A Smoothy a Day...

The saying goes an apple a day keeps the doctor away.  I think it needs to be updated, did they have blenders back when someone coined this phrase? Probably not. It is the best way for me to get a concentrated dose of my daily nutritional requirements. Banana? Check! Blueberries? Check! Strawberries? Check! Spinach? Check! Mango juice? Check! 

Making smoothies is so much better than juicing.  I just don't have the heart to throw away all that "trash" which is actually good food and fiber.  There is no specific recipe, my smoothies are usually composed of whatever fruit and/or vegetable I have on hand.  It has become part of our daily diet and when I don't get one I can feel the difference.

Yay for drinking your fruits and vegetables!!!

Denman vs. Tangle Teezer

I remember the first time I got my Denman brush.  It literally moved through my hair like butter.  No fighting, no fussing, no more tangles. :) If a wide tooth comb and a paddle brush hooked up and had a baby it would be a Denman  During my transition from relaxed to natural hair I shared my Denman with A and it worked as well on her hair as it did on mine.  Then about a year ago I happened upon the Tangle Teezer It was all a buzz online and constantly sold out at Sally's. It was months before I could get my hand on one. When I finally did it replaced my Denman for A.

It worked great but a year later I'm starting to have some reservations. I used it to detangle my hair one time and the brush pulled away from the handle - not good - and I haven't been able to put back together the same way since.  It is good for thinner curls but if you're dealing with a thick head of 3b/4a ish type curls (thick and tight) your better bet is the Denman hands down.

I have since bought another Denman for A, I'm tired of sharing!
