FOOD, INC. SALE
Hi Gorgeous!
Yesterday was quite a day for me. I did Hot Core Yoga for the first time. I'll post on the experience another day. And later on, caught Oprah's show on Food 101. For this show, Michael Pollan , among others, on talking about the food we eat. In particular, Michael Pollan was there to discuss the movie "Food, Inc." which I must say that I'm a bit ashamed & embarrassed that I hadn't seen it before now.
Never heard of the documentary "Food, Inc."? Well here's a synopsis.
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.
Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield's Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms' Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising—and often shocking truths—about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.
This is obviously a movie which I believe every household in America should take time to watch so that you can be aware of your food choices. Ignorance is not bliss. It can actually cost you things, like your health. So educate yourself.
Fortunately, Oprah and a few others feel similiar to this because you can purchase the "Food, Inc." dvd at Amazon.com for $9.99 thru midnight this Friday. It normally retails between $26 and $35, depending on whether you are Blu-ray person or not. Either way, this is an excellent deal. I've already ordered my copy and should receive it be next Wednesday, so expect more on this.
Remember, educate yourself. Be in the know.
Much Luv,

THE GOODNESS OF HAIRVEDA'S VATIKA FROSTING
"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." *sighs*
I am finally getting around to reviewing Hairveda’s Vatika Frosting.
You had me at “Hello”. *sighs* or better yet, that scent.
That undeniable scent of frosting on a freshly baked cupcake. The heat from the perfectly sized petite cake causing the scent of warmed vanilla frosting to invade my senses. *shakes myself back to my senses*
Okay, let me get to my review. Since you already know that I’m taken by the heavenly scent of this product, I’ll focus on its performance.
I have used this only as a pre-poo treatment and am extremely satisfied. This product, whose consistency is that of …well, frosting leaves my hair quite manageable. However, because it is an oil, please know that it melts in your hand …just like frosting in your mouth. Focus, CO! Focus! But I digress, with the addition of this to my regimen; I can feel a difference in my hairs moisture retention alongside its manageability during my washing regimen. I especially find it helpful when I do a henna treatment or another ayurvedic hair treatment since they can be a little drying during the process.
The following is straight from the Hairveda.com:
Vatika Frosting-Enhanced Coconut with a Sweet Twist!
Vatika in Hindu means garden. In India, coconut oil is widely used in Ayurveda health remedies. This special blend of coconut oil, henna, lemon & Amla provides natural nourishment to your hair.
The blend gives the hair body and radiance, taking care of the critical balance of nutrients. Our pure coconut oil is blended with henna and Amla with lemon to strengthen each strand of hair from within.
When used 1 day before washing, Vatika Frosting provides a protective coating promoting shine and health. A scalp massage with Vatika Frosting also promotes hair growth. To maintain the oil and moisture balance of your hair, remember to do a conditioning treatment with oil at least three times a week.
________________________________________
Ingredients include: Pure unrefined Coconut oil, Amla extract, Henna extract, Lemon extract, Fragrance.
Among being a pre-poo treatment, you can also use Hairveda Vatika Frosting after final conditioning, then rinse with warm water (oil rinse). You can use it as a sealant. Or you can mix it with conditioner and leave it on your wet or dry hair for an hour before rinsing out.
An 8 oz jar costs $10, but I happen to catch it on its $5 sell. Bought two, so I’m contemplating doing a giveaway but this scent has me a little greedy. ;)
This is staying in my hair care regimen for life! Loves this stuff.

Haiti
If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself then make a change...
Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror
Can't change the world overnight, we can start to staying alive, one at a time.. So let's make a history, and help out those in need, one at a time... we can change a life.
Travis McCoy - One at a Time
We all know that mother earth is crying AGAIN after what happened at Haiti. A massive 7.0-magnitude earthquake has struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti. and from what I recall, the victims already 200000 people dead and still, there are large number of people missing.
I think it's time to showing the world that we CARE. I care so much for them, especially for the dead children, or them who lost their family & their loved ones. They lost their houses, as a matter of fact, they lost everything they had before.
It's not about how much the donation, but the truth is, the EFFORT and showing that we CARE to our brothers and sisters. Let's shed some lights on Haiti,,
I finally made an effort yesterday by visited www.hopeforhaitinow.org. How about you?
