11 Month Lock Update | My Edges Grew Back, No More flakes!



Hey Mocha Family,

I am so excited about this set of locks and my enthusiasm is coming through in this video.  I really struggled with managing my flaky scalp for years.  What worked with my first set of locks was to shampoo every three days, which was daunting in the cooler months.  I knew that an omega three fatty acid deficiency was at the root of my issue and incorporated flax seeds into my diet.  This helped greatly, but if I stopped washing even for a week, the flakes would come back with a vengeance.



I've had a tremendous break through this month.  My regimen to heal subclinical hypothyroidism includes taking a tbsp of cod liver oil with my meals (twice a day).  At the same time, my locks have looked so good I had stopped rinsing altogether.  After nearly a month of random rinsing and weeks without washing with shampoo, you can imagine my amazement to discover a flake free and healthy scalp.



Be blessed!

I tried snap clips, and moved to velcro barrets when the clips slid out. I bought a different head band for every outfit. Meanwhile her curls continued to wind tighter and tighter. I kept everything in a pretty box, dubbed the hair bin . I was really frustrated at not b

Weight Loss Journey | Holiday Weight Gain

Hey Mocha Family, I can't believe I am packing twenty extra pounds! I guess weight management comes to everyone sooner or later. Can I smirk at the younger me who didn't own a scale and could eat whatever she wanted? Here is what I am doing to kick off my weight loss journey. I don't expect to lose twenty pounds in twenty one days. Instead I hope to break some really bad habits and restart my body for the New Year. With more than a decade of experience fasting like this, I know this works well for me. Be blessed!
