"The hallmark of a sociopath is the lack of empathy". I just came back from seeing Gone Girl and I got the biggest mind shag ever. That movie was dark, raw, crazy, riveting and hella good. Can't believe the level of story telling coupled with amazing film scoring. I was utterly and totally impressed. Best $8.50 i've spent on a movie in a while. I have four words for anyone reading this post, GO SEE GONE GIRL! Peep the trailer below.
Hi guys, It's been awhile. I've been so busy with work and home that I haven't had time to check in with you. Switching gears a bit, I wanted to shared with you something I'm super excited about. As stated in previous blog posts, since the birth of my daughter last year, my family is moving in the organic, all natural direction. Not only are we trying to eat cleaner but also going green in the everyday products we use for cleaning and personal hygiene. For awhile now, I've been hearing a lot about The Honest Company who specialize in making products that are organic and free of all those harsh chemicals that are not good for our health. So I decided to purchase and try a few of the products myself.
So far, I'm in LOVE with the beauty products. They are so gentle and the smell is light but fragrant at the same time. I love that the products are tear free and safe for use for the entire family. Next up, I will try the cleaning products.
Once in a lifetime (if we're lucky) we stumble upon that magic product that makes you buckle in the knees every time you use it. I can now declare that I have found such a product.
I've been using this product for a few months now, just to be certain that it wasn't a one trick pony. Guys, it's the "bomb diggity". Every hairlista knows the importance of regular deep conditioning. Not only does it promotes hair growth, restores elasticity to the hair making it more manageable, repairs damage done as a result of harsh manipulation but also aids in easier detangling. I'm most excited about the easier detangling. Those of you who are familiar with my hair journey, know my perils when it comes to detangling. It is so time consuming and my hair can be pretty stubborn when it is ready. There are days when I just want to cut it all off because of how frustrating it can become.
Enough talk, here is the magnificent product that has me wilding out.
I'm not jiving guys! This stuff really works! I became familiar with this hair orgasmic recipe through popular YouTube Vlogger and Natural Hair Guru, Naptural85. After seeing her amazing results, I decided to give it a try and input a few extras. The original mix called for plain greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar and lavender essential oil. I added peppermint and rosemary essential oil to the mix and the result was a divine concoction that had my stubborn tangles slipping around each other. I went from taking forever to detangle to barely any time at all. The tangles literally just melted away as I worked the product in. I tested the mixture by working it on over a generous amount of coconut oil on dry, days old, twist out. After I washed it out, I followed up with a moisturizing conditioner (the mixture is protein laden) to provide balance. My hair felt amazing! I use this mixture once a month as recommended for all protein heavy treatments. I strongly recommend it for all hair types. Go ahead give it a try, you won't regret it.
I've been natural for three and a half years. Although i'm thrilled with the overall health and length of my hair, I have a slight problem. Slowly, but surely, there are a few grey hairs that are getting on my last nerve. Currently, I mask my greys by strategically parting my hair to cover them and another way that is too embarrassing to say. Right now, I have an incredible itch to color my hair so that I could take care of my greys in a more lasting way. I'm hesitant as to what system I want to use because I don't want my years of good hair health to go down the drain by using a coloring system that could potentially damage my hair. I've done some research and concluded that I need a system that is ammonia and peroxide free. I came across Naturtint and Herbatint.
Both products claim:
NO MORE AMMONIA
NO MORE SMELL
NO MORE PERFUME
NO MORE ALCOHOL
NO MORE PARABENS
LESS PEROXIDE WITH A NATURAL RESULT
100% GREY COVER
I'M SCARED YOU'LL! I don't want to cause damage to my hair or alter my texture in any way but i'm tired of these greys. Have any of you used the products mentioned before or know of safer alternatives that can color my greys in a timely and healthy way? Looking forward to your recommendations.
