Curly Care Series: Inside Out

It's a brand new season in New York. Summer is finally starting to rear it's head and that's when I start to pay extra special attention to my hair. I have 3b/high porosity curls (if I've already lost you head check here to find out what sort of curl pattern and porosity you're working with) which means I always have to take care of my hair. And if you're here, I'm sure you've got curls you need to nourish, too! This summer is especially tricky. Coming out of a rough school year filled with little to no hair care other than weekly wash and go routines, my hair is dry, frizzy, broken, and all-together damaged. Add on summer sun, pool water, and coastal salts and you've got a heap of trouble. So, today I'm starting my curly hair care series here on MNLY with how I take care of my hair from the inside!

Summer Beauty Smoothie

Summer is almost well and truly upon us. It's been a weird few weeks here in NYC with temperatures ranging from 50 fahrenheit all the way up to 89 like it was today. But, luckily for a heat seeker like me, the warmth seems to be here to stay. This AM I woke up sticky and hot, so after a dip in the pool and a little sunbathing I made this amazing smoothie. I think it's a new favorite. Not only does it promote skin health (you will be glowing), but it's also going to kick fat in the butt. I had this smoothie just before the gym and I felt amazing. Keep reading for the recipe and breakdown of all the awesome health benefits.
