What Would I Do With Out Dr. Oz?

I have to start this post off by letting you know I love, love, love, love Dr. Oz! I think he is the best out of what I call Oprah's "Dream Team" (Dr. Phil, Suze Orman, Dr. Oz). This past Wednesday, while trying to stay clear of all the treacherous ice left from our wonderful (of course I'm being sarcastic)) ice storm, I saw one of his shows on anti-aging procedures and foods. You know when he got to the segment where he lists 5 foods or produce items that help our bodies keep reproducing healthy cells and tissue I had to share it with you. Hmmmmm!...... maybe I should incorporate these ingredients into one of my "Double Duty Beauty" videos......What do you think?

Check out the video to learn more about these age defying ingredients!

Also, here's the recipe the age defying salad.


5 Age defying Fruits & Vegetables

Watercress
Rich in Lutein which is great for the eyes and serves as a natural sunblock for them

Apricots
Are great because they contain both potassium, which benefits our neurological system among other things & beta carotene which can give our skin a natural glow...who doesn't love that!

Cucumber
Cucumber skin contains silica a component of connective tissue that helps plump skin

Blood Oranges
contain anthocynin, a purplish pigment that serves as an anti oxidant

Eggplant
contains both anthocynin which is a natural antioxidant & Nasunin which serves as both an antioxidant & phytonutrient known to protect the fat membranes in brain cells.....I soooo need to load up on this!

Double Duty Beauty: Moisturizing Hair Mask

It's official the Double Duty Beauty series is back! This week I show you how I create my own version of a moisturizing hair mask. This beauty recipe also works great when you incorporate it with your favorite conditioner, especially if you desire more of a detangling agent.

Ingredients
Plain Yogurt
1 Whole Avocado
1 or 2 Eggs
Olive Oil

Why Each Ingredient is Great For Your Hair

Yogurt - the natural probiotics found in will draw impurities from the hair & milk protiens will help strengthen the hair

Avocado - a rich in many vitamins like A, B6, C and K. But what makes avocados so great for the hair is the ability of their natural oils to penetrate the hair shaft and thoroughly moisturize hair.

Egg - Eggs contains proteins that strengthen hair and add moisture

Olive Oil - Contains fatty acids that are essential for nourishing hair with moisture

Beauty Recipe Remixx

If you desire more of an intensive deep conditioning treatment for your hair try mixing
one whole avocado or two hass avocados, with two egg yolks and olive oil. Apply this mixture to damp or wet hair and cover with a plastic cap for 30 minutes. When done you should have well moisturized coils.

Double Duty Beauty

Hey family!Some of you have asked "whats up with the double duty beauty videos?". Well the answer that is we're taking a hiatus until September. During our down time from recording we'll be working on a bunch (did I really just say "a bunch"?)of fun new videos in a new location. Yes. we're finally leaving my kitchen! So be on the look out for those new videos plus a few short behind the scenes videos from our upcoming photo shoot for our new products. I'm sure that will be hilarious, if you only knew half of the antics that goes on behind the scenes I'm sure most of you would be in tears...LOL. So we'll see you in September.

Double Duty Beauty: Lip Scrub

Hey Beauties!! Here's the latest video in our Double Duty Beauty series. Today I will show you how to create a quick and simple lip scrub using lip balm and sugar. I actually recorded this video in my parents back yard while nursing an injured foot and trying my best to keep my two nieces from shaking the camera. As you can see that didn't work out too well...LOL. I hope you enjoy today's video. Please leave your comments and let us know what you think!!

Will you give our quick and simple lip scrub a try? If you have did it work for you?

Double Duty Beauty: Spa Pedicure

In today's Double Duty Beauty episode I will show you how to create a spa pedicure in the comfort of your home. I remember when I first came up with this beauty recipe. I was in college and I believe it might have been in 96 or 97. I read in a magazine a few weeks before how beneficial milk was to the skin. I remember like it was yesterday. I was home from school on winter break and I had no where to go. So I decided I would try to recreate the milk bath I read about. However, by the time I made it to the fridge I found there wasn't enough for a bath, but there definitely was enough for a pedicure. So I took what was left poured into one of those electric foot tubs poured in the warm water and freshly squeezed oranges. I even cut up the oranges and added them to the foot basin and sat back and relaxed.......oh those were the days!!!!

Special Note:

For this recipe your going to need to use cows milk or goats milk because they contain lactic acid which will plump, soften and naturally slough away dead skin. The non dairy milks such as soy, rice or almond milks do not contain lactic acid so you wont reap the full beauty benefits.

In the video I used orchid petals to garnish the foot bath. If you don't have flowers on hand just do what I did back in 96/97 cut the orange or what ever citrus fruit your using and add it to the foot bath for garnish.

Thirdly, if you want to intensify the aroma zest the skin of the citrus fruit your using and add it to the foot bath. Not only will you intensify the aroma, but, your skin will love you even more because of the natural oils that are released in the foot bath from the zest. As you soak your feet your skin will absorb all the natural vitamin c (which is known to tighten & brighten) revealing beautifully pampered feet!!

Will you give this beauty recipe a try? If you do leave your comments and let us know what you think.

Also, please help us out by letting us know what you think of this series in general. Don't forget to post your comments below or over at NidasiiTV.

Double Duty Beauty Series : Cornmeal Body Scrub

Hey Everyone!! I finally posted the first video in my Double Duty Beauty series. I hope you enjoy it. Recording this video was such a challenge....putting it nicely...lol. So many things went wrong during the recording. My cel phone rang, then the intercom rings...it's UPS with a delivery that's NOT for me & then to top things off I hear what sound like industrial strength chain saws.... it's the parks department cutting up a tree that had fallen Saturday during our mini hurricane. So if I seem a little scatter brained that's why. The out takes are hilarious. I should put together an out take reel...LOL!!

If you liked this episode and find it useful please share it with your friends!!

How did you like this episode? Do you think you will give the cornmeal scrub a try?
