Took me long enough right ?  Yes, I completely agree. Be prepared, this post is going to be all over the place.

So, if you aren't completely caught up with what's been going on here on the blog read this post first. 

All finished ? Okay, let's move on.

Along with getting back in the swing of things, blogging on a more frequent basis, and driving myself halfway crazy over a new website I have been experimenting and creating in my little lab.

Yes, you read that correctly !

Taking action and taking notes.

Let's Make a Conditioner !

Hello Hello !

You've read the title, now grab your Frolicious Mixtress toolbox and let's get to it !

Let's take a closer look at the ingredients ! 

Mayonnaise
A rich, nourishing ingredient that serves as a great protein treatment for your hair. It also improves your hairs moisture and shine ! It's an awesome 3-1 bonus because mayonnaise includes Olive Oil, Eggs, and Vinegar. Intrigued ? Read more about the benefits of Mayonnaise and hair.

Honey
Honey is amazing. Point, blank, period. It's  incredibly moisturizing! Honey also aids in keeping your strands out of the thirst free zone by sealing moisture into your hair, helping it stay nourished. It's also very smoothing and can help with the frizzies. Honey also helps witth hair loss, this is news to me though ! It's also great for scalp care because it's anti-bacterial. Want some more deets on honey ? Read here

I always end up having a taste for guacamole whenever I use avocado for my hair. Is it just me ?  Avocado nourishes the scalp and the hair shaft. Using an avocado mask, hydrates the scalp and keeps the moisture in. It also strengthens the hair and body to the hair. More info because I know you were just dying for it !

Are you Gelin' ?

Hey y'all !

So, over the weekend I went through the majority of my blog posts searching for posts which I can expand upon, posts where I have promised updates and etc. I came across a few ! Shame. Although I won't feel too bad, because it was early in my blogging stages and I was still a noob to all the wonderful things that help make/keep a bloggers life sane.

Alright, first off... are you gelin' ?

Frolicious Mixtress : Must Haves !

Well,

I'm sure you all have heard the news by now.... BUUUUUT, if you haven't feel free to check out this post, it will inform you of everything!

Did you read it ?
Ok, great, let's move on.

Introducing Frolicious Mixtress (Mix On !)

I’m always coming up with new things for my company and for this blog. One of those new ideas I mentioned in this post along with a goodie for you. You can check that post out here. 

Anywhoo,

I’d like to introduce Frolicious Mixtress…formally that is. This is yet another brain child of mine. (If you haven’t noticed, I have a lot going on in my afro-puffed brain).

I've Got Staples Y'all

 There are a few things that I hold near and dear to my heart, (besides the beau of course) 

Things that I count on day in and day out. 

Things that I always expect to perform at their peak of super amazingness. 

Things that I have just come to not be able to live with out. 

Realizing that I am running low, or somehow empty and it snuck up on me sends me in a frenzy !

Operation Sunflower Olive Oil

Operation Sunflower Olive Oil

There are days when I just want to give my curls a little extra loving, maybe they are looking a little tired and dry.. or perhaps lusciously moisturized and I want to keep that streak going for a few more days by giving it a little extra “umph”…

-Enter Operation Sunflower Olive Oil-  (Read after the jump for the Frolicious Mixtress Recipe Card!)

SimplyCare Shares !!!

Well, our first YouTube video was uploaded today ! Hurray !

Banana Bread and Mud !

Yes, you read correctly, Banana Bread and Mud. Sounds delightful doesn't it ? 

I don't know you all are aware, but I love being a mixtress. Even more than this, I love when I stumble upon new hair recipes ! 

I found this little gem via Naturally Curly except NOW I CAN"T FIND THE LINK to the article ! ugh ! 

Anyhow, I absolutely loved this Hair Mask. 

TESTING

Testing out some new things on the website... pardon the dust !

Happy New Year !

Happy New Year everyone !!!

I hope you all had marvelous holidays !! 

I was browsing through blogs and I decided to share my Hair Resolutions.... why ? *shrugs* I don't really know.

I just know that I need to treat my hair even better than I do now. I also saw on Twitter the other day that if a goal or what have you isn't written down, then it's just a wish.

#MESSAGE ! 

So without further ado,

Things to Come !

Hello all!!

First of all, my apologies for the lack of posts ! I have been slacking and busy at the same time. I also celebrated my birthday! 

Yay !

I’ve been working on some new things and I just thought I would show a sneak peek ! My mind is in a whirlwind and sometimes it’s just hard to choose between what idea I should focus on…

Lately, I haven’t been feeling creative so I’ve kind of stopped working on illustration and design and such. I pretty much just have been focusing on the hair side, although that’s hard to tell with the lack of posts.
