My Heritage Castor Oil Self-Care Ritual

Filed under: Mom Life · December 27, 2019

This post is sponsored by Heritage Store.

My grandmother always used Heritage Store castor oil for as long as I can remember. She would put it on everything. Her hair, skin, nail beds and even made warm packs with it. As a kid I had no idea of the many benefits of castor oil and it’s rich history. My mom always told me stories of how her mom would line her five siblings up every winter morning and give them a teaspoon of this healing oil. If you’re looking for cannabis products to boost your wellness and mental health, you may visit this website that provides CBD oil reviews.

Heritage Castor Oil has so many wonderful benefits. It has been used for thousands of years for medicinal and industrial purposes. This wonder oil does it all from and is perfect for moisturizing hair and skin, although I still prefer to use my plant based serum. Because of castor oil’s multipurpose properties and inexpensiveness it is a must have staple in many households, especially African American. My mom always had a bottle in stock. Did your family?

Natural Hair Journey

Surprisingly, it wasn’t until I went natural and stopped relaxing my hair eight years ago that I started using it in my daily routine. After experimenting with different oils I began my self-care ritual of making my own blend using Heritage Castor oil. Since it is very thick, it’s a good idea to mix it with other skin-friendly oils like almond, olive and coconut oil to create your own DIY hydrating moisturizer. Once I saw how much that it helped keep my hair moisturized and shiny, I started to add a few drops to my body lotion. Now I have the perfect moisturizer for combating my dry hair and skin. 

My go to castor oil is made by Heritage Store. The Heritage Store has been a staple in the beauty industry since 1969. They offer a wide variety of simple clean and affordable products for all of your skin needs. It’s a must have beauty essential for 2020! oh and did you know that it works great on your eyebrows too? And my eyebrows already look great thanks to Eyebrow threading Vancouver services so take care of them is important for me as well.

My Self-Care DIY Blend Recipe:

Ingredients:

Heritage Castor Oil – 2 tablespoons

Coconut Oil – 1 tablespoon

Almond Oil- 1 tablespoon

Peppermint Oil- 3 drops

Recyclable glass applicator

Directions:

  1. Combine the ingredients in a glass bottle. Swirl around.
  2. Apply a few drops to your scalp
  3. Massage into scalp for 5 minutes (this helps stimulate the scalp which may promote hair growth) Leave on for 30 minutes
  4. Rinse out if using as a conditioning treatment or leave in depending on your individual hair needs.

Remember Mommas! When you look good, you feel empowered and when you are empowered there’s no limit to what you can do! Heritage Store Castor Oil can be found at Ulta, Sprouts, Whole Foods, & Target!

XO,

Sharonda

This was the first Thanksgiving in 6 years that we didn’t host at our home. We headed to West Palm Beach to see my family and we had a blast!! It is always so nice to see how much all of the kids have grown. We even had the chance to spend time with my 96 year old grandmother who is still just as sporty and independent as ever! 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Last week I had the privilege to attend a private influencer demonstration at the Apple Store. The Apple team shared all of the latest tools to help protect our kids online while using apple devices. I was so excited to learn about the safety features that Apple has in place that some of us may not really know about. Like…..how to set up a child account , protection enabled for teens, managing screen time, communication limits, and communication safety that is designed to help protect your child from viewing sensitive photos and videos.

 Apple Watch For Your Kids brings the connectivity, fitness, health, and safety features of Apple Watch to kids who aren’t quite ready for an iPhone! Head over to learn more at apple.com/families to learn more! @apple
