Expert Confirms - DASH Diet as the best diet to Lose Weight Fast
October 12, 20180 Comments
Loosing weight without carbohydrates, stop eating after 6 pm, weigh yourself regularly or take fasting ? 

Those who want to lose weight can quickly lose their mind in the jungle of diets - but not necessarily the extra pounds. Would not it be good if you already knew which diet is the best?


Every year, nutrition experts take a closer look at well-known diets and determine their weight loss favorites.

 According to the US News & World report, the DASH diet came in first place in 2018 - and now for the eighth time.  Her name (DASH) stands for "Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension". 

Why the DASH diet is so recommended? It is "simple to use, nutritious, safe, effective in weight loss and helps against diabetes and heart disease," says the experts.

Is this one is Best Diet?

The DASH diet was not initially developed as a weight loss program. 

The diet should help especially to lower high blood pressure. This is possible, for example, with omega-3 fatty acids and polyunsaturated fats. For example, the DASH diet uses only vegetable oils (rapeseed oil, olive oil). 



In addition, the DASH diet includes lots of fruits and vegetables, nuts , whole grains, less-fat dairy, fish, lean chicken, and protein-rich foods such as eggs and beans. 

On the other hand taboo should be finished products, alcohol, sweets and too much salt.Not only the blood pressure is happy about that. Anyone who takes care not to consume more than 2,000 calories a day can also lose weight with the DASH diet.

5 Beauty Tips for a Perfect Look All Day
October 09, 20180 Comments
Every woman's dream is to have a perfect look all day, but it is not an impossible goal. Just follow these 5 little beauty tips.


It is hard to get up in the morning at dawn, take an hour for daily make-up and after just two hours, you will seem as if you have just woken up or come back from a 48-hour day.



So, we halve the times used in the "makeup and hairstyles" moment and we extend the actual benefits of a perfect beauty treatment , follow these 5 little tricks.

Here's what.

1. Take care of your skin


The signs of fatigue appear first of all on your face and, whether you are in the office or at school, in the gym or running in the park near home, you can not go in the bathroom every half an hour to powder your nose and remove the shiny effect that terrifies and annoys any type of woman.


Fortunately, you can get rid of the imperfection and revive the skin of the face with a spray . Or refreshing, soothing, energizing products, there are many on the market, and with the most different ranges of perfume.

Just choose the product that best suits your skin type. Whatever the commitments that you chase during the day, you just need a moment to take care of your face making it look fresh and rested, as if you were just leaving home.

2. No dark circles or blemishes

Do not forget the concealer to cover dark circles or to run for cover when a " pimple" decides to appear when you least expect it.

If you choose well and respect the natural color of your skin , you will forget about these small imperfections that can ruin your day.

3. The lip gloss should not be missing

Provided that there is a simple and fast way to keep the face always fresh and perfect , you can also go for a bit of makeup to be natural and alluring all day.

A touch of lip gloss , maybe slightly colored, never hurts, and helps to brighten up your smile. 

In addition, a liquid lipstick is great both in summer and in winter. It is easy to apply, also has soothing functions and it is not difficult to find long lasting ones.

4. Water repellent mascara

Last but not least, the eyes reveal your degree of exhaustion. Especially when using poor mascara , which melt as soon as you have a faint smell of moisture in the air.

So, be careful and remember to use good quality products, maybe bio, which guarantee not only a long seal but also water resistance.

5. The timeless appeal of the eyeliner

We remain on the eyes . The thick and long eyelashes are a must for a woman, but why not give a touch of grace and elegance with a thread of eyeliner ?

A trick that adapts to every hour of the day , the thin black line that frames the upper eyelids is the simplest and most effective choice to bring out the eyes to the maximum and gaining in fascination.

So, let's take stock of the situation for a moment. What do you need to have a perfect look all day? 
1. Refreshing face spray,
2. concealer
3. long-lasting lip gloss
4. mascara and 
5. eyeliner to keep close at hand and that, after all, do not take up much space in the bag.

These are the little tricks to follow. Do you want to add some additional advice? Please share in comments !!

5 Ways to Make Your Hair More Shinier or Brighter Naturally - StephneyBlog
October 07, 20180 Comments
We can easily make our hair shinier without trying chemical dyes or bleaches by using some natural ingredients instead. Here's how to get the most out of the results.



Women like to have hair always in order and often use chemical dyes to adjust their colour or to soften it. The problem is that these products contain such ingredients those are not healthy for our skin and hair that makes our hair to dry and damaged them.

Therefore it would be good where ever is possible, to use natural products that make your hair shiny and keep them healthy and strong.

There are several DIY beauty recipes to make your hair shiny that you can prepare comfortably at home without having to go to the hairdresser.

Cool isn't it?

However, please note that, since these are natural ingredients, you can not expect the effect of a traditional blonde tint or chemical shine. The result will depend very much on the basic colour of the hair if these are black or dark brown you cannot expect it to shine like a brown blonde.

I know you are wondering that ingredient through which you can make your hair more shiny and healthy. 😃

Well, These are like the Cassia (Natural Henna), chamomile (daisy-like plants), turmeric, cinnamon and also lemon & honey! However, it is essential to know the DIY recipes in a correct manner.
=============================================================================

1. Cassia (natural Henna)

Using cassia is a great way to give your hair golden shine. In herbal medicine, you often find it under the name of neutral henna and can be used alone or in combination with other herbs or plants such as chamomile or rhubarb (in combination with these plants the shine will be better). 👌

The advantage of Cassia:

  • Strengthen the hairs
  • Makes hair brighter

Ingredients :

  • Hot Water
  • Cassia Powder

Method :

Put the amount (as per you use) of powder in a bowl and slowly pour hot water until the cassia has melted completely (it should not have lumps) and the mixture should become like the consistency of yogurt.
=============================================================================

2. Turmeric (Cucurma)

With turmeric, it is capable of giving blond highlights or intensifying your natural light colour, but you need to take a little care as you risk getting too yellow an effect.

Ingredients :

  • Turmeric Powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Water - 1 Cup

Method :
  • Dissolve turmeric well in hot water, let it cool down and then apply to dry hair.
  • You can keep the mixture from 20 to 120 minutes depending on whether you want a more or less strong effect.
  • Put a cap or cover on your head to better keep the mixture in place.
  • Rinse and then wash your hair normally.
  • The mixture should be repeated every month.


The doses of turmeric that can be used vary depending on the length of the hair and on the basis of the desired effect. We advise you to always start with just one teaspoon of powder by first doing a test on a hidden area of the hair.
=============================================================================

3. Chamomile (Daisy-like flower)


Chamomile is one of the most classic lightening remedies and we can further enhance its effect by subsequently letting the hair dry in the sun (of course this can only be done in summer).

Ingredients :
  • 3 or 4 sachets or loose dried flowers of Chamomile
  • Water
  • Saucepan

Method :
  • Bring the water to boil and add the sachets or dried flowers covering with a saucer.
  • Allow to cool and then pour the solution over hairs.
  • Finally, you can let the hair dry in the sun or naturally without using a hair dryer.
  • Wash them after they dry.

Alternate Method :

Put the infusion of chamomile in a spray container and then spray it over the entire length of the hair. Finally, proceed to the washing as usual.
=============================================================================

4. Lemon


Even the lemon can be an ingredient which helps our hair to shine brighter. However, it should not be used pure but diluted in water.

Ingredients :
  • 2 Lemons
  • 1 Cup Water

Method :
  • Squeeze the lemon and mix it with water
  • Apply it on your hair and leave it for at least 30 minutes.
  • After the time rinsed with water, apply some balm (the lemon tends to dry the hair) and rinse again.
=============================================================================

5. Honey

Honey mixed with balsam is a remedy that can help your hair to shine.

Ingredients :
  • 3 tablespoons of acacia honey
  • 2 Tablespoon neutral balsam

Method :
  • Mix the two ingredients and spread the mixture on the hair as a mask.
  • Keep it for at least 30-40 minutes.
  • Then rinse it and let them be dry naturally.

Tip: To get more shine in hair you can add lemon juice to the mixture.
=============================================================================

6. Cinnamon

To activate its lightening power we recommend using cinnamon mixed with a neutral hair conditioner.

Ingredients :
  • Cinnamon powder
  • Balsam
  • Honey 2/3 tablespoons (optional)

Method :
  • Add the cinnamon powder to the hair conditioner.
  • Mix it until the two ingredients are uniform and reach the right consistency.
  • If you want to have a greater effect, even fabric softener and can also add honey.
  • Then apply on the hair, put a cap and hold for a few hours or even all night.
  • Finally, rinse and proceed to normal washing.
