The other day I washed my hair and after I finished, my hair was dry as a whistle. I decided to make myself a homemade deep conditioner. We all know the key to maintaining a good head of natural hair is to retain a great balance of moisture and healthy diet. We wont cover the healthy diet right now but for a few recipes you can check out my other blog here.

This recipe uses all natural ingredients and has little to no chemicals in it. If you suffer from psoriasis, eczema, or any form of dermatitis then this recipe is definitely for you.

Who likes to save money? (raise hand) I do! As a stylist I am always looking for ways to save money when shopping. Recently, I decided to do some spring cleaning to see what is it that was needed to add to my wardrobe. While cleaning I came across some old denim. Instantly, my creative juices begun to overflow.

Replacing Your Pillows

Our pillows help us get a good sleep. They provide a soft cushion for our neck and head and can directly affect our spine. Because most pillows can get lumpy and misshapen (or fall apart) when washed in the washing machine, the question arises regarding how long we should keep our pillows before replacing them with new ones. I’ve done some research on this issue and decided to share my findings with you. You may be surprised at the results.

Most of us cannot afford to buy 100% organic when we grocery shop- I know I can’t. Here’s some information to help you decide what foods are better, i.e. healthier, when organically grown: the Environmental Working Group (EWG) advises that consumers can reduce their pesticide exposure by 80% by avoiding the most contaminated fruits and vegetables and only eating the cleanest ones. If consumers get their USDA-recommended 5 daily servings of fruits and veggies from the 15 most contaminated, they could consume an average of 10 pesticides a day. Consumers who eat the 15 least contaminated conventionally grown produce ingest less than 2 pesticides daily. The “dirty dozen” are the foods with the highest concentrations of pesticides and chemicals — even after washing and peeling, so buy organic whenever possible.
