For the Love of Water- The Cucumber Lemon Water Challenge




Lemons, cucumbers, and mint would be my favorite additives for boring water.  It tastes pretty awesome, and it's considered to be a natural way to detox the body, every morning before you get into your daily routine/habits - dairy, caffeine, meat, stress.

Consuming this morning detox promotes beauty on the outside by protecting and healing our skin.  But in addition to glowing skin, this detox works on tackling those internal issues as well- getting rid of the unnecessary junk in our system.

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
