Did you know? Not only do oats reduce itching and inflammation in skin, oats are rich in antioxidants and effectively absorb oils that can build up on the scalp. And chia seeds? Chia seeds are high in phosphorous, and phosphorous encourages hair growth. They too are filled with antioxidants and omega 3 fatty acids. Now let's talk about honey, and make the message stick. Honey is rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, probiotics, amino acids, and enzymes. It also has natural antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. So here's a thought: the next time you wake yourself up to begin savoring your weekend with that pot of coffee, add to it a beauty ritual. Wake up your hair and skin by feeding it a beauty breakfast of oats, chia seeds and honey--- and then make yourself a bowl of the same. -Tamara Rappa
