My Lush Henna Experience

I am going to start by saying that this was my first time using Henna. I have nothing to compare this experience to, and can also claim that I am far from an expert when it comes to Henna. Based off the information I gathered from the Web and You Tube experiences, I believe the Lush Henna is a much simpler, cleaner process, plus the smell is bearable-actually pleasant in my opinion.

If you don't wish to dye your hair jet black, like myself, Lush Henna provides several other coloring options, like brown and red. I created the mixture by pouring boiling water over the blocks, which I placed in a ceramic bowl. I gradually added additional blocks, poured more water, and continued stirring until it took the appearance of a brownie batter texture. I decided to use the entire Henna block since my hair is pretty thick. The portion you choose to use is obviously based on the length and texture of your hair. I slathered it on my entire head while wearing rubber gloves. I then wrapped my head in plastic wrap to hold in the color and prevent the mess from falling over the house, as it is quite messy and will definitely stain anything it touches.

I washed my hair out in the shower, using my normal shampoo and conditioner. It is a little work getting all of the crumbs and residue out of your hair, but well worth the trouble. My hair felt like never before. It appeared to be shinier, healthier, and even has a slight red tint when the sun hits it just so. I'm a fan!

Hope this info helps you in your Henna attempts. Pictures are posted on my Tumblr page! View additional links below regarding Henna and Lush. Good luck and please let me know about your personal experience!

Introducing the Kiwi

So, the kiwi originated in China, but is now grown in the US, in addition to a few select countries. Here in America, the kiwi is pretty easy to find, and also reasonable in price. Believe it or not, this sweet fruit is jammed pack with vitamin C - even more than that of an orange! Also contains vitamin E, low in fat, and no cholesterol The two main claims floating around about the kiwi: 1. It's a natural energy booster! 2. It can effectively reduce asthma symptoms, and respiratory problems in general. It reduces heart problems and increases lung function. It has been suggested that a child suffering with asthma conditions can eat one to five kiwis weekly to reduce symptoms. I have personally embraced the kiwi because of the taste, plus it's a convenient snack. But, now my love for the kiwi has been placed on a higher level. Okay, that's a little extreme! But seriously, it's a fruit to consider trying, and if possible, introducing into your daily die

Oil Pulling- A Simple Detox

So before you begin reading this, let me say that I am prepared to hear words of doubt, confusion, and just plain ol' 'are you crazy?!' concerns. I know this because I have been sharing this simple practice with a few friends, and they all looked at me with the side eye, as if this is something I learned from of a cult. But seriously, this is an opportunity to hear results before you jump on the bandwagon. Simply put, oil pulling is a form of detoxing and cleansing the body. It is so easy, and close to free- so right up my alley when it comes to time and cost. Also, please note that this method of detoxing has been performed by many for ages, and has been identified as a best practice for healing the body. Choose the oil of your choice. I prefer coconut oil, but other oils work just as well; sunflower, safflower. Throw a spoonful of oil in your mouth, (don't swallow), swish around for about 15 - 20 minutes. You can do this daily,

Konjac, Facial Cleanse

I strongly believe in keeping it simple when it comes to caring for my face, and overall body. I've never considered adopting an extensive, lengthy facial regimen. If time, natural beauty, and simplicity are your best friends, (plus you're looking for a cheap routine for maintaining your skin) , here's a great product to purchase! The konjac sponge, an eco-friendly sponge that helps revive the skin, getting rid of those dead skin cells while promoting a natural healthy glow. I've personally used the konjac sponge on my face daily, every morning since October 2016, so nearly a year. Yes, plenty of time to identify any mishaps, negative thoughts, or concerns. But no complaints here, because it's a winner! The price is so low, that you cannot complain, and the work that this little plant sponge puts into your skin is even better! Here are a few known facts about the konjac sponge: The konjac is a perennial herb, a plant found in the tropic
