It’s complicated and time consuming enough to have to meal prep healthy food, fit in your workouts and make time to stay on track with your healthy habits like drinking lemon water and sweating regularly. 

So when we can make it easier in other regards and adopt a few hacks to aid in weight loss, we certainly aren’t going to shy away from it. 

Here are 5 simple hacks to aid in your weight loss journey that won’t take a lot of extra time and effort!

I think I speak for all of us when I say that skin is a top priority in our health regime. We want skin that looks nice, stays nice and ages nicely. 

But many of us aren’t doing enough to ensure that happens, and more than that, perhaps don’t know all the easy, inexpensive things you can do that will improve your skin. 

Have a look at the list below and start taking your skin to the next level:

One of the most popular trends taking the main stage in beauty and health lifestyles is activated charcoal.

Due to activated charcoals potent, natural way of trapping toxins within our body and allowing them to be flushed out, its mainly used during drug overdoses or poisonings. However, activated charcoal is making its way into beauty and health products, and for good reasons.

We as women strive to be a better version of ourselves. One way is through our clothing, our decision on whether to wear makeup, and how we decide to style our hair. However, sometimes overheating our hair, abusing hair dye, and going crazy with the hair products can lead to split ends, which are not cool.

Other ways we tend to develop split ends is through over exposure to the sun or other pollution. Along with that, taking showers that are too hot can be harmful to our hair and our skin. If you’re not getting regular trims, and using the right type of brush, your hair can be getting brittle and weak, which also lead to split ends.

Have no fear, because like always, there are easy and natural ways to cure the dreaded split ends!

Check out these 5 awesome ways to treat split ends:

1. Egg

It may sound gross, but doing a hair mask once or twice a week is actually very beneficial for our hair. Not only are you getting protein from the eggs, but also most of the recipes for the mask require olive oil, which is enriched with vitamins. Here’s a great article from wikiHow, and an easy tutorial from jeemun on YouTube:

2. Beer

This one can go both ways, sometimes it can work or it could possibly not work. The idea of pouring a beer on your head is an interesting one, so why not at least try it? Beer isn’t bad for you anyway – when consumed responsibly – because it contains vitamins and some beers even have Biotin, which is a key vitamin for hair growth. Nature Helps has an entire article dedicated to the pros of doing a beer rinse, plus gives some interesting different mask options.

3. Avocado

Avocados are a great source of vitamin A, D and E which all contribute to strong and shiny hair. Not only that, but avocado is also packed with proteins and nourishing fatty acids, which makes it a great conditioner. Here’s a recipe, and review by Whole Fully. Along with that, here’s a video tutorial by ModaMob:

4. Bananas 

Bananas have tons of minerals and vitamins packed into them so they’re a miracle worker for split ends and other damages done to our hair. Check out this tutorial by Nita Gill for a great recipe and application for the mask.

5. Honey 

An ingredient used in most of the recipes listed above, honey is another amazing treatment to try for split ends. This rad tutorial that mixes coconut oil and honey, by Abbykus, is a great starter. There’s also a great article by Everyday Roots that gives solid recipes that require honey as an ingredient.
