No Grill Needed...Tomato, Watermelon, and Basil Skewers

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup sugar

• 32 small basil leaves (or torn larger leaves)
• 16 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt
• Special equipment: 16 (6-inch) skewers

Combine the balsamic vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool.

Starting with the watermelon squares, push the watermelon to the very tip of the skewer. Then skewer a basil leaf, then a tomato half. Continue with another watermelon, basil leaf, and tomato half.

Mo Says...It may be time to LEAVE Chemicals ALONE

Irreconcilable Differences

Clients who have successfully cherished using hair chemicals are puzzled as to where the problems began, but notice their relationship has been in major turmoil for a while. Chalk it up to Irreconcilable Differences and here are 3 signs that you may have to leave the chemicals alone.


1. Hair loss or unexplainable thinning from the root. The perimeter or edges, especially the temples, are usually the first sign of an issue mostly at the root area. Ladies, if you are in your thirties or better you know what I am talking about. If you are young and your breast still stand up on their own…. Just keep living. My motto has been almost everything in moderation. Well…….. over 10 years of chemical use exceeds moderation.

2. The loss of luster and shine. Healthy hair has a natural luster so if you have noticed the loss of your hair's natural glow and the only way to replenish it, is with color, you may need to re-evaluate the use of chemicals.

3. If you are unable to stabilize a sensitive scalp, chances are the chemicals you are using are the main culprit.

Separation is never easy but sometimes imperative to a healthy head of hair, so consider your current state, discuss the transition with your hair care provider and make the best choice for you. Texture is beautiful, is it time for you to embrace yours?
