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...

Kelp Powder - Mineral Hair Treatment

View my sea kelp natural hair treatment I tried over the weekend. It is a simple process that offers great results- shine and additional minerals that are great for the hair. My concoction included kelp powder, aloe vera juice, and oils. I decided to use coconut and red palm oil in my mixture, but feel free to use whatever oils work well with your hair- almond, apricot, etc. Leave the mixture on for 2 to 4 hours. It's easy to wash out, and the smell is minimal. The first pic of my hair shows my texture prior to the treatment. View the sheen and length after treatment. This is a completely natural home remedy. Care to learn more about kelp and how it supports hair growth, and the overall body-depending on how you use it.

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), s...
