Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
This coming weekend, there is going to be plenty a jar of mayonnaise and Miracle Whip emptied out into recipes for dips and spreads. Why? Because mayonnaise is fat and we all know that fat tastes pretty damned good. Just don't use the high-end expensive stuff.
But before you scoop all your Hellman's out into Stefania's Easy Artichoke Dip to treat your guests, save a cup or two to treat your face and hair! It's the fat in the mayonnaise that has a moisturizing effect on both hair and skin.
- For a simple deep moisturizing condition for the hair, simply comb about ½ cup mayonnaise through dry hair, cover (so you don't faint from the mayo fumes) and let it sit anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. I have seen some "recipes" that even suggest that you sit in the sun with a shower cap on, as the heat gets trapped inside the shower cap and works even better to moisturize. Rinse as much of the mayo out as you can with warm water first, then shampoo like normal.
- Since avocaodes are also very moisturizing, you can cut down the mayo by half, and add back the same amount of mashed avocado.
- This one sounds slightly odd, and if anyone actually tries it, please leave a comment about the results! Spread Miracle Whip (the salad dressing, not real mayonnaise) on your face, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, massage into your skin, then rinse off with warm water. Something in the Miracle Whip removes dead skin cells (which sound scary, since people also eat the stuff) and leaves your skin smooth and radiant.

(Oh, and when you rinse the mayo out of your hair, use cool water, hot water can cook the egg ... then you've got a real mess.)
