Hair mask anyone?

For the past few months, I've been on the hunt for the best at home hair treatment.  I've tried numerous combinations before coming upon this awesome treatment.  You'll likely find all of these ingredients in your kitchen. 
Being that I have color treated hair as well as the fact that I straighten my hair regularly, my hair tends to get super dry...now add the chilly winter air and can we say Sahara desert on my head!  My hair is dry and brittle. 
Anyway, let's get to it!  I've tried numerous combinations of ingredients but one has worked wonders!! 
Here goes......olive oil, 2 egg yolks and a few tablespoons of distilled water.  Mix the 3 ingredients vigorously and massage into your hair from root to tip.  Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap and leave in for 15 minutes.  Wash and shampoo well.
This mask is best for those with dry, brittle hair. If your hair is oily, this is not the hair treatment for you!

Olive oil anyone?

It's no secret that olive oil has been said to be a great for you, inside and out.  Here's a great beauty secret for you using olive oil.  Smear a dab of olive oil under your eyes before bed to get rid of dark circles.  It's better than your eye cream!  Olive oil is an excellent moisturizer and amazing for your hair but try it under your eyes in place of your eye cream for a week and see the difference! 

Extra tip: it's also great to remove your water proof mascara.
