Yummy Things: The new Briogeo Superfoods Mango + Cherry Oil control & balancing Shampoo, and a quick and easy healthy Lunch idea

(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. No comas.” ¡JAJAJA! 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 lessde cinco minutos. Arroz marrón de estilo caribeño con frijoles negros, queso halloumi pan-frito hecho con aceite de aguacate, y espinacas salteadas.

¡Pido disculpas por la severa falta de estilo de comida, lol! Yo era voraz, y ahora ahora tengo la mala rutina de comer mientras estás de pie en la cocina. Ni siquiera me molesto en encontrar un asiento. #momlife

Últimamente he estado comiendo comidas sin carne, y esta fue rápida y llena. Primero, calenté un paquete pre-hecho de arroz marrón de estilo caribeño con frijoles negros en el microondas. FYI, no es demasiado picante (soy un wimp), y puedes encontrarlo en blanco por Good & Gather. Bueno y se reúne también hace un montón de diferentes platos de arroz y granos de microondas preparados en paquetes, y todos son bastante buenos imo.

Luego, salve a unos pocos grandes puñados de espinacas frescas recubiertas con spray de aceite de aguacate en una sartén antiadherente. Cuando la espinaca se marchitó, lo sacé, lo cubrí con pimienta de limón, y reutilizé la misma sartén para freír el queso Halloumi. La espinaca, el spray de aceite de aguacate y el queso Halloumi son todos de Trader Joe’s.

¿Alguna vez has probado el queso Halloumi? Es un queso semi-firma hecho de una mezcla de la leche de cabra y la leche de oveja (ocasionalmente, la leche de vaca también está en la mezcla) que sale de Chipre, y es un favorito en la cocina griega. Es similar a la mozzarella en textura, pero tiene un alto punto de fusión, por lo que puede freírlo o la parrilla sin que se convierta en Mushy Goo. Es ideal para obtener algunas proteínas en una comida sin carne, así que si lo ve en TJ o en otro lugar, ¡consíguelo!
