Yes, I'm also interested in kinesiology myself..
I was @ Whole Foods quite a while back, there was a lady there respresenting a chiro, she had me weigh on a scale that weighs both sides of your body. One side weighed more, now I forgot why, I guess the muscles more developed from carrying more on that side?
I had a problem w/my left shoulder, I do more stretches now, because I sleep curled up on that side. I try to sleep on my back, but it's much harder to fall asleep.

Do any of you ladies know of a website that sells good quality, attractive wigs? I hate having to do my hair for cam everyday. The constant styling has really taken a toll on the quality of my hair.

Hey Maryberries,
Raquel Welch and Vivica Fox has some great wig lines. They are both of great quality and have some great colors. Also, you can try Eva's wigs as well.:) I hope this helps.

I'm on a fermented foods kick..sauerkraut, kombucha tea, Keifer. I hear it makes your skin glow and I'm already seeing a big difference..between that and a good cardio session everyday it's done so much. I had a lot of cheek hollowness after my big weight loss it its plumping back up !!

Wigs made for Women Of Color tend to be better quality because they're built with several wearings in mind. (As opposed to a costume wig.)

That's great but be careful not to overdo it! I drank a lot of kombucha once and after a week I wound up with a case of thrush on my tongue! Had to wind up taking anti yeast pills. Oh it was so weird.

^^That is very interesting to me, especially because I am really into kinesiology and in creating and maintaining structural integrity. I am someone who has a lot of imbalances and even my orthodontist(who has a holistic approach) said my body is tilted to the right.
I think my body tilted like that because my uterus is tilted. Tilted uterus can cause lower back pain. But also I had many traumas small thought but they all add up.
When a practitioner works with body eventually he will tell all the traumas which affected your body. I didnt tell to my therapist that I hit my head once, and that my uterus is tilted. I thought it was not a big deal but it was.

Kombucha has yeast in it. I think kefir does not. Person with regular yeast infection should not drink it until problem fixed.

Life hack for those who suck at painting their nails

Glitter nail polish is super forgiving to uneven painting. And it tends to last longer than when I put regular polish on my nails. I realize this might not be very helpful to those with jobs where you can't have glitter nails, but for a broke college student like me, it definitely helps

With home made Kombuca, you're suppose to take it in a shot glass and not everyday. I don't remember how many times it's recommended, but I do know that not everyday.

Well I found out more about my situation; I was wondering if I was having any pelvic issues so I watched a video on lateral pelvic tilt and I definitely have it going on. The instructor said to just look in the mirror at yourself and see if one hip is higher than the other, sure enough when looking I see that at the spot where my waist turns into my hip my hip begins higher up on the right side than it does on the left. The instructor said that a lot of times too the side with the higher hip will have a lower shoulder(because the tight muscles pulling the hip up will pull the shoulder down) and sure enough when I look I see that my neck is actually longer on the right side because the trapezius is being pulled lower than it is on the left. The final confirmation is that when I do the corrective stretches I have significantly less flexibility on the right side. So basically all of the muscles on the right side of my torso are too tight, so I'm not surprised that the right implant sits differently. Oh and I think it explains why my orthodontist said I tip to the right too.

People over estimate muscles, they protect BUT connective tissue(fascia) is what holds and actually makes the biggest impact on our posture and etc.
Now I also remind that because of rotation my leg did the muscle in front went complitly asleep it didnt listen to the body anymore, didnt recive signals from a nerve system.
Also I lost half of inch from my height but some people actually get taller.
Just in case this therapy is very relaxing, better than a massage. After session I have so much energy, good mood, my voice even change.

Has anyone done a halo facial before? Well halo laser technically.

I've been doing hydrafacials, microneedling, and photofacials. So far I love the hydrafacials and microneedling I really think I'm seeing results from them. But I haven't noticed anything with the photofacials which is really annoying. Because you have to wait 3 weeks between treatments so I feel like it's a waste.

The halo I think is like the photo but on steroids and supposedly hurts really bad. The girl I go to said she recommends you take a xanax before lol

Lol yes!! I was drinking 1-2 a day and next thing you know I felt like I had a hair stuck on the back of my tongue that wouldn't go away . Looked at my tongue in the mirror and realized I had thrush!! Ew! Found out I overdid it on the kombucha tea I bought (didn't make it mtself) . Took yeast fighters pills and it went away. Oh it was so weird. Just thought I should give a head's up so nobody else has to go through it. Good that you're taking it slow. Don't do what I did! Lol!

Damn I drink bottles of kombucha and have no problems, I was even brewing it at home for a while and still had no problems. I only buy one kind though, not because I know it's healthier or anything but because I like the taste, this brand in this flavor: http://happymart.co/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/i/m/img_1631.jpg

I think some store bought kombucha producers do add more sugar to it.

I started using the glitter over my polish ( pedicure only) about a year ago.
It does make my pedicure last much longer.
I always need to have great looking toes, for my foot fetish guys on cam.

If anyone is trying to grow their hair, Viviscal+rosemary oil works wonders!

How long have you been taking the Viviscal? How much of an improvement did it make in new hair growth? I'm trying to encourage new hair growth after some hair loss in 2015 due to extreme stress. Thanks babe. :)

I just used www.retress.com this conditoner today - you should really check it out. It's sold as a kit (serum, vitamins, shampoo, conditioner) OR separately @ Sephora.
It's botanic, & developed by a female dermatologist who had her own probs w/hair loss.
My scalp's been bothering me since I had last dye experience, & it's helped. I used the conditioner, put a bit of it near my scalp since it's so dry, & it really helped, wasn't too oily or anything

I've been taking it since last March. Both I and my hair lady noticed a difference in thickness and in length. You can find it on eBay for a better price. They are high in iron but for me that was okay bc I was anemic for a while there. They say to take 2 a day but one a day is ok too. My skin even looked better, and my eyelashes grew too! Makes the rest of your hair grow fast too, so beware lol. My bottom lashes are way more obvious now. I love Viviscal. Gotta get me some more soon. Use it with Rosemary oil and your hair will grow like a weed!

I looked up the ingredients in Viviscal, and found out that they are not vegan (they contain shark ingredients.) So I did more research and discovered an all-natural vegan hair supplement called Hair La Vie's Revitalizing Hair Blend. I just ordered it, so hopefully it will work as well as Viviscal. I will report back later how well it works for hair growth.

This is what I ordered: https://hairlavie.com/product/hairlavie

It has excellent reviews, so I'm hopeful.

For tooth whitening, I have been brushing my teeth with a mixture of coconut oil, baking soda, and turmeric. I use a soft toothbrush and leave it on for 5 minutes, then rinse. After that, I brush again with hydrogen peroxide, leave on for 5 minutes, then rinse again. Let me tell you, it works. My teeth are getting whiter!!!

Gorgeous, thick hair + white teeth= beauty & success!


Edit: Don't use the hydrogen peroxide too often, as it burns your gums. I'm thinking of only using the hydrogen peroxide twice a week, and using the coconut oil/baking soda/turmeric every night before bed.

I do the same thing but without baking soda. brushing with a charcoal once a week.

Thanks for sharing. I've been a vegetarian since I was 17, and am 43 now. The thought of eating shark pills grossed me out, but my hair was in dire need of help, so I did what I felt I had to do. Im going to look into your vegan option. Let me know how it goes!

I finally tried St. Tropez self tanner and the color looks amazing. I had low expectations, but I was looking at myself in the mirror as I was lifting yesterday and I was like daaaaamn. BUT it gave me a rash all over my upper body. It's day two of the rash and it's settled down but I'm still taking benadryl.

Ugh, should I even try another one?

Yea, you're allergic. Next time, see if you can try putting a little bit of whatever you're interested in, overnight (like a patch test type of thing) to test for any reaction like that..maybe there's some hypoallergenic tanners.

I'm trying to find a great long-wearing foundation that doesn't require primer and doesn't look like a mask.

BB creams and whatnot get too oily over the course of an 8-hour workday..
