Yummy sweet ripe mango goodness!

Mango Smoothie:
1 ripe mango

about a cup of soymilk(or whatever milk)

This is a perfact dessert because mango is full of vitamins and milk is full of calcium and the sugar makes it extra sweet!!!

Keeping hair clean.

Alot of us with curly hair dread washing it because it can be time consuming, painfull, and very drying to our hair. But it doesn't have to be that way:

You can get your hair clean and avoid unecessary tangles and breakage, by using a conditioner instead of shampoo. The best brands are the cheap one like these:

and this one:

Or any silicone free conditioner.

It's simple and easy, just use it how you would use shampoo. Massage it into your scalp and rinse. You might want to put the conditioner into your hand and add a little water to thin it out that way it will me easier to apply. By using conditioner you still remove the dirt from your hair without drying outyour hair or tangling, which will result in healthier,easier to manage,and softer hair.

How to fishtail braid.

Fishtail braids are a fun, cute, and easy alternative to regular french or dutch braids. They may look hard to do but they're not, as soon as you learn you can do them all the time with ease.

                                                            (my friend kayonia's hair.)
Step one: Gather hair back  take a small section form the crown of head, seperate into two equal sections. Cross the left over the right.

Step two: Take a section of hair from the left side and cross it over to the right. Now take hair form the right and cross it over to the left. Continue untill there is no more new hair to grab.

Step three: When there is no more new hair to take form the scalp, continue crossing hair over from each side untill you reach the bottom of braid. Now you have a beautiful fishtail braid!

Tip: If you have relaxed, straight, or a looser textured hair type you might have to put a rubber band or hair clip on the end to keep it from unraveling.(^_^).

Hollywood Beauty Tea Tree Oil.

If your like me and have a dry scalp, your always looking for a good oil to use.
My mom got this for me a few weeks ago and i've been using it about once or twice weekly. I'ts says it helps relieve dry skin and scalp. I found it to be a nice alternative to using regular tea tree oil on your scalp, it still has that tea tree smell but not as strong as regular tea tree oil does. It also has a nice minty tingle feel.(^_^). The bottle says it contains seven natural oils and aloe, it can also be used for dry skin anywhere not just the scalp.

This is what wikipedia says about tea tree oil:

     "Tea tree oil, or melaleuca oil, is a pale yellow colour to nearly clear essential oil with a fresh camphoraceous odor.^[1] It is taken from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia, which is native to the northeast coast of New South Wales, Australia. Tea tree oil should not be confused with tea oil, the sweet seasoning and cooking oil from pressed seeds of the tea plant Camellia sinensis (beverage tea), or the tea oil plant Camellia oleifera.
Tea tree oil has beneficial medical properties when applied topically, including antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral action,^[2] and is also believed to have beneficial cosmetic properties.^[3] Tea tree oil is usually used diluted, as reactions are common with pure tea tree oil, but it can also cause irritation for some people even when diluted. Tea tree oil is toxic when taken internally, and so should never be added to food or drinks."
