Life style what You choose! #part 2

Life style what you choose!

You are what you eat, drink and how you look at your life. Some people choose to Vegetarian, Vegan, living Organic/ Natural , or some one don't even care.  I wouldn't call myself Vegetarian, but definitely i try to eat organic food free range , its more tasty  and more flavorsome. Eating healthy makes me happy and give's power. I cut down cows milk 1,5 year ago , drinking only cows milk at work with coffee , but otherwise everywhere else i drink almond or soja milk. Love raw food, such as fruit , veg, and fish.  When i cooking some foot i try use less oil. 

In Guernsey we have nice Healthy shop called Hansa, where you can find everything you like and need. Starting from organic tea to dried fruits, milk and toiletry stuff. Jason are one off the comment brand in that health shop, toothpaste, shampoo  shower gel, sun protection or cream.

What else are good here! I can buy food on road side ways or in front of small boutique shops. What people grow in they gardens with love ! Its more tasty and you buy Local. 

Ecover brand- Eco friendly allergy- approved, no nasties, just gentle plant based ingredients.

hair care

This time all about my hair care, how often i have my hair cut, and which shampoo's i use.
Little bit more than 6 month's ago i switch to natural shampoo, which ones don't contain parabens, sodium or sulfates.
Love shampoo what gently cleanses and restores damaged hair. I used to have ombre hair, what definitely damage my hair. Now damage ends are cut off, and i try to keep them healthy as i can! Usual hair cut are must, previously hair cut was 10 April and next one was 8 August. Each 3-4 months i try to got my hair fresh cut, planing next one have in December. Every one need to find wright hairdresser for themselves.

Moroccan oil Treatment

A styling, finishing and conditioning product for all hair types.
  Moroccan oilTreatment is an ultra-light formula which is absorbed by the hair instantly, resulting in a natural, silky finish and brilliant shine without leaving a residue.
  Moroccan oilTreatment has the ability to restore over-processed hair damaged by environmental factors and chemical procedures.
   
I run out off Jason shampoo, but its been ordered and I'm waiting for arrival.

JASON Long & Strong Jojoba Pure Natural Shampoo gently cleanses and fortifies weakened, hard-to-grow-long hair for maximum length without breakage. Natural Jojoba Seed Oil replenishes lost moisture while antioxidant-rich Chamomilla Recutita and Grapefruit Extracts promote healthy hair growth. Yucca Filamentosa Extract and Vitamin B5 strengthen hair to help prevent breakage and split ends as Wheat Protein improves elasticity. Nourished and refortified, your hair grows lustrously long and strong.
No Parabens, SLS or Phthalates. 

Meany others  brands have good shampoo without bad components.

Very good way is to keep your hair healthy are to give nice Massage to your scalp. It will improves the circulation and brings out the natural oils.  
Just don't over clean your hair. Washing it every day it will only dry your hair out. If you wash your hair everyday the shampoo strips the natural oils of your hair.

 One a week i like to use Raw coconut oil just to give extra care to my hair. I massage it to dry hair and leave it for 1-2 hours.

Space, Home and Leaving

Living in Guernsey, one must get used to small space dwelling. I've lived here for nearly five years now, and I’ve had some rather creative living situations. You use space as much You can! I’m not interior designer, but here are seven tips for decorating your own small space and some of my favorite items.
1) Use light colors on the walls and floor. Its gonna make your room feel bigger and brighter.But try to stick with same color pallet, in a small space, a lot of color will be overpowering and its gonna make the room look even smaller. Curtains that blend with the walls create an unbroken line, making a room feel much larger.
 2)Place a mirror opposite a window and it will bounce light around the room, making the space feel airier. The bigger the mirror, the better . And a reflecting light will brightening up a space.
3)Overlooked area can be a great spot to squeeze in an extra accent bean bag or a corner bookshelf, making your room more livable. Tuck a cozy chair in a corner to create an instant reading nest.
4) A multi use things, pallet you can use so many different ways, bed, bench, table or many other ways..We use it as table and Ugas shoes storage. Its easy to make and it large enough for our computer and paperwork.

5) If you renting a place sometimes could be difficult, and you cant hang your pictures to wall without making a hols to the wall. Easy way to do it, is to use a cotton string and  hang them with laundry hooks.

6) Try to reuse things, but for different meaning, such as skate board can be nice computer stool, what gonna give your interior different vibe.
7)Less is more.

We are in next apartment hunt, in less than 4 months time. But we will reuse some of our old ideas in new apartment. I hope there will be more space for us as a individuals and couple.
Soon will be blog about our tips to pack and move a country.
