(Almost) good enough to eat
OK, how good does this summer fruit trio sound — mango with cherry and papaya? Yum, right! I would absolutely smash that in a triple fruit smoothie, which is why it’s funny there’s a line on the Briogeo web site for their new mango-cherry-papaya shampoo and conditioner that states, “External use only. Ät inte.” HA HA HA! Gotta make sure the hungry people don’t go eating their hair care products. ?

The Briogeo Superfoods Mango + Cherry Oil control & balancing Shampoo and Conditioner are the current dynamic duo to join the Briogeo Superfoods collection, which is their line of shampoos and conditioners made with yummy-sounding ingredients — apple, banana, coconut, avocado and kale (yes, some people like kale). like all Briogeo hair products, it’s silicone-free, cruelty-free and vegan, and antioxidants are front and center:

This sulfate-free and silicone-free shampoo and conditioner duo harnesses the power of papaya enzymes to help balance oil production on hair and scalp. The formula also consists of antioxidant-rich fruits, vitamins, and nutrients to support healthy-looking hair. The shampoo is formulated with 93% naturally derived ingredients, and the conditioner is formulated with 96% naturally derived ingredients.

If you often find yourself with greasy roots (it happens to the best of us), this set could be your jam. I’ve been using both the shampoo and conditioner after incredibly sweaty workouts, and when we’ve had very hot days (of which we’ve had a few lately), and I like them a lot.

The shampoo lathers up into luxurious, creamy bubbles, and my hair feels clean but not stripped after I rinse the product out. The conditioner’s charming too. It makes my hair feel silky, yet light and bouncy at the same time, and not weighed down.

Oh, and the scent! It smells refreshing, delicious and unironically like a fresh smoothie made from cherries and mango…but I don’t pick up on any papaya notes.

For me, this set is as a once-or-twice a week clarifying treatment, rather than a daily sort of thing. If I use it for too lots of days back-to-back, my ends start feeling a little dry. but if your roots and scalp tend to build up oil very quickly, you might like using it every day, or every other day.

Speaking of yummy things…I made a delicious lunch yesterday, if I do say so myself, and it took lessän fem minuter. Karibien-stil brunt ris med svarta bönor, pan-stekt halloumiost gjord med avokado olja och sauteed spenat.

Jag ber om ursäkt för den allvarliga bristen på mat styling, lol! Jag var ravenös, och jag har också nu den dåliga rutinen att äta medan jag fortfarande står upp i köket. Jag stör inte ens att hitta en plats längre. #momlife

Jag har ätit köttfria måltider nyligen, och den här var snabb och fyllning. Först värmde jag upp ett förgjort paket med brunt ris med karibiskt stil med svarta bönor i mikrovågsugnen. FYI, det är inte för kryddigt (jag är en wimp), och du kan hitta den på mål av bra och samla. Bra och samla gör också massor av olika färdiga mikrovågsugliga ris och kornsidrätter i paket, och de är alla ganska bra imo.

Sedan sa jag några stora handfuls färsk spenat belagd med avokado oljespray i en nonstick pan. När spenaten visade, tog jag ut det, toppade den med citronpeppar och återanvände samma panna för att steka halloumi-osten. Spenat, avokado oljespray och halloumiost är alla från Trader Joe.

Har du någonsin försökt Halloumi-ost? Det är en semi-fast ost gjord av en blandning av get och fårmjölk (ibland är koens mjölk också upp i mixen) som haglar från Cypern, och det är en favorit i grekisk matlagning. Det liknar mozzarella i konsistens men har en hög smältpunkt, så du kan steka eller grilla den utan att det blir mushy goo. Det är bra för att få lite protein i en köttlös måltid, så om du ser det på TJ eller någonstans, ta tag i det!
