I was researching ways to improve pores, fine lines, and texture on my face. That's why I decided to try a glycolic peel. I decided to try it on my own at home. This is the video of me doing the peel. I also linked the products I purchased from Amazon below.

Essential #1: MCT Oil
I put MCT oil in my coffee in the morning. It helps add fat to your diet. MCT Oil also helps with brain clarity, they help with digestive health, and they contain antioxidant properties. Here is the MCT oil I use. https://amzn.to/2NiJQzG
Essential #2: Keto testing strips or a ketosis meter
These are essential because they let you know if your body is in ketosis. This is when your body is burning fat. The strips just let you know if ketones are present. The meter actually tells how many ketones are in your blood. Here are the ones I suggest:
You need a food scale to help measure out your portions. This is important to get the macros you need without overdoing it. I learned this the hard way.
I use these containers to prep my meals for the week. This is essential because it helps keep you on track. It has good portion sizes. This is great if you work all week and don't have time to cook every evening. I also make enough when meal prepping to feed my entire family. Here are the containers I purchased: https://amzn.to/2KE97m5
Essential #4: Keto Cookbooks
You need recipes to help keep you on track with the keto diet. This helps provide variety and you are more likely to stick to the diet. These recipes show you the macros and make it easy for you. Here are 2 that I recommend:
Okay, this isn't essential, but it helped me so much! It is hard to find keto approved snacks. This monthly subscription box makes it easy. The box is $38 a month with free shipping. You can use my code: SARAKETO for discount. I will provide the link for it and two YouTube unboxing videos that I uploaded. I love this box and highly recommend it.

I have been asked a lot about how to grow color treated hair. If you have your hair bleached, you know it can break easily. This makes it so hard to grow out your hair. I did a video on this several years ago but I wanted to update with new products I'm using. I will post the YouTube video down below. It is an oldie but a goodie. Now, let's start with the tips:
Tip #1: Take a vitamin created for hair growth. These vitamins will usually hair Biotin, Collagen, and other vitamins that promote growth. I prefer gummies because I hate taking pills. The first ones are called SugarBearHair Hair Vitamins Vegetarian Gummies. These task great and they work from promoting hair growth. Here is the link for those:https://amzn.to/2Iuah1z
Tip #2: Sleep with a silk or satin case. This helps prevent breakage while sleeping. Here is one that I use: https://amzn.to/2N5uNsP This comes in different colors, it is cheap, and Amazon offers free shipping!
Tip #3: Use satin or silk hair scrunchies to pull your hair back. These are softer and prevent breakage. I usually wear me hair up at night with my scrunchie to keep it out of my face. I put it in a loose bun on my head. Also, wearing your hair up everyday does promote breakage to your hair. Especially, when you use hair elastics. Try to limit the amount of time you use it. Here is a hair scrunchie that I recommend: https://amzn.to/2Kaz6pb The reasons I recommend this one is it comes in different sizes depending on the thickness of your hair. Also, it is made in the USA.
Tip #4: Last but not least, limit the amount of heating tools you use on your hair. I try to only wash my hair 2-3 times per week. In between washes I use dry shampoo. Heating tools break off your hiar. Especially, if they are used on a daily basis. I found that flat irons were the worst on my hair. If you use one, make sure it has heat settings for the temperature. Also, make sure to always use a heat protectant. I'm linking my favorite shampoo, conditioner, flat iron, and heat protectant for color treated hair. These can be used on any types of hair though.
* Favorite heat protectant: https://amzn.to/2KquYk4 I love the Redken One United Multi Benefit Hair Treatment. It has a detangler, heat protectant, and 23 other benefits for your hair.
* Here is a great flat iron. The temperature can be set to whatever you want. Try to use the lowest setting at all times. I like this one because the temp is adjustable and it has automatic shut off. No one wants to burn the house down! https://amzn.to/2N4wya2
If you want long hair, but you don't want to wait, you can try clip in hair extensions. My Sweet Extensions store is going out of business and all my extensions are marked under wholesale pricing. These are real human hair and they are great quality. Plus, I'm offering FREE SHIPPING! Check out my store: http://www.sweetextensions.com
