Recipe for my special batch of Juices & Berries..

I'm not a fan of measuring stuff...1 cup of this 1/4 cup of that...eh? I'll pass, I like to "eyeball" the ingredients.... I've been asked several times for the recipe to my infamous bottle of "juices and berries" (adapted from Coming to America) LOL! Honestly, I kinda throw any and everything in my bottle, depending on what stuff I have in stock. This bottle has::
*olive oil
*melted shea butter
*castor oil
*a generous squeeze of your favorite leave in conditioner (just make sure it is free from parabens and words you can't pronounce) I use Nubian Heritage/Carol's Daughter products.
*grape seed oil
*a dab of water
*rosemary and/or lavender for fragrance
I have different variations of this "recipe"...this mixture is awesome for my hair. It makes my hair so soft and its growing like weeds...I have a feeling I'm leaving something out...hmmmm?
Google your favorite natural hair care mixtures and mix and match a recipe that works best for you and your hair! Happy Mixing!

PRODUCT REVIEW::: Nubian Heritage

Humble Beginnings


In 1992, two New York street vendors embarked on a personal mission to produce high quality bath body products, utilizing natural ingredients and traditional African recipes. Nubian Heritage is the brainchild of these lifelong friends who grew frustrated with the inferior quality, high chemical content and exorbitant prices of products manufactured for people of African descent. More than ten years later, most of their products are no longer made in bath tubs or kitchen sinks, but the Nubian Heritage philosophy remains the same; produce the best products imaginable for our people, our family.

100% Black Owned and Proud of It!

For generations, Lemongrass, with its strong and sweet lemony aroma, has been used in the purification rituals, as well as, to promote psychic awareness. Steam-distilled lemongrass has a strong history of medicinal use in the West Indies, Africa and South America. Tea Tree oil's remarkable anti-bacterial and healing properties, long used to alleviate skin problems, are a perfect complement to the powerful anti-inflammatory properties of Lemongrass.

Nubian Heritage uses Madagascan Lemongrass oil and Aboriginal Tea Tree oil in a moisturizing Shea Butter Soap to help clear oily troubled skin. This refreshing deodorant soap, with its mild anti-septic and rich moisturizing properties, treats and tones skin. In addition to their topical healing properties, these exotic essential oils are also revered for their outstanding aromatherapy values.


Natural ingredients...with the exception of a few words that I can't pronounce. When selecting things that I consume or apply on my body I check for harmful chemicals like Parabens and DMDM.

Honestly, this stick was wiggidty wack! It wouldn't melt...I didn't enjoy the shea butter stick at all!



I love this shampoo/conditioner and its perfect for the entire family!
