We Are Onyx ONYXBOX September, 2017 Subscription Box Unboxing

I have been slow to dip my toe into the subscription box game. I recently decided to give the Onyx Box a try. What I saw that drew me in was that the We Are Onyx box is "Curated with OUR Melanin in mind!" So this is my unboxing of the September OnyxBox. 

Upon opening the box, I was greeted with this beautiful artwork celebrating a rainbow of melanin. 

Happy World Coconut Day

With healthy eating & drinking, natural hair care, and natural skincare on the rise, coconuts have been experiencing a major rebirth over the past few years. I remember 4-5 years ago, when I first tried to transition to natural, outside of natural health food stores, the only coconut oils I could find in the stores were highly processed, but now there are entire sections of natural, unrefined, cold-pressed, "virgin"coconut oil in most drugstores and mass retailers. In addition, coconut water, coconut milk, coconut cream, and coconut flakes abound. 

Many manufacturers are also incorporating coconut into many of their product lines. I was recently sent some of the products from the Nubian Heritage Coconut & Papaya line.
