Stupid Tip of the Day: You Don’t Have to Clean Your Dishwasher.
Photo previously provided by Guest Blogger, Karleia S.
This is not true. Cleaning your dishwasher is a must. It’s a place that is wet, hot and dark which is the playground for bacterias and fungus. Gross, right.
Pouring vinegar in the soap spot (tray) and running it empty, every so many weeks to months, can keep your dishwasher fresh and clean. Before running it with the vinegar wash, take a vinegar soaked cloth and wipe under the overhand of where the door lays down. That is a spot that is often missed and never thought of. You may be surprised at what you wipe away from there.

My hair turned greenish from the swimming pool, I thought that was just a myth. How do I fix it? K.
Tip from Tia:
It is not a myth that blonde hair can turn green from swimming, sorry to say.
It is a chemical reaction from the chlorine in the pool and recently colored or lightened hair. As the light follicles soak in the chlorine, ash-blonde can turn a hue of yucky green.
This can happen from highly chlorinated water from your pipes, too.
Purple Shampoo
Purple shampoo is literally, purple. It’s a great way to pull brass out of blonde hair without bleach. It works great for most blondes. However, there are stories of blondes using purple shampoo and their locks get a green tint.
It’s rare, but if it happens, take a break from the purple.
Remove the Green
The quickest, safest way to remove the green tint is with ketchup. The red will neutralize the green hue. Tomato juice can work too, but the ketchup is thicker and will stay in the hair for a period of time without being so messy.
How to Use Tomato Base to Remove the Green
The smell will be potent, but it will work. Cover all your hair with ketchup and let it set for 30-45 minutes. Cover hair with a dark-colored towel or plastic to protect your clothing and furniture. Ketchup will stain. Obviously, tomato anything stains for life.
Wash Out the Green
After the allotted time, wash out thoroughly with shampoo. Once you feel it’s clean, use conditioner. Let hair dry naturally or use a low heat to blowdry.
It’s Still Greenish
If there is still a green tint, it is safe to repeat process.
I usually recommend waiting a couple hours in between treatments, because washing your hair and blow drying too frequent, can be damaging on the strands. Tomatoes are acid-based, so it could affect the hair if repeating the process too often.
The best way to avoid green hair is to prevent it by avoiding the pool for several days after a new highlight treatment. Another thing to remember is to rinse hair after swimming with clean water. It will dilute the chlorine that is trapped in your locks.
It only takes about two days for the hair’s cuticle to close after being bleached. Once that happens, hair is less likely to turn green, but it can still happen. It’s not always possible to avoid the green, and this quick fix can help tone your hair back to a beautiful blonde.

Those who are new at bodybuilding aim to get as big as possible; huge slabs of muscle mass, wardrobe that suddenly becomes too tight, and looks of friends filled with respect and even awe for your new looks. Because this is something you achieve after a long time of intense training, you begin to understand that there is more than just impressive muscle mass at stake in bodybuilding and proportion, strength, shape and health.
Forget about the final result
As silly as this may sound, understand this: focusing on the final result will have you overlooking those great little things that happen along the way, and it may even leave you disappointed. Set more minor goals instead, it will make you strive to accomplish those and fill you with pride and dedication. Specific actions you have told yourself you have to complete will make it easier for you to form healthy habits of going to the gym and clean eating than only looking to see whether you’ve lost your stomach after three gym sessions.

Stimulate muscle growth
There are three ways you can make your muscles grow bigger, but the best results come to those who combine them effectively. Cellular fatigue means that you will be pushing muscle fibers to repeat certain exercises until they can move no more. Muscle damage will gave you damaging our muscles with high levels of tension, after which you need to rest and eat the right food, and your body will grow new fibers to deal with future stimuli better. The third and the most important method is to progressively burden your muscles with more and more weights.

Weight gain doesn’t mean muscle growth
Weight gain is just that – gaining weight, if you are not careful enough in a long run, and if you work out the right way, gaining weight is the result of putting on more muscle mass, but you have to approach the subject carefully. It is difficult to achieve muscle growth, especially if you’re the ‘skinny type’ and have problems putting on any weight, let alone muscle mass. People who have problems putting on weight often have the wrong approach altogether – eating pretty much anything, forgetting about counting calories (the more the better, you’d say), not training intensely enough; all this leads to the wrong kind of weight you’ll be putting on. Nobody wants to put on fat, not even super skinny people.

Testosterone is one of the most important hormones in an organism, and for those who are looking for effective ways to get more muscle, perhaps the most important there is. This hormone is in charge of muscle growth, and no wonder an average person is looking for a testosterone booster and doing research about different ways to raise testosterone levels in order to get the best results. What is important here is to note that not even steroids can miraculously increase the amount of muscle you can build, but for people looking for all the help they can get, it is still significant. Make sure you monitor the dosages, and consult an expert in order to get the best results.
Once you decide to hit the gym, you should keep in mind the following: it is not just about the looks; there is a lot more than meets the eye here. Superior strength, overall health, and strict discipline are the basis for great looks, and once you respect the rules and go slowly, you will understand that gym is not the means to get to your goal: it is a lifestyle.
