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.

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.   Check out the link from Herb Wisdom for additional info.   http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-kelp.html

Me, Myself, and I

Life can be so fast paced, non-stop at times. There are days when I say, 'I'd like to get off this ride and take a break!'  And I will slow down if at all possible, meaning saying no to someone, I can't help, I can't go.  Sometimes it's just necessary for me to check in with myself and realize when too much is too much.  Just two weeks ago, I was laid out on a beach, on an island, alone. No children, no husband, not even a girlfriend.  Just me, my music, and a good book.  It's rare that I get time alone, but I believe it's highly necessary.  I've gotten a few raised eyebrows because I have taken several trips without my children, a few outside of the country.  I don't feel guilty one bit.  I'm certainly not a perfect mother, but I know that quality time is important in my household, along with family fun, activities, and traveling.  Although challenging, stealing alone time really needs to be made a priority.  This time can attribute t...
