YAY Shea Butter

Hey Divas,

I got my 10lbs block of shea butter finally!!!! So for today I will be a shea butter making fool!! LOL

The 10 Spot: Items I bought for $10 or less

Hey Nappy, Kinky, Curly Divas,

I went on a trip to Whole Foods today I needed to re-up on my castile soap!! Thanks to the $20.00 jar of whipped Shea butter I sold this afternoon, I was able to go out of my budget just a lil bit lol!!

Whole Foods Organic Peppermint Castile Soap

Whole Foods now carry their own brand of castile soap! I bought the 16oz bottle the for $6.99 which is not too bad the size above it was about $3 bucks more which is about the equivalent of Dr. Bronners. The soap is kinda thick I can't wait to use it in the shower tonight!! It also has some cool ingredients like Organic Apple Juice, Coconut oil, Sunflower seed oil, JoJoba oil, water, Potassium Hydroxide, Guar Gum, Peppermint oil, and Aloe juice. 

Dr. Bronner's Almond Castile Soap

This soap is my all time favorite!! I love the relaxing smell of the Almond!! They have actually went down on their price for the Dr. Bronner's just a lil I bought this bottle for 5.99. For those who are new to such products this is a natural soap just like the one above its a more popular brand.

Whole Foods Bulk Flax Seeds

I bought this bag of Flax Seed to make some flaxseed gel when I do my twist out. I found a good recipe on YouTube that of course I will tweek a little bit, but I will be buying some potassium sorbate so it last longer and inhibits the growth of mold. The flax seed was on sale for $1.99/lbs and I bought 0.38lbs of flax so I paid  $0.76 cent

Well ladies thats all I bought today I need to go to the halal market and finish the rest of my shopping list I need a gallon of coconut oil and Olive oil

Nappturally Yours,

I Mean Business

Hello my Napptural Divas!!

I have some exciting news!! I have been playing and playing around with starting my on Natural Bath & Body company, I'm stepping out on faith and getting this thing started. I just bought 10lbs of raw shea butter, fair trade from Ghana!! I'm so so so so did I say so? blessed right now to have found the kind of company I was looking for to supply the shea butter.

I'm very picky about my shea butter. I just can't buy any shea butter or anything that people try to pass as shea butter. So here are a few facts about African Shea butter that get my attention fast.

Shea butter is:....
NOT YELLOW (really its not)
Ivory in color
NOT GREASY
NOT PURE WHITE
nutty in smell

Ok I know someone is like YES SHEA BUTTER IS TOO YELLOW lol! Well, my dears I hate to burst you're bubble, but its not. The Shea nut is white when boiled it looks yellow like other oils but when it hardens it should turn back to the ivory color its supposed to be. When you buy yellow Shea butter its either 1 of 2 things. Its ivory Shea butter with a yellow coloring in it or its another butter that comes from the African Butter Tree called the Kpangnan Tree (Pentadesma butyracea) also known as Golden Shea

The Kpangnan tree is native to the country of Togo. This butter is just as good as Shea butter and has some of the same properties as Shea butter. I've noticed the smell of this butter is more nuttier than Shea butter. My friend from Ghana really educated me on the differences and the uses of each butter.

I personally prefer the ivory Shea butter and most people I know look at me strange when I have yellow butter lol

Please keep a look out for the products and I'll be reveling the company name as soon as I get all the legalities taken care of.

I love you guys!!
