              The advice I will give others who wanted to go natural is to be patient and moisture is the key to successful hair growth. To live a more natural based lifestyle  you should stay away shampoos that have Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Sodium Laureth Sulfate  is an ingredient that can strip your natural moisture from your hair, which makes it dry. Natural hair needs moisture.  Any conditioner that is thick and creamy is great for natural hair also.

Great Natural Bathroom Necestites Anyone can make:)

 Many store bought products for basic bathroom necessities can be made naturally from the comforts of your own home.  The two bathroom essentials we will go over in this article are , toothpaste, and mouth wash .

 If you have a mouth...odds are if you have good hygiene you are cleansing you teeth on a regular basis. What better methods to do this than you use your very own fluoride free toothpaste recipe.

Natural Toothpaste

Ingredients
Baking Soda
Coconut Oil
Glass container with lid
Optional ( pepperment oil, spearamint oil)
Small bit of Stevia for sweetness

Directions
Mix a half and half ratio of your choice of baking soda and coconut oil in a glass container . Add a small drop of peppermint or spearmint oil to this mixture. Combine a pinch of stevia to this mixture and seal jar. Now you can have a natural antibacterial based toothpaste and  fresh breathe you made all by yourself:)

Natural Mouthwash

Ingredients

 Unsweetened Cranberry juice concentrated extract ( you can purchase this from a health food store)
Water

Directions
Mix 5 teaspoons of cranberry juice extract per one half cup of distilled water. Viola!! instant effective natural mouth wash. (Note: This mouthwash is safe enough to accidentally swallow , but I don't not recommend making a habit of this).

Never have enough on tips on loving yourself ;)

Tips to Love Yourself

1. Turn the Negative Into Positive

   • Most people have something that they do not like about themselves, but some people will never actually do anything about it. If you have things about yourself you do not like, change them. All it takes is for a strong determination to change something. Only you have the power to change the outcomes in your life.

   Acknowledge Your Good Qualities

   • Every day, write down a minimum of five things that you love about yourself. Positive affirmation can make a big impact when it comes to learning to love yourself more. Focusing on the positive a lot of times helps diminish negatives qualities we may have.

   Eliminate Guilt and Regrets

   • Having guilt and regrets can prevent you from loving yourself fully. Concentrate on the present and realize that whatever mistakes you may have made are in your past. Everyone makes mistakes and all you can do is be a better person, not repeat the mistakes again, and love yourself for who you are.

   Focus on Fun

   • Instead of focusing on the negative, focus on enjoying your life. When you concentrate on having fun and improving yourself, you can love yourself even more before you know it. You will realize that you are a fun person that people like to be around and there is no reason for you to not love yourself.

   Improve Your Body

   • One reason people may not love themselves is that they feel that they do not have the body they always dreamed about. As an alternative for being negative about your body, replace it with being positive and being committed to changing it for the better. Eliminate junk food from your home and replace it with snacks that are good for you, such as fruits and vegetables. Find an exercise partner and stick with your routine.
