After drinking my green tea, I put the tea bag in the fridge. I use the cooled tea bags as a compress on my eyes. It helps for the under eye circles, bags and puffiness. For dry and damaged hands: I mix an egg yolk with a teaspoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of honey. Apply this mixture on hands. Leave it to stand 20 minutes before washing.

I have slightly dry curly hair, and to keep it bouncy, I use an old southern remedy. Take one packet of Knox gelation and dissolve it in hot water, usually about two tablespoons or so--just make sure it's dissolved. You can even substitute the water for milk for extra hydration. Then add two/three tablespoons of molasses and mix it until it becomes a soupy, thick mixutre (I tend to add a little more because my hair is so thick). Put it on damp hair and leave it for 25-30 minutes. Rinse and shampoo. Continue as usual. The molasses smell lingers a little, but it isn't very strong. It is totally masked if you use styling products. I've tried hot oils treatments, but so far this is my favorite AND the cheapest! Also.. for a cheap face scrub (or body). I take brown sugar and add just enough water to make it like a scrub. For extra hydration you can use milk or even honey. It's a lot cheaper than a scrub you buy in a store, and without the chemicals. It'll get your skin really soft too! I love it! For dry hair..

As for beauty secrets...uh, I don't have really any secrets except for that fact that I never use the same shampoo/conditioner two days in a row. I have like, 4 different kinds in my shower right now! Dove, Suave, Herbal Essence, and Loreal Kids! Yeah, the kid shampoo makes my hair really soft!! But different shampoos have different benefits- and it's important to mix it up! The last thing you mentioned was a Parafin Dip…I love them :)
