For my birthday I received as a gift a beautiful perfume  with a nice smell but too strong. So I started reading as much as possible about this annoying problem like forums, websites and blogs. After many attempts here is the answer: YES, the perfume can be diluted and the process is very fast.
dilute a perfume


What do you need?
9 parts of alcohol 95 ° (the one you buy to make cakes)
1 part distilled water
Parfume

How to proceed
Pour the mixture of alcohol and distilled water inside the perfume that you want to dilute until you get a lighter note. The result will be effective and lasting, so you can finally wear the scent of your dreams without leaving an annoying wake!
Example
You have a Prada perfume (or whatever it's just an example), 100 ml but for you is too strong, well you can dilute it and make it 120 ml. 

Yesterday was a beautiful day so i spent the afternoon walking through the fields, however, I realized that I was too tired partly because I do not practice sport  so I remembered my notebook in which I transcribe all the recipes and I dusted off a really interesting remedy to stimulate the circulation of the legs, reducing cellulite only with coffee. 

Why coffee fights cellulite? 
If you go to look at the basic ingredients of  any anti-cellulite cream, you will surely find the caffeine, which is used as an adjunct to these compounds, due to its property to stimulate drainage and fat removal; to enhancing their efficiency you have to use it, as I'm about to explain, coupled with massage and physical activity. 

What do you need?
3 coffee grounds 
2 tablespoons of olive oil 
cling film

Mix the coffee with the olive oil; the moisture has to be applied in the affected area with a circular
motion.
Once stretched the wrap, wrap the affected area with cling film. 
Leave it on for 20-30 minutes. 
Repeat treatment 2 or 3 times a week for at least 2 months, the skin will be toned; if you match it with physical activity, its benefits will be even more visible.

Of all the soaps the most difficult to find is always the shampoo: the skin gets used  to it and after a short time you are forced to change it 'cause your hair aren't cool. I'm in the middle of my Bio revolution so I'm always in search of a new way to solve my daily problems and today I wanted to try (of several that I found around) this backing soda non-shampoo.  I read a lot around and a lot of people is using it, so I whashed my scalp with backing soda and my hair are beautiful!
How long they will be clean? 4-5 days



The recipe is simple: 
1 tablespoon of baking soda
250 ml of warm water
1 teaspoon vinegar
2 drops of essential oil (lavander, vanilla,teatree)
a bit of cinnamon

However: do not abuse of this recipe, 'cause an excessive use of the bicarbonate can be harmful. I
recommend using this method, alternating  it with the shampoo. The bicarbonate deeply cleanses the scalp, therefore, should not be used regularly to not weaken the hair

"Halawa" is a traditional Egyptian sugar wax, like a depilatory cream.  You can do it by yourself in a couple of minutes!

Ingredients: 
3 glasses of sugar 
1 glass of water 
1/2 cup of lemon juice 

Make the wax

  1. Put sugar into water and let it boil, remember to mix  all the time with a wooden spoon 
  2. When it has melted, add the lemon juice;  
  3. Don't stop stirring to prevent the mixture from sticking until it becomes honey-colored. Once you reach the color remove from heat and let stand. 

Use the wax


After waxing you can gently wipe the shaved zone with half lemon to smooth and make a slowly regrowth. The wax can be preserved for a long time (I preserve it for 5 months). Before using Halawa, I just leave it in the sun for no more than 3 minutes, than I take a spatula, so I scrap the softer part of the wax and apply it. 

NB: I recommend  to be careful when sugar is boiling for  two reasons: 

  1. the color of the wax takes a little bit before it becomes honey-colored so take a white saucer and place one drop every one or two minutes to verify the color. 
  2. The sugar can be really dangerous, so please be really carefull when you manage it!

TIP
If the wax becomes too brune it is unusable as a wax but adding a little bit of peanuts or roasted almonds you will make delicious biscuits!  Remind to stop cooking when the sugar becomes honey-colored, this  is essential for the success of the wax.

I opened my first Blog on 2011 'cause of this recipy: I started to use this cream a couple of months before and when i needed to do a new Halawa cream I lost the recipy. After two days i founded it wedged between 2 desk drawers so I opened a Blog to save this precious thing. Now I've decided to translate it in English because a lot of friends from Europe, Usa and other countries aked it to me. This is It!
