DIY | Banana Avocado Coconut Hair Smoothie

I've been making a smoothie almost every day since the year started thank to #Simple7 with Simple Green Smoothies.  Since my very first 30daygreensmoothie challenge with them, finally I've almost achieved 30 straight days of green smoothies - 1.25yrs later, lol.  This weekend, I whipped up possibly the most incredibly smooth, deliciously smoothie yet!  But! It wasn't for drinking, this time it had a different fate.  But OhMy did it smell amazing and I was dying to drink it.

Seems like Winter is trying to sneak in through the back door?  Yes, even all the way out here in the middle of the Atlantic the cold is creeping in - I just can't escape!  Since there's no running from it, better be ready and usher it along.  On the bright side, I can dig into my accessory drawer again, hello Mr Scarf,  and light leather jacket, I've missed you.

The Drip Dry Method | My Secret to Extreme Moisture Retention in Tightly Coiled Kinky Hair

Tightly coiled kinks fall all the way to the end of the moisture retention stick.  Natural oils don't make their way down the hair shaft to seal the cuticles and so the hair is relegated to dryness.  As a conscientious healthy hair practitioner you are burdened with a moisture and seal routine every 2 days to ensure your hair isn't lost to the dark, I mean dry side.  You've gotta keep that hair moisturized - moisturized hair is happy hair, and happy hair is healthy!

So how do you get healthy moisturized happy hair?

Hurray for Hot Oil Treatments!!!

Its been a long long time since I've done an exclusive hot oil treatment.
