June Detox & Protective Styling Challenge

 

Hey Loves,

I have decided that it time for me to detox my body.

Each year around my birthday I do some sort of detox.

So this year I will be doing just that!

 

My detox will consist of the following:

Breakfast

Green tea, oatmeal with fruit or Special K cereal

Snack

Fruit

Lunch

Green tea, lean meat (chicken, fish or turkey) grilled or baked w/ green veggie or salad.

Snack

Activa yogurt

Dinner

Lean meat (chicken, fish or turkey) grilled or baked or dinner salad with lean meat.

Dessert : yogurt parfait ( low-fat yogurt, vanilla or plain with fruit and honey)

And lots and lots of water 2 gallons daily.

I believe this is exactly what I need.

I’ve been desiring more energy, healthier hair and nails, clearer skin, and a smaller waist.

I will have a bikini ready body by July 4th!

Or darn close to bikini ready. LOL!

Along with this detox I have been doing a protective styling challenge.

I have been wearing Genie Locs now for 3 weeks, I will continue to do this challenge until the month of July.

I am wanting to  grow healthier hair.

So I have taken pictures of my hair before.

I will post the after pics once the challenge is complete.

If you would like to join me on my detox or protective styling challenge please do so.

I have started a little early, but both challenges  I will do throughout the month of June.

XOXO

OMG I Found a Natural Hair Product Line that Dupes Miss Jessie!

Hey Loves,

Am I the only one that LOVES Miss Jessie’s products but, think they are WAY over priced?

I know I’m not the ONLY one.

Well ladies I thought I would stop by and share with  you  a “new to me” product line: III Sisters of Nature.

 And wait ladies this line has a copy of the most popular Miss Jessie products as well as Kinky Curly Custard.

Now each product in this line is about $12.99.

WOW!

I’m  planing  to do a review on their entire line.

Buy in order for me to do a fair review I like to use each product for about a week before I post the review.

Right now I am doing a month-long protective style challenge.

My hair is in Genie Locs, so I wont be able to review the product line until July.

Coming from a “product junkie” I’m  about to have a MAJOR  FIT.

I have so many products I have purchased I plan to review and can’t right now.

So if any of you ladies have tried any of these products from this line please let me know how they worked for you.

XOXO

A Much Needed Haircut!

Hello Loves,

Oh my I have so been MIA.

But I am BACK!

I’ve been working hard and getting adjusted to my new job/career.

And ladies you know when you have adjustments in your life you tend to purge

your closet, your life, your look and refine some things.

You know, ladies.

I have been styling a lot of hair lately, natural hair that is.

While styling one of my clients hair I realized how important a  precise

After blow dry and flat iron using Cantu Shea Butter Conditioner. Lots of breakage and split ends.

haircut is.

The right haircut can make you look and feel like an total new person!

So while I was riding on a hair high I decided to give my teenage daughter a

MUCH needed haircut.

I even decided to straighten it!

Here are some shots we took.

Removed most of the damaged ends. Looks better! Feels better!

 

 

 

 

Finished cut. Looks so much healthier and fuller.

My New Juicer

Hey Loves,

I finally purchaesd a juicer!

I decided to do some research on them first.

I figured whatever worked for Phil on Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead was exactly what I wanted.

You can purchase a juicer off the website fatsickandnearlydead.com but I just didn’t want to wait.

So I purchased something very close!

It is a GNC Deluxe Juicer.

It has 2 speed  controls , 700 watt motor, comes with juice pitcher, pulp container, large feed tube and its dishwasher safe.

I purchased it for $49.

I’m on my way to a healthier me.
