Beauty D.I.Y: Yogurt conditioning hair mask

Hello ~

Yes, I am able to post more often, I hope I can keep doing it :) Today's post was supposed to be up before reviewing Lucid by Adrienne Stoltz, Ron Bass, but I didn't have time to edit the pictures, but I finished editing them now so here is the review :)



D.I.Y Yogurt conditioning hair mask:


Things you'll need:

  • oil - I used almond oil (don't use if you have oily hair)
  • yogurt
  • egg
  • spoon
How to:

 1. open the yogurt, hopefully you'll be smarter than me, and shake it before you open it, because it'll be easier for you to mix.
2. add the egg
3. add three spoons of almond oil (or any oil you like) *Skip this step if you have oily hair.
4. mix mix mix
5. keep mixing until it becomes white
6. and done :)


How to apply:
1. wash your hair with shampoo, and towel dry it.
2. section your hair and apply it the same way you would apply hair dye.
3. cover your head with shower cap/plastic bag, then wrap a hot towel around your head.
4. leave it on your hair for 30 minute to 1 hour.
5. wash your hair with water.

Pros: 
- moisturize your hair.
- make it shine.

Cons: 
 - smells like infants vomit.(but it is mild)
 - can get a bit messy when you apply.
 - do not wash it out with hot/warm water, because I did and I got omelette on my hair !!

Final verdict: really easy and affordable, but the smell disturbs me (I have a sensitive nose), but I'll use it again in the future when my hair becomes dead.

hope you try it :)

Book Review: Raven Stole the Moon by Garth Stein

Umm.. hi :)

I planned to post a review or a D.I.Y beauty 2 weeks ago, but I had to work so I got no time, and since I resigned (because it was really stressful) I now have time to post.

Today's post is a book review, just like the previous book, I was so bored at work and was browsing the files on my phone and saw this book, I belief I downloaded this book last year after I finished reading The Snow Child (which I LOVE) because it was recommended/listed as similar in goodreads.com (add me here)



Summery:
When Jenna Rosen abandons her comfortable Seattle life to visit Wrangell, Alaska, it's a wrenching return to her past. The hometown of her Native American grandmother, Wrangell is located near the Thunder Bay Resort, where Jenna's young son, Bobby, disappeared two years before. His body was never recovered, and Jenna is determined to lay to rest the aching mystery of his death. But whispers of ancient legends begin to suggest a frightening new possibility about Bobby's fate, and Jenna must sift through the beliefs of her ancestors, the Tlingit, who still tell of powerful, menacing forces at work in the Alaskan wilderness. Armed with nothing but a mother's protective instincts, Jenna's quest for the truth behind her son's disappearance is about to pull her into a terrifying and life-changing abyss.

My Opinion :
I loved this book, I really like folk tales and stuff like this, and I've always like native Indians, their culture is really interesting. and the Kushtaka was something new to me, and I loved it -I am using it for roleplay :).
Some of the chapters were confusing and the bad news is that most of the story was boring, many chapter were useless they didn't add anything to the story, like they are fillers or something, but every few chapters there will be some interesting things that happen so it was okay.
warning: sex in chapter 22 (not sex sex like the things you would read in yunjae fanfictions, but they were doing it, so I am warning you just in case )

This book gave me nightmares the second day after I finished it, I kept dreaming of these otters replacing my family members (kushtaka in conjunction with the movie forget me not, add stress from work, and lack of sleep and you get a very disturbing and uncomfortable night)

Favourite character: Eddie, this man is amazing <3 also I guess I like David too, but Eddie is the best.

Did I like the ending ? Nope, not the ending that I wanted.

Rating: 4.5/5
