Go Bananas!

It’s already HOT in sunny Florida where I live. But other places are feeling summer not spring where they live. I see a lot of beach babes here already basking in the 🌞 sun and frying their hair & skin!

So, I thought I’d share a natural treatment mask you can do that is for the hair!

What you will need to do this mask:

My clients love this mask too. I like to share with them too!

1 ripe banana 🍌

1 tablespoon of olive 🫒 oil

1 teaspoon of local honey 🍯

I learned this recipe when I traveled to Italy. I love interviewing locals on their beauty secrets wherever I go.

Simply mash and mix all of the above in a small bowl. Stir well. It will be gooey a bit but so worth it!

I apply the mask with my hands and leave it on at least 15 minutes. Rinse well and shampoo with a little bit of shampoo. You don’t need to use cream rinse afterwards.

*FYI … If you want to tweak this recipe by adding more olive oil,a dash more of honey or half of another banana you can. If you want to do this on your husbands hair he will benefit from it too!

Olive oil does so much for the face & body!
I love whipping up natural recipes in my beauty kitchen!

Juicy!

It seems as though JUICY 🥤 is the “word of the day” at this time for our skin! Social media, magazines, celebrities and shopping channels tout it as something we need to attain. But I’m a bit confused.

I don’t know about you but I’m not sure why we want it. Nor how we get “juicy skin”

I love healthy looking pretty skin and enjoy the rituals for taking care of my skin. But coveting “juicy” is not one I necessarily want.

However I do love juicing and the fun pretty potions I can create and whip up in what I husband calls… “My Beauty Kitchen”

I make them with all kinds of fruits, veggies, and even herbs. So delicious! Whether I want something fruity, very veggie or for a burst of energy you can make some awesome drinks. Including something sweet!

This afternoon I made a yummy and bodacious …

I love the beauty & potassium from bananas!

“Banana 🍌 Split” … not what you may think. No ice cream and no cherry on top.

What you will need for this recipe:

2 fresh ripe bananas

1 1/2 cups of coconut milk

1 teaspoon of maple syrup or agave nectar

4-5 ice cubes, crushed

Place the above in a blender. Mix it until smooth, creamy and dreamy!

*Sprinkle coconut 🥥 flakes on top!

I’m crazy for coconut! 🥥

Add a mini drink umbrella & festive paper straw if you’d like.

Enjoy this cooling and refreshing milkshake like smoothie! Great for your sweetie or the whole family.

Kiss 💋 this heatwave “Goodbye and Sip Away!”
