All about hair

Or all about my hair... In general I like to use natural products rather than to use too many chemicals on my hair and skin. These are some products though that I have been using for years. Coconut oil spray by Ogx, I use it on my ends when they are dry or when I have to use heat. In general I find the organic coconut oil works the same. Phyto Volume by Phyto Paris, I use this product ocassionaly for volume as my hair tends to get very flat and lacks volume.  I also love Kerastase Elixir Ultime and Ojon one of my favorite brands as well, my favorite from Ojon is the oil Damage Reverse which I ran out of, it is my absolute favourite together with the Crabtree & Evelyn Jojoba oil, they always save my dry ends. I also like to use them for the scalp massage.

I purchased this Shu Uemura Essence Absolu, following the advice of my hairdresser, but I find it makes my hair a bit too greasy as my hair is so thin and flat already, so if you have hair like mine which is not very thick and voluminous, I would not reccomend this oil at all. I avoid hair sprays as much as I can but if I absolutely have to use it, then I use Elnett by L'Oreal but I honestly use so little of it that this small bottle has lasted me more than two years.

Since I stopped coloring my hair I have tried to use all kinds of shampoos for the revival of the color. I just got these new products by Schwarzkopf so I'll let you know if they work ,also if you have any ideas about the good shampoo for blondes let me know!

A little time

 Today I finally found some time for a little bit of pampering. It felt soo good to have some time for myself. I have to laugh though because now I call pampering even washing my hair and curling it! These days time is preciouss and I realy apreciate every minute that i get without rushing. I even had time to dry my hair and curl it properly which is a luxury these days. A proper relaxation and time for your self is so important though it makes you feel prettier and more relaxed in an instant. I love to just take a bath with my favorite essential oils and salts and candles. This stuff is so important in the winter!

Dnes som konecne nasla trosku casu na kuru. Velmi dobre mi to padlo mat trochu casu pre seba. Ale musim sa zasmiat pretoze teraz uz volam kurou aj umytie a natocenie vlasov! V tychto dnoch je mi cas naozaj vzacny a naozaj si cenim kazdu chvilku ktoru mam bez nahlenia.Dokonca som mala cas aj na vysusenie vlasov a natocenie co je pre mna v tychto dnoch luxusom. No poriadna relaxacia a cas pre seba su take dolezite, hned to pozdvihne sebavedomie a zrelaxuje cloveka. Rada si robim kupel s oblubenymi esencialnymi olejmi, solou do kupela a svieckami. Tieto veci su v zime tak dolezite!

Skin and hair in the winter

1. Milk Concentrate by L'Occitane, 2. Apricot kernel oil by Melvita, 3. Ultra Doux dry shampoo by Garnier.

In the winter my skin and my hair are extremely dry, that's why I try to use the most gentle products that don't have too many chemicals in them. I realy like using organic oils, or how they call them in France bio huile , they are gentle on my skin and hair, keep it hydrated and smell amazing (a little bit of aromatherapy in the winter is important too) . I personally love the smell of almonds in the winter. These products above satisfy my cravings for sweet almond scent. The Milk Concentrate by L'occitane is the best bodylotion and I even use it as a hand cream it smells amazing and makes my skin so soft even in the winter. The apricot oil is great for taking make up off and it helps prevent and minimize the appearance of wrinkles. I'm not a big fan of dry shampoos, at least I wasn't until I tried this one. Ultra Doux by Garnier works the best for me when I need that fresh feeling.

V zime su moja plet aj vlasy velmi suche, preto sa snazim pouzivat vyrobky s jemnejsim zlozenim, ktore nemaju prilis vela chemikalii. Rada pouzivam bio olejceky, alebo ako ich nazyvaju tu vo Francuzsku bio huile, su jemne na pokozku a vlasy hydratuju a uzastne vonaju ( trocha aromaterapie v zime tiez nezaskodi) . Ja osobne mam v zime rada vonu mandli. Tieto vyrobky moju tuzbu po mandlovej voni uspokojuju. Milk Concentrate od L'Occitane  je to najlepsie telove mlieko a ja ho pouzivam aj ako krem na ruky vonia uzastne a robi pokozku velmi hebkou aj v zime. Marhulovy olej je vyborny na odstranenie mejkapu a pomaha aj proti tvorbe vrasok. Nie som velkym fanusikom suchych samponov, aspon som nebola az pokial som neskusila tento. Ultra Doux od Garniera je pre mna top ked potrebujem osviezit vlasy.

Staying healthy in wintertime

I love autumn and winter. The whole year I can't wait to wear jumpers and turtlenecks and mittens and boots and colorful hats and scarfs... But the part I don't like about these seasons is the flu. In the wintertime we all go through it... it's the flu season and sometimes no matter what you do and how much you wrap up , you still wind up getting it. I've had my share of flus and colds. Here is one thing that helped me to avoid it, Manuka Honey. It's like a little caramel colored miracle in a jar, plus it tastes so good. It helps with the immune system and is even good for skin and hair. Beauty starts on the inside and what you put in your body is the most important for your nourishment . Your skin and hair will thank you for it too.You can eat it plain, put it in drinks, milkshakes or hot porridge or like me even apply it as face mask. Add some omega 3s in your diet like salmon and avocados plus fruits

and veggies and you're set for the cold season.

Mam rada jesen a zimu. Cely rok sa neviem dockat obliect si svetre a rolaky a rukavice a cizmy a farebne ciapky a sale.... Ale vec ktoru na tychto obdobiach rada nemam je chripka. Vsetci tym v chladnych obdobiach prechadzame... je to obdobie chripok a niekedy bez ohladu na to co robite a ako sa obliekate, stale skoncite v posteli. Ja som si chripok aj nadchy uzila dost. Tu je jedna vec ktora mi pomohla vyhnut sa im, Med Manuka. Je to ako maly karamelovy zazrak v kelimku, navyse chuti tak dobre. Posilnuje imunitu a je dobry aj na plet a na vlasy. Krasa zacina zovnutra a co davate dnu je najdolezitejsie pre vyzivu. Vasa plet a vlasy sa vam tiez podakuju. Mozete ho jest samotny, dat ho do caju, kavy, alebo miesanych napojov, ovsenej kase alebo ako ja aj rovno na tvar namiesto masky. Pridajte si do jedalnicka mastne kyseliny omega-3 ako lososa, avokada a viac ovocia a zeleniny a ste pripraveni na chladne obdobie.

 I also use good quality honey made by my friend JoAnn in Cadott WI, instead of sugar. Thank you JoAnn!

Pouzivam tiez ako sladidlo namiesto cukru kvalitny med ktory vyraba moja priatelka JoAnn v Cadott vo Wisconsine. Vdaka JoAnn!
