Double Duty Beauty: Moisturizing Hair Mask

It's official the Double Duty Beauty series is back! This week I show you how I create my own version of a moisturizing hair mask. This beauty recipe also works great when you incorporate it with your favorite conditioner, especially if you desire more of a detangling agent.

Ingredients
Plain Yogurt
1 Whole Avocado
1 or 2 Eggs
Olive Oil

Why Each Ingredient is Great For Your Hair

Yogurt - the natural probiotics found in will draw impurities from the hair & milk protiens will help strengthen the hair

Avocado - a rich in many vitamins like A, B6, C and K. But what makes avocados so great for the hair is the ability of their natural oils to penetrate the hair shaft and thoroughly moisturize hair.

Egg - Eggs contains proteins that strengthen hair and add moisture

Olive Oil - Contains fatty acids that are essential for nourishing hair with moisture

If you desire more of an intensive deep conditioning treatment for your hair try mixing
one whole avocado or two hass avocados, with two egg yolks and olive oil. Apply this mixture to damp or wet hair and cover with a plastic cap for 30 minutes. When done you should have well moisturized coils.

Yummy Yogurt Facial

Hey Beauties!! Here's another one of my all time favorite at home beauty treatments. I call it the yogurt facial. But, its really more like a mask.I've tried this beauty recipe a Gabillion (OK, I know that's not a real word...lol) times and it has not failed me yet. My skin always feels so soft and nourished after I wipe it off. All you have to do is apply the yogurt and honey mixture to a clean wet or damp face and wait for it to dry. If any the mixture gets on your lips just lick it off, who cares, it's 100% edible. It only takes about ten minutes or so to dry but I've been known to keep in on for hours while I do laundry, spruce up my manicure with a coat of clear nail polish or even give myself a spa pedicure. Once it has dried take a wet wash cloth and remove the dried mask. When done you should have soft glowing skin. Mine usually feels like it's been detoxed!!

Here's What You'll Need:
- Plain Yogurt (I prefer to use Greek yogurt)
- Honey

Here's why you might want to give it a try:
- Tightens and tones skin
- Removes dead skin
- Lactic acid reduces the appearance of pore size (I can attest to that)
- Refines & hydrates skin
- Did I mention it's 100% edible so feel free to eat what ever is left over its also good for your bones, digestive and immune systems.

Over Double Duty Beauty video shows you how to make this yummy facial.

Mango-go Smoothie

Hey Guys,

Yesterday I created the official mango-go smoothie. Well, after my let down when I went to get a mango smoothie and they were all out. I decided to make my own and after I slucked down two cups and was mad that I made such a small batch I had a eureka moment and decided to call it my Mango-go smoothie!!! Here are the ingredients I used to make it. Watch out Rachel Ray, I'm thinking about making my own 5 minute video tutorial.....just kidding...maybe



Frozen Mango Pulp


Mango nectar


I used vanilla yogurt because that's what I had available, but, I'm sure it would taste the same or even better if plain yogurt was used.
