Traditions all the way

                                      "May traditions always be kept" 

For a couple years we have been making our own ( healthier ) Xmas treats. I took a few pictures while my gorgeous mom was cooking the yummiest of treats. Wish you were here? I know, and that's the reason I am putting this post together.
Merry Christmas to all my readers, get excited because in 2014 this blog will become something a bit different, so stay tuned for that.

                              "Que las tradiciones perduren en el tiempo"

Desde hace unos años, hacemos nuestros propios dulces de Navidad en mi casa, que por supuesto son más sanos.  Me dediqué a tomar unas fotos durante mi labor de pinche, mientras mi preciosa madre cocinaba lo más rico que habréis visto en vuestras vidas. ¿Que pena que no estéis aquí, no? Lo se, y pienso dejar de dar envidia a la voz de ya, pero tú tienes que echar un vistazo a la obra de arte que os dejo aquí.

    Feliz Navidad a todos mis lectores y no paréis de visitarme porque para 2014 el blog va a tener ciertos cambios que no os podéis perder bajo ningún concepto.

INGREDIENTS

½ cup low fat Greek yogurt

1. ¼ cup milk 
2. ¼ cup orange juice
3. 1 cup fresh organic strawberries, hulled
4. ½ orange, peeled

NOTES: If you use normal Greek yogurt it turns out a bit too filling for my own taste, so use low fat if you would like to eat something else with it.

You can also use frozen strawberries, but the more natural, the better. 

Honey can be changed for sugar but I like honey better ;)

Let your hair Shine On ;) 10 Commandments for super shiny

Hi Dolls! S are you ready to rock your crazy shiny hair and drive some hotties crazy? I know you are and with this 10 commandments you are gonna own their sight ;)

1. Use heat: At the salon, the stylists usually put you under the dryer during treatments to open your hair's cuticles; so slather on conditioner, pop on a shower cap, and blast it with your hair blow-dryer.
2. Detox your hair: Use a clarifying shampoo once a week to get rid of hair-dulling buildup.
3. Comb properly: Use a paddle brush or even a wide-tooth comb on DRY hair to distribute the natural oils from roots to ends.
4. Go Ionic: Ionic hair tools every now and then, not only make you stay away form flyaways but also give your hair a very sexy sheer.
5. Eat  right: Almonds are an amazing beach snack so grab those and rock your beachy waves.
6. Rinse with cold: It will seal the cuticle for a shine surface. A final blast from your dryer's cold setting gives your hair even more shine
7. Squeeze out water: After you shampoo make sure you get rid of all the excess water. This is so simple but it will make your conditioner work even better!
8. Towel-dry-gently. Patting firmly from roots to ends but being really careful with your hair you do not want to damage it yourself!
9. Lighten up: Look for lightweight styling products that boos your shine without being overpowering.
10. 10. Use a mask: I recommend looking for argan oil deep conditioning mask, which can get quite expensive but I found one for a reasonable price at target ( Check out the first image number 10)

Hope you guys like it, please let me know your secrets for super healthy hair and give More ideas for posts on the comments too or in my e-mail shineonbyandrea@gmail.com
