Ouidad Water Works Clarifying Shampoo Review

Love this shampoo! It clarifies your hair without stripping color or moisture!

Typically when I see clarifying on a shampoo I avoid it at all costs! My hair is curly, fine, and color treated! I have tried clarifying shampoos before and upon rinsing the product out my hair felt completely dry and ratty! This rinsed clean and I could run my fingers through my hair before I even used my conditioner! Now that is saying something!

I used my normal conditioner and my hair even while wet seemed healthier and moved more freely.

I have a filter on my shower so for this product to still have this kind of effect on my hair, even though I don't have a chlorine build-up tells me that I will be re-purchasing it when this bottle is empty!

Simple, Easy Raw Young Coconut Smoothie or Coconut Mylk

This morning I fixed a Coconut Smoothie or Coconut Mylk for breakfast using a young Thai coconut and it's own water. Once you learn how to open the coconut, it's a breeze and so yummy!!  I have tried the coconut milk drinks at the grocery store and thought they were disgusting! This is awesome!!!




Easiest way to open is to leave it in the wrap it comes in, like saran wrap, take a sharp kitchen knife, peel off the outer husk, when you see the 3 veins, stick the knife in at an end to the vein, then wiggle, it will simply open in a circle, very cool when you get it right but it may take some practice. Will try to post a video soon.
 Simply pour the coco's water into a blender, scoop out the meat with a spoon, make sure it's white meat, and blend.

I use a Vitamix, it's expensive but it's so worth it!

Drink up all the great live enzymes and the health benefits of young coconuts!

Did you know that Coconut water is the best electrolyte source in the world?  Same levels as blood plasma!

People in countries where coconuts are part of the daily diet have a higher metabolic rate, lower serum cholesterol, and the women do not suffer typical signs of menopause than those here in the United States! 

Enjoy!!!
