So I was on youtube the other day watching make-up tutorials and natural hair stories and I came across this one girl with the longest most gorgeous head of natural hair I've ever seen. Her secret, Cayenne pepper. She mixes olive oil with cayenne pepper and massages it into her scalp once a week. So I'm like okay whatever and googled it (because google knows all) and there was tons of info on how Cayenne pepper stimulates blood flow to your hair follicles which helps your hair grow faster, shinier, and thicker (or something like that). So I was like okay I'll try it, anything that will make my hair grow faster.
So I found out that hair grows at about an average of 0.5 inches a month and mine grows at about that rate. I have been natural since July 09 and my hair is probably about 5 inches at the longest section, maybe shorter. I am happy that my hair is growing at a regular pace but then I watch youtube and its girls on there like "yeah I've been natural for 6 months and my hair touches my shoulders when stretched". All I'm saying is that my hair is not as long as I would like for it to be at this point.
So I am gonna try this thing for at least a month and hopefully my hair will have grown at least an inch longer. If it does I will keep at it.
Anyway all you do is infuse Cayenne pepper with your hair oil, water, or vodka. I am going to use olive oil for right now and then if it works I may start using castor oil which is also said to promote hair growth. Anyway you soak the pepper in whatever for at least 10 days in a dark bottle and then you just apply it to your scalp and massage it in and wash it out. I've seen some people say they slept in it with a platic cap over their head but IDK maybe on the weekends I'll do this. Last but not least you can do this as often as you like. I'm gonna attempt to do it every other day. Ok well anyway I will let y'all know the honest results in about a month and a half cause I have to soak it first.

My favorite Breakfast

Eggs and spinach scramble
Now this was suppose to be an omelet so the first time I made it I used two eggs. I can never make an omelet right so it always turns into scrambled eggs which is fine with me because it taste just as good. Now I only use one egg because with two eggs it made so much that I wasted most of it and I hate wasting food.
Ingredients:
1 whole large egg
1/2 cup spinach (frozen)
tablespoon of minced garlic
5 large sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup of diced onions
1/2 tbs of country crock spread
Nature's Seasoning
Mrs. Dash Table blend
1. Melt butter with garlic in a pan.
2. Saute the spinach in the butter add the seasoning and table blend to the spinach
3. While spinach is sauteing scramble the egg in a bowl and add a little of table blend
4. dice the mushrooms unless you want them whole and add them to the spinach along with the onions
5. when the spinach is completely thawed pour the eggs over the spinach and scrape the pan as the eggs cook.
6. The eggs are done when they aren't runny anymore. I like my eggs nice, yellow, and fluffy but if you like a little brown then cook them longer.
The seasonings you should add to your taste. Salt is not necessary because the nature's seasoning has salt.
I usually pair this with roasted chicken that I get from the grocery store deli.
