    Simple Heatless Curls

    Hi Everyone!

    Today I am doing something a little bit different for self-care. I am going to teach you how I curl my hair without heat! I actually got this idea from Milabu on Facebook. I will link her page below so that you can check it out if you are interested. She’s got a lot of great beauty tips and video tutorials. I’ve been trying to find a healthier way to style my hair lately. I hate using heat on it all of the time. I’m sure any of you that use heat on your hair know what kind of damage it can do to it. I’ve been noticing a lot of damage lately and I’ve been dying to find something new.

    I tried to naturally wave my hair in a similar way but it was only turning out about half of the time, which was very frustrating. When I saw Mila’s video, I thought why not try it out. It looked like it worked great for her. So I did and it worked great. I had to share it with you guys!!

    So, how do you do them? First, you want to make sure your hair is damp. I usually do it after I’ve let my hair dry for a little while after getting out of the shower. I also really like to use some products in my hair, so that it doesn’t get too fluffy. I personally use Bed Head Smalltalk and Sexy Healthy Hair Soy Oil. These products also make my hair dry faster, so I can spend less time waiting for my hair to dry. You need a robe belt (just the rope you tie your robe with), two hair ties, and a scrunchie (if you want to pull it back while it’s drying). Comb out your hair like normal and part it where you normally do. Split your hair in the back in half as if you were going to put your hair into pigtails. Place your belt one inch back from the front of your hairline and pull one side up with the scrunchie so it is not in the way. Take one inch of the front of the side you are working on and twist it around the robe belt, combine it with your next inch section and continue until you get to the end of that side of hair. Once you get to the end of the side, continue to twist your hair around the robe until you get to the end of your hair. Grab your hair tie and tie it up to finish. Take the hair out of the first scrunchie used to separate sides and repeat the process. I have attached a video below to show how it’s done.

    I really love to curl my hair this way and I have been doing it for a few weeks now. Let me know if you try it out, I would love to hear about it. If you loved today’s post, please subscribe below!

    Biceps Workout

    Hey Everybody!

    Today’s workout is a biceps workout! As I have explained in previous posts, I struggle with golfer’s elbow so I normally don’t do a ton of bicep workouts as they seem to aggravate it the most! Here are some of the exercises that I do in order to keep my biceps toned. I like to use lower weight while doing these, somewhere in between 10-20 pounds.

    4 sets of 10 reps

    10 Reverse Barbell Curls

    10 Barbell Curls

    10 Dumbbell Hammer Curls

    10 Bicep Cable Curls

    Here is a video on how to do each of these exercises. It is sped up just a little bit.

    A few tips are: keep your elbows at your sides, don’t bend your wrists, and grip the barbell so it is parallel to your shoulders. As always, listen to your body. If something hurts don’t do it. Always start with the lowest amount of weight and increase from there.

    I hope you liked today’s workout. Don’t forget to subscribe below so you don’t miss any of the workouts or meals! Thanks for your support and I will see you again next week.
