September 01, 2019 at 06:00PM by CWC Honey has been around the block a time or two. It’s been utilized by humans for at least 9,000 years, and even the ancient Egyptians knew what’s up, using it as a food sweetener, liquid bandage on the skin, and beyond. All these years later, nothing has changed. The world’s love of honey only continues to grow—especially when it comes to how much it can benefit your hair. “Honey is a wonder ingredient for both your hair and scalp, and it’s great for all hair types. It’s one of the oldest beauty ingredients,” says Jana Blankenship, founder of Captain Blankenship and author of Wild Beauty. “Honey is a natural emollient, humectant, antibacterial, and is full of antioxidants. It helps seal in moisture, adds shine, promotes hair growth, and strengthens hair, preventing breakage. It also helps soothe scalp conditions, such as dermatitis and dandruff.” Reaping these benefits is simple: All you need to do is whip together a honey hair mask. “Did you know Cleopatra used to take milk and honey baths? This simple recipe is inspired by this practice, but it’s a hair bath mask. It softens and moisturizes your hair while soothing your scalp,” Blankenship says. “You can’t use this hair mask too often, but I recommend at least once a week.” Here’s exactly how to make the mask. ad_intervals[‘419308_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘419308_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); Honey hair mask Ingredients: 2 tsp raw honey 1 Tbsp

September 01, 2019 at 02:00PM by CWC Taylor Swift once said “never trust a narcissist.” And she’s right—especially because trusting a narcissist might lead to a breakup with a narcissist. And that’s fun for no one. Ending any relationship, in any circumstance tends to fall somewhere between “unpleasant” and “downright horrible,” but when you’re contending with a narcissist, a unique set of challenges may emerge. “Narcissists are very self-absorbed and selfish, so they talk about what they want and what they need from you, disregarding whatever you tell them about your own feelings and concerns about the relationship,” says relationship therapist Jane Greer, PhD. This is consistent with the telltale sign of a narcissist: that they put their feelings in front of everyone else’s—including their partner’s—which usually means ignoring what their partner wants. So if you want to break up and they don’t, they’ll do everything in their power to keep the relationship going. “A narcissist will use every trick in the book to achieve their end goals: emotional manipulation, psychological manipulation, mind games, and emotional torment,” says relationship expert Susan Winter. ad_intervals[‘416581_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘416581_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); While there are certain hints that may open your eyes to the fact that you’re in a relationship with a narcissist (…the most obvious of which apparently being that they love to send you dick pics on the reg), the reality often becomes most evident when you’re trying to distance yourself from the situation.
