Part 2 - Stripping box color: does vitamin C and dandruff shampoo work?

Hi ya Gorgeous,

So, it's been a looooong time coming for me to do part 2 of this video. I just repeated the steps to lighten the "too dark" dark brown hair of mine that if you ask me, looks black.

 I want a lighter brown, somewhere in the 4 range, maybe 4.5 for summer so I am starting the lightening process now to make the weird orangey stage happen sometime after Passover and then come May birthday month - I've got the rich honey brown I"m looking for! Please let me know in the comments if you have any other tips!

My Monday Celery Juice recipe

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Oh happy day! I love Mondays. I get so much accomplished on a Monday!
Including a new recipe for my celery juice regimen. I've been doing celery juice almost everyday for about 2 weeks now. I have noticed some health benefits and the goal is to help lower my blood pressure using food versus a medication.

I make plain celery juice and sometimes I add apple, lemon, garlic or ginger.  I use my fancy unicorn cup to sip it and I guess the total amount to be about 2 cups, maybe a little more some days and maybe a little less on others. I use my Vitamix to create a thin juice - meaning it runs a little bit longer to really moosh everything together.

I really wonder what the sudden craze to drink celery juice is doing to the production market of celery? How has a sudden demand for celery going to meet out over time?

Will celery become the new gold? It's health benefits surely are worth their weight in gold!

Celery is rich in vitamin A, magnesium, and iron, which all help to nourish the blood. Celery juice is also rich in organic sodium content, meaning it has the ability to dislodge calcium deposits from the joints and hold them in solution until they can be eliminated safely from the kidneys and by boosting digestion, lemon water also reduced the load of the liver. Celery Juice – Celery is rich in vitamins and iron, making is a great tonic for the liver. The nutrients protect the liver and researchers have found that when treated with celery extract, liver cells produced liver enzymes that flush toxins.

New Year New You | Time to Cleanse and Work On Your Health

Hi ya Gorgeous!
And...one day...left in 2018.

Holy smokes.  This year though.
I'm glad it's done.
It was in no way shape or form as harsh as 2017 though I'm still glad to be entering into the new season of 2019.

It's a side ways celebration for me because I ring in the new year on the Hebraic calendar, so technically for me, 5779 is 5 months in and now the Gregorian calendar is about to start.

No matter. I'm ready to celebrate no matter what! Speaking of celebrations - I've already begun my "new year new you" with some daily juicing to help rehydrate at a cellular level, add more fiber and boost my immune system as I prepare for a very busy season ahead to which I say, bring it on!




I use apple, celery and garlic for my 3 times a day juice - what's your favorite recipe for juice? Comment below! Now - cheers to you getting a jump start on a heart on a healthy new year! I love my Vitamix for making clean juices, you can get one here: https://amzn.to/2BLsYg2
