Saturday Hair Care: Avocado Hair Mask

Hello Saturday all! :) We are now on day 3 of the Lunar New Year, technically the last also, even though the "new year" goes on for another 7 days. It has been one heck of a busy three days, but finally today, I can let out a sigh of relief. A whole 'nother year until all these crazies will happen again.

I have some time on my hand earlier before I had to get ready for the fam gathering tonight. I have been neglecting everything about me, from my hair to my skin. Neither of which are happy with me might I add. I'll worry about my face tomorrow when I have more time, but for today, let's focus on the hair.

My hair is as natural as it gets, virgin hair as some hair enthusiast might call it. I haven an abundant head of healthy, thick, course hair. I usually don't do much to keep them shiny and healthy but not all things stay that way. I shouldn't really complain because it really isn't that bad but since it is the new years, I am supposed to wash my hair everyday for the last three days. I normally wash it every other day or every two days in the dead Winter months. With all the excessive washing, my hair has become very dry and any ounce of hydration is stripped from my hair.

Cue the DIY recipe for a hydrating hair mask made from avocado and banana, rinsed in apple cider vinegar. While the mask already will give you all the hydration needed, the apple cider vinegar will just be an extra boost.

AVOCADO HAIR MASK

What You'll Need:
- 1/2 Banana
- 1/2 Ripe Avocado
- 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
- Apple Cider Vinegar

Throwback Thursday: Looking Back On Spring/Summer 2014 Beauty Trends

I cannot believe it has been 13 years already… Time sure does fly by rather quickly. I remember exactly what I was doing that day too, when news of the terrorist attack happened. I was in 6th grade, getting ready for our morning assignment when the teaches caught news of the situation and switched gears over to turning on the TV. We did nothing for the rest of that day but stayed glued to the TV to watch the news reports. Although i knew the severity of the attacks then, I wasn’t aware of how severe it was… if that made ANY sense at all. Like, I was old enough to realize how messed up the whole attack was, but at the same time, I wasn’t that old to grasp the emotional anguish that was to sweep America.

Now I fully understand the dark mark that one day created in America’s history. To this day, we’re still mourning those who unfortunately lost their lives and those heroes who sacrificed theirs to save others. We will always remember…

For those who are personally affected, lost family members to the tragedy, my thoughts goes out to you today. Stay strong friends!

Since today is Thursday and the near ending of Spring, I thought I should do a throwback of the Spring/Summer trends. Let's look back on the rends together and see what trends were your favorite? Least favorite? Which trend did you rock the most and which ones you neglected.
