Aromatherapy: The magic of essential oils

I recently found the magic of Aromatherapy through essential oils. I heard about it many times before but I was never really interested in using or learning about it, until a friend of mine recommended it to me after I mentioned I was having trouble to fall sleep. I tried, and “oh, boy”, I fell in love. They not only helped me with going back to a full relaxed night of sleep, but with being more focused and overall healthier. For that reason I feel I should totally share this with you. So if like me, you are clueless about Essential Oils and its benefits, but are considering giving a try, here are some helpful information:

I understand is common for the majority of people to have lots of bad habits when it comes to morning routines. Trust me. I’ve been there.

But since I decided to make some small changes, and consistently started taking these 7 Morning Routine steps, I have more productive days, and my life in general just improved. So, here’s how to improve yours too:

1. Stay away from your smart phone on the first hour

If you use your phone’s alarm to wake you up, turn it off immediately after it buzzes. Just try to resist the urge to check social media or emails. Your mornings should be reserved just for you, so don’t waste your precious time being slaved to technology. You will have plenty of time to check it later. This means even disabling notifications on your home screen so you don’t fall into the temptation of that Facebook or Twitter update.

What’s Your Hair Type?

Today I will explain how your can discover your hair type so that you can better take care of them. For a long time in my life I didn’t know that there are several categories for the various types of hair, and that they are separated by numbers and letters. I went to learn that when I was in hairdressing school.

The well-known hairdresser Andre Walker, who has won an Emmy Award for his work as a hair stylist for Oprah Winfrey, – in addition to making the famous Halle Berry’s pixie haircut- created a chart explaining the different types of hair and today I I’ll pass on to you what I’ve learned.

The hair are divided into 4 types:

Straight
Wavy
Curly
Kink Curly

Each of these has 3 different textures. Knowing your hair type helps a lot so you can use products that will help your hair and you won’t spend money on products that won’t leave your hair the way you want.

Hair Type 1 – Straight

They can be A, B, or C, and range from thin / fragile to thick.

Type 1A is the thinnest and fragile. Type 1B has a mixture of thin and thick hair and type 1C is thick. The 1C is the hardest to style. You can use a babyliss and after 2 hours it will be flat again. Because they’re thicker, the scalp oil reaches the ends more easily, leaving it with lots of shine. A very common example of hair type 1C is Asian hair (smooth and thick).

Learn the difference between dandruff and dry scalp

Winter comes and with it the annoying scratching and so we start to wonder: do I have dandruff or my scalp is dry? Well today I will explain the differences between the two and share a great recipe for you.

Dandruff

Our scalp has micro scales that falls regularly, but that can go unnoticed when our scalp is healthy. Dandruff happens when there’s inflammation followed by itching, and those larger flakes that begin to fall. Three things can cause dandruff:

1. Fungi: your scalp has fungi that ingest the healthy oil from the scalp and release a substance called oleic acid that is potentially irritating;

2. You’re sensitive to oleic acid: some people are more sensitive than others and can develop dandruff while others do not;

3. Oily Scalp: When your scalp produces excessively sebum.

What happens is that the scalp becomes irritated and begins to itch, our body reacts by creating new cells and pushing the irritated ones out, falling off in the form those visible flakes in our clothes.

Dry Scalp

Like the skin on our arms and legs, the scalp may simply be dry, which can be less frequent than our skin, as our scalp produces a natural sebum to stay hydrated and protected. Even so, the scalp may indeed get dry.

Brief Intro to Ho’oponopono

In my journey to live a happier and more balanced life I came to know Ho’oponopono. After reading about the Hawaiian therapist who cured an entire ward of criminally insane patients, without ever meeting any of them, I got very curious. The therapist was Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, creator of the updated Ho’oponopono version called Self I-Dentity Through Ho’oponopono (SITH)

But what is Ho’oponopono? It is basically the power to heal ourselves by reconnecting to our pure zero state of love and accepting that we are responsible for every single thing that happens in our lives. Everything! When we accept all of our responsibilities and do what Dr. Len calls “cleaning”, we can align our vibration to the divine and have true inspirations, instead of simply relying on our limited beliefs generated from old memories.

For us it means a way to clean our bodies and mind from those negative memories and feelings that can only trap us and keep us stuck, blocking the universe from reaching our most pure state, which is the zero. When we are at “zero” we allow the divine in to transform and inspire us.

How will this help me?

Once you start to feel responsible for your life you’ll feel less of that feeling of hopelessness. You’re not an mere spectator in you own life. You can now control it. Who doesn’t want to feel that, right?

Why I started meditating

Today I want to share with you the reasons why I started meditating and all the benefits that this amazing practice has been bringing to my life.

I actually started to get serious about it after I started practicing Yoga everyday, as part of my morning routine. I basically had the idea that meditating was something impossible for me because I could never clear my mind from my thoughts. I tried to practice a few times before but I always ended up quitting because it was too hard, and to be honest with you, I had no idea of what I was doing.
