HI LADIES I FOUND THIS OVER THE WEEKEND AND I PLAN TO TRY IT WHEN I TAKE MY MICROS OUT...ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This recipe is simple, easy to make, and most importantly, it WORKS! Here it is:
* 4 to 5oz EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
* 2 tablespoons Cayenne Pepper
Add both ingredients to a squirt bottle (one with a nozzle) and shake before use. Apply and massage into scalp the night before washing your hair.
Stimulates growth like you wouldn’t believe. Please NOTE, the cayenne pepper will REALLY make your scalp tingle so don’t be alarmed b/c that’s what it is supposed to do! Also, take caution when rinsing this mixture out of your hair. If it gets into your eyes, it WILL sting. I simply close my eyes when rinsing it out and open them once it’s all rinsed completely out of my hair. Unless you're that good, I guarantee you will forget this your first try at this and it will get in your eyes and it will sting. LOL. But you will learn quickly!
As with any hair growth stimulants, CONSISTENCY is the key and the only way you will receive results. Don't expect to see results right away. You should start to see results in about 4 weeks if you use it CONSISTENTLY, some see results sooner than that. Give it a try and after 4 weeks share your results! Or if you use this now or used to, share your comments! Stay blessed and beautiful.

HEALTH TIPS ON CINNAMON AND HONEY
Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call "crystallizing". When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.
Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in
HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In
ARTHRITIS: Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the
According to the studies done in
A scientist in
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increase and even a 100 year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.SKIN INFE
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.BAD BREATH:

WHO INVENTED THE STRAIGHTENING COMB?
Born: Sarah Breedlove
1867-1919
Madam Walker was an entrepreneur who built her empire developing hair products and the straightening comb for black women. She claims to have built her company on an actual dream where a large black man appeared to her and gave her a formula for curing baldness. When confronted with the idea that she was trying to conform black women's hair to that of whites, she stressed that her products were simply an attempt to help black women take proper care of their hair and promote its growth.
With decades and decades of improvements, the hair industry is now at an all time high. Women spend so much time and money on hair, with BLACK women being the biggest consumers. A lot of the products damage our hair and some being very healthy for our hair...either way, good or bad, expensive or inexpensive, we'll try it.
There are so many options out there now from braids, to weaves, to wigs, to ponytails, to perms, that is so exciting to see that so many of us are reverting back to 'our roots', being natural. It's almost like the same feeling I had when Barack Obama became president lol. . In my eyes it's a wonderful thing that we are converting back and embracing our own natural hair. The hair industry is a billion dollar industry, and as I mentioned black women are the biggest percentage of the consumers, yet 'they' (other races) won't let us in the business side of the industry.
Perms aren't moving off the shelves as fast as they were I'd say ummmm 5 years ago so now the hair care companies had to think how to stay relevant. They see that black women (again, the biggest percentage of consumers) are going natural. Well guess what? We need products for our natural hair. These companies are now coming out with a line for natural hair. I would've never thought I'd see Pantene with a line for women of color, or a natural hair care line from Isoplus....and there are more to come, trust me.
No one knows our hair better than us...There are small independent black owned companies with there own natural hair products. We should patronize these smaller companies more rather than always supporting bigger and well known names......

RAPPER METHOD MAN'S TAKE ON NATURAL HAIR
When recently asked in an interview if he liked women with natural hair, Method Man responded:
"No. I don't like peasy afros, sorry. I don't like dreads either. I like a woman to get her hair did."
My thoughts: First of all, to each is own...However, I feel like this comment was very ignorant coming from a man of color. So Method Man, are you saying that a woman that has natural hair doesn't get her hair done? Or, because it's kinky/curly/wavy (anything but straight) it doesn't look like it's done? There has been plenty of times I saw your hair 'wolfin'... So in your eyes it's cool for you to walk around with a peasy afro but not women? Again, your preference is your preference, as I have my own, but the ladder part of your comment you could have kept to yourself. BTW, where have you been??? -__-

COMBS
There are many types of combs out there on the market. Although I will not list all of them, I'll list the basic ones we see and use on a daily basis. Although you may say to yourself "Why do I need more than one comb? A comb is a comb, all I need is one", this is so not true. These combs are made differently for a reason.

Combs Tips
Chan, PJ-1
TYPES OF COMBS
- Wide tooth combs: This is generally used for detangling.
- Rat tail combs or fine tooth tail comb: This type of comb is mainly for styling and parting hair.
- Picks comb: This type of comb is used for lifting the hair away from the head, it is also used to add volume.
- Regular styling combs: This type is used for styling and smoothing.
- Fine and wide tooth comb (regular comb): This type of comb is divided in two parts and one part have a close and the other a wide tooth. This type of comb is used regularly.
- Teasing combs: This type of comb is used in teasing hair.
Combs Tips
- Always rinse comb with hot water after each use.
- Don’t use a close teeth comb on wet hair to avoid breakages, instead use a wide tooth comb.
- Use combs with smooth ends not sharp and/or broken teeth to avoid hurting your scalp.
- Buy strong, sturdy combs not weak ones...even if it costs more it's worth it.
- All combs style differently so use the perfect comb for your style.

Diebetes Treatment
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder of the body in breaking down carbohydrates, which is characterized by a lack of increase in blood sugar and insulin levels as well as a lack of insulin in the body. Blood sugar level is the concentration of sugar in the blood, the calculations are per milligram per deciliter (70 mg -110 mg/dlt is the normal size). Insulin is working to set the balance in the blood sugar levels every time, though, especially after meal blood sugar tends to change.People with diabetes, the mechanism of insulin is not fully functional, and the result is increasing blood sugar which are not controlled, and when it reaches 600 mg/dlt, it would be very dangerous if not treated medically.
Types of Diabetes
There are three types of Diabetes:
1. Type I (occurring in childhood)
2. Type II (occurring in adults)
3. Gestational Diabetes (Diabetes during pregnancy / due to pregnancy that can be lost after the pregnancy was over).
The division above is only for easy explanation, in fact many adults affected by Diabetes Type I and many children are obese and inactive are affected by Diabetes Type II.
Diabetes Treatment
The main difference between Diabetes Type I and Type II diabetes are on insulin levels in the body. In Type I Diabetes patients produce only a little insulin or none at sekalli, so it must inject insulin for life along with a strict diet. While on Type II Diabetes, insulin is produced by the body but the insulin is not working as it should. Type II diabetes is sometimes can be controlled only with weight loss, diet, and exercise as appropriate.
Treatment of diabetes which mainly is to get the handling of medical professionals. The second is to recognize the type of diabetes that affects the body and identify themselves in detail, by finding all the necessary information. Perform regular blood sugar tests, adhere to special diets for people with diabetes, taking medications as prescribed by a doctor, and do not miss the sport, and do not underestimate this disease.
Diabetes Diet
Basically, people with diabetes without complications from other diseases, can consume all kinds of food, provided that the total calories / food intake in a day does not exceed the amount required.
The main difference is the amount of food, when serving food like burgers / steak normal range is between 8-12 oz per serving, people with diabetes to consume only 3 oz. Sugar and fruit or juice or desserts / snacks can still be consumed in limited amounts. Foods containing fat and high cholesterol are also avoided, and the consumption of carbohydrates and sugar process also avoided. It is advisable to eat a lot of whole food, (whole grains, whole wheat, brown rice, mashed rice, sorghum, bulgur, oats and the like) and fresh vegetables / organic.
It is recommended to consume a varied diet with a comparison between limited carbohydrate and sugar, meat or protein is very low fat / no fat, low-fat meats, fresh fruits, skim milk fat.
Learn also about Glycemix Index (GI). GI food lists with the latest content already published. Also need to master about how to count carbs. The selection of food with carbohydrate content and low GI will greatly assist the body's metabolism in maintaining the stability of blood sugar in the body.
Sodium intake must also be kept tight, avoid using canned foods or processed foods (corned beef, instant noodles, salted fish, bacon, egg, salt, sardines, shredded, etc.) which high sodium levels (> 400 mg). For sauce, look for soy sauce with low sodium levels.

Food Pyramid
Foods below are preferred because they provide complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, fiber and other components important for health.Rice, oats, barley, corn, wheat and other products are great sources of energy and protein. Full-grain products contain more iron, phosphorus, vitamin B (thiamine, niacin & riboflavin) and fiber.
Peas, beans and lentils are rich in protein, carbohydrates, fiber and some vitamins (especially vitamin B). Soy beans - which is very rich in protein - can be found in various forms such as soy milk, tofu, tempe, textured vegetable protein, and bean sprouts.
Each day, try to select at least one type of fruit or vegetables that are rich in vitamin A or carotenoids. Good sources are green vegetables (cabbage, spinach and kale), carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, mango, papaya or watermelon. Also, try eating one option that is rich in vitamin C every day. Options may include guava, papaya, orange, mango or star fruit. To get folic acid, eat green vegetables, peas, okra and sweet corn nuts.
