While the cholesterol differences are slight the fat is really a big difference.

Loving My Natural Hair


Adorning my head with my natural curls have given me peace and an appreciation of myself. What God have given me is beautiful. I always thought that I had to relax my hair to get it straight because that was the "in" thing when I was in High School to keep up with my peers. Chemical straighteners, straightening combs, and curling irons were some of things that I used on my hair. On top of that I have soft fine hair so I was damaging and weakening the structure of my hair even more. That's when about 3 years ago I said enough is enough and decided to let my relaxer grow out and go natural.
It was hard at first because I had a lot of bad hair days. The transitioning process from relaxed hair to natural made me to want to throw in the towel. But I tried to keep positive knowing in time it will pay off and I was doing something good for myself. As time went by I could see promising results. Those naturals curls started to arrive as well as less bad hair days.
As soon as all the relaxer was out of my hair I began looking into Hair Products for Natural Black Hair. I searched the Internet and found several products for my natural hair. Black Hair Care for Natural Hair is becoming a popular search among the black community as more and more of us are making the switch from relaxed to natural. I shampoo and condition my hair with natural products and apply a natural leave in conditioner about twice a week. I also apply a light oil to my hair ends every day such as organic extra virgin coconut oil because Black hair tends to be dry. No matter what's the texture it breaks easily and need to be cared for gently. Use a wide tooth comb to groom Black hair. I use a volumizer comb to add volume by gently lifting my hair. Since I want my curls to remain I never comb or brush my hair when styling. I do comb my hair with either the wide tooth comb or the volumizer comb before I shampoo and condition my hair.
A healthy diet that consists of Organic fruits,vegetables and drinking plenty of water will help keep your hair hydrated. Massage your scalp daily to increase blood circulation to your scalp. Supplements such as biotin and MSM are also good for maintaing good hair health.
I know now that I made a wise choice when I decided to go natural. Not only is my hair easier to care for but I am doing something healthier for me. I learned to embrace myself and love me for who I am naturally. If you are deciding to go natural good for you! I commend you for embracing and loving yourself naturally!

Pumpkins

Well Fall is finally here. I can't help but to think of pumpkins at this time of season. Pumpkins have been around forever. Before the pilgrims came Native American Indians used pumpkins not just for food but for material goods as well. The pilgrims soon learned from the Natives of how valuable pumpkins were. There are several kinds of pumpkins depending on the types. They can grow between 2-100 pounds. Here are a few that I found.

For Cooking: Buckskin, Chelsey, Dickinson Field, Kentucky Field

Standard Orange: grows between 2-5 pounds; Baby Bear, Baby Pam, Small Sugar

Standard Orange: grows between 8-15 pounds; Autumn gold,Frosty Face, Spirit

Standard Orange: grows between 15-25 pounds; Aspen, Big Autumn, Big Tom, Connecticut Field

When selecting a pumpkin for carving look for one that is healthy with a long stem. If it sounds mushy inside and rolls select another one. For cooking select one with the stem attached and no soft spots. It will keep up to one month at room temperature and three months refrigerated.
When you are ready to cook it cut the whole pumpkin in several large pieces removing the seeds and pith. Place the pieces skin side up in a large deep baking pan or roasting pan and fill with one inch of water. Cook 30 minutes until soft and remove to cool. Peel off the skin and cut in chunks and mash. Now you have fresh homemade pumpkin that you can use in your recipe.

Pumpkins are classified as gourd-like squash that are full of antioxidants and beta-carotene which is converted to Vitamin A in our bodies. One cup of cooked pumpkin has only 49 calories.
These wonderful orange gems can be made into pies, breads,soups, muffins and more.

Just about every town have a pumpkin patch that you can visit and purchase a pumpkin. There may be Organic pumpkin patches available in your area. If you want to explore more from your home check out this website at http://www.localharvest.org/ to see where they are located.

Yes! Fall is finally here and with it came golden sparkles of patches that have made me hungry right now for a pumpkin pie. Remember to check out the website for any local Organic pumpkin patches. Our local farmers will be so happy that you did. Getting to know who they are and supporting their efforts will encourage them to provide us a more healthy and nutritious living.
Have a safe and happy Fall!

Wishing You Well,

Raw Milk

Last week I visited a dairy farm in Decatur, Texas where I made my first purchase of raw milk. This raw milk that I bought came from Jersey cows that are grass fed, antibiotic and hormone free.Since I live in Texas raw milk is not sold in retail stores but on dairy farms that have passed testing and inspection standards before it's sold as certified raw milk. I was totally amazed of how rich and creamy it tasted. Nothing like the conventional milk sold in stores. Jersey, Devon, and Guernsey cows have a high level of butterfat which makes raw milk tastes even creamier. So if you are like me look for raw milk that comes from these babies.


I believe raw milk can heal you from illnesses and strengthen your health. My husband grew up on Jersey grass fed cows and could not stand the taste of raw milk. When he was young he became sick with strep throat and later on developed rheumatic fever. He became bed-ridden, weak, could not walk, and the sight of food made him sick. He had a schoolmate who came down with the same illness and she died. My husband's mother knew that if he did not eat he would die too. So she fed him only raw milk a few sips at a time. He said it was very hard to swallow at times but it was his only hope. After 6 weeks he gained strength and showed signs of improvements. Raw milk is full of living enzymes, vitamins, protein, calcium, minerals and fat globules. It is like the perfect food. Healthy cows are grass fed, farmed on land through Organic methods, and in a safe toxic free environment. Milk that have been processed loses all healthful benefits. Pasteurization destroy the nutrients and proteins and enzymes are denatured. Through homogenization milk fat globules are destroyed by forcing milk through tubes under pressure. This reduce their size and the membranes are lost causing the fat to absorb proteins and creating oxidation.

If raw milk sounds good to you give it a try. For more information you can visit www.realmilk.com and www.raw-milk-facts.com . Dairy farmers need our support to encourage them to feel good about what they believe in to deliver good and wholesome food to us. Take care of yourself and have a healthy day!

Local Organic Farming

It is always a good feeling when we support a worthy good cause. When that cause is supported by a larger community the greater in chance it will flourish. That's why it's very important to support our local Organic farmers. When we purchase meats or produce at an Organic farm stand we are supporting that local farmer. This farmer took careful measures to ensure us that we are getting the best what nature intended us to have.

Meats from animals are grass fed, Organic feed, no antibiotics, no hormones, and no modified genes. Fruits and vegetables are grown using the same care without the use of dangerous synthetic pesticides. Animals are free-range and are more healthier than locked up caged animals. These animals are getting a humane and healthy attention from farmers who cares.

Organic farmers are healthy farmers. They are not exposed to the chemicals from dangerous pesticides and fertilizers. They use manure to fertilize the soil that comes from Organic fed cows which is Eco Friendly for the environment. Ground water and soil is preserved and not destroyed from this treatment. Farmers also rotate their crops. This method helps prevent diseases, reduce pests, control weeds, and prevents soil depletion.

Whenever you buy from a local farm stand you are supporting a worthy cause. Our local farmers need the encouragement from people who believe in them to provide us with food that is healthy and organically raised. I choose to support local Organic farming. What about you?
