5 easy and quick tips to grow your hair REALLY long:

Hey everyone. This is the dream of all most every girl to have long thick hair but alas a very few of us have silky and long hair. Today I am going to share some easy quick tips with you all which will help you grow your hair quickly.

1. Regular trimming:

Although getting regular trims to snip splits won't make your hair actually grow faster, it will keep tips looking healthy and prevent splits from working their way up strands, requiring you to chop hair off more often. "If you wait so long that splits are causing your hair to break off high up on the strand, your hair will actually be shorter than if you get consistent trims," Townsend says, who suggests asking your stylist to take around just an eighth of an inch off every 10 to 12 weeks to prevent extreme split ends before they start.

2. Use a Conditioner whenever you shampoo:

"If your hair is wet, that means you have to condition it," Townsend says. "Over time, from coloring and heat styling, strands start to get thinner at the bottom." Conditioner helps replace the lipids and proteins inside the hair shaft, "as well as seal the cuticle to help prevent more damage from happening so that you can get your hair to grow longer and look healthier," he says.

3. Apply an oil or mask treatment weekly. 

Because hair that touches your shoulders or beyond can be several years old and most likely needs more TLC than normal conditioner. Townsend suggests using moisture-based masks and oils weekly. "I make a natural oil treatment and give it to all of my clients to use pre-shampoo," Townsend says. (His easy recipe: 1 cup of unrefined coconut oil mixed with 1 tablespoon each of almond, macadamia and jojoba oil.) Because oils can leave a residue on hair, he says to apply it to damp hair, leave it on for 10 minutes, then shampoo and condition like normal. "These oils are able to fill strands up with fatty acids and then, when rinsed out, using regular shampoo helps seal them inside hair," Townsend says, adding that Kate Bosworth, Diane Kruger, and Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen are fans. Not into DIY? Try an oil-based hair treatment instead.

4. Brush your hair like it's spun from gold.

Constant brushing can cause physical harm to your hair. "When you detangle wet hair, be sure to start from the bottom and work your way up — we often instinctually go from the scalp down but that just brings small tangles into one large knot and can cause you to lose a lot of hair," Townsend explains. He also suggests boar bristle brushes are good at distributing your scalp's natural oils down your hair and being extra-gentle on strands too.

5. Do a cold-water rinse at the end of each shower.

"This really does help to grow hair and keep long hair healthy for longer," Townsend says. "Cold water lays down the outer layer of hair more smoothly, which helps prevent moisture loss, snags and heat damage — you only need to do it for a few seconds, but this one extra step over time can make a huge difference."

So these were some simple tips and tricks to get long silky tresses. I hope they were helpful.

Attract whatever you want!!

Hello world,

Well this is just a short post about attracting what you want and by that I mean literally everything!!!
We all have a heard a lot about The Law Of Attraction. According to it you attract those things in your life which hold the most important position in your thoughts. In short, your thoughts decide your future! I know to some it may sound a bit weird but in the end what really matters is your thought process. Just try this in a difficult situation. Try to remain positive that no matter what everything is going to be fine, you would really feel a difference in the results yourself. A lot of people have tried to manifest their desires but with little or no success. The reason behind this is that no doubt they do whatever they should be doing but the main secret behind the LAW OF ATTRACTION is your state of mind while manifesting all what you want. If you are in a tensed or stressed state of mind while manifesting, your chances of success are less, but on the other hand if you try to just remain positive under any circumstance and trust that the UNIVERSE is listening to you and that your wish will be answered then you can get whatever you want!!
You came to this site not by chance but the UNIVERSE has brought you here. So just keep your thoughts positive, happy and loving for easy manifestations. If through this post I have inspired even a single soul on earth, I would be more than happy. For any questions or comments write to me below. You can also share your Law Of Attraction stories here.

NYX Intense Butter Gloss Review and swatches:

Hello my lovelies! Today I will be reviewing NYX Intense Butter Gloss which is the new formulated version of NYX butter gloss. It comes in 12 beautiful shades for Spring 2015. I picked up the shade "Apple crisp" which is a bold, bright, medium red with cool, blue undertones and a creamy, glossy finish.

It had rich, opaque color coverage that applied smoothly and evenly without pulling into lip lines. To me the texture of the NYX intense butter gloss felt absolutely divine.

Compared to the earlier version they are thicker, more pigmented, and they actually lack the beautifully buttery texture of the originals. I was a little disappointed they didn’t have that same light buttery texture of the originals.

Over some time, they tend to develop a bit tackiness and lasts 4 hours on me. It transfers a bit and I would say they are not like very comfortable to wear. I mean they felt a bit heavy and thick glossy on me.:((

I liked the earlier version more because it was light and was comfortable to wear. On that note I will say these are nicely formulated in their own right as well and have a longer wear, more pigmentation, and a texture that’s very, very nice but just NOT as nice as the original formula. Sorry, I just want to stress that they feel so much different compared to the original Butter Gloss texture. One more thing, since these glosses are super pigmented just beware of the potential smearing of the color. 
To sum it all up, I would say if you are looking for buttery gloss which is very pigmented and lasts on for long then you can definitely consider buying these. As for me, I will try some other shade and then review it on my blog soon, so stay tuned!!!
Till then take care.

JLo’s Bronde Blowout: Get The Look

JLo’s hair looks unbelievable! While we’re pretty sure she had a team of L'oreal hairstylist and colorist helping to create this voluminous look, you can still get a vixen sleek blowout at home — all by yourself.
Try using L'oreal Sleek It Iron Straight Heat spray before your next at-home styling session. Spray it on damp hair before blow drying with a round brush, or use it on dry hair before heat styling. The lightweight formula blocks humidity and frizz for JLo level sleekness while protecting your hair for smooth styles with lots of body!
We also can’t ignore Jennifer’s flawless makeup look. She was as gorgeous as ever with a deep bronzy smokey eye, and the dark colors of her eyeshadow were balanced out by a pretty, subtle pink lip.
We are obsessed with Jennifer’s new campaign, and the beautiful bronde hair trend isn’t going anywhere! What do you think of her look??

Tips for guaranteed SUCCESS in anything you do:

Hello my beautiful people! It is a lovely morning as I write this post.. Today I decided to share some of my secrets for success which if you follow will surely guarantee success in all your endeavors. I have held some seminars and lectures on 'How to motivate yourself to succeed' and over the years i have developed some strategies that have worked for me as well as my friends and co workers in achieving their goals.  But before we discuss the strategies to succeed , I want you to firmly believe that your performance is not only based on your ability but also your motivation. And here in this post I will be mainly concentrating on sharing with you some of my best motivational strategies. So without any further delay, let us begin!

The first thing which we need to do is change our approach when we are struggling to achieve something. Here I am reminded of Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of motion which says: Body at rest tend to remain at rest : some people simply are not motivated enough to take any action. So the question now is how to get started? For starters, you can simply set a deadline like I am not going to sleep or rest till I find a job or for students " finish this chapter"! But setting a deadline is a short term strategy and if you are constantly under pressure it can soon become demotivating and that is not what we want right? There can be some reasons as to why you are not taking any action and waiting for things to happen on their own. These reasons can be A)Habit B) No means at hand C) perceived cost is too high D) You may be lying to yourself about what you want!!!!

Who said you have to be the best in everything you do? Not being athletic enough or smart enough or artistic enough or talented enough, doesn't mean you can't play a sport or make the honor roll or take amazing/artistic photos or sing/dance. And if you believe you can't do something because you aren't good enough, well then you believe in nonsense, which is holding you back!  Let me share my little story with you guys. There is a prestigious exam in my country clearing which is no joke! A lot of fellows from my class did not clear it after so many attempts! But I was determined to succeed and I not only cracked it but also got a very good rank. It is not that I am super intelligent or something but I had this strong notion in my head that things will happen the way I want them to happen. Our brain begins to believe what we want it to believe. Had I thought I cant do it just because other people failed, I would have surely failed. Rather I thought I would surely succeed no matter what and I didn't even once think about my failure. This led me to success and there was no looking back. 

Another key concept with success is commitment. Commitment is absolutely necessary in order to achieve goals. You can say you will do something, but until you actually make a decision to commit to it and follow through with the relevant steps, you will most likely not see progress and achievement towards that desired outcome. 

Strategies to succeed:

 1. Visualize you success:
Think about your goal, how will you feel after achieving it? Who all will rejoice with you after your success? Trust your gut feeling when it says "You can do it:!

2. Create healthy competition with yourself:
One of my favorite approaches! If someone doesn't believe you can do it, then prove that person wrong. How? By showing them that you can achieve that goal, and even exceed that goal. Go after exceeding your expectations and the expectations of those who don't support you. Show yourself and them otherwise!  Repeat this mantra in your mind" I am going to step up and prove everyone wrong".

3. Don't forget to reward yourself along the way:
You should reward yourself along every little step you achieve towards your goal. This will keep you motivated. Have a theme song to get you psyched about the opportunity and the steps towards your goal! 

Having said all this it is not only visualization, theme song and the mantra alone which will make you succeed! You will need to follow through with the necessary actions to achieve your goal.So get up, get started! A whole new world of opportunities and success awaits you!!!!
