If you see white stuff coming out of your salmon after you have cooked it , It is totally normal. It's a protein that is pushed out of the muscles of the salmon and is edible.

This brand is an awesome organic brand . If you have dyed hair and don’t want to strip the color this brand is good. This Lemon Highlights product though is supposed to make your hair a bit blonder without the damage. First off it really does smell fantastic. I was excited to use this because my hair was finally the lightest its ever been but I wanted to go blonder. This shampoo does not lather. It literally feels like you are putting yogurt on your head so it doesn’t feel like you are washing your hair. The conditioner is a bit better though. I would suggest you keep it in your hair for at least 7 mins. This product is actually kind of drying so after you rinse out the product I recommend putting hair oil of your choice. I got this from Walmart. Rate : 6/10 , do recommend, mainly to people with healthy, not dry hair.

This vegetarian burger did not really like me and the feeling is mutual. I've been a pescatarian since November 2015 and  I hadn't had a burger since I stopped eating meat. I hadn't even had a veggie burger before. I picked these up at CVS and thought I was going to like them because I really love veggies . The texture wasnt for me and instructions on how to prepare them on the stove top was missing (you literally have to go on their website to find it , its the preferred method ) . The patty really could use more seasoning. 

Rate :5/10 , do not recommend.

These buffalo wings are so good!! Before I was a pescatarian , I didn't really like eating chicken wings but I loved eating them if they were boneless. Ever since I gave up chicken I wanted to find a great chicken wing alternative and I had found it. These are not really spicy and go great with blue cheese dip and a bit more buffalo sauce if you'd like to make them hotter. I personally like them crispy so I kept them in the oven longer at a higher temperature.

Coconut oil can be used for a lot of things concerning beauty , but my favorite thing to do is coat my hair in the oil and let it sit there for a really long time and wash it out whenever I feel the need to and I think its also a main reason why my hair keeps from getting damaged badly. I got this at Walmart for about $6 something and it has lasted me a long time. You’d find this in the aisle that has all the cooking oil and its much cheaper than the other coconut oils there.

This product is supposed to mimic ground beef in a sort of way. Before I heated them up , I though they looked a bit weird but I told myself “wait until you cook it to see how it taste”. I found that these burned quite easily but maybe that was my bad. I did not care for these really. I didnt like the texture of the crumbles . But I managed to make a wrap out of this with cheddar cheese and it tasted acceptable enough. This isnt my favorite product by them.

 These are vegetarian breakfast sausage links by MorningStar Farms. I actually first tried these a couple of years ago when I wasn’t a pescatarian and hadn't even considered vegetarianism. They aren’t really greasy at all and taste great actually. After I had one link I was in love and wanted to keep eating them. I think they were seasoned properly and weren't really bland. I got these at Walmart.

I'm usually a dye hard manic panic fan. But I wanted to dye my hair pink for some reason. This color was called Cotton Candy Pink. My hair didn't take it as well as some other places did and it was the shortest I had a haircolor because I washed it out. I wasn't really happy with it.

If you have bleached hair and unnaturally colored hair like it is necessary to use a good shampoo and conditioner that doesn't strip the hair. This shampoo and conditioner makes your hair feel soft and less damaged literally the first use. Just make sure you let is sit there for 5 mins at least.

This CVS Brand is a great facial wash. Its oil free, it's great for acne prone skin and treats acne. This is their version of Neutrogenas Oil Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser. CVS Brand runs for $7.29 vs. Neutrogena for $8.49 , at CVS Stores. It smells so good and I actually mixed it with another CVS product.

I also got these at Sally's beauty. 30 caps for $3.99 ($3.49 with your Sally's card.). Not only are they good to use while you dye your hair or bleach it , but I mainly use them in the shower as shower caps. It's a pretty big cap so you get extra coverage. I didn't worry about wetting my hair. I suggest you buy these instead of "shower caps" . It saves a ton of money too.

I got this at Sally's. I used this creme developer with the L'oreal High Performance Quick Blue Powdered bleach. It runs for $4.49 for 16fl oz. But with a Sally's Beauty Club Card I got it for $3.79. I honestly think this is the reason why my hair wasn't fried badly after bleaching my hair 4 times in a short time span. Rate : 8⭐/10⭐

I got this bleach (hair lightener) from Sally's Beauty . It runs for $24.99 for 16oz of the powdered bleach. But with a Sally's Beauty Club Card I got it for only $19.99. I actually really like this bleach. It didn't really damage my hair. The little damage that I did have was due to my own fault. I bleached my hair 4 times within a short period of time. I have very dark brown hair naturally. Before I bleached it my hair was previously dyed black with a box dye (please don't use them) and it faded to a dark brown, so I put semi permanent red and green. The red stuck in my hair for such a long time that's why I had to bleach so many times. Next time I would use a color remover before I bleach my hair to strip color to make it easier. Rate 8⭐/10⭐

This product is by Shea Moisture. It's a leave in conditioner that has Black Castor Oil , Peppermint oil , Shea Butter and Keratin . This product is supposed to strengthen your hair , as well as help it grow and restore it. When I first started using it I instantly fell in love with it. I had curly damaged hair. This product made my hair feel less damaged in just a few uses. This product glides through your hair, making it feel luscious. You don't even need to use a lot of the product because it distributes well, it has a great consistency. It's a great detangler. I used it after I detangled my hair and put my hair in braids before I went to bed to make my curls look more wavy. Not to mention it also smells really good! I got this at my local Walmart for $10.98 for 16fl oz. It's worth it and I totally recommend it. Rate :10⭐/10⭐

Do you know what gelatin is? Gelatin is a protein that is obtained by boiling animal by products such as bones , skin ,tendons etc with water. Collagen is taken from it. Gelatin has no flavor. It has no color. You can find gelatin in gummy candy , marshmallows , some dips and yogurts , jello , etc. It is in fact NOT VEGAN. Vegetarians seem to consume gelatin though because it's an animal by-product and isn't animal flesh.
