Jesse I have to call you for more hair tips. You do have some of the healthiest hair I’ve seen.
i know ! black is the new green !
Lol how so?
I think Marie means how the whole society has been on this “green” kick… Natural, healthy, farm to plate foods which favour more geans, kale, spinanch etc… And now their is all these black super foods that are being discovered that are potentially just as healthy or more healthy for you….
That is very true. I thought that’s Marie was saying.
