We love it on our skin, not our hair



Spraying fragrance on your hair is actually damaging.

 Many perfumes have a high alcohol content, colognes even higher, and if you're spraying them on your hair on a daily basis then your locks will end up brittle and dry. It can also strip hair color faster.  Doing this occasionally won't hurt too much - after all, having a whiff of fragrance as your hair swings about can be quite sexy. For everyday wear, keep it on your body. Key points are your neck, wrists, and behind the ear.  Several perfume makers are now listing the ingredients of their fragrances, but most still are not, so you really have no idea of how much damaging alcohol is in your favourite fragrance. 

We love to smell good, but your scent will actually last longer on your skin.

Home Remedies for Acne / Breakouts

I have tried some of these remedies in the past and they actually worked.


Tea Tree Oil- This is obtained from the Melaleuca alternifoliais tree from Australia. It contains bacteria-fighting substances called Terpenes, which either kill the bacteria or weaken them .

Aloe Vera- I bought a plant and used it fresh everyday. The enzyme-rich gel has very soothing anti-flamatory and anti-bacterial properties. You can also drink aloe veera, which will clean up and detox the digestive tract.

Zinc- you can get these in capsules from any drug store, It helps strengthen the immune system and repair your skin.

Vitamin A- It is said that vitamin a will help reduce the oils in your skin, helping your skin from
breaking out.

Water- Drink A LOT of water.
