Defend your crowning glory with Argan Oil

I heard there’s a growing hype in the market about Moroccan Argan Oil. I got really curious because a lot of my friends have been using it on their hair and claimed that the oil works like magic. So I wanted to try it out for myself. I haven’t had the chance to get my hair treated for over 2 years, yes, 2 years! I wanted to grow my hair and have it permed for change but upon doing so, it badly damaged the tips, leaving it dry and causing it to have A LOT OF SPLIT ENDS. I guess I’m just one of those who had a really bad perm, because I know others who still maintained their hair’s shine and strength.

My long, permed hair.

I tried a lot of products to help with the damage but the only solution was to cut it short. My friend then suggested that I use Moroccan Argan Oil — which I have been using for almost 6 months now. My verdict? FIVE SHINING STARS 🙂 So what is it about Argan Oil that makes hair absolutely beautiful? Let’s break it down shall we?

Argan Tree

1. Argan Oil comes from the kernels of an Argan Tree which originates in Morocco.

2. Pure Argan Oil is full of essential fatty acids and Vitamins that are proven to help regenerate damaged hair.

3. It also has very high components of ANTI-OXIDANTS.

4. Argan Oil is a miracle oil because it helps control frizz, leaving hair shiny and vibrant 🙂

5. It also helps treat split ends and hydrates the hair from roots to tips.

I had a haircut!

I had to cut my long, wavy hair but it’s ok, I’m loving my new do 🙂 I was already using Argan Oil before my haircut and it really help treat my hair. I HAVE ZERO SPLIT ENDS now and my hair is shiny and healthy again.

Here are some of the Argan products that I have been using:

Argan Oil Shampoo with Avocado Oil and Wheat Germ Oil extract.

This shampoo is a drugstore brand so I had to read through the entire label, front and back, to make sure that it has the argan oil essence at least. While this product is not organic it claims to be eco-certified and 100% natural — natural products are often defined as having been minimally processed and with no artificial preservatives. Well regardless, I’m liking really liking this shampoo haha!

Argan Oil Conditioner

And! It comes with a conditioner! How’s that!?! 😀 So far the combination of the two has made my hair soft and manageable compared to synthetic ones. It would be really hard to find pure, organic Argan Oil shampoo and conditioner because the oil itself is already quite expensive.

ORGANIC ARGAN OIL

Now, this hair serum is PURE, ECO-CERTIFIED, DERMA-GRADE, 100% ORGANIC, and it’s also quite expensive for such a small bottle! LOL! BUT! This bottle contains everything that you need to keep your hair healthy, you only need a small amount for daily application. I use 5 drops of this miracle oil daily and it’s more than enough to give my hair that extra moisture and shine, this product cured my badly damaged hair 🙂

The company that carries this product is called One Earth Organics, and they only carry all organic products. They are only available on instagram and ships world wide. You can look them up on IG, their handle is ONEEARTHORGANICSBEAUTY, the owners are Tyff Short and Nelson Moss.

DID YOU KNOW?

1. Argan Oil can also be used on the skin. It’s the perfect moisturizer that will leave the skin soft and smooth.

2. CAN HELP FIGHT ACNE. Argan Oil can help soothe the skin and promote healing.

3. The perfect ANTI-AGING oil. Because it’s high in anti-oxidants, Argan Oil can give that youthful glow and helps reduce wrinkles.

4. Argan Oil can help cure skin conditions like Eczema. Because it contains vitamins and essential fatty acids it promotes the healing of the afflicted skin.

5. Can be applied on the nails to keep it healthy. For those who have cracked heels, Argan Oil is also a best option to moisturize your feet.

I love Argan Oil, and I hope you do to, and for those of you haven’t tried it yet — I assure you, it’s one miracle in a bottle. 🙂

The healing power of the word Vacation

I live in a tropical country with 7,107 islands, but reside right in the heart of the metro where traffic jams and stressful days are a norm. I haven’t written on this blog in a month because the workload was so demanding! Good thing there came some holidays that gave us an extended weekend 🙂 I wanted to DE-STRESS and make the most out of the long VACATION — this word is so so elusive….

So myself and the entire family decided to explore one of the thousand islands of this tropical country — we ended up in the beautiful paradise of Coron, Palawan.

Nature can do wonders in our body. It’s not just the products we use that can help cure illnesses, sometimes all we need is a bit of fresh air, a bit of rest and relaxation. NATURE IS THE BEST DETOXIFIER!

Breath-taking view of the blue sea.

We rented a small boat that can hold 12 people, and this became our little home during the days we were at sea. We went island-hopping and witnessed the wonders of the ocean. My pictures don’t do it justice, really. We stopped by one of the islands with a coral garden. I DOVE RIGHT IN AND FELT ALL THE NEGATIVE ENERGY LEAVE MY BODY.

The Little Mermaid

We also stopped by one of the white sand beaches where we had our lunch. We couldn’t get my little niece to get out of the water! She was already ashore and still kept swimming with full gear on, hahaha! 😀

Dipping my feet into the ocean while the boat is in motion 🙂

I was in trance during this moment. I forgot about EVERYTHING and just lived in the moment, I only took a few pictures for memories’ sake. It felt good to be sitting at edge of the boat and play with the water, than the edge of a seat with a laptop on. I COULD LIVE OUT HERE FOREVER!

In my native language, these boats are called “Bangka”

This vacation made me realize that the world works too damn much that it’s missing out a lot of the beautiful things. We’re only here a short while, so when we get the chance to witness beauty, seize it and live in the moment!
