DIY Spa Day

HAIR :

Let's start from the top! One suggestion from me for natural hair is :

Coconut Honey

If you have extra dry and brittle hair Coconut Honey is your saving grace. Every ingredient is designed to protect your hair from breakage. The amino acids in avocado sooth your scalp while the proteins work to rebuild your hair’s follicles naturally. Plus, these ingredients add shine to hair and prevent breakage.

• 1 oz. coconut oil
• 2 oz. aloe vera gel
• 1 tsp. avocado oil
• ⅓ cup water

Mix coconut and avocado oil in a small cup. Pour aloe vera gel and water in a small spray bottle. Then add your coconut and avocado mix to the spray bottle. Shake well prior to every application. Keep in mind that coconut oil is a solid at room temperature. Thus you may need to warm it slightly.

SKIN  :

Scrubs, soaks and masks all leave you feeling refreshed. Here's one of each :

Banana & Sugar Body Scrub

Put a ripe banana, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract all into a bowl.  If you're planning on using it for your face don't use sugar. Next, use a fork to mush them into chunks. Don't over mix. In the shower, rub it all over your body.

Rose Water & Coconut Milk Soak

First make the rose water. Per cup of firmly packed rose petals add two cups of bowling water. After the liquid is covered and cooled, squeeze out the liquid. Mix the rose water with a equal amount of coconut milk. Two ounces are recommended.

Apple Oatmeal Exfoliating Mask

If you're like me , you love a good Sephora face mask ( especially the rose one ) BUT it's nice to know exactly what's going on your face and feel like a bit of a health guru.

Mix 2 tablespoons of applesauce,  1 tablespoon of honey, and 2 tablespoons of cooked oatmeal with one teaspoon of rose water. Let sit for 15 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.

These are just a few basic Spa Day tips ! Until next time, stay Flyy!
