My Hair Care Regimen.....



And my attempt to do my first video blog....ahhhhhh. The video quality sucks but it is what it is. I'm hoping to get a new camera soon so look forward to better videos but yeah. This video just talks about my current hair care regimen.

Here are the links to the homemade products I made from Napturals85.com

Flax Seed Gel recipe

The water mist is a combination of 2 parts water, 1 part aloe vera juice, and about 1 Tbl spoon of veggie glycerine.

Please leave comments I'm on the hunt for a deep conditioner, co-wash, and clarifying shampoo.

Happy Transitioning!!!!!

Health Slips: How to eat healthy on a budget




How To Eat Organic Healthy on a Budget! | Whole Foods (by DearNaptural85)
I took some tips from this video on how to shop on a budget. Her video focuses on a couple but you can use her tips for a single person as well.
As far as my shopping tips:
  • Plan you meals for the week and Inventory your pantry and fridge. I use this meal planner sheet: http://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/meal-planner.html
  • Make a shopping list and only buy what's on your list. Set a budget and stay within your budget.
  • Buy stuff on sale and use instore coupons. HEB has tons of them.
  • Avoid the middle lanes if you can.
  • Only buy what you need and not what you want.
  • Never go hungry....you will buy more.
  • Avoid samples if you can because they tend rope you into buying stuff that is unhealthy or over priced. 
  • Buy some of your veggies frozen. They are just as good as fresh and if you don't use them that week they are there for the next. 
These are just some of my shopping tips...hopefully it helps you decrease your bill and some weight.

Happy Transitioning!!
