If you’ve been following along with me for a while, you know that I live a genuinely healthy lifestyle. I love to keep active each day and prepare healthy and nutritious meals in the kitchen. I also try to make good choices when I’m eating meals out and about as well. I put a lot of time and effort into making sure the products I put INTO my body are healthy and valuable. The same goes for what I am putting ON my body too!

I first started using Hair Food products a couple years ago. I was immediately drawn to the natural ingredients (can you say adios to sulfates, dyes, mineral oils and parabens!) that Hair Food uses to formulate their products. I recently began using the Manuka Honey & Apricot Moisturizing Collection and I am already a fast fan!

Manuka Honey & Apricot Collection

This shampoo and conditioner line is perfect for moisture-deprived hair! Hello, me! I am constantly tackling dry hair and trying to help it feel more hydrated and nourished. This line of shampoo and conditioner is infused with sweet manuka honey and helps to soften and smooth hair. It leaves your hair feeling vibrant and happy! Plus, the apricot smell is just SO dreamy.

Simply comb it through damp hair and blow dry for a silky, smooth finish! When combined with the Manuka Honey & Apricot Collection, you can say peace out to those dry locks!

Honey & Apricot Smoothie Bowl – Taking the ingredients to the kitchen!

These new Hair Food products are so delectably delicious in my hair, that I HAD to give these ingredients a try in the kitchen! Who wouldn’t want to add some MORE honey and apricot to their daily lives, right?!

One thing that Brad and I have recently started enjoying (hello, covid at home!) are smoothies and smoothie bowls. We love to make a healthy and nutritious snack that we can feel good about eating. Plus, the prettier they are, the better! We will definitely continue to make smoothies and bowls and cannot wait to make them with our children one day. 🙂 I think I will definitely be passing along my love for this bowl (and my love of Hair Food products) for years to come!

I found this smoothie bowl recipe and had to give it a try because it was so pretty! **Apricots are currently off-season so I subbed out whole apricots for an apricot jam**

Apricot & Honey Smoothie Bowl Recipe

Final Thoughts

It’s safe to say that I am a new fan of all things manuka honey and apricots! From how they make my hair feel soft and hydrated in the shower, to balancing out my diet and helping me to feel full and nourished in the kitchen, I am a big fan!
