Nokti (opet) / Nails

Kao što sam nekome već rekla, ne lakiram nokte baš prečesto, ali kada to učinim... svi to trebaju saznati :))))

Za one cure koje imaju dugu kosu, održavanje i njegovanje kose je prilično zahtjevna kategorija. I što god mi mislili, razni šamponi, regeneratori, maske i čuda u šarenim bočicama, puno toga dobrog naprave ali koliko su dobri, toliko i sva ta kemija napravi štetu.

Danas ću s vama podijeliti recept za masku za kosu koji ja znam koristiti s vremena na vrijeme. Pravi "uradi sam" projekt :)

Keeping your hair neat can be hard thing to do. Especially if you have long one. All kinds of shampoos, conditioners, masks for hair are very helpful. BUT, I realised that, all that chemistry can't be healthy for my hair. So, from time to time, I treat my hair with mine own homemade hair mask. OK, it doesn't smell so nice as those colored bottles and tubes, and, even, some of those have better result. But, in this case I know that I'm doing great thing for mine hair. Without any consequences. Simple "do it yourself".

1 žlica meda

1 tbsp of honey

2 žlice maslinovog ulja
2 tbsp of olive oil

Sok pola limuna
1/2 lemon juice

Izmiješam
Mix it all

Ja masku nanesem na kosu, kosu zamotam u pundžu, učvrstim onim malim crnim špangicama (što ih ja u zadnje vrijeme zovem "bobipins" jer ne znam hrvatski naziv), i za pola sata - sat, na uobičajen način perem kosu.

Here is what I do. I apply that mine hair mask on mine hair. I make bun and secure it with bobby pins. Than I can do whatever I like (but I stay at home because it doesn't look really great). After half an our, or maybe sometimes after an our, I wash mine hair. (like any regular washing). I'm happy with the result (every time). Hope that you'll try it.

Nemam baš slike kako kosa izgleda nakon ove maske, ali ću vam pokazati oko čega se ja to brinem. Tj. slike moje kose :)

Here are some photos of mine hair, so you'll understand what I have to deal with. (No I don't have any other photo of mine hair which isn't taken because of projects.)

UPDATE:
Purple Sky me je u komentarima podsjetila na ricinusovo ulje. Ugl, malo sam "proguglala", i odmah sljedeće jutro sam u ljekarni kupila to čudo prirode. Sada dodajem još samo nekoliko kapi ricinusovog ulja u ovu masku. Ne koristim ga dugo, ali za sada sam zadovoljna.

Purple Sky reminded me on castor oil. I'm using it in mine mask, now. I add in mixture only a few drops.

I'm linking up on those lovely parties.

DIY Piling / Peeling

Preparati za piling mogu prilično koštati. Ali, mi sami možemo napraviti svoj specijalni piling.

Treba nam zrnata struktura i neka tekućina koja će sve to povezati. Što sve možemo koristiti?

Zrnata struktura: kukuruzno brašno, sitna morska sol, šećer...
Vezivo: tekući sapun, gel za čišćenje lica, maslinovo ulje

Uvijek treba paziti i ne biti previše agresivan. Sami ćete ocijeniti koji "recept" vam najbolje odgovara. Ja koristim kukuruzno brašno i gel za čišćenje lica. Nikada ne miješam unaprijed brašno i gel.

Pomiješam ih neposredno prije korištenja.

We can make our own peeling (peel). And we can use things which we already have, like salt (that one what we use for cooking), sugar, cornflour, olive oil, liquid soap... You know your skin. And, you'll decide what's the best "recepe" for you. I'm using cornflour and cleansing gel.

Zapravo i nema neke pripreme oko samog pilinga. Dovoljno je pronaći posudu u kojoj ćemo čuvati kukuruzno brašno. Ja sam iskoristila malu teglu od kašice za bebe. Poklopac sam prebojala akrilnom bojom i onda ga još dodatno ukrasila (bojom na napuhavanje - žuto, nekakvim sjajnim kemijskama u boji), oko tegle sam zamotala traku sijena i napunila je kukuruznim brašnom.

There is no much work with makeing peel. It is enough to find something to keep corn flour. I used little jar whic is originaly used for baby food. I painted lid with acrylic paint. Then I decorated it with some puffy paint (yellow) and some cool shiney pens. I wraped jar with strip of dried grass. And finally, I filled it with corn flour.
