Alterna Hair Caviar Shampoo & Conditioner

Yes, this stuff is uber luxe, and not only in price. It’s kind of perfumy, rinses through your hair like silk, and blow drys super nice.

The only downside is that by the time I got down to the end of the bottle, my hair was tired of the stuff, fatigued and a bit limp. I wonder if they make a clarifying shampoo? Due to the quick fatigue, I probably won’t buy it again unfortunately, because it was just a bit too pricey for the quick poop-out.

If you’d like to try Alterna out, or if you have a really good clarifying shampoo on deck (Fekkai Apple Cider clarifying is great IMO) you might want to give it a try – for the first 3 weeks at least, your hair really will feel fabulous. I found it cheapest at FragranceNet.com

At Home Spa Cuisine

I always get a bunch of moans and groans regarding the high prices of eating healthy. What’s funny is that no one ever complains of the price of eating unhealthy. Go figure.

Anyway, with today’s prices being much more higher at the grocery store, shopping at more organic and non-superstore shops is not only good for your body and mind, but not so heavy in your wallet either. The produce at Whole Foods or Trader Joes just plain taste better too! I picked up a whole pineapple and a box of blackberries for under $7, chopped them up and added them to salads, yogurt toppings and my cereals and so far that mix has lasted 3 days. Now That’s a Deal, baby!

Today’s morning snack granted me not only lots of yummies, but the pineapple nourished my body with vitamin B1, vitamin C and natural enzymes that will help break down proteins in the the body. Blackberries delivered natural fiber, vitamins C and K,  folic acid (a B vitamin) and lots of essential antioxidants. The natural seeds that are within the Blackberry fruit contain Omega 3 good and natural fats, small amounts of protein, and natural sources of fiber.

Here’s something you might not have known: Pineapples are indigenous to southern Brazil and Paraguay and spread up through the north americas by native peoples. In 1493 Columbus found the fruit on the island of Guadaloupe and carried it back to Spain and it was spread around the world on sailing ships that carried it for protection against scurvy. The Spanish introduced it into the Philippines and may have taken it to Hawaii and Guam early in the 16th Century.
