Jamaican Black Castor Oil

This is my new go to product for everyday hair consumption- yes, daily use. Jamaican Black Castor Oil (extra dark)- It is again, 100% natural, and my hair loves it thus far. During my research on castor oil, I have learned that the darker the oil, the more potnent, which results in faster results. This is why I have decided to stick with the extra dark oil.

I decided to use jbco for an extended period of time prior to reporting my experience, to ensure I could provide accurate feedback. Keep in mind that jbco can be applied to the skin and face, however I chose to to stick with my prior face/skin routines. I have found them successful as is, so why experiment?

As for the hair, this oil has the ability to strengthen the hair, in addition to adding thickness and length. Personally, I have noticed that my hair tangles less, and definitely seems shinier and stronger. If you are interested in trying jbco, you may have to resort in making an online purchase, as I was unsuccessful in finding in my local shops.

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, introduc...

Self Care- Make it a Habit

Self care habits in progress. I feel so good when I take time out to treat myself. It pleases me even more when the practice is inexpensive. Polishing my nails, at-home facial, or sometimes a lengthy shower or bath. It's extremely important to make time for yourself. I know we hear this often, but self care really promotes mental and physical health. If you're having a rough day, challenging week, or simply feeling overwhelmed or unenthusiastic about circumstances, I strongly urge you to make time for yourself. I find that I am able to think clearer, and my stress levels are reduced significantly after I practice self care. Sharing a few self care pics below; at home facial, read book alone in the car, or outside in the sun, make a fun (favorite drink) to enjoy alone, or try an at home mani/pedicure. I also find drawing and painting extremely relaxing. Perhaps you can take a walk or get your heart pumping by exercising. Try slower movements with yoga or pilates....

Zinc

Boost your immune system, and start repairing your body internally with zinc. My (functional medicine) doctor recommended that I incorporate zinc into my diet, by taking a daily supplement, but preferably considering zinc in my food choices. It was explained that zinc could assist with reversing some of the internal damage of my stomach. For most of my life, I've been consuming gluten, probably daily, never realizing that it was wreaking havoc on my intestines. In the beginning, I mainly suffered from constipation. As I got older, bloating and stomach discomfort became a daily thing, along with the constipation. My stomach issues became my life, and began controlling my life, and even my wardrobe. Yes, my scarf collection, and flowy tops expanded. Keeping a scarf on hand daily, in case I needed a cover up for my distended belly. Then came the hiatal hernia and belching, after almost every meal, and I'd sometimes e...
