Nom Nom Now ~ Home-cooked meals for your dog, delivered Review

Home-cooked meals for your dog, delivered.

The easy way to feed your dog right. Finally there’s an easy way to feed your dog healthy, home-cooked food without the fuss. We take out all the hassle and guesswork for you, delivering you just what your dog needs in perfectly portioned packs. No fillers, no phony stuff—just fresh, real, yummy food.

You will receive 14 fresh, home-cooked meals every week.  ​ In the beginning you will add Nom Nom Now to your dogs current food. Starting with the 25% Transition Meal Pack. I added the pack to their dry food along with warm water. My dogs Jacky & Molly weren't to sure at first with the addition to their current food but after 2-3 days they loved it. When I would take the Nom Nom Now packets out of the fridge they would get   excited and wait for dinner.  You feed them twice a day on Nom Nom Now. Before I was only feeding my girls once a day (in the evening) I do notice they are much happier eating twice a day now.  After a few days your packets of Nom Nom Now will increse to 50%, 75% & 100% at 100% your dogs will just be eating pure Nom Nom Now food.

How It Works

Tell us about your dog Tell us your dog's weight, age, activity level, breed, and any allergies or health issues we should know about. Choose one of our many recipes and complete your profile in minutes.

Meals are cooked fresh, to order Based on the information you give us, we will add your dog's order to our weekly cook. Everything is made fresh to order each week, from whole, restaurant-quality ingredients, and never frozen.

Servings are (actually) perfectly portioned No scooping, no defrosting, no guesswork. Your dog's meals are perfectly portioned based on our veterinarian nutritionist's recommendations, and our kitchen staff will measure out each individual meal into its own bag, making it easier for you.

NomNomNow is delivered to your doorA week’s worth of NomNomNow meals are delivered (free of charge), directly to your door. Simply store them in your fridge until you’re ready to serve.

Rip, serve & relax Because we made sure to do the work so that you won’t have to, meal time will now be a breeze. Simply remove one NomNomNow meal from the fridge, tear it open, and pour it in your dog’s bowl. Now, just watch your dog thrive! (And resist their begging for more).

Blake's All Natural Food ~ Pot Pies~ Review

OUR PROMISE
Home Grown
WHERE YOU COME FROM SAYS SOMETHING IMPORTANT ABOUT WHO YOU ARE.

Something special happens on family farms: You grow up with no clear line between work and home. That’s the way it was when Clara Blake started the farm here in 1929, and that’s the way it is today with our daughters, Blake and Lucy. At home — when Amy and I see them off to school, when relatives come over, around the dinner table — they hear us talking about our business; they hear us working out problems; they hear us making decisions for the right reasons.
They visit their dad at work and see him working with their grandparents, in an office converted from an old family room in the 1700s farmhouse that has anchored this farm property for 75 years. They’re learning about food, of course, and maybe to worry about the weather, but also something deeper. Something about values and the importance of family.
Some food companies are started by chefs, and some food companies are started by investors. Our roots are closer to working people, perhaps a little deeper in the soil. And though farming is no longer a central part of our business, that farmer’s sense of humility and common sense guide us still. There’s a straight line through.

Blake's All Natural Foods makes some WONDERFUL Pot Pies that are perfect for lunch or dinner. 
I have been enjoying Blake's Pot Pies in my lunch for the last few months.
They are easy to prepare and taste so fresh & homemade. 
Each Pot Pie is packed full of tender meat, garden veggies 
and a flaky crust. 
Perfect meal, pair with a salad and your have everything you need
for a homemade dinner.

Holiday Gift Giving/Stocking Stuffer Ideas ~ Coral LLC Coral Cinnamon6 Review

Coral Cinnamon6 243 Capsules

Coral LLC is one of the largest importer/suppliers of Caribbean above-sea coral in the United States and the world. We currently supply coral minerals to more than 30 countries worldwide.
Coral minerals have been used for thousands of years as dietary supplements for trace and macro minerals. Coral contains essential bioavailable calcium — plus 73 other essential minerals — and has provided fantastic health results for our founder and CEO along with thousands of others around the globe.
Since 1998, Coral LLC has been innovative in its use of coral minerals and continues to find new applications and partners to work with. Coral LLC was one of the first coral supplement provider to pulverize coral into an ultra-fine powder and offer it in a capsule or as a powder supplement. Coral LLC also developed the first-ever coral based toothpaste, utilizing coral to help restore, clean and whiten teeth.
Over the years, many companies such as Procter and Gamble, Source Naturals, Nature's Bounty and Coral LLC have discovered the uniquely great health benefits of coral minerals. All of these companies have managed to use coral in different ways, including in agriculture, cosmetics, sports, water enhancement,  and more. Product quality, consistent inventory, innovation, customer programs, and excellent customer service separate Coral LLC from the long list of companies that utilize coral minerals.

I take two Coral LLC products per day, have been for many months.  One product I take is Coral Mag Fizz, I take it for calcium absorption. Since having my thyroid removed in 2008 I have had issues with calcium absorbtion. I was taking other over the counter and perscription pills to help with calcium issues and decided to try Coral Mag Fizz. So far it's been the best product and works perfect for me. No more perscription pills or over the counter pills are needed.  Just add a scoop of this powder daily into your water. It has a yummy lemon lime taste

The newest Coral LLC product I have been using is Coral Cinnamon6.  These easy to swallow capsules assist in maintaining weight loss by supporting healthy blood sugar.  I take 3 capsules a day, one before each meal. ​ Each calsule contains: Chromium Polynicotinate Gymnema Sylvestre American Ginseng Nopl Cactus Bitter Melon Fenugreek This supplement harnesses cinnamon and other powerful herbs to help support healthy blood sugar*, naturally Cinnamon 6 delivers calcium from above-sea EcoSafe coral, Chromium Colynicotinate and a proprietary blend of cinnamon extract and powder, Gymnema Sylvestre, American Ginseng, Nopal Cactus, Bitter Melon and Fenugreek – a centuries-old combination known for its powerful health effects.​

Cinnamon itself has been used medicinally for 4,000 years, most notably in regulating glucose, though its benefits are broad and many.
            “An estimated 100 million Americans have diabetes or prediabetes, caused by high blood sugar, “ said Coral LLC Managing Partner Jason DeWitt. “Coral LLC Cinnamon 6 offers a simple and natural way to proactively support healthy glucose levels.”

Purchase Coral Cinnamon6 Here

Coral LLC Cinnamon 6 is available in a 243-count veggie capsule container for $49.95 (MSRP). Recommended dose is three capsules, three times daily. Visit www.coralcalcium.com to purchase or locate a nearby retailer. Coral LLC, the leading brand of coralminerals, is one of the original coral calcium mineral companies in the U.S., using only EcoSafe above-sea coral in its products.

Add a complex, delicious note to your snacking routine when you enjoy this low-carb dark orange chocolate after a meal or as an afternoon pick-me-up.

I have never really craved chocolate or been a big fan of it until I started eating Keto. 
I guess when you tell yourself you can't have sweets you start craving them.
So I started looking into ways to get something sweet without all the added sugar and calories. 
ChocoPerfection was the perfect choice. 
This wonderful chocolate comes in a variety of flavors that melt in your mouth, giving you the perfect amount of sweetness to cure any chocolate craving. 
My favorites are the  Dark Chocolate Orange  &  Dark Chocolate with Almonds. 

 The BEST TASTING SUGAR FREE CHOCOLATE EVER

The the main sweetener in ChocoPerfection is chicory root fiber. Chicory root is a prebiotic fiber that provides unique health benefits such as not raising blood sugar levels, supporting weight loss, cleansing candida and strengthening the immune system.

​How does ChocoPerfection help with weight loss?
Product creator, Mary Jo Kringas, who was overweight her whole life, lost 75 lbs. in one year by eating 2-3 ChocoPerfection bars a day as part of the ChocoPerfection Chocolate Lover's Diet. Mary Jo struggled with her weight for thirty years until she discovered that she could lose weight by keeping her blood sugar levels low. When blood sugar rises, insulin is produced, and insulin is known as "the fat producing hormone." ChocoPerfection does not raise blood sugar levels and this helps greatly with weight loss.

Do you need to eat ChocoPerfection to lose weight?
No, however, it helps a great deal. Most dieters are addicted to sugar, and frequently have a yeast infection which causes them to crave sweets even more. Even one small apple can raise blood sugar by more than 100 points, and will call forth the production of insulin. It is important to have snacks that taste sweet but do not raise blood sugar, feed a yeast infection, or cause further sugar cravings. ChocoPerfection is sweetened from chicory root fiber that does not raise blood sugar levels, plus the high fiber in ChocoPerfection creates a feeling of "fullness" to stop sugar cravings.

I have now lost over 25lbs eating Keto, I have struggled with my weight since 2008) after having my thyroid removed due to thyroid cancer), adding ChocoPerfection to my daily Keto Lifestyle has helped me keep the weight off and not struggle with sweet tooth cravings.
I have to credit this wonderful chocolate in helping me loose weight and keeping the weight off.

Holiday Gift Giving ~ GoodLight Candle Review

Goodlight was started by David and his good friend Jon. They meet each other in the 90's in Telluride, Colorado after college. Like a lot of people in Telluride at the time they were tree hugging hippy ski bums. They still are now, they just have shorter hair and don't get to spend as much time up on the hill. Jon was hand-dipping beeswax tapers in his home studio and selling them locally when David first met him. Before long Jon's operation rew into Bluecorn Naturals, now the country's premier sourse of beeswax candles.

In 2005 David came to Manhattan for a month to work with Jon at his Bluecorn retail booth in the Union Square Holiday Market. It was at that pointthat jon told David of his vision to develop an affordable, non-toxic candle to replace the paraffin votives burning on the tables of New York retaurants and everywhere else. Although Bluecorn's candles are all natural and non-toxic, beeswax is too expensive to compete on a mass scale with the much cheaper paraffin- so the key was affordable.  For the next four years Jon and David worked together to delevop Jon's idea into reality and in April of 2010 they launched GoodLight Natural Candles.

Once GoodLight was shinning bright enough Davids wife sarah joined the company, allowing Jon to go back to tending Bluecorn full-time. Sarah and David now run GoodLight's operations out of their office in San Francisco. 

I was able to try a huge selection of awesome GoodLight candles for myself. A few of my favorites are the scented Travel Tins. I received one 6oz Eucalyptus Citrus and one 2oz Fig Grapefruit scented Travel Tin candle. The 6oz candle will burn for up to 30 hours and the 2 oz will burn for 15 hours. They are made of 100% palm wax and have a cotton wick. The Eucalyptus Citrus blend is subtle and fresh, simutaneously reminiscent of a well-deserved trip to the spa or a summer drive down California's Highway 1 with the top down. It is bright, refreshing and invigorating. Bright the outdoors in with this fresh scent.

I loooooove, love the sweet and fruity Fig Grapefruit blend. It is GoodLights most popular scent and once you smell it you will understand why. It's like olfactory candy, really. It's a beautiful way to brighten any room or lighten any mood. I am a huge fan of citrus scents and this Fig Grapefruit candle is delicious.  These super cute travel tins allow you to bring your Goodlight candle with you everywhere you go.

Take them with you when you stay in a hotel or give them to friends and family when they stay in your home as a guest. With this travel tin your guests can fill their room with a beautiful aroma and then take the candle home with them when they leave. Next time you go camping make sure you bring your GoodLight travel tin with you for a romantic picnic table ambiance.

GoodLight candles also come in the classic votive that burns for 15 hours. Of course being a citrus lover I adore the Lemongrass Cassia scented votives. This vibrant scent is the perfect blend of citrus and spice, simultaneously recalling and outdoor walk in Northern Thailand and a holiday gathering at home. Cassia refers to cassia bark which we call cinnamon in Noth America. Everyone loves a votive so this holiday season make sure to grab plenty of these for gifts, stocking stuffers and of course to decorate your home with when your guests are over. Everyone will ask what that delicious scent is and then you can show off your exquisite GoodLight candles.

These dainty little tea light candles like all the other GoodLight products are infused with the blend of pure botanical and essential oils.  These oils are derived from plants, extracted by cold-pressing, steam or vacuum distillation. As you might expect from GoodLight, there are no phthalates, synthetic or artificial fragrances, chemicals, lead or paraffin. Just like the unscented foundation line, the wax is 100% clean-burning palm wax, and wicks are pure cotton....because you breathe what you burn.

The Lavender scent is one of the most popular scents. Lavender has long been used in aromatherapy for its relaxing and soothing properties. With 39 species in the Lavandula genus of flowers and a wide variety or cross-pollinated hybrids to choose from, finding the very best pure essential oils for GoodLight candles took some time but they picked just the right one. I love to light these relaxing candles and place them around my bedroom and bathtub. When in the tub I close my eyes and they make me feel like I am at the spa.

​The Scented Line comes in Travel Tins, Votives and Tea Lights. Available in the delicious blends of Lavendar, Fig Grapefruit, Lemongrass Cassia and Eucalyptus Citrus.

GoodLight has a wide variety of Natural Unscented Candles to choose from. You can get a GoodLight in a Votive, Tea Light, Pillar, Taper, Chanukah, Shabbat and even Birthday candles. They truely have a candle for every occasion.

I have a set of four 8 inch unscented taper candles. They burn for about 7 hours and are perfect for the dinner table. I love to decorate our dinner table especially at the holidays and with the scent of warm food and fresh pine in the air I find an unscented candle is perfect. It adds that beautiful flicker to the room without figthing the other scents that fill the.room. GoodLight Taper candles come in a 8 inch, 10 inch and 4 inch selection. The Pillar candles are also perfect to decorate with. You might like just one alone on a table or if you are like me you might want to place a number of them together. The pillar candles come in a variety of sizes so I like to mix and match the sizes when decorating. You can get these Pillars in 2" x 4.6",

2" X 6",  3" x 3" and 3" x 6". You can buy these pillars individually, in a pack of 6 or in a master case of 48.

Holiday Gift Giving/Stocking Stuffers/Gift Basket Ideas ~ Fresh Wave Review

Fresh Wave has by far the
BEST odor removing products in the world.
I LOVE reviewing for this company.
They have a true product that does what it says it will do. 
NO masking the odor with overwelming fragrance. 
Read below how Fresh Wave
can help you have an odor free home. 

Everybody has bad smells in their life. From the bathroom, kitchen and diaper pail to sports equipment and the car, not-so-nice smells are a not-so-wonderful fact of life. But here’s another fact. You don’t need harsh chemicals or heavily perfumed air fresheners to get rid of the stink. Not when you’ve got Fresh Wave.

Fresh Wave® natural odor removing products use simple, pure and natural ingredients — water and natural extracts of lime, pine needle, aniseed, clove and cedarwood -- to get rid of organic and inorganic odors. As in gone. Adios. Goodbye. Rather than covering up odors with perfumes and chemicals, our products actually make the odor molecules disappear. So when we say that odor is outta here…we’re not kidding. 

​​ odor removing spray Spray away odors like you mean it. Don't cover them up!  Our spray can be used on clothing, pet bedding, backpacks, sports gear, shoes and trash cans, just to name a few. "How?" you ask. Just shake. Spray. Smile. For stronger odors, a few more spritzes will do the trick. When you smell "fresh air,” it’s working. Really. It’s that easy. ​

I have told the same story every time I review for Fresh Wave and will tell it again. 
We have a skunk problem where I live. I think the stinky things love my dogs. They come by the house almost nightly, do something to get the dogs attention and then spray. Only once have they actually sprayed the dogs, but they always stink up the house. I can't stand the smell. It's awful.... I keep a bottle of Fresh Wave Odor Removing Spray in EVERY room of my house.... All it takes it 1-2 sprays and that awful odor goes away. 
This stuff is awesome. 
It doesn't mask the smell with strong perfume smells. It just takes it away. 
​Within seconds, it's gone. 
The spray is also great in the bathroom and kitchen.

Every child wants one thing for the holidays.........A PUPPY!!!!!!! Who doesn't want a puppy? Peppy Pups are the perfect way to fulfill your little ones biggest wish of getting a puppy. I have four dogs and they are a handful. Between the cost of food and the clean up it's almost impossible to keep up so I know the struggles parents have when asked for a puppy for the holidays. The simple solution to this predicament is to give your kids a Peppy Pup this year and skip the cost of food. This little puppy will not make a mess or bark uncontrollably in the night. Peppy Pups are soooooo cool they don't even require batteries.

Peppy Pups have a spring in their step and will bounce after their owner on a leash. Peppy Pups will run, jump and walk right next to you all without one single battery. I think this is so cool. We have all been in that position where our kids open gift after gift and can't play with any of them because you forgot to spend $100 on different sized batteries. Peppy Pups are ready for their first walk right out of the box.

Peppy Pups are super cuddly and snuggly. Soft enough to take to bed and keep your child company in the night. You can get a Peppy Pup in black and white or soft brown. They are soooo adorable no matter which color you choose. If you have two little ones then you can get one of each color and they can go on walks together. This is a great way to keep the kids active and entertained. Take your Peppy Pups to the store or on walks at the park without needing to bring poopy bags!!

Holiday Gift Giving ~ Eden BodyWorks Review & Giveaway Round Four (1 Winner a week for 4 weeks)

EDEN BodyWorks was the brainchild of Jasmine Lawrence when she was just a child herself. At 11 years old, Jasmine faced her first beauty challenge. Herhair was badly damaged and she was searching for natural products to nurture and restore her hair back to health. With no solution in sight, Jasmine took to her kitchen and concocted her own remedy. And there, the EDEN BodyWorks story begins.

EDEN BodyWorks provides natural products that integrate wellness and beauty inspired by nature to restore and maintain the hair and body’s original design.

I love Eden BodyWorks collections with a passion. They have a delicious variety of hair products. Eden BodyWorks product line consists of Peppermint Tea Tree, Jojoba Monoi, Coconut Shea and they even have a kids collection called Eden Kids Collection Coco Shea.
​
I have been enjoying their Coconut Shea product line. This line smells amazing. It has a soft, warm, coconut scent that takes you to the islands. It is relaxing and delicious. 

​ ​I use the Coconut Shea Leave-In Conditoner right after I wash my hair and then towel it dry. It's amazing! You add the amount you need and then style just your hair. It does not leave your hair looking greasy or weigh it down at all. It will soften your curls and you still have the bounce and movement you want. I have always loved leave-in conditioners. My hair is super curly and gets tangled easily. Eden BodyWorks Leave-in Conditioner allows me to brush my hair out easily before styling and keeps it feeling soft. It also smells so delicious, the scent alone will keep you relaxed all day.

Coconut Shea Cleansing Cowash is a sulfate-free, no suds gentle cleansing conditioner cream. It removes residue and build up between regular washes and it promotes healthy hair environment for growth.  Washing hair with shampoo daily can strip your hair of it's natural oils but at times my hair can get really yucky between washes from work and working out. I hate being forced to wash daily because my hair tends to dry out and be extra frizzy and not so soft.

This Cowash is the perfect solution for those between days. It removes icky sweat and residues without totally striping my hair of oils. After using it my hair feels clean, soft to the touch and my curls are light and bouncy.

Coconut Shea Natural Curl Defining Creme is the perfect way to style your hair and keep frizz to a minimum. Apply Defining Creme to dry or damp hair. Finger comb product through your hair until the level of curl definition desired is reached. Diffuse or air dry, as needed. This will keep your curls clean and together all day long without looking crispy or crunchy. I love that I can get perfect ringlets and with thisCurl Defining Creme and they hold tight without getting all frizzy. Particularly

during the winter when weather is rough on curly hair. You curly hair girls know what I'm talking about. With wind and moisture your curls tend to get out of control and frizzy all over. This humidity-resistant formulation to define and separate curls and waves. This product infuses moisture to strengthen hair, provides frizz control, and optimizes style definition.

My man doesn't even have curly hair but he loves to use this product because it keep his hair styled how he wants it but it's still soft enough for me to run my fingers through. It's soooo much better than sprays, waxes or mouse.

Check out the entire line of Eden BodyWorks products. There is something for everyone.

In my neighborhood we have a ton of solicitors. Sometimes it's a daily thing. Someone knocking on our door trying to sell us something. I don't like ignoring the knocks but at the same time it gets annoying. But I always end up answering the door just in case it's a neighbor coming over for some reason or another. 
For the longest time I wanted a "No Soliciting" sign, but never found one I liked. 
We have a mini Dachshund (that we love) and I came across a poorly made "Dachshund No Soliciting" sign on the internet thinking it was so cute and just what I wanted. BUT it had horrible reviews and made poorly. So I messaged VinylDisorder asked them if it was something they could make for me. 
I knew it would be excellent quality, the size and shape I wanted and a perfect fit to my front door. 
I already had a beautiful " WELCOME " cling on my front door from VinylDisorder and wanted my "No Soliciting" to match somewhat. VinylDisorder went above and beyond to make this sign extra special and perfect. 
When it arrived I was so excited. I rolled it out, set it under a few books to flatten out. 
Picked out the size board I wanted to put it on and painted it the green background color to match my house. 
Peeled off the vinyl cling on one side and attached it to my freshly painted board, pressing firmly as I peeled off the backing and attached the cling to my board. Added a stick to secure the whole thing into a flowerpot out front and perfection, it was done. Easy and wonderful. I am so excited about how it turned out. 
Best part, I will have no more solicitors at my door.

Holiday Gift Giving ~ Mielle Organics Hair Products Review & Giveaway

Mielle Organics is a hair and skin care company that uses all natural ingredients. Since inception, Mielle Organics’ products have taken the hair care market by storm. After mere months, Mielle Organics has been widely recognized for its results-driven products and excellent customer service.

Mielle Organics launched in 2014 with the creation of the first Mielle Organics product, the Advanced Hair Formula, a unique proprietary blend of herbs, amino acids and minerals to support healthy hair, skin and nails, and immune system. After popular demand, Mielle Organics began producing products customers demanded with the introduction of the the Mint Almond Oil, acclaimed for its scalp sensation, root stimulation that aid hair growth and illustrious shine.

​Today, Mielle Organics is a global and viral sensation, with orders in over 87 countries around the world. Mielle Organics is armed with an array of products including best sellers: Babassu Oil and Mint Deep Conditioning Protein/Moisture Replenisher, Honey Dew Berry Conditioning Cleanser and the Organic White Peony Ultra Moisturizing Leave In Conditioner, just to name a few. With organic ingredients being its “root to results,” Mielle Organics continues to create a line of natural beauty products for all hair types.

I am super excited to be using the Mielle Organics Healthy Hair Regiman Bundle Pack 1. This bundle comes complete with Deep  Conditioner, C0-Wash, Hair Oil and Vitamins.

The Mielle Adult Healthy Hair Formula Vitamins with Boitin are the perfect addition to this hair product line. This vitamin comes in pill form and you only need to take two per day with food. This Hair Formula Vitamin is fantastic is your diet lacks nutrients like vitamins, minerals or protein and truly who has time these days to make sure you get enough of this through the foods we eat. Mielle hair formula vitamin is an effective wasy to supporthealthier, stronger, longer, thicker hair. Without the proper amount of vitamins, minerals and protein your hair can become weak so why not start to strengthen it from the inside with these simple pills.

Mielle Organics Detangling Co-Wash is made for thick or thin hair types. It works like a charm on Dry & Curly Hair which totally describes my hair so I am loving it. If you wash your hair daily with regular shampoo then you will dry it out and strip it of its natural oils. Doing that makes hair like mine even crazier than it already is. Washing with regular shampoo daily will make my hair frizzy and wild. On the other hand if I wait too long to wash it or maybe I workout on a day where I don't wash it then it can become greasy and icky. The struggle is real. Mielle Organics Detangling Co-Wash solves this problem completely. It cleanses your hair without stripping it of natural oils and moisture. It also helps retains moisture. ThisCo-Wash can be used on those days that you don't use your regular wash and it can be used daily.

​ Using Mielle Organics Detangling Co-Wash keeps my hair from getting icky and greasy as well as helping to detangle. When you have really curly hair like mine using a detangler is very important. It makes life easier. There's nothing worse than trying to comb through tangled messy hair and with this Detangling C0-Wash you won't have to.

The next step in this awesome Healthy Hair Regimen is Mielle Organics Mint Almond Oil Healthy Hair and Scalp. This works by soothing and re balancing the scalp by promoting circulation. Studies have showed that blood flow to the scalp plays an important role in hair growth. This natural oil promotes circulation with our peppermint oil. The almond oil is a protein in which our hair is made of protein so this oil binds to the hair sealing it and locking in moisture preventing breakage and shedding. This is a lightweight natural oil that will leave your hair with asweet refreshing peppermint scent. It smells delicious!!!! ThisMint Almond oil can be used on dry or wet hair which is awesome because it makes it very easy to use whenever needed.

My favorite product of this line is the Mielle Organics Babassu Oil Mint Deep Conditioner. It is a protein/moisture replenisher for dry and damaged hair it will restore protein and balance for moisture and growth. This deep conditioner will help reduce frizz and fly-aways which is a daily struggle for me. If I wear my hair in it's natural curl form then I struggle with frizz but it I iron my hair flat I struggle with fly-aways. This product solves both of these problems for me and I love it.

​After washing your hair you will apply the Babassu Oil Mint Deep Conditioner to damp, clean hair. For intense treatment you will let this sit in your hair for 15 minutes. So are you ready for the super cool part??? I love this..... if you wish....and I do....you can let this sit in you hair under heat for 30 minutes under the dryer.  If you feel tingling when you apply it then it means it's really working. Not only will your hair love you for this deep conditioning but your scalp will feel amazing too. This native Amazonian palm fruit is high in sterols and tocopherols which are healthy for the hair and scalp. This deep conditioner smells invigorating.......I promise you will love it.
