Something on the inside

Working to make my inside as natural and healthy as my outside is easier said than done.
No heat in my hair...done
Protective styling...done
No chems in my hair or skin...done
No junk food....hold the presses
No chocolate, no chips...{lips start to quiver}
Why oh why does it have to be this?  I decided in 2006-2007 to go natural and never looked, even on my worst hair days, and trust me there was a lot of those. However, to go one week with healthy eating and exercise is the end of the world for me.  But I keep trying.
Tonight I marinated and baked tofu.  YUMMY!!

I posted it on Facebook.

Now on to my hair.  HELLO HYDRATION  my hair loves it.  I continue make quest to stick to affordable products instead of trying to keep up with the jones'.  Last time I looked my name was Vines baby!  HH has a very light fragrance and wonderful slip.  My hair was feeling so dry and brittle on the ends I thought it would just crumple like potato chips.  I mixed the HH, a detangler and coconut oil to baggy my ends the night before.  Then after washing with a black soap bar I applied more HH and could immediately feel how soft my hair was and how easily the comb ran through it.
Everyday as soon as I get home I spritz my ends and tuck them up for the night.  My twist will come out this weekend and I hope to feel maybe a slight deference in my ends.
A friend reminded me that store bought conditioners do have chemicals but I feel satisfied that I am at least limiting the chemicals by the choice of products I use.

Keep it real, keep it natural
