What a Great Skin Cleanser Should Contain

what a great skin cleanser should have in it

Beauty Quickie: When doing your beauty shopping never be afraid to flip over a product to know what exactly is in it. If you want to look your best, you have to use the best. Unfortunately, not all cleansers are created equal and some will give your skin more assistance than others. If you are in the market for a skin cleanser because you are prone to acne then always look for a product that contains benzoyl peroxide or salycilic acid.

Avocado Hair Mask

Don’t knock it until you try it! Avocados are another power hair food that can benefit your tresses in numerous ways. This week we have decided to write about a few foods that can be applied to your hair to help give it a powerful boost.

Here are just a few of the many benefits that can be derived from avocados:

  • moisturizes dry hair
  • smooths the hair shaft
  • cuts down frizz
  • repairs hair damage

Avocados contain oils that are very similar to the oils that our skin produces which is why the moisturize provided is so perfect for our tresses. This power hair food is also great for our curly/wavy hair girls who wish to gain a little more control of their strands. Since avocado smooths the hair shaft, frizz is decreased giving hair more manageability.

So then, how can this food be utilized on hair? Take a very ripe avocado and mash it up well in order to form a deep conditioning treatment. Apply the mashed avocado to your locks and let it sit for half an hour before rinsing. There you have it ladies, sometimes the best products are found in nature!

Ups and Downs for NFL Week 9

Ups and Downs for NFL Week 9

It’s official; Jerry Jones is the devil.

I am not a Dallas Cowboys fan, but the team owner made his starting quarterback, Tony Romo, board a nine hour flight to London England, in spite of his broken back. Yes, his back is broken since he has two fractures in his transverse process, which is a small bone that protrudes from each side of the vertebrae.

Even on a good day, a long trans-Atlantic flight is not the most comfortable thing to do; I can only imagine how much it must suck to fly that far with a bad back. Especially since the opponent they will be facing in London is the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Surely, the Cowboys should be able to trust backup quarterback Brandon Weeden to lead the team to victory; after all he was once a starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.

Even if they have zero confidence in Weeden to get the job done, do they really want to risk further injury to their starting quarterback just to play against a team with a 1-8 record? Well, if Jery doesn’t care about Romo, why should I?

I guess the conversations about Philip Rivers being a top MVP candidate can be tabled for now. His team got “blowed out” as Emmitt Smith would say, 37-0 losing three games in a row. I have no idea what they were doing right in the beginning of the season or what they are doing wrong now, but if they want to stay in the race for their division they better figure things out quickly.

The same can be said for the San Francisco 49ers. On paper they seem to be a talented team and at times they play like a playoff contender not a pretender. However, they are now 4-4 and 3 1/2 games behind the 7-1 Arizona Cardinals having lost to them in Week 3.

I’m not a believer in Carson Palmer being the guy to take the Cardinals to the big game and he’s just as likely to help them lose a game as to win one. But none of that will matter if the 49ers don’t get their act together and start winning some games.

Can anyone tell me if the Pittsburgh Steelers are for real?

The last two games, Roethlisberger has played lights out, but the first few weeks of the season the team looked like crap. I wish the real Steelers would stand up. But the really crazy thing is that all four teams in the AFC North division are above .500 so far. Who would have thought the race for first place in the division would be so tight? Definitely not me, but I’m still rooting for Brian Hoyer and the Browns.

Robert Griffin III came back from his injury only to end up losing to Teddy Bridgewater and the Minnesota Vikings. They should have let Colt McCoy play again; momentum had to be on his side after that thrilling win he orchestrated over the Cowboys last week.

Griffin seems to be injury prone and can’t stay on the field, but even if he could I’m not sure that would be a plus for the Redskins. I won’t call him a bust just yet but I’m getting closer to slapping that label on him.

Last but certainly not least, major props go to my New England Patriots for laying a beat down on the Denver Broncos.

They were three point underdogs in their own house despite going into the game having won 13 consecutive home games, the longest current streak of any NFL team. Hopefully, the critics will keep picking against them because it seems to help the Patriots continue winning.

I’m fine with that.
