What in the hell is pre-poo

So on this fun hair journey, I have had to learn a lot of things, and of course do tons of research. I recently ordered some great products from Yonnea's Natural Beauty. I ordered her Honey and Hibiscus Leave in Conditioner and her GPS oil. First let me tell you one thing by far this has been the best stuff I have used ever! Her website is

So I have been using this stuff every day since I received it and my hair honest to goodness is soft, managable and conditioned. Of course the next step is styling and washing properly. I have actually decided to pre-poo. Pre Poo is the process of a pre wash. So today I made a mixture of honey and extra virgin olive oil. These can be warmed (if you warm it remember not to warm) I let the mixture sit for a half an hour and then then washed with my regular conditioner which is Suave Tea Tree Nourishing Conditioner plus I use Pantene's Relax and Natural Deep conditioner.

Last week I attempted a 2 strand twist out. Once again I am attempting another 2 strand twist.

Excitment

Oddly enough I have been overcome with this feeling of excitement. Why? I have no idea what so ever, I am not even sure what I am excited about to be perfectly honest. Ever since I started eating better, including vegetables and drinking a ton of water, I just have a lot of energy and a ton of additional motivation, which I truly need! This week, I amped up my water intake tremendously. I am drinking 3-4 bottles of water not just a regular water bottle (because that's not eco-friendly) but a 20Oz-600ml eco friendly re-usable water bottle. Which equals to be about 8 glasses of water a day if I continue to drink 3-4 bottles.

I also found this great article on Yahoo about the 5 foods you should eat everyday. Those 5 foods included:

Yogurt for the Good Bacteria it produces, it should be Low Fat Yogurt

Nuts: Almonds, Pecans and etc... were considered good for your heart

Strawberries,blackberries, blue berries good for your digestive track

All things green!

Bran=Fiber

These were the most important things to me, because of these were all things I was not consuming on a daily basis.After reading this exciting article it amped me up even more to get green leafy things, vegetables, and fruit.

This past week I have had either Raisin Bran or Oatmeal, plus Yogurt, and water. Plus spinach as been my leafy green for the week on Tuna to be exact and it has been delish. A tuna sandwich with spinach and cheese on wheat bread with light mayo has been a dream lunch every day with juice or better yet water!

All ready after changing my eating habits for 2 weeks, I feel like my jeans are feeling a tad bit looser!
