Chocolate and Snails Memories
Not going to lie - I love chocolate. I'm also pretty sure almost everyone else out there does as well! Always looking for an excuse to nibble some of my favourite delight, I was quite pleased to come across this article explaining how chocolate improves the memories of snails. (They don't know if it applies to humans yet, but I'm sure they'll find out soon enough!) Huzzah! Another marvellous reason that chocolate is good for me! Now unfortunately, as much as I love chocolate, and all the amazing health benefits it provides like it's flavonoids that act as antioxidants, and it's ability to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, I don't like that fact that it's also full of sugar and other not so amazing ingredients that practically cancel out all the health benefits.
This is where the awesomeness of Miessence's BerryRadical comes in! It has certified organic raw cacao as one of it's 9 potent superfood ingredients - all with no processing, no cooking, and no sugar!
I get my daily chocolate craving satisfied, my body is flooded with antioxidants and I don't have to worry about the unwanted added ingredients - pretty sure it doesn't get much better than that!Now if you'll excuse me, I feel a chocolate craving coming on...
Hair Detox
You
may experience a hair detox for the first few weeks with Miessence
hair products if you have been using hair care with silicone
derivatives. Commercial hair care products often leave your hair
coated with plastic from the silicone derivatives (dimethicone,
cylcomethicone, any chemical with ‘cone’ in it) they contain.
Miessence
shampoos will not foam and the hair care will not work effectively
until you have removed this coating by detoxing your hair. This can
be done a number of ways:
•
Over
time - using our products until it happens (slowly - the clarifying hair rinse will assist)
•
Detoxing
your hair with a few baths of 1 cup sea salt, 1 cup apple cider
vinegar 2 cups bicarb soda (hop in the bath and swish your hair
around in it)
•
Making
a paste of bicarb soda and our shampoo and washing your hair with it
a few times
•
Making
a paste of clay (one of our masks - or just clay from the health food
store) with our shampoo and washing your hair with that a few times.
While
your hair is detoxing, it may feel dry and knotty. This is normal, as
the hair is eliminating the silicone from your hair. Once they have
been dissolved, you will find our shampoo foams and your hair is
silky and soft.
