioner and let it dry naturally. Repeat that procedure every 2 weeks.

2- Oily Hair – Rosemary Spinach Mask:

Ingredients:

3 cups of Spinach slightly chopped
2 tbs of fresh Rosemary leaves
1 tea bag without the tea

How to Prepare:

Cook the spinach with 3 tbs of water then blend it together with the rosemary leaves put everything into the tea bag and apply gently all over your hair in separate locks, leaving in for about 30min.

Important: Before making use of any kind of masque do a test on your skin before using it on your hair. That must be done to avoid any kind of allergic reaction on your body.

Have everything cleaned up before preparing any masque, the success of your treatment depends on the hygiene of your materials also.

And last but not least, do not substitute any ingredient on the recipes even if you find it is going to have a better effect.

Just heard of a new blog and went right by there to check it out and, surprisingly, for me, I could watch a beautiful testimony of a beautiful girl who denominates herself a ”big girl” Well, I dont think she’s that big but the thing is her blog is awesome and I loved it.

It’s a blog full of fun, information and good vibes, showing big girls how to pull through the difficulty of being ”big” discovering from the inner self the ability to cope with ignorance and bringing out the ability to love themselves for what they are.

Being big doesn’t mean you can’t be sexy, sensual, beautiful, attractive, smart, intelligent, elegant, you can have all of those qualities and even more, much more I can say. You are a person, that’s who you are, a person with feelings and brain, a person who can love and be loved, you are a person, not a size, so look inside and find out how wonderfully you can enjoy life, being happy and making people happy.

This is what reading that testimony made me feel and I hope those girls, no matter what happens, do not keep from bringing to us their thought and feelings and sharing with us what only us can feel on our skin, the happily truth of being big.

Thank you Mulherao

I’ve been blocked for a while due to a few banners I had but now I think everything is gonna go back to ”normal”

Untold millions have been spent in weight-loss crazes and fat-burning drugs, but it appears a diet high in protein might have the same metabolic effect, according to a study by The Veterinary and Agricultural University in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Researchers gave a group of 12 subjects three different meals: Two replaced about 20% of the carbohydrates in subjects’ diets with either pork or soy protein, and the third lowered the protein content in favor of more carbs.

Researchers then measured subjects’ 24-hour energy expenditures, and found that the pork and soy results showed about a 3% greater thermogenic effect than the carbohydrate diet, with pork producing a slightly greater effect than soy.

More encouraging still for carnivores is the mounting evidence that protein-rich meals lead to a greater feeling of fullness, and therefore fewer calories are consumed.

publish your blog

Whether you are a blog novice or an expert you will be surely trying to come up with ideas to bring traffic to your blog or site, right?

Blogsphere was once a calm and peaceful enviroment, I remember when I started blogging with Blogger late 90’s, it was just for fun, discovering the world, for me ”traffick” was only the passage of people and vehicles along routes.

Things change and with them everyone of us and the internet that before was only a handful of personal logs now is a universe of people sharing the virtual space.

I dont actually search much for online ”traffic” in these days, never did anyway, no patience or much time to it, but sometimes I am almost obliged to do it unless I wanna lose a client.

And when I do so I try doing it the clean way, no spam and, no abuse, no false promises and the right engines.

Thought I could write a book ”100 Ways to attract Traffic to your blog or web Page” but that I leave for those huge Collection of Useless Clickbank Ebooks on Easily Making Money and what I have, I gladly give for free.

First thing I have to use when I need to attract ”Traffic” to a page is Patience, that I dont have in huge quantity.

Why patience? The huge circle of friends you have till now was built along the time, you meet someone that address someone else to you and that goes on, with a huge difference, virtually, you can travel the world in a few minutes and make even more friends into those minutes, so how does that work for ”trafficking” ?

Start Travelling and making friends: There are lots of social networks around the web, thousands of them to be precise, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, are among the top ones so start your trips from there interacting and showing yourself up a bit wont hurt.

Be natural with people, dont rush to them showing how desperate you are for a hit on your page, be kind and polite, you will see with time you will make real good friends that will also make your network grows large, many of them come and go, you have to be aware of that too.

Visit blogs, forums, drop by a page, say hello to someone and comment…comment…comment, comment naturally on topics of your interest, on topics you have knowledge about to complement the information you just received from the author or simply compliment his good work done on that site, not just leave your web address seated there on the comment box, please, leave your mark.

Every time you comment on a page you will have your web address embedded on your user name automatically (if you happen not know how to do this just come here and ask me, will be my pleasure to give you a hand with that) so when people see your comment, they get curious about your words and then go check on you with a simple click on your name, easy like that and it means more friends and ”traffic”.

Add your web address to search engines like Google Blog Search and AlphaInventions, you can also use search engines as Yahoo, Ask, Aol, Live but once you submit your page to the top ones, the others will automatically show your page on the results cos many of those engines are merely portals.

Use the power the tags, tag your contents, your posts. Tags are your ”Internet Bookmarks” the digital image that helps you to describe a content and allows that content to be found again by searching or browsing, so don’t waste that, use complete tags that will help people to find your contents.

Been there, done that? Dont forget your appearance, use a clean template for your page, good content, clean language, add media, videos, music, widgets, but not too much to keep your visitors dizzy when they first come.

And the last but not least: Post, post interesting contents, do not underestimate your readers and visitors, they must be respected, write according to your taste but think of them as well, what they will like to read or what kind of reading they are expecting from you.

Post everyday, people who like your style are likely to come back more and more if you keep on posting, take a time of your day and write something, for yourself, for them, for who is interested or not. After all, you want some traffic but you also can’t lose your personality and having fun plays a huge role on keeping you motivated.

Now, practice your patience, the seed is spread, wait for the fruits ;)

Confirmed this month, Vista’s sucessor will be on the shelves on October 22. A kinda discount will be offered to users who needs to upgrade from the disappointing Vista. Meanwhile you can play a little bit with Windows 7 for free.

Those who want to try out the release candidate of Windows 7 only have until August 15 to download the code here. After that date, you can still install a copy you have downloaded (and even get additional product keys), but most folks won’t be able to get the code from Microsoft’s Web site.

I was reading someone’s Post and that reminded me of my writings and one of them is a especial one writen in Italian.

I write many things in many languages, sometimes I dont remember if it’s a song or a poem and in this case, forgive my Italian but I thought at the time I wrote it fit my emotions very right and here no matter the grammar but the feelings…

Le rose piangono
Tuo profumo adesso si transformi in lacrime,
Io me sento troppo perduta
Le rose allora piangono

Piange mi anima,
Come un uccello con le ali dannegiatta,
In il mio sogno Io cerco a te
Piange allora mi anima

Lacrime
Che invadono il mio cuore
Lacrime
Parole d’anima
Lacrime
Il puro linguaggio d’amore

Piangono le rose
Perche tu non vuoi essere qui
In assenza de tuo profumo
Io giá so che te ho perdutto
E tra le altre cose
Io piango per te

Me manche il aroma
che ho sentito quando me abbracciarvi tu
Senza tuo corpo
Senza il tuoi bacci
No c’è motivo di vivere
