Health & Beauty Tips: H2O


Drop that bottle of soda and replace it with a refreshing glass of water. Trust me, both your hair and body will thank you.

Hydrate your hair from the inside out! Hydration has a direct impact on the quality of your hair and its growth. Satisfying your body’s daily need of H20 (6-8 8oz glasses per day), you are promoting the cell reproduction that is necessary for your hair to thrive and grow!


Spritz your hair with water daily for instant hydration before applying your favorite moisturizer and sealant. 

Kiki’s Hair Spritz Mix:
1/3 cup of Trader Joe’s Tea Tree Conditioner
3-4 drops of peppermint oil
2-3 drops of Tea Tree oil
4 table spoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) and 1-½ cups of water
Pour these ingredients into an empty spray bottle and you’ve got a easy hair spritz.

After washing your hair, end your wash with a final cold water rinse. This will add a natural glossy sheen and help to real your hair’s cuticle for a smooth finish.


Quick Tip:
Having trouble with your weight? Try drinking 1-2 glasses of water before  each of your meals. This will help you feel fuller so that you won’t over eat and it will help you reach your daily 8-glass goal!

The ELITE Water Challenge:
 For the Month of April try replacing juice and soda with a tall glass of water.
