Could your morning cup of joe be the key to a better head of hair? Studies suggest that it might just be!
Hair thinning or hair loss take no prisoners–affecting both genders and people of every age–and are major blows to self-esteem. Common culprits can include aging, postpartum, menopause, diet or underlying health concerns.
The good news? There are things that can be done to prevent or mitigate this destruction.
Starting with that cup of coffee.
Taking steps to protect your skin in the summer months is a no-brainer. But what your hair? Prolonged sun exposure can cause UV damage to hair cuticles.
The good news is that there are precautions you can take to protect your hair from the summer sun. TO112's Console Hair Cream is the crème de la crème of summer sun hair protection.
How many opportunities did you let slip through your fingers in the past year because you were afraid of making a mistake? Did you learn a new skill, go for that big promotion, or book that plane ticket? This irrational fear of making mistakes could be holding you back from more than you realize. You’ve got 365 glorious days to take new risks, make new mistakes, and teach yourself something new in the process.
First, you need to understand that experimenting isn't failure. It's the learning curve to success. Think of toddlers as they learn to take their first steps. How many times did they fail before they found success? They fall over and over again, always getting back up, learning from their failed attempts, to eventually take off running.
This is no different than the setbacks of everyday life. But how will you learn from your mistakes if you quit? How will you achieve or create if you don't risk a mistake?
A negative outcome decreases the chance of you repeating the same behaviour. By making mistakes you teach yourself to think critically and problem solve; you’re trying new techniques, pushing yourself, changing your perspective, and learning until you’re able to achieve your goals.
By making mistakes you’re given the opportunity to learn something about yourself. Mistakes allow you to face your fears, showcase your bravery, or bring you back down to earth and keep you humble. Think about how past mistakes have shaped your personality, your social development, your life experience, and the wisdom you’ve gained through it all. These mistakes have made you who you are today.
This year, shift your perspective; view a mistake as a lesson and ask yourself what knowledge you can take from this “mistake” that will push you in the right direction.
TO112 is proudly cruelty-free and often promotes being Leaping Bunny certified - but what exactly does that mean? In short, the Leaping Bunny Program is a certification program that expects companies to prove that they and their suppliers do not conduct animal testing. Leaping Bunny performs independent audits to verify each claim.
The Leaping Bunny Program is the outcome of 8 different animal groups forming the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC). CCIC recognized that there wasn't any clear standard for the claim of 'cruelty-free' and that companies were purposely misleading their consumers. The CCIC started the Leaping Bunny Program which provides a comprehensive, internationally recognized standard that companies can obtain to certify themselves as cruelty-free. Currently, The Leaping Bunny program is the only internationally recognized certification organization for cruelty-free brands.
It is important to be a compassionate and thoughtful shopper. Devastatingly, despite being the year 2017, the beauty industry is still considerably barbaric: many companies selling cosmetic products (amoung others) deliberately inflict pain and torture on defenceless animals. (Even if the brands themselves aren't personally testing on animals, their suppliers are). Do a quick google search - the results are horrifying. Animal testing is NOT necessary for safety.
While everyday consumers may not feel as if they have a lot of power to encourage change, they do $$$. The term 'dollar voting' applies here: support brands that are cruelty free by buying from them, and stop buying from brands that don't. Leaping Bunny's website is a great tool for locating cruelty-free brands- they even have an app!
#compassion + #protection for Animals. Always.
