Haircuts for Faster Hair Growth

Faster Growing Hair

For faster growing hair be sure to trim the ends during the New Moon or the Waxing moon, which is when the moon is barely starting to grow. You can cut your hair from New Moon to just before the Full Moon begins.

Thicker & Fuller Hair

This one is probably the easiest to identify, to grow fuller & thicker hair you simply trim during the Full Moon.

Slower Growing Hair

If you wish for your haircut to last longer so you won't have to keep making trips to the hair dresser, trim after the full moon right when the light of the moon begins to decrease, it can also be done during the 3^rd & 4^th quarters of the Waning Moon. So basically throughout the days that the moon is in the process of going from Full Moon to New Moon.

You can use this website to see the current phases of the moon. I hope this helped all you ladies who are trying to manage the speed of your hair growth. 

Nail Polish Brand you Must Try

I bought these nail polishes a while back on my trip to BC, Mexico last summer & I thought I would just share my experience with this great new brand I discovered! First off I have had these polishes for about 7 months and the consistency is still as it was the day I purchased them, of course I do always keep them tightly closed and in a cool place. In addition to that these polishes don’t chip easily and it only takes about 1-2 coats to get the color, usually just one. I feel that these polishes are the equivalent of the brand Essie, which is also one of my favorite brands, but can be a bit pricey. These polishes are pretty affordable & come in different sizes. Unfortunately I have not been able to find them in the US, at least not in California. However these polishes are available on this online website .

These are currently my two favorite polishes from this brand.

Diamond Silver BNP034

Juvia NP280

I definitely do recommend this brand if you are a fan of Essie, but would like something more affordable. Remember to comment if you have tried these polishes and love them as much as I do, or if you know where they sell them in California.

Pink Ombre Cupcakes

For the ombre Valentine's Day cupcakes you can use the recipe I used or any other white cupcake recipe you like.

White Cupcake Recipe

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs 

3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder 

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 
Directions:

Start by creaming the sugar & butter in a medium sized bowl. Then beat in eggs, flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and milk each ingredient at a time in that order. Remember to preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

To get the ombre effect divide your batter evenly in 3 bowls & add food coloring to make each bowl a different tone of red. Start by making the darkest color first then make the next bowl a bit lighter and the last one the lightest. Be sure to make the tone difference noticeable so the colors don't look the same.

Once you have all your tones the way you want them, start by pouring the darkest batter on the bottom of each cupcake liner, then pour the next color into the liner making another layer, and finally pour a next layer with the lightest batter.

Finally put your cupcake trays in the oven for 20-25 min or as long as your recipe calls for. After they are done let them cool off for about 10 min & decorate them as you wish. Enjoy!
