OIL RINSING FOR SHINE

I love for my hair to have some type of shine to it. What better way to make it shine and to make it extra soft? Oil rinse.

Okay, oil rinsing is when you use essential oils to rinse hair. I usually do it before conditioning hair. I know some people do not shampoo their hair afterwards but I use a no sulfate shampoo so hair will not have that "oily" affect as I had experienced before.

Olive oil nourishes, conditions, and improves the strength and elasticity of your hair.

I normally begin on dry hair.

Mix oils if you like. I used olive oil and cedar-wood oil.
Section off hair and begin to apply enough oil from root to tip
Baggy hair and leave it covered for at least 25 minutes
Rinse hair out

These next few steps are optional but is my normal routine.

After oil rinsing, follow up with a no sulfate shampoo
After shampooing, use a moisture rich conditioner
Set hair as usual.

I shampoo after the oil rinse simply to make sure hair is not too oily so I can flat iron after air-drying.

BOW WOW CHALLENGE: FUNNIEST MEMES

Once again, rapper/actor Shad Moss (Bow Wow/ Lil Bow wow) was caught "insta-lying" again, which created a challenge called "#BowWowChallenge" by social media. It all started with Bow Wow posting a picture about him catching a flight to NYC. The picture he posted was of a private jet and a fancy car outside of it, pretty much indicating that he was about to hop on it. It all went down hill when a fan of his happened to be following Bow Wow's post on IG and saw he posted he was on a private jet (though he didn't state it directly). Once the coach passenger noticed Bow Wow was lying, he took a picture and uploaded to social media, which then prompted a mass influx of people searching the internet to find where Bow Wow had stolen the picture from. Ultimately, they found it and started calling Bow Wow out on his lies. Even rapper, 50 Cent took part in the challenge. LOL

SUNDAY DINNER: HAITIAN RICE AND PEACE WITH SALMON

I had never tried Salmon. Never liked it. Well, that was because I never tried it. Hmm. Nonetheless, I finally gave in and had my first taste of this delicious dish about three months ago and fell in love with it. I do not know much about the fish but I do know that they are bred in fresh water, go to the ocean for a bit but return to the fresh waters to reproduce. Salmon is known as one of the worlds healthiest foods due to it's rich content of Omega-3 and protein. I will make another post about the benefits of Salmon but this post is about Sunday Dinner. Along with the Salmon that yes I will fry ( it will not kill me to have fried food every now and then.), I am also having Haitian style rice and peas. The classic dish in every Haitian home. The peas in the rice with the hint of mushrooms offer a delightful taste to your taste buds. This will be my first time actually trying this recipe but I know it will turn out better than expected.
