Devilled eggs

I've never made these before, but by golly they're simple and delicious!

6 eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mustard pickle (or use whatever mustard you like)
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
salt and pepper to taste
paprika

Boil the eggs. Peel and cut in half length ways. Remove the yolks and mash in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, mustard pickle and vinegar to yolk mash and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon mixture back into egg whites, dispersing evenly. Sprinkle with paprika.

Treatments

Egg Treatment
Pre-shampoo

Whisk up 2 eggs.

Massage thoroughly through your hair. Be sure to rinse out with cold water, otherwise you will end up with scrambled egg all through your hair!

Hair Mayonnaise
Pre-shampoo

This is suitable for all hair types except for very oily hair. It pretty much smacks you in the head with a wollop of moisture and protein, so concentrate mainly on the ends and be careful around the roots.

1 organic egg yolk
3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon jojoba oil
20ml light organic olive oil
4 drops lavender essential oil

Whisk up the egg and vinegar. Mix together the oils and then add to the egg in a thin stream. Use immediately.

Massage into the hair. For deep conditioning cover your head with a plastic shower cap (or glad wrap), then wrap in a hot towel and leave for 20 minutes. Wash as normal.

Leave-in Spray

Grab a handfull of fresh Rosemary. Pop it in a saucepan and cover with water, bring to the boil and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Strain. When cooled, place the liquid in a spray bottle. Spray into your hair after washing, or use whenever your locks need a quick fresh up.

Masks

Egg Mask

Whisk up an organic egg white, smooth over the face, leave for 20 mins, and the rinse off.

Egg whites, as you may know, contain a stack of protein. This mask will help to smooth and tighten your skin. Leaves my skin looking super polished and even younger (if that's possible).

If you have dry skin, smear that face with honey or oil (such as sweet almond) before applying the egg white.

For oily skin, whisk in 1/2 teaspoon organic lemon juice with the egg white.

Honey Mask

This is even easier than the egg mask and is suitable for all skin types. Grab some honey, warm it up slightly, then spread it over the face. What you then need to do is tap you face lightly all over until the honey starts grabbing your fingers and pulling from the skin (should take a couple of minutes). Then just rinse off with cool water.
