Indulge in YOU is a blog about indulging in yourself from the inside out. You only get one YOU so you have to love and take care of yourself. I will be talking about natural hair in all aspects, fitness, skin care, and more. Everything that I will post is either by experience or acknowledged quotes and readings from other sources. By no means am I a professional hair stylist, personal trainer or dermatologist. Enjoy yourself and free your mind!
Well it is not hard deviate from your "Healthy" choice of foods due to individuals working in the office scene where kolaches (A big pig in a blanket), biscuits, hash brown casseroles, doughnuts, snacks and everything else are within an arm's reach. Also, people tend to deviate when their time is scarce. Maybe you woke up late and were in a rush, or you spent your time getting the kids and hubby/wife out of the door and had 2 minutes to take care of your own hunger. During these times you grab something quick and not so nutritious. I have a solution that can help you out when you are tight on time. It takes about 2 to 4 minutes to make and it is very nutritious and tasty! Take a look at the video below. If you try out the recipe in the video below let me know your results. What is your quick "go to" breakfast choice?
Your post workout nutrition is just as important as your breakfast meal. After you complete your workout your body needs to be replenished with protein and carbohydrates. During your workout, you body uses the fuel that it has stored for its energy source. This fuel needs to be replaced. Replenishing your body with carbohydrates will replenish the muscle glycogen (Glycogen is the source of energy most often used for exercise). Replenishing your body with protein will aid in muscle repair. You should focus on easily digestible quick carbs and quickly digestible protein.
According to "Truth about abs" , a good source of quickly digestible natural carbs such as frozen bananas, pineapples, honey, or organic maple syrup are perfect to elicit an insulin response that will promote muscle glycogen replenishment and a general anabolic muscle building effect. The more you can assist the muscle repair process, the more you increase your metabolic rate and can help your fat loss as well. The best source of quickly digestible protein is a quality non-denatured whey protein and/or some fat-free or low-fat yogurt.
Good Morning my darling readers! I pray that all is well with each of you. This weekend I was playing around with my camera and decided to do a mini photo shoot of myself. This is by no means a professional shoot. The lighting wasn't great at all but since I love taking pictures, I decided to “Pose for the Frame”. The tools I used were my camera, a tripod, and of course myself ;-).
Do you have shoes sitting on the floor of your closet? Do you ever misplace your shoes that are not on shelves or in boxes? Well, I might have the answer to your problem. I was sent a link to the Shoe Wheel Shoe Storage and Organization and I was amazed. I usually keep all of my boxes that accompany my shoes but I do have some that are located on the floor of my closet. I was thinking about getting storage shelves for my loose shoes, but I think I have found an alternative. This is going on my wish list. I really like this product. The wheel rotates and allows your shoes to ventillate. Graduation is coming up and this would be a wonderful gift for the graduate.
I can see other uses for this wheel as well. It can be used to house large hair accessories such as headbands, scarves and hats.

Have you ever wondered why your hair was so long, thick, and full of life as a child? Even then, our parents used products that contained mineral oil.......Blue Magic Grease! They also used rubberbands, shampoos with sulfates, brushes, etc. So, what's the big deal about mineral oil, sulfates, etc you might ask? Well, after a few years of being natural I asked myself the same question. Take a look at my video below and feel free to chime in with your opinions. Why do you think your hair thrived while being natural as a child?
