How To Remove Those Ugly Embarrassing Stains

Who likes to walk around with those embarrassing stains? Not Me!

3 - Most Amazing Magical Stain Remover Ever...

Lets face it, there's nothing more unattractive and sloppy looking than dingy stained clothes.
Taking care of your clothes will make them last longer, save you money and will definitely make you look better. No matter how expensive you clothing's are, if they're stained - they will look ugly, unattractive and it'll make you look dirty, even... if they're clean.

Worry no more - ZOTE - Alcohol & Club Soda to the rescue!
This soap bar only costs $0.98 cents and it works like stain busters.
It's amazing to remove difficult stains on all your clothing's. It makes stains disappear right in front of your eyes. It removes those ugly armpit deodorant stains from your shirts and blouse like magic. My daughter Elsie told me about it.  You guys need to try it.

 ZOTE has the basic natural ingredients used to make bath soaps. It's non-abrasive ingredients, which makes it an ideal product to hand-wash delicate garments which may be damaged in the washing machine (such as sweaters, knitwear and underwear), preserving them in good conditions. It's really good to pre-wash shirt necks and cuffs and to remove difficult stains. When you wash your clothes with ZOTE, it smells fresh and fragrant for several days. It has a pleasant aroma from citronella oil, a plant that originally came from Europe, a pleasant smell similar to lime. I absolutely love it. It's a must try!

Stain General Rules, Period!

 Treat it as soon as possible!The quicker you deal with it, the more chance you have to remove it. The longer it remains the tougher it is to remove. Treat your stains with cool water before laundering, make sure it's all out before you dry your garment, if it's not completely out, repeat the treatment until it's out before drying it. But make sure to blot or rub it gently with cool water, so you don't ruin the color of your clothing.

Some More Ideas For Your Stubborn Stains:

So you and your family no longer have to walk around withy stained and dingy looking clothes.

Lipstick:

Blot with baby wipes, or a washcloth moisten with alcohol. I love baby wipes, I always have them around. I use them for everything. They excellent to have in the car for coffee spills  or food drops on your clothes, they work amazingly. Try it.

Blood:

Never use hot water, you'll cook it and it'll never come off. If it's fresh, rinse it repeatedly with ice cold water or rub an ice cube or club soda on it until it comes off. If it's dried use 3 percent hydrogen-peroxide solution.

Oil:

Cover with talk or baby power immediately and allow it to sit about half an hour or so, brush it off apply ZOTE and wash it in the hottest water the fabric can stand.

Ink:

On cotton, gently apply rubbing alcohol to the spot, on polyester, spray the stain liberally with hair spray and pat with a clean dry cloth, then wash with Zote.

Red Wine:

Drench the stain with salt, soak it in cold water until the stain disappears. Wash it as soon as possible. If you're at dinner, soak the spot with club soda until you get home, than wash with Zote.

Grass Tain:  

Rubbing alcohol is a solvent and works wonders on lifting the green pigment from grass and most stains. Soak a sponge with isopropyl rubbing alcohol and gently rub it on the stain. Let it air dry. Rinse with cold water and then wash with ZOTE.

Fabric Dyes:
After you try all these tips, if nothing works, remember you can always change the color of your clothing. That's what I do, sometimes if I really like something and nothing is working, I just change the color of it.

Please let me know if you have any more ideas...

How To Save Money On You Hair Color

Do it yourself is not the problem...

You can spend $10.00 and still get the desired color you want done right

 Just take few minutes and get a little research on how to do it. 

Don't be averse to change, change is good.

If you have a virgin hair and you would like to color your hair you should always get it done professionally. You should never start a color on your own if you don't know what you're doing. Like this lady is saying, it'll cost you much more to fix it. But don't be afraid or averse to change your hair color if you've thinking about it. Change is good. As long as its the change that suits you and you're happy with it.

 Don't never color your hair on the day of the event
You should never color your hair the day of any special event. Just incase it didn't come out right, you'll have time to fix. You should do some research first on the color you want, try it on a small strand first before applying to the entire head. If you feel more comfortable going to a salon for a professional look, ask around for a good colorist, and bring a picture of what you want, and what you don't want. Not every hair stylists are good colorist. Now a days professional salon hair coloring can cost you hundreds of dollars, so make sure you're getting your money's worth.

How to stretch your color and save money
 I can teach you how to get a saloon look for fraction of price, or I can help you stretch your saloon hair coloring as long as you want it, and save some money for that beautiful pair of shoes you want.

When you first color your, do not shampoo it for at least 3 days, that helps to lock in the color.

To prevent fading and dryness, try not to wash it everyday, if you need a fresh up use dry shampoo or co-wash, by rubbing a little bit of conditioner on wet hair and rinse.

How To Save Money On Drugstore Box Dye:
Many people wastes so much money on hair color because they don't know these little trick I'm about to give you.

Mix half amount of your drugstore box dye, if you need more than mix more,  mix one table spoon of each. Once you mix the dye you must use it within 24h, but if you do not mix it, even though the content is open you can still use it 1-2 months later, and it's still good. I do it all the time.

How To Save Money On The professional Tube Dye:

Mix 2oz of dye (half of the tube) + 2oz of cream peroxide, if you need more mix a table spoon of each. 
A single box or tube could last for up to three applications depending on how much you use and the length of your hair.

Save Money On Your Touch Ups:
You can use Sharpie markers, crayons or mascara to cover up your roots for couple of weeks.
They stay in place until you wash your hair.




What would you like, some Fried-lights or Highlights?
A single process coloring or a little touch up is ok to do it yourself, but when it comes to Highlights
I think that's asking for trouble. You can severely damage your hair by over-processing it and end up with some fried-lights instead of highlights. But if you would like a little highlights, try this L'ORĖAL Touch-on Highlights home kit. It only costs about $13.00. Just put on this finger bristle gloves on and glide the color to the strands of the hair you want to be highlighted. That simple!

It only costs about $13.00.


Suave Professional Color Care Shampoo
Use color shampoo to keep your color vibrant and it's also antioxidant-enriched to protect your hair from UV rays that can cause major damage. 

It only costs $3.00


 Color Protect & Repair Therapy Conditioner
After coloring or highlight your hair you should always use a color protect and repair conditioner such as these here, to prevent breakage, split ends and sun damage, and also for a soft manageable and glossy radiance look and feel.

It only costs $7.00

It only costs $13.00

Do It Yourself Salon Quality Hair Coloring

How to get perfect salon quality hair coloring

                             Few Guidelines to go by when coloring your hair at home:



Organic color is far superior to any hair coloring I have ever used. The color is beautiful and shinny, it does not fade, it doesn't make my scalp dry and itchy, and it lasts longer.

Organic color is all natural, no harsh chemicals and it's ammonia-free.





Before you slap that tint on your hair you must know  these very important step:

 1- make sure your hair and scalp is healthy

2-make sure you know what shade you trying to achieve

3- make sure to go 1-2 levels at the time, whether lighter or darker
4- if you're not sure how it's gonna look, try it on a small strand, let it dry completely

5- apply vaseline around your hairline to avoid stains.

6- Part your hair in four sections, this will ensure that entire hair will color evenly. Apply the dye on each section evenly and then join them together.

7- And don't forget to use gloves.



                                                                          
Tools you must have:

A large tooth comb and a tail comb to divide your hair
Hair clippers to hold your parted hair in place
A mixing bowl
And a dye application brush






What's the difference between 10, 20, 30 & 40 level of cream developer or Peroxide. Chose the cream one, its easier on the hair  it's like built in conditioner.

10- will lift your hair 1X the color
20- will lift your hair 2X the color
30 - will lift your hair 3X the color
40- will lift your hair  4X the color





Professional Permanent Hair Color Tube 
With professional tube ones, you have more choices, because you control what and how many level you want to go, 10, 20, 30 or 40.

Just mix equal amount of cream developer and tint.








What's the difference between boxes of Drugstore hair coloring
                         and Professional Hair color Tube
They can both be a chaos if you don't know how to use them.





Whole Head:
For the entire head, apply to roots first, let it sit for 20 min, and then comb it through and let it sit for another 10 min. And then wash.

Touch-Up:
Coat ends with conditioner, to avoid over processing, and even if color drips it won't absorb.



For Gray:
Gray hair is very resistant so, hair color needs to process longer.
If your gray is coming up too light, or the hair color is not covering the gray, or is nor lasting long enough, let the color stay on your roots for at least 40 minutes or longer. Or try mixing a drop of this Gray Magic to your color. It really works.

Blonde Color:
You have to be careful, if you trying to go darker because blonde color can be very tricky. Wether you're naturally blonde or processed blonde, one color application is not enough because you will most likely come up green. First decide what color tone you want, red base, golden, or brunnet and then go up one shade at the time until you get the desire shade.

If you have golden blonde hair, your hair tone is either red, orange, or yellow warm tones.
So, if you use a cool colored tone like ash, your hair might turn green.
 Tone refers to whether a hair color is warm or cool. The warm (golden) colors are red, orange and yellow. You may have noticed on some hair color boxes, there are references to "medium warm brown" or "natural golden blonde". This means the undertone of the color is warm - either red, orange, or yellow. These can be used to give hair a warmer look.


"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quite waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;" Psalm 23 1- 4

Timeless... Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas

Who doesn't like gifts? I know I do!
I love to receive gifts of corse... but I love to give them much more than I love to receive.
I have always been like this, I love to see the expression on the person's face. I only give a gift to a person if I really like it, and would use it. Don't give a gift - just to give.

"A gift opens the way the way for the giver and ushers him into the presence of the great". Prov 18:16

Sometimes the word I love you just doesn't cut! :-)))

To me a gift has no price, it could be as little as a $1. It's the thought and the meaning behind it that counts. I'm not saying a gift should be a $1, I'm just saying I do not valorize a gift by it's tag. Just because someone can't afford to give you an expensive gift, doesn't mean they don't love you.

Gifts are welcome into our life anytime of the year especially for Christmas.
You shouldn't wait for Christmas to give a gift to someone you love or admire.
