Swept Away at the Emmys

Sunday evening is the time to check out the glamour, the bling, and of course, the red-carpet hairstyles of the Emmy awards. Doing a bit of research on my own, I’m noticing quite a few of TV’s leading ladies in oh-so-smooth hairdos with side swept bangs. Whether it’s Tina Fey or Christina Hendricks, Kate Winslet or the gals from Glee, bangs are framing these famous faces. Fortunately for the rest of us, this is an easy act to follow.

If you haven’t tried bangs since elementary school, this is a great style to experiment with. Side swept bangs are long enough to be versatile. When you don’t want them, you can pull them back and incorporate them into your longer strands. And when you want to look like a star, they’re easy to style – even easier when you use Organix Moroccan Smooth Perfection Blow Out Cream. It’s great for creating these smooth, sleek styles that the stars are loving, AND it reduces your blow drying time!

Start with a shampoo and conditioner that will moisturize and fight your frizzies – like Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner. They’ll pamper your tresses with the hydration they need to be smooth, silky and shiny, giving you a great look whether you twist your hair up or leave it loose and tousled.

While your hair is still towel-dry, apply Moroccan Smooth Perfection Blow Out Cream to your palm, rub your hands together and spread this lush lotion throughout your hair, but especially on your bangs. Don’t worry – it won’t leave a residue. Blow dry your hair, but leave your bangs till last – they’re getting special attention!

Use a radial brush – it’s perfect for side swept bangs because you can pull your hair straight while curling the ends. With your brush under your bangs, pull your hair to the side. Your radial brush needs to be small enough to give some tension as you pull.

Set your blow dryer on low heat. Start at your roots and move along the length of your bangs while keeping the tension with your brush. Repeat until your bangs are dry, then seal the style with a shot of cold air. Finish with a light shot of hair spray, and you’ll be ready for those paparazzi!

Derived from the southwest region of Morocco, lightweight argan oil also protects from UV damage while creating soft, silky perfection.
Fair trade argan oil used in the Organix formula is extracted using a cold-pressed method, so that oil is not heated over a certain temperature during processing. This technique helps retain more nutrients and ensures that the argan oil undergoes less degradation.

Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

Massage Anyone?

Whether you are bogged down by never-ending work or bogged down by never-ending bills that you can’t pay, this economy has been no respecter of persons. So, how do you handle that stress? Well, one of the tactics you can use to relieve some of the tension and stress you may be feeling is right at your fingertips….literally. A scalp massage is great for releasing stress, alleviating painful headaches, increasing blood flow, preventing dandruff and get this: hair growth! Think about when you go to the salon or when you used to lie in your mommy’s lap and get a lovely scalp massage. It felt heavenly, didn’t it? Well, you can do the same thing for yourself.

What gets even better is that you can do it anywhere: your desk, car, bed, etc. Just take your pick! An excellent place to try it is in the shower. Use an invigorating shampoo like Organix Hydrating Teatree Mint and massage away. Your senses will be awakened and your scalp will thank you! So when you’re feeling stressed out, take a minute. Breathe a couple deep breaths and massage the scalp. Simply apply your fingers to your scalp and move fingers in circular motions. It’s easy as 1,2,3!

Stress 101

From the CEO to the kid in the mailroom, the recession has left no job unturned. Employers are searching for ways to cut back and employees are overworking themselves to make sure they’re not the ones on the chopping block. In a situation as serious as an economic recession unlike any historic financial crisis in its’ past, stress levels are at their highest. Question is, what happens when the stress starts to appear on more than just the face?

One of the symptoms of a heightened level of stress is hair loss. It’s not uncommon so don’t feel bad if you’re in your 20s or 30s and it’s happening sooner than you expected. There is hope for preservation of the hairline. View it as an indication that stress management needs to kick in. It would still be recommended to see a doctor just to make sure stress is the culprit of hair loss. Here are some ways to manage the stress in your life:

1. Make positivity #1- Well…yes, it’s number one on this list but make it number one in your life as well. Whether it’s refusing to wallow in your disappointment about being passed over for a promotion or pressing ‘Ignore’ when that one friend calls to dump all her issues on you (and yes, we all have one of those friends), it’s time to let go of negativity and move forward. Encourage yourself when you wake up. Make a decision that you are going to conquer the day! You can do it! You’ll feel better for it!

2. Learn to say “N-O!”- Think of the D.A.R.E. program when we were in school. The slogan was “Just say No!” Why? Because drugs are bad for your body! Stress is bad for your body too! Prioritize what’s important and move accordingly. You’re not a bad person if you say no! You’re extremely wise once you get this one down pat!

3. Break a sweat!- Seriously, stress can be reduced with a simple 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. Breathe the fresh air and allow yourself time to become energized and in tune with your thoughts all while toning those legs for that skirt you want to wear at that party next month! In the summertime, the sun sets later so take some time after work and just go! Just make sure to hit the showers after the workout and shampoo all the dirt and sweat out of your hair with Organix shampoo and conditioner!

4. Treat yourself!- Have some sort of reward at the end of an arduous task. “Once I finish cleaning my room, I will treat myself to a bouquet of lovely tulips!” Think of something that will help make the work seem less like work so that you’ll look forward to completing a task. It makes life a little sweeter!

5. Phone a friend!- Have a least one friend that you can confide in and let your guard down with. After a while, talking to yourself or your imaginary friend can only do so much. It’s nice to have someone to bounce things off of over dinner and get some sympathy and solutions (and perhaps a free meal) out of!

Remember stress can only beat you if you let it! Use these tips and you’re well on your way to becoming the stress management queen for good!!!
