I admit it, I missed them... (www.edenfantasys.com)

I missed them terribly. I guess since I have posted for them for so long.
I had gotten used to writing about them every 2 - 3 weeks.
Edenfantasys is back on with the blogger program!!
So in case you missed my last post about how to get started blogging with them it is here:

Want to be Edenfantasys Blogger like me?

It was ironic just a week after I posted that, I found out it would be the last one I could for a while. So thank goodness they decided to continue it because when I found out, I literally was open mouthed in shock. I guess because I have written for them for a year and they were my favorite sponsor.

*claps hands*

Blogging for Edanfantays has been fun- because there is no "review".
I don't have to take pictures of product. I can just share with you how much I love their site (and I do!) and certain items they might have. I have no time limits, or specifications, I can talk to you as I would a friend.

Anyway.. I super ~~like~~ love this sexy lingerie sexy bra and panties retro with ruffle set! $21.74! (picture below)

This whimsical outfit is a pure seduction. The stretchy bra and panty set features black lace over pink lining. Big satin bows adorn bra and panties

If you've never shopped at EdenFantasys then you probably don't know how affordable everything is, and you also wouldn't know the great variety you will find of type of items. Such as SEX TOYS

SEXY LINGERIE, BEAUTY AND BODY, LUBES, BOOKS AND DVDS AND MORE!!!

Looks like right now, you can save even more money because they are offering 25% off Lingerie 'til August 3rd.

Lingerie Sale

Don't forget to take advantage of this offer, that they have had for a long time: FREE GIFT where you get to pick an item, sometimes a lube, ring, towel, bag, T-shirts, bullet, or wipes... I can't think of any others, but it's always different. You don't get it unless you remember to add it and you can only pick one.
AND

If you order NOW they are offering site-wide (if you order more than) 25$+ you get free shipping (for a limited time)

DIY - Homemade Hair Treatments For Damaged Hair

Look at this article I found On this amazing site Tip Junkie!!! According to Beauty Tips 411, here are three home recipes for hair that are perfect for damaged and dry hair types. These are frugal and easy ways to make a homemade conditioner.

Homemade Hair Treatments For Damaged Hair

1. Avocado Deep Conditioner Hair Mask- Using 1 small jar of mayonnaise and 1/2 avocado. Mix all ingredients, smooth into head being careful to work it to the ends, Use shower cap or plastic wrap to seal body heat in and leave on for 20 minutes.

2. Mayonnaise Your Hair - Apply 1/2 cup of mayonnaise to your dry hair, work in really well, cover your head with a plastic wrap, and let it set for about 15 minutes.

3. Olive Oil Hair Mask - Combine 2 tablespoon honey and 3 tablespoon olive oil together. Apply thoroughly and then cover with plastic wrap and set for 15 minutes.

These beauty tips and treatments are great on any type of hair and safe enough for those with sensitive scalps as well.

Homemade Shampoo

4. Baking Soda Hair Cleansing Mud – Mix 1 heaping Tbsp. of Baking Soda and 3-5 drops of essential oils of your choice (lavender, patchouli, rosemary, sweet orange are some of mine:not necessarily all together) with enough water to make a paste. Mix this in the shower. It took a little getting use too, with there being no suds.

5. Natural Chemical Free Shampoo – Use these three ingredients and use as a natural DIY shampoo, ¼ cup distilled water ( deionized water is ok ), ¼ cup liquid castile soap ( I use unscented ), and ½ teaspoon jojoba, grapeseed or other light vegetable oil.

6. Chamomile Fields Shampoo - Let the tea bags steep in 1 1/2 cups of boiled water for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags and with the remaining liquid add the soap flakes. Let stand until the soap softens. Stir in glycerin until mixture is well blended. Pour into a bottle. Keep in a dark, cool place.

More Home Remedies For Hair

Here are several more tips on homemade treatments for damaged hair over on the Hair Care Tips blog.

Drinking a lot of water, to keep the body hydrated and lustrous.
Regular use of olive oil, to help control damaged frizzy and dry locks. This remedy can either be used directly on the head, or quantities of it can be increased in a diet.
After washing, apply a small amount of silicone serum should be applied to the head, which repairs the damage.
Jojoba oil should be applied mainly to the ends to make it softer. This home remedy can work wonders with frizzy and dry locks.
Damaged hair should be deep conditioned thoroughly at least once a week.
