Rinse it out and you should see glossier locks. Tip: Don’t forget that aloe is also great for your skin! Combine it with ginger and lime and it makes a wonderful moisturizer. Its inflammatory properties make it an excellent salve for irritated skin too. The Philippines: Seaweed for luxurious locks. Seaweed is a major part of the Japanese diet, and a rich natural source of easily-digested iodine. Iodine is added to table salt, but it isn’t as easy for your body to digest as the iodine in seaweed (and if you use sea salt, you are getting even less of it). Head to your local Asian grocery store and stock up on seaweed and start adding it to your diet! Singapore: Avocado or papaya for radiant skin. Here’s another great tip from Singapore! Mash up an avocado or a papaya (both work great), rub the mixture onto your face, wait for fifteen minutes, and rinse it off. Both of these have some great oils in them which are ideal for moisturizing your face. Papaya also works as an exfoliating agent thanks to an enzyme called papain. This is a great way to make use of avocados that are just a little too ripe. Otherwise they just go to waste! Skool as kind versus skool as ma!

As kind was jou grootste vrees dat jy in die gange val en almal vir jou lag - as ma is jou grootste vrees Facebook boelies! As kind het jy met jou maats gesels om die nuutste skindernuus oor onnies te kry - as ma “stalk” jy jou kind se onnies op Facebook. As kind het jy huiswerk geHAAT - As ma HAAT jy huiswerk!
Kuilvoer: Beheer die proses om gehalte te behou deur Albert van Rensburg, Biomin Goeie kuilvoer is goud werd – maar dan moet dit reg gemaak word om gehalte te verseker. Goeie bestuur en aandag aan besonderhede is noodsaaklik om deurlopend kuilvoer van die beste gehalte te maak. Die spoed waarteen die gewas ingekuil word, die voginhoud, snylengte en samepersing kan alles ’n groot invloed hê op die gistingsproses en bergingsverliese. Algemene foute met die maak van goeie kuilvoer is: Die materiaal is te nat (die voginhoud is bo 75%). Die gewas moet teen die regte voginhoud (60 tot 75%) gekuil word om goeie kuilvoergisting te bewerkstellig. Kuilvoer wat te nat is, veroorsaak verliese via loging en die groei van ongewenste mikroörganismes, wat tot onsmaaklike kuilvoer lei. Oormatig droë (
