13 Reasons to Use Apple Cider Vinegar!
Recently I was watching the news about apple cider vinegar. I honestly never heard about it but it talked about so many great benefits that it has. So I wanted to share with you 13 reasons why you should start using apple cider vinegar.
First off, What is apple cider Vinegar?
According to Wikipedia, Apple cider vinegar, otherwise known as cider vinegar or ACV, is a type of vinegar made from cider or apple must and has a pale to medium amber color. Unpasteurized or organic ACV contains mother of vinegar, which has a cobweb-like appearance and can make the vinegar look slightly congealed. ACV is used in salad dressings, marinades, vinaigrettes, food preservatives, and chutneys, among other things. It is made by crushing apples and squeezing out the liquid. Bacteria and Yeast are added to the liquid to start the alcoholic fermentation process, and the sugars are turned into alcohol. In a second fermentation process, the alcohol is converted into vinegar by acetic acid-forming bacteria (acetobacter). Acetic acid and malic acid give vinegar its sour taste.
1. Apple cider vinegar can detoxify your home.
Using Apple cider vinegar can decrease the unatural chemical in our homes and our lives.
2. It can make your hair shine.
Want to make your hair super shiny? Apple cider vinegar can be used as a rinse for your hair after shampooing, and will boost your hair's body and shine. You can use any bottle, even your old shampoo bottle, fill it with 1/2 a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a cup of cold water. Pour the solution through your hair after shampooing several times a week to see dramatic results.
3. Natural apple cider vinegar regulates the pH of your skin.
Apple cider vinegar can be used as a natural toner. So you won't have to spend money on a regular toner.You can do this at night after washing your face , and in the morning before you apply your moisturizer. A dab of apple cider vinegar can also be left on the skin overnight to fade age spots or acne scars. It is also recommended to treat warts.
4. It can remove stains from teeth.
Rub teeth directly with apple cider vinegar, and rinse with water.
5. It can soothe sunburnt skin.
Add a cup of apple cider vinegar to your bath, and soak for 10 minutes to eliminate discomfort from sunburn.
6. Apple cider vinegar can be used as a natural aftershave.
Fill a bottle with equal parts apple cider vinegar and water, and shake before applying to the face. So this is perfect for people who have sensative skin.
7. It's an all-natural massage treatment.
Rubbing apple cider vinegar on your hands and feet will give massage-like benefits and relief to tired hands and feet.
8. Apple cider vinegar can help you loss weight.
Just add 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to 16 ounces of water daily. This can be sipped throughout the day. Data shows some limited, yet significant, weight loss benefits from sustained daily intake of acetic acid (which is a main ingredient in apple cider vinegar).
According to a 2009 study published in Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, it was found that subjects that consumed acetic acid for 12 weeks experienced significant declines in body weight, abdominal fat, waist circumference and triglycerides. Triglycerides contribute to the bad cholesterol that we want to avoid.
9. Apple cider vinegar can help you gain energy.
Drink few times a day for a natural boost of energy!
10. It can help you detox.
As part of balancing the body's pH, apple cider vinegar creates an overall detoxification of the body. Research shows that it can help stimulate cardiovascular circulation and help detoxify the liver.
11. ACV can help you reduce heartburn.
Though it might seem like an oxymoron to treat stomach acid with an acid-containing vinegar, there is research suggesting that apple cider vinegar works by correcting low acid, Which will reduce heartburn. Natural remedy experts say you should begin to feel relief very shortly after taking a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar followed by a glass of water. Note that apple cider vinegar will not give relief if you have an ulcer.
12. The use of apple cider vinegar is effective in repelling fleas on your pets.
One part vinegar and one part water can be sprayed on your pets fur and rubbed in generously to the skin. Saturate the entire coat, and continue every day for a few days to a week. Any flea infestation will surely be gone.

Ulta Products Review
Its one of my favorite holidays and I can't wait to watch horror movies all day lol Anyways, as promised (sorry again it took me soo long) I'm finally going to be doing a review on the products that I previously bought from Ulta. The first product that I'm going to mention is Ouidad Wave Create Sea Spray. I was so excited to use this spray because I've heard so many great reviews about it. I also wanted to try out a product that will give my hair that will give my hair that beachy look. I tried this product a couple of times and it didnt make my hair have that beachy look. It still looked very poofy and not wavy. I followed all of the directions that it said and it did not work. The only pro that I would give it is that it smells sooo good, it has like a coconut scent.There is another product which is the texterizing taffy, which is like a paste. I have thick hair so I think the taffy should work because it comes in a paste form, instead of a spray form. I will update all of you on how the taffy works for me when I purchase it. On to the next product, Paul Mitchell Extra-Body Daily Boost. Where do I begin with this? I love this product; It definitly does what it saids. It give you so much volume in your hair and it doesnt leave any residue in your hair at all. I will continue to purchase this product and recommend it for any girl that wants to add alittle volume to their hair. If you like this review please comment down below and one again have a happy and safe Halloween :)

Benefit POREfessional Review !
Hey guys, so as promised I'm going to be doing a review on the Benefit POREfessional. This my first out of 3 reviews that I promised from my Ulta haul post. So if you haven't heard of the Benefit POREfessional before, its a pore minimizing primer. There has been a bunch of reviews on YouTube on it and let me tell you this primer is a miracle worker. As mentioned before, I have really large pore on the bottom of my eyes. So when I first heard of this product, I thought it was too good to be true. When I tried it myself, I knew all the beauty gurus on YouTube weren't kidding. After I tried it for a few days I definitely noticed a diffrence in my skin. It definitely minimized the appreance of my pores and it makes my skin very soft. When I put it on with my foundation, it makes my skin look flawless. I understand now why the regular size one cost $30. Its really worth the money and I will go and buy one very soon. I really recommend this product. I will be trying out other primers to compare but I know that the Benefit POREfessional is going to be my holy grail for primers. Like I mentioned before, I'm going to be doing other reviews from my Ulta haul so stay tuned for that :)

Sleek Straight Hair
I've been always obsessed with sleek straight hair but I used never have luck achieving it. I've tried everything from sprays to gels; they would just make my hair very dry and itchy. I also tried straightening irons but most of them made my hair dry and poofy. Finally, have have found two miracle workers to make my hair sleek and straight. I recently got the Olive Oil Incredibly Rich Oil Moisturizing Hair Lotion and the Remington Pearl S9500 Ceramic 1" Flat Iron, which can be found at Walmart. You can use the hair lotion after you get out the shower. It works best after you put conditioner on your hair. You can either blow dry or air dry your hair. After that your hair is dry you can either put a little bit of the lotion or begin to strighten your hair. Make sure you straighten your hair in small sections so it can be strightened better. After your done, put a small amount of lotion on your hair and brush it. Then your done! Even if you don't put the lotion after you shower, you can still use it before straightening your hair and it work just as good. I hope this helps a lot and leave me a comment letting me know what you think and if you have tried it :)
