Your scalp called… she wants the potion. 🌿✨

This is my homemade rosemary water for hair growth: a simple, natural hair care recipe I’ve been loving for scalp support, shedding, and giving those sleepy little follicles a gentle wake-up call.

Here’s the recipe:

🌿 Add 2–3 fresh rosemary sprigs or 2 tbsp dried rosemary to 2 cups filtered water
🌿 Boil, remove from heat, cover, and steep for 10–15 minutes
🌿 Let it cool completely, then strain
🌿 Pour into a clean glass bottle
🌿 Store in the fridge and use within 7–10 days

I like to use a dropper to put it directly onto my scalp, especially around the temples, hairline, and crown, then massage it in before bed. Think of it like watering your hair garden… but make it beauty witchy. 🧙‍♀️🌱

Optional boosters: 1–2 drops of rosemary essential oil or 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, but keep it gentle and patch test first, especially if your scalp is sensitive.

And of course, hair growth is not just about what you put on your scalp... nutrition, stress, hormones, age, genetics, protein, iron, omega-3s, B vitamins, and overall health all matter too.

Part 2 of the shiitake bacon video 🍄‍🟫🥓 I piled it onto lentil lettuce wraps for a healthy lunch with a crunch. And honestly, use whatever you’ve got in your wraps... your fav plant protein all work here... chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, seitan, etc!

And don’t forget to watch my previous video to see how I made the vegan bacon :)

Basically: watermelon met a creamsicle, got a glow-up, and became the star of summer. 😍🍉✨

These creamy watermelon pops are the cutest summer treat: fresh watermelon blended with vanilla coconut yogurt, poured back into a watermelon “pie,” sprinkled with chocolate chip “seeds,” frozen, and sliced into the most refreshing little wedges.

And yes… that’s my veginner theme song playing in the background. 🎶🌱

I went on a mission to find Oshi’s plant-based salmon at Orchard Grocer here in New York City (one of my favorite fully vegan grocery stores!)… but they were totally SOLD OUT. 😭

Luckily, I spotted Oshi at the Plant-Based World Expo and finally got my hands on it—so of course I had to make a cozy Maple Miso Oshi Bowl the moment I got home. 🍱✨

👀 If you’ve never heard of Oshi:
They’re creating realistic “salmon” using soy protein + omega-3s from algae (the same omegas fish get from eating algae in the first place). SO smart. It looks and flakes like salmon—but no fish, no mercury, no microplastics, and totally vegan. If you’re plant-based (or just trying it), this is SUCH a fun alternative.

⸻

🍱 MAPLE MISO OSHI BOWL (Veginner recipe👇)

➤ Glaze:
1.5 tbsp miso
1 tbsp maple syrup
1–2 tsp coconut aminos
½ tsp rice vinegar

➤ Cook Oshi the official way:
• Start in a cold pan
• Medium heat, covered, 3 mins
• Flip + cook 1.5 mins
• Add a little oil + sear
• Brush glaze + caramelize

➤ Plate with:
quinoa or rice • steamed veggies • lemon squeeze 💛

⸻

🎥 Why I’m obsessed

✔ vegan
✔ high protein
✔ has omega-3s from algae
✔ zero fish harmed
✔ ready in 10 minutes

This is definitely going into my weekly dinner rotation!

Let me know if you want more easy vegan recipes 😍
Love, Cheryl
