Tips day: Be beautiful!!!
This Monday 13th March, tips on how to be more beautiful (guys, you can also go ahead and do it!) after a great weekend of partying…..the tips are grandmother recipes that actually work and do not cost a lot of money…

Talked too much, forced your voice because music was too loud? (of course the latter not applicable to our GoL party…)
- Squeeze two lemons and add sugar to it until it becomes a thick preparation. Take 3-4 small spoons (one at the time, let it melt in your mouth, then swallow). You will feel that it burns in the back of your throat a bit, but when it burns, it’s normally for a good cause!

Your skin suffered from make up, sweat?
- Take the rest of the lemon/sugar preparation and use it as a face peeling. Rinse it with luke warm water. You will see how great your skin will look…

Your feet still hurt from too much dancing or because of those lovely new shoes you bought for the weekend?
- Put them in hot water with three hands full of sea salt. Much better now…

Oh and your hair lost that smooth look?
- After your shampoo and before the conditioner, open a bottle of beer and soak your hair with it. Wait 10 minutes and rinse……shinning happy people…

Now with all this, go for a nap or for a good night of sleep with a nice cup of chamomile tea…zzzzzzzz!



I would LOVE to hear anymore granny (not Stef!) recipes you might have!!! Go ahead; feel free to add your secrets!


Best,
Iolly

For Hair.
The beer ones works miracles on blondes and light hair, but on thick and dark ones is a bit too light. So if u want to have wonderfull hair even if they are thick and dark ... mix som olive oil and sesame oil (or another oil that we call Olio di Lino in italian) put it on your hair (advice: only on the lenght and the ends not at the beginning if your hair are oily already). Keep it like this for a while (10-20-30mints depends on how much time u have). then wash normally (tick - use a shampoo with a bit stronger parfume or rinse your hair a lot!) ... dry them. Will be shiny!!!

For the voice ... I only know the Honey remedy. Take a spoon of honey and swallow!

Last granny rememdy in case u have been popping in and out the whole night to smoke and have a bit of a "post-party-cold". Prepare some very very hot milk and 10 seconds before taking it off the heat drop in some (not enough to get drunk!)cognac (not kidding). Drink it before sleeping, will do miracles.Add honey if u like

after a tough weekend partying, take 1/2 cucumber peel it, and chop it up. put the cumcumber in a beaker and add 1 liter of evian. let it sit in the fridge for 15 minutes and drink the mixture. you maybe wanna filter the cucumber pieces out before you drink it. it is wonderfull for your skin.

another thing you can do to refresh your skin is to put 3 liters of milk in your bathwater and add a good amount of honey. it will make your skinn look like new. nice sideffect is that you smell like a yummy cookie, so carefull if your significant other is into sweets.

Is your skin feeling dry and flaky? If so try sesame oil - to be found in every reputable ... supermarket!
Just before you go to bed, put a little on your face after cleansing it and leave it on all night. If you have dry feet you can put a generous amount on your feet (also handy if you’re suffering from a lack of sleep … no one on GOL of course ;) and put on some cotton socks. Do this for a couple of weeks and you’ll soon see the difference. And if you get various comments from your nearest and dearest, upgrade by adding a few drops of rose oil and a few drops of patchouli to your sesame oil. That’ll calm everyone down … :)

Nothing beats professional hair products! Especial in a steam bath, 10 minutes and you can also use some skin products, like a body scrub.
