excited for smoothies and silky hair

starting from the beginning

i was browsing youtube and i got a fashion runway video, specifically the versace spring summer collection of 1995. remarkably many supermodels appeared and i was generally in awe at how beautiful the outfits are. very classy and luxurious.

moreso however was their beautiful shiny hair! just beyond gorgeous hair. the top comment seemed to agree with me on this matter. it made me wonder if there were any tutorials on how to achieve this level of shine. however i didn’t search very far for this and opted instead to search “how to get shiny hair”.

this led me to smoothies

when i searched up “how to get shiny hair”, after seeing a recommendation for clarifying shampoo (which i should definitely consider!) a reddit thread caught my eye and when i scanned through the answers it seemed that sleeping with a silk bonnet was a considerable option, i saw a few product options and then i read this comment.

[…] I went through a probably-not-enough-nutrition phase and it was absolutely way less shiny. I started making spinach and kale smoothies and it improved it drastically.

this struck a cord with me, as of yesterday i had an epiphany concerning nutrition; namely that if i didn’t eat a substantial meal through out the day i usually noticed a remarkable improvement in concentration. ofcourse this is moreso a false correlation; it made me realise i could really do with a keto diet. carbohydrates (the easiest option) always made me drowsy and would give me brain fog, so avoiding these (by avoiding eating entirely) also improved these fluctuations in energy levels.

a keto diet would require some restructuring of my eating habits and smoothies as an option caught my attention for the following reasons:

• i have tried and failed to implement a more diverse range of vitamin rich foods (fruits and leafy greens) as i am someone who doesn’t really have a problem eating the same foods day after day
• we have just recently gotten a (mini) dishwasher in our appartement so owning a blender would not be such a pain (when washing dishes)
  • my boyfriend is particularly excited to have a dishwasher in our house, one might say smitten. he is constantly searching for his next fix (the following load of dishes)
• i generally enjoy drinking far more than eating, beverages get me quite excited and i am fond of cocktails (which seem alike to smoothies)

save to say that i am excited by the prospects of smoothies and silky hair, seperately and in intertwined in my search. i expect to write seperate posts about the matters when i engage more in them.

for now, ciao!
