NEW Creme Of Nature Moisturising Milk Masque (Repairing Treatment)

Cream of Nature Moisturising Milk Masque Price $7.99

So Creme of Nature Agran Oil from Morocco hair line has  NEW natural hair products. They have added 4 new products and I've bought and tried 2 out of 4 of them. The Moisturizing Milk Masque and the Twirling Custard. I've been eyeing this product for almost a month before I finally tried it. For some reason my product junkieism is starting to fade out lately. $7.99 for a deep conditioner was all of a sudden too pricey for me, which is unheard of in my product life. So I finally tried it this past Saturday. I really like it this treatment. I've been a fan of the argan oil line from Creme of Nature for a couple of years now and I must say I'm really liking the new products so far. When using this product I followed my normal shampoo cleansing routine and skipped the regular conditioner step. I applied this treatment on wet clean hair in chunky sections. I simply finger detangled the product in my hair, then chunky twist my hair. I must say the texture was really nice, very thick and creamy. I didn't have to saturate my hair like I normally have to with most conditioners. This is a nice size jar and I love that I can maybe get at least 2-3 uses out of it before having to restock. I have thick type 4 hair so I normally have to let DC's stay in my hair at least an 30 with heat or an hour+ without heat with a plastic cap.  I opted out the heat and just put on a \plastic cap and head scarf and called it a night. I left this treatment in Saturday night and rinsed it out Monday morning. My hair was really soft and felt very smooth and condition. My hair felt like butter which is a plus in my book. Dealing with work, home life, and school had me playing catch up and I just let this product go to work. It states to leave it in 5-10 minute but my hair rebels against rules like those. Over all I like the new treatment its rich and thick smells really nice. The price doesn't botherme now lol. It's a good product it's worth a try. They did a good job on this product formulation. I'm looking forward to trying the Butter Creme and Curl Perfecting Pudding later on down the line. 

Today's Modern Food: It's not what you think - Part 1

Ori Essentials Cleansing Conditioner (Co-Wash)

I was first introduced to this lovely product in the May Curlkit box. This is my first natural co-washing product that I've ever used. I must say I am enjoying this product. I'm not a stranger to Ori Essentials line since I've recently tried the leave in conditioner in which was also from the April Curlkit box. (Got to love Curlkit for that) I enjoyed the leave in conditioner so when I saw this product one month later I couldn't wait to use it. I followed the standard hair washing method wet hair, apply product in sections, finger comb product through hair. I thought it was interesting that this product as it states doesn't sud like a shampoo but cleans like a soft cleanser. I was able to just finger detangle and didn't have to use it more than once in one wash application. One of the few perks of this product outside the fact that it's a natural product (CG friendly) would be the good slip and smell. I really like the smell of fresh bannana - tropical coconut type of aroma. This product left my hair so soft and clean. I have been thinking about repurchasing this product since I live in the south and the summers here are extremely hot and I find my self co-washing more often than in the cooler month. I've been building my summer hair care staples and this has made it to my favorites list for simple go to product. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who co-washes more than shampoo or anyone looking for a nice natural product that simple and just all around just yummy  and easy to use. It's definetly worth trying out.  

Spicy Tofu Scramble

My on going love affair with Tofu has yet blessed me with another favorite dish. This has got to be one of my favorite Sunday morning dishes to date. (sorry pancakes) It a vegetarian take on the imfamous "Scramble eggs" even though it tastes like a stove top quiche to me. All you need are a few select around the house ingredients. This is what I call a "Kitchen sink" recipe, because no matter what you have around the old fridge it will always taste great. For this dish I used 4 eggs, extra firm tofu (DRAINED AND CRUMBLED), an array of diffrent spices,canola cooking oil spray, olive oil, two types of onions (white and green), a good ole' green bell pepper,Rotel brand tomatoes and chiles, and mild cheddar cheese. It's quite simple just preheat(medium to low heat) skillet and spray canola oil cooking spray and drizzle olive oil to coat the pan. Saute onions and bell pepper in skillet for only a couple of mins (DON'T FORGET TO STIR). Next add in the Rotel tomatoes and chiles and tofu. Make sure you stir to keep everything from burning or sticking to the pan. Then while everything is sauting crack the 4 eggs and beat with a fork. Add the spices of your choosing, I chose a dash of salt, pepper, garlic&pepper, Tony's brand creole seasoning (love that stuff), crush red pepper flakes. Add just a dash of each then later while cooking you can go back and add more as desired. Once eggs and spices are mixed in add them to the veggies in the skillet. At this time add a sprinkle of cheese to the dish. Stir the ingredients as the scramble begins to bond together. This process only take a couple of mins so keep stiring. When the dish is almost in scramble egg form sprinkle more cheese and spices as desired until everything has been completly cooked. Turn off the heat and plate the scramble. I normally eat this dish with a small bowl of oat meal or fruit in this case, along side a glass of almond/soy milk, green tea, lemon&honey or a cool glass of my favorite fruit juice. This dish will keep you full through out lunch time. Hope you enjoy!!!

CHEF SIDE NOTES: YOU CAN ALSO ADD AND MIX IN DIFFRENT TYPES OF PEPPERS, SPICES, AND VEGGIES TO MAKE A NEW SCRAMBLE TO CALL ALL YOUR OWN. TRY USING SEASONAL VEGGIES GROWN IN YOUR LOCAL FARMER MARKETS. THERE IS ALSO A VEGAN ALTERNATIVE TO THIS RECIPE:INSTEAD OF EGGS YOU COULD USE MORE TOFU OR SEITAIN, AND USE A SOY BASED VEGAN CHEESE LIKE DAIYA
