BEWARE OF UNSANITARY SALONS: WHAT LOOKS GOOD FOR YOUR HAIR MAY NOT BE GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH

Let me tell you folks how I recently went into a local salon and my heart just dropped. Not only were the beauticians doing people's hair with no protective cape on, there was hair everywhere, along with a hot plate, crisco, and some potatoes soon to be sliced and fried! I cannot make this stuff up! I couldn't believe such things were going on in salons that should be a professional sanitary environment. My girlfriend then proceeded to tell me her own horror story of dirty combs, extremely late stylist, and even worse professional practices. Whether it's a black, white, or purple salon, no matter how great the style is you should not sacrifice your health and safety. All dirty combs and implements should be in a...

All the color in this client's hair made her the perfect candidate for a caramel treatment. It seems I have fallen in love with a new product. It is not new on the market, but it is new to me. I am sure you have seen the Facebook videos, went to the website, but you never really know how something works until you try it. I am talking about E’Tae’s Caramel Treatment. I must say that it does everything it says it will.  As it deeply penetrates your hair, it provides nourishment for both hair and scalp as it is high in concentration of vitamins, minerals, and potassium (hence the smell of bananas). I did notice it also improves manageability while giving full body and natural shine. However,...

EXERCISE OF THE WEEK: YOU WANT GOOD POSTURE YOU GOTTA WORK THOSE HAMSTRINGS!

Here’s another great exercise that you can do from the comfort of your home.  Hamstring curls with bands.  Well- developed hamstrings will help you maintain good posture, and prevent leg injuries.  Because your hamstrings cross the knee and hip joints, they work to bend your knees and draw your hips backwards. When executing explosive movement, these muscles play an important part in shifting the load from your knees to your hips.  Take a band and safely wrap it around a sturdy post, as you see on the video mine is wrapped around my stair rails.  Place the band around your ankles and begin bending the knees towards your glutes.  Be sure to have enough resistance while you pull, and flex the hamstring muscles as you pull...

What if there was a pill that could make you more focused, smarter and more alert? Would you take it? Your first thought might be “YES”, but what about the side effects? What are you giving up to acquire these abilities, and is it worth it? Over last twenty years, stimulant drugs such as Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta and more recently Modafinil, have flooded the brain cells of young adults who think that these drugs might possess the power to give them command over their Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms or give them an edge in performance like the fictional drug NZT in the movie Limitless. However most users don’t realize that: (1) these drugs do not cure ADHD and symptoms do return if...
