Natural Hair: Tip by Tiffanie Perea
How Do You Protect Your Natural Hair While Swimming?
Water is our natural crowns friend, but when we are swimming in chlorinated and salt water, our natural hair will absorb the chlorine and salt which will cause dry and brittle hair. As I've been vacationing this summer and enjoying the beach and pool, I have found a full proof way to protect my natural hair and enjoy swimming without the fear of me damaging my hair.
◦ Thoroughly wet your natural hair in the shower before going to the pool or beach.
◦ Add your favorite leave in conditioner. When the hair shaft has soaked up all this water and conditioner, it will reach its threshold. Little to no chlorinated or salt water will absorb into your natural hair.
◦ After each outing, wash your hair with conditioner and style for the evening.
Happy swimming my naturals!!

Easy Whole Grains to eliminate and prevent Rheumatoid Arthritis naturally.
The actual credit of this recipe goes to Clint Paddison who wrote THE PADDISON PROGRAM FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS "A unique step-by-step holistic system designed to eliminate and prevent Rheumatoid Arthritis naturally giving you lasting relief from joint inflammation." http://www.clintscure.com . For me, the results have been remarkable with the added plus of regularity :)
Using the measure for your rice cooker, measure the following:
◦ 1 scoop of Buckwheat grouts
◦ 1 scoop of Quinoa
◦ 1/3 measure of amaranth
Soak grains overnight in one quart of water and 1 teaspoon lemon juice to break down plant cell walls for easier digestion. In the morning, using fine strainer, drain and rinse. Fill rice cooker with cool water to line marked "2". Add grains and cook 15 minutes; stir and cook another 15 minutes or until water has been absorbed. Mixture should be like thick oatmeal. Remove from heat and let set 2 minutes. Store grains in rectangular take-out tray and when set, cut into 6 equal servings. Keeps in refrigerator for up to one week. Eaten cold with chopped baby boc-choy, will make a delicious breakfast. It will also add substance to any lunch salads. Great as a side with dinner too! I've even sliced the cold loaf of grains and made yummy French Toast!
