Sunday Goodies

I know that Sunday is a rest day for the majority of us after eight o' clock and eleven o'clock services at our places of worship but for some of us its the day that you get a really good meal. My Dad always makes a desert on Sunday to top off his fabulous meals. Sunday represents the day that I break out one of my masks. Recently I have gotten into the hobby of making body butters, mask, hair tonics and such. So I share with you some recipes to make your own. About a week ago I came back from Vegas and I noticed that my scalp felt tight so after I washed my hair I mixed this up and my scalp has been moisturized all week no other moisturizer needed. Here is the recipe and a few others happy mixing.

Honey and Apricot and Avocado Hair Treatment

2 table spoons of honey
1 tablespoon of apricot oil
1 table soon of avocado oil

Mix well and apply to your scalp then wrap your head in saran wrap or a conditioning cap and sit under a hair dryer for 20-25 minutes rinsing your hair is optional. If you rinse, rinse your hair with cool water and style as usual.

Avocado and Egg Conditioner

1 avocado
1 egg
1/2 of an oil of your choice I like to use avocado,almond with a little vitamin e and omega 369

this next ingredient is optional but it works: 8 oz of very strong tea for example go to your local coop and buy a loose leaf tea such as rosemary nettle proven to grow hair. Seep tea for about 30 minutes and add to the ingredients above. Mix well use a blender to make the mixture smooth and apply to your hair. Sit for 15-20 and rinse. After this conditioner you should mix a clarifyer such as apple cider vinegar and spray on to your hair and or a lemon rinse. Mix apple cider vinegar/lemon and water in equal parts.

Lastly my absolute favorite Avocado Mask for oily to normal skin

1 egg white
1 teaspoon of lemon
1 avocado

Place all ingredients into a blender and in a matter if seconds you will see a lovely green mixture don't mix too much. Place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes so that it will cold. Apply to your face and relax with it on for about 20 minutes rinse off and apply a astringent and or skin tonic of your choice and follow with a moisturizer of your choice.

Leah,
Do you have any recommendations or home recipes for dry shampoo??? I've heard combining one part baby powder to one part banking soda will do the trick.
