5 Tips To Make A Blowout Last
Friday, April 26, 2019
Leave a Comment
I used to just wash my hair once a week. Maybe, if I was lucky, I'd go 8 or 9 days. Crazy right?!
Although, ever since I started going to Orange Theory 4-6 days a week, that has changed. I get so sweaty at those workouts, some days I am literally dripping sweat. My head gets soaked, and disgusting. For months I have had to wash my hair about every 3 days because it gets so gross from all the sweat. I've been trying to figure out how to prolong my blowout by using different pony tails, sweat bands, etc. And I think I've finally figured out what works best for me.
I have naturally really curly hair, so I use a curling wand to re-define my curls so my hair isn't as crazy, so it takes some time to wash, dry, and style. I definitely do not want to do that more than twice a week due to time, and frying my hair.
- Use a hair tie that will not crease your hair. I like these and these.
- Put your hair in a high, loose pony tail. If your hair is slicked back too tight it will cause your head to sweat more. This method lets your hair breath a little.
- As soon as you finish working out take your hair out of the ponytail and immediately brush through it. Do not let your hair dry in your wet ponytail.
- Next, grab a hair dryer, and lightly blow cool air on your wet hair until it starts to dry.
- Use more dry shampoo if needed, then style it as you normally would!
Gấc Fruit Is The New Açaí
Saturday, January 26, 2019

Have you guys heard of gac fruit?! Well, it's about time you did because it is AMAZING! It has sooo many health benefits; it's absolutely packed with nutrients. Plus, they're really cool looking. It's like a dragonfruit and a horned melon had a baby. Gac fruit can only be found in Southeast Asian regions, and it's harvested only 2-3 months a year!

There has been research that shows extracts of Gac helped to restrict the blood vessels feeding tumors, starving the cancer and killing it. The high amounts of Lycopene and Lutein in Gac may help stop tumors from growing in the colon, the breasts, and skin. Polyphenols also do their part, preventing normal cells from being damaged and turning into tumors, while also attacking cancerous cells and forcing them to self-destruct. (source)
Lastly, the added electrolytes also help rehydrate you after a workout.. or a night out of drinking. Which I think can come in pretty handy for most of us. These days I can get hungover from just having a glass of wine with dinner. Thank you 30's. You guys feel my pain? Give me all the GacLife!



Now for the taste.. I tried the GacSport which is lemon and electrolytes. It has a very subtle flavor. It is light and refreshing. You can feel it rehydrating and restoring your body as you drink it.
Also, I added some GacLife Sport to my smoothie after Orange Theory the other day and it was reaaaal tasty! I highly recommend it. Maybe I should do a recipe post? What do you guys think?
