I Love Clif

Being that I am such a busy diva these days, I try to plan some snacks for on-the-go (including lots of H2O). I am always on the search for something convenient, clean and yummy all in one besides fruit! And believe me that can come to be a challenge. I'm totally down for granola bars, but sometimes a girl just wants a little bit more! So let me be the first to tell you that you know longer have to result to your cravings for perhaps chocolate chip cookies. This convenient, clean, ORGANIC snack will satisfy your wildest sweet tooth, as well as give you a boost of energy. Cliff bars are all natural and organic and packed full of wholesome grains, fiber, protein, minerals, and vitamins. They are great to help you get through the day or even your daily workouts! With almost 20 different flavors to choose from, this bar brings more than a taste of heaven, it brings nutrients for a healthy body. And just so you can have a idea of whats in these things here are the ingredients for Oatmeal Raisin Walnut (my fav!)

Organic Brown Rice Syrup, ClifPro® (Soy Rice Crisp [Soy Protein Isolate, Rice Flour, Malt Extract, Calcium Carbonate], Organic Roasted Soybeans, Organic Soy Flour), Organic Rolled Oats, Dried Apricots (Apricots, Evaporated Cane Juice, Rice Flour, Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid), Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, ClifCrunch® (Organic Oat Fiber, Inulin [Chicory Extract], Organic Milled Flaxseed, Organic Oat Bran, Psyllium), Organic Dried Apples, Organic Date Paste, Organic Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Salt, Colored With Annatto.

So next time you pay a visit to your local grocery store or gas station grab one to go. You'll love Clif too.....lol

How About Dessert... for Your Hair?

Hello to all and welcome to my new and improved blog site:) So I wanted to put people (yes Fellas you too) onto this new product that I have been dying to try. During my quick hide away for the weekend, the honey and I went out for our Saturday stroll, and its always a MUST for me to pay a visit to the Whole Foods Market. So as I was looking around for my favorite shampoo and conditioner by Jason's (http://www.jason-natural.com/), there it was...Kinky Curly Curling Custard! I was in such disbelieve! It couldn't be sitting there right before my very eyes. I swear my day just became the best day ever ..lol. I was first introduced to this product by word of mouth about three years ago. Then... the product was only available online, so ever since I have been on the search. Recently I also noticed it in a issue of Essence magazine as one of the top best natural haircare products. So with saying all that it was a must have! So I made the purchase and I'm so excited to try it out. So stay tuned for my personal review of this product. You'd be surprised at all the different types of organic and natural haircare products out there on the market. Natural haircare really has made a difference for the overall health of my hair. Although I still get relaxers, the use of organic products really adds shine and strength to my hair. So slowly transitioning really is much easier then a drastic change to going natural with your hair. By reducing your use of lye relaxers, and hot styling tools, your hair will become noticeably healthier. I also like to give my hair a nice mini vacation after I have been wearing it straight for sometime and do my wash-n-go look. So I hope my hair enjoys this five star vacation with Kinky Curly Curl Custard :) (http://www.kinky-curly.com/ )

Product Review

So Wednesday morning was the moment of truth! Kinky Curly Curling Custard was put to the test and let me tell you upon application I was in LOVE! The first thing that hit me was the aroma of this product, it alone is so fresh and delicious. You immediately get that scent of all NATURAL! The consistency of the custard is very similar to that of normal hair gel, so its pretty basic. To begin application I started by sectioning my hair while still wet. I then took about a tablespoon or so and dragged it through each section. Finally I just scrunch scrunch scrunch! Instantly my waves began to pop! Quick and easy just how I like it. End results..... beautiful waves and a strut in my walk....lol. So I give my overall experience with Kinky Curly Curling Custard an A-. The only thing I would do differently next time is limit the amount of custard I use. This is because my hair ended up drying a bit on the hard side. I usually prefer softer waves and this high performance product is extremely concentrated. Therefore a small amount of this stuff really goes a long way. So it is confirm, for anyone who's looking to go natural or sport the occasional wet-n-go look, this is a great product to add to the collection. The 16 ounce jar will run you about $26. If your lucky enough to have a Whole Foods Market in your location you can grab it there, otherwise you will have to order it online. I know the price tag is a bit heavy, but remember your paying for the quality of the product. You will have a fabulous style all while achieving healthy beautiful hair so its worth it! Enjoy:)
