Honey Hair Treatment

Hi, everyone! How has your day been? Wonderful as always? Good.
Today, I'm testing out a honey hair treatment from my DIY Beauty Board. The original pin leads to this website, which has some other beauty treatments on it. This one is a big commitment because the blog says that you should wash your hair with this honey/water mixture for a month before it completely balances your hair out. You also have to use raw honey, not processed. There are tons of benefits that the author claims this honey shampoo does for your hair: treats dandruff, reduces frizz, moisturizes, and softens. All good things, so I figured, why not. I started doing this the third week in April so I could really have good info for you guys.

Here's how to make your own honey shampoo and how it works:
The author says to make the shampoo on an as needed basis. Kind of a pain, but whatever. All you need to make the shampoo are:
1. 1 TBS of Raw Honey
2. 3 TBS of Filtered Water
I bought both ingredients for $4.69, so about the same as my regular shampoo. You can also add a few drops of essential oil, but mamma is strugglin' for cash, so we are going to skip that.

To use the shampoo, apply it on wet hair in the shower, messaging it into the scalp only. You don't need to use this on the rest of your hair. I'm not going to lie, this really grosses me out. My hair is super long and probably dirty, but I had to follow the rules. The author also says no conditioner, which is another huge step for me, considering the mane I have to tame on a daily basis.

I did this regiment for a month and I can honestly say that it did not work for me at all. I felt like my hair constantly looked greasy. The original blog did say that it took a few weeks for your hair to get to a normal state, but I tried this for a month. That is way too long for my hair to look gross every single day. Luckily, I could blame my gross appearance on finals time, but I'm glad I'm done with it.

The original blog also stated that it may not work for everyone. So, y'all may want to try it out and see if it works for you.

... I got trained on desk today. Literally the easiest job I have ever had.
... I also work at Panera tonight. Boo.
... I just got back from Florida and got burnt to a crisp. Lovely.

Until next time.

Blog Changes

Hey everyone,

I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday! Sorry that I stopped posting for so long. Now that school is finally over, I will be able to post more often.

I also changed the name of the blog for a couple reasons:
1. I thought the first name was kind of corny
2. I am rediscovering my passion for baking. I have found a ton of recipes on Pinterest, so I will still try to incorporate the website as often as possible.

So now this blog is going to include everything beauty and baking. I hope y'all stick around for the changes and new things to come.

... I'm flying down to Florida today to hang out with my cousins. I can't wait to see a beach!
... I got a 4.0 this semester! Hard work pays off :)
... I got a kitten. His name is Ernest and he is the most precious, energetic, ridiculous cat I have ever owned (and also the only cat I've ever owned). Wanna see a picture??

Xoxo,
