Coconut Oil Hair Mask

Hey y'all!

I am in love with Coconut Oil. I use it for everything, from makeup remover, to a moisturizer, and even cooking with it. It's amazing!

I have oily/combo skin and I was hesitant to use it as a hair mask thinking it would turn out to be a total mess or I wouldn't be able to wash it all out. Well after seeing how amazingly soft and full it made my eyelashes and brows.

I thought, the hell with it. I'm gonna try it.
3 day hair. Before.

Today I did just that! I took about two and a half heaping teaspoon fulls of organic Coconut Oil and put it in a microwavable safe container. Nuked it for 30 seconds and then poured it all over my head.



I was worried at first I did not have enough for all of my hair but once I kept working it in with my fingers it was just right.

I twisted my hair up into a loose knot and clipped it to my head. Then let it sit for 5 hours.


I watched a little TV, groomed my Standard Poodle, and baked some cupcakes. I would imagine you could leave it in over night if you have really damaged hair. But, it was hair washing day for me and I had a few hours to kill before taking a shower. I used a tea tree shampoo mainly on my scalp and then used conditioner on just the ends.


I towel dried and then just let it air dry.

It turned out so smooth and shiny I kept wanting to touch it. I had no excess oil build up any where and it smelled wonderful.

After!


I will definitely be adding a Coconut Oil Hair Mask to my hair care routine. I'm thinking once a month should suffice.

Let me know if you try it and how you like it.

Ta for now,
Kayla

I'll Get You My Pretty!

I, like most people love Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks movies. Hell, I love almost all movies but some of the animated ones are truly great. Some of my all time favorites are Hercules, Aladdin, Tangled, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo and 101 Dalmatians. Like the majority of most watches these movies I too root for the good guy and enjoy seeing them triumph over Evil and come out of the darkness. But... There is a part of me, a rather large part that loves the Villains. Sometimes they are just so much more fun and different. Some of my favorites are Mother Gothal, Hades, Jafar, Ursula, Crulella D'evil, Maleficent, Scar and Khan. Even some of the live action ones like Tom Hiddelson as Loki, Heath Ledgers as Joker, Uma Therman as Poison Ivy. They are all just kinda likable in their own messed up Evil ways. Plus they always have such awesome wardrobes. Credit Link

November Favorites 2014

It's December ya'll! That means that Yule and Christmas are just right around the corner, before you know it it will be 2015! I did film a faves video. In fact I filmed it twice but both times I forgot a few things and the quality was not very good. So...... A good old fashion blog post it is! Lets begin with the first beauty product: NYC Sky rise Lengthening Mascara. It's kind of amazing and for just a couple of dollars you can't go wrong. It has a thin traditional brush that helps gets extra close to the lash line. I used it every time I applied makeup in November because it helped me reach those tiny curled lashes I have on my left eye. Also because of my astigmatism helped to not stab myself in the eyeball. The second beauty fave is: Not Your Mothers: Way to Grow Long and Strong I was needing a new shampoo and preferred one that was sulfate free and I found this at my local Wal-Mart. I have used their hair spray before and thought why not gave...

Well this bright idea of mine took forever to create. Sorry about that! I hope the next installment will be a little better to execute. I just have to remember to take pictures! Easy Taco Bake This recipe was adapted from the one found here . The ingredients are as follows -  1 can of refrigerated crescent rolls 1 pound of ground meat 3/4 cup of salsa 2 tablespoons of Fajita seasoning shredded cheese oven set to 350F You first open you can of crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. place them in a pie pan or even a square pan with the points in the center. Press edges together and up the sides of the pan. (un-greased) Next you cook the meat (I used ground beef) in a large skillet until done. Drain off any extra liquid.
