I've been SO busy and this is a super short video about my move! The fun part about it was packing in 1 day because we waited until last minute, it was like the 10 Second Tidy for 10 hours (do not recommend for anything bigger than a small apartment) :P. So much has happened in the past week, but things are finally starting to calm down. Can't wait to be in a new place and not a dark dungeon :P.

![Oil Cleanse For Blackheads & Pimples
Update: Ive been using a mix of hazelnut oil and avocado oil. It also gives great results for my skin so I wanted to share it in case you guys are still trying to find the perfect oils and want ideas!
Why strip all of the oils from your skin with a harsh cleanser to dry out a zit when you can create a healthy skin environment, a healthy acid mantle, and skin that is generally less prone to infection? This cleanse has been great for my acne, blackheads, whiteheads and pimples! In the case that I DO get a stubborn pimple, I throw some tea tree oil on top of it and go to bed, but thats worst case scenario. I find that my skin will stay clear if I do everything right. My acne was bad (my mom described it as out of control) but it was not severe, I have seen much worse unfortunately and I really empathize with it. If you have very severe acne, you may need extra help with it outside of diet and proper skin treatment. But generally, there is hope for most of us if we make the proper adjustments and get to know our body and skin!
Q: Does this work on waterproof makeup
A: I cant say if it works for waterproof makeup because Ive never tried it :(. Sorry! I wish I could be of more help, darnit! But even on days that I wear enough make-up to look like a black-forest cake, the oil makes short work of it! So I think itll be a formidable foe for waterproof makeup!
I cannot stress enough how important it is to find a quality castor oil for this method of cleansing. The brand of castor oil I use is pure, cold pressed, hexane free and certified by periodic laboratory tests to be free of pesticide residues. Bad things will happen to your skin if you use a contaminated oil, and that is where the bulk of the bad oil cleanse reviews come from. So be a smart shopper!
I have gotten requests to show you how I do an oil cleanse, so here it is! Cleansing with oil on a dry face is actually a very popular practice in Asia. Shu Uemura has an entire line of oil cleansers dedicated to different types of skin, and thats how I discovered the method years ago. My skin is combination oily. My boyfriend does this 1-2 times a day and uses castor oil for a few other things as well! I hope this helps.
Ingredients: Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Cold-Pressed Hexane Free Castor Oil (the one I use is by The Palma Christi)
I buy all of my oils at Whole Foods!
Love and light,
Kassie

1/2 LRG Yellow Onion
Thai Chili Peppers

TACO CHICKEN SALAD - this is one of my favourite recipes, I switched the protein as a preference, and got it from MarksDailyApple.com
Ingredients:
1 Yellow onion (diced)
1 tsp fresh oregano

1 tbsp fresh dill
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

![Healthier Hair Routine: Ombré + Hair Care
Hello, friends =]. This is an update about my hair, I switched to ombré so I can have hair that requires less maintenance, but is still dramatic and bright. Now, if I choose to alter it, I wont be putting dye directly on my scalp. The hair right now is darker than I want it to be, but we dyed it very dark to compensate for the inevitable fading and so the transition is more gradual as it grows out.
Products Mentioned:
Coconut Oil
Avocado
Avocado Oil
Jojoba Oil
The Body Deli Living Hair Shampoo and Conditioner
I should mention again that I dont think The Body Deli shampoo and conditioner are good if your hair is not manageable to begin with. Ive been using natural hair products for quite some time, but my old hair wouldve been impossible with these!
Special Thanks to my stylist, Tyler, for being a perfectionist and always making sure Im thrilled with my hair!

![Bed Head: Styling Next Day Hair
I love next day hair. It styles better, feels healthier, and doesnt involve me stripping my hairs natural oils every single day. I still wash my body, but I like to style my hair and let it do its thing for as long as possible :). I should mention that I comb my hair on Day 1, and use a soft bristled brush for the rest of the week.
I hope you find these tips useful!

Video FAQ
Q: Why did you switch from Dr. Bronners as a shampoo?
A: Dr. Bronners worked great for me. I started experimenting with other shampoos because it doesnt seem to have an equally beneficial effect on other heads, so I wanted to recommend something cheap and natural that could be used by more people!
Q: How do you get your curls to hold until the next day?
A: For me, its all about the size of the curl. If the curl is a perfect size, I can brush it and it will look like a pretty wave and hold better naturally without product. If the curl (or curling iron) is too small, it brushes into frizzy afro-like look. If the curl is too big, it wont hold without product and will fall flat. This is why I curl my hair with a straightener, if you get the angle right and curl them all in the same direction, your curls will have a better chance of holding! Make sure you deep condition so it feels great, too!
Q: How can I wash my hair less often? It gets so greasy after one day!
A: I feel you. My hair used to get greasy, itchy and super dandruffy after ONE day of not washing. It was because I used so many drying shampoos to get the grease off and my scalp had to compensate for what it lost by producing more oil. Its a long process, I know, but start by doing research and finding a very gentle and natural shampoo. Play it by ear and see if you can start slowly getting away with being more minimalistic. Its all about training your hair to take care of itself without crazy amounts of intervention with harsh, drying products! Treat your scalp like you treat your face, dont dry it to oblivion!
Q: Have you tried the no poo method aka baking soda and apple cider vinegar?
A: Yes. If my hair was thinner, shorter and not colour treated, I would use it still. Its a great alternative to shampoo and conditioner if your hair is very manageable. Perfect for many men!
Q: My hair stinks if I dont wash it for one day, help!
A: I was amazed to hear that some people actually get stinky heads after one day of not showering. I have never, ever had this problem. It might be because I have very thick hair, and less room for oil glands on my head. Hair odor is like body odor, so it will take a deodorizer to assist the problem. I would love to know if any of you ladies have had luck with any natural hair deodorizers!
Q: Do you used a heat protectant?
A: No. Though Im sure many people would benefit from one, I personally do not use any product that is marketed as a heat protectant. I dont have any problem growing my hair, especially since my diet change. My hair is strong and I have more hair than I know what to do with, so I dont see the point. I have never benefitted from using a heat protectant in all of the years of using heat on my hair, so it is something I cant be bothered to use. You might benefit from one if your hair is more fragile!
Q: Can I still do this if I exercise and sweat a lot?
A: I work out a lot, but I have a preference for high intensity interval training. So my workouts are relatively short, I do sweat but not for extended periods of time, which helps a lot!
Q: Can I use hair powder on dark hair?
A: My roots are almost black and it works on me. Just make sure you apply it sparingly so it can mop up excess oil without building up too much. It looks a little chalky at first, but if I rub it in to evenly distribute it and wait a while, it will look like soft, clean hair, nothing more!
Q: Do you wear a shower cap?
A: No, I just put my hair in a high bun and hop in the shower to wash my body. I usually get my neck and the hair that frames my face wet because I wash my face, but it doesnt bother me.
Everyone has different hair and skin, and there are so many variables. As with all of my recommendation videos, I encourage you to do what feels best for you and your personal needs. What works for me will not work for everyone.

![DIY Terrys Hot Cocoa
My boyfriend Terry took over and made an unbelievably tasty hot chocolate with pretty darn good ingredients!
Ingredients:
1 square of 70%+ chocolate
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1 teaspoon of organic unrefined coconut oil
1 teaspoon grass-fed butter
2 tablespoons raw lucuma powder
1 1/2 cup milk
Dash of vanilla extract
2 home made marshmallows (optional, I coat mine in unsweetened coconut flakes)

This is a great pick-me-up that helps for those long study sessions during finals. Its also a nice warm drink for the holidays! I eat a lot of natural fats regularly, but Im careful not to over-consume in the presence of sugar! Remember, its a treat =]!
p.s. I was shocked when Terry called me the wife haha
