MY REVIEW:

My daughter BB was ecstatic to try these products on her hair.  Her hair tends to dry out easily, and she's been looking for a product that would keep her beautiful curls hydrated and bouncy.  

First, she used the Coconut & Shea Shampoo Bar.

This bar smells heavenly.  The mixture of Coconut and Shea is delightful and leaves the hair smelling great!!

She washed her hair with the bar, making sure to really get into those curls and cleanse her scalp...

Vigorously cleansing that hair! :) 

Step one: Completed

Her curls are already poppin'!

Once completed with this step, She used the Curl Enhancing Custard:

The consistency of this is not tacky, but very creamy. The mixture of argon, grape seed and olive oils is a pleasure to the senses!! It awakens you!!

She then applied the Curl Moisture Cream:

This creams smells heavenly as well. I'm a HUGE lavender fan, and the smell of lavender truly engulfed me with this product. It's not heavy, but it's just enough to make you want to run through a field of it, smiling and happy! :) -- 

Finally, she used the Curl Hydration Spray:

This spray is light, not oily, and the vitamin E in this lovely mist brings about a beautiful shine.

The final product:

Do you all see that shine?? My goodness!! She was able to run her fingers through her hair w/out an issue as well.  Not gunky... Not heavy... Very light and amazing.

Yes.. She's happy! :) AND check that shine!!! :) 

On a scale from one to five Choca's... Five being the best, we give this product:

FIVE CHOCA'S!!

This product does with it says it will do!! The name of the products says it all!! They are the truth!!

Choca's Re-Twisted...

Hey all!!

So tonight, I retwisted Choca's hair... She's going to be in the Christmas program at our church, so I wanted to make sure her hair was on point and FRESH!!! Although it looked good already, there is something about being 'FRONT AND CENTER' that made me re-do those delicious things...

Products Used:

-- Mane 'n Tail Detanger

-- Blue Magic Organics Indian Hemp Herbal Hair & Scalp Conditioner

-- Water

-- Red, Black, Green Beads

-- ONE Rubber Band (to secure the beads)

With my fingers, I untwisted the twists (section by section) that were already there... I sprayed water and detangler on them FIRST before undoing them.  I rubbed that through each section, and THEN took them out.  After they were free, I put the Blue Magic on her hair, and twisted it again... I then put ONE box braid on the right side of her head and beaded it (her signature) -- Easy Peasy!!

Pics:

LENGTH CHECK!!! :) 

This took about TWO HOURS from beginning to end to complete!! She's good for another 6-8 weeks too!!!

She loves it... (although she was NOT trying to get her hair done tonight)... And I adore it!! :)

MY REVIEW

First, I want to say... WOW!!!! The Leading Lady Organic Nursing Cami is amazing.  My goodness... Because I'm more 'girthy'... I was concerned that it wouldn't fit properly... However, these camis are true to size.  It fit amazingly, and was very easy to TRANSFORM for me to breastfeed my little one.  It's also VERY cute, and could be worn under a dress, jacket, etc... for easy accessibility.  

On a scale of one to five Choca's (five being the best), I give this product:

Product Review: Pambra's Bra Liners

Hey all, in honor of this TERRIBLE heat:

*~*IT'S REVIEW TIME!!!*~*

*~*PAMBRA'S BRA LINERS*~*

Original Style Bra Liner

The Original Style is where it all began years ago (1990).

FACEBOOK | WEBSITE

I was given the amazing opportunity to try this amazing product from Pam over at Pambra's. I want to say THANK YOU for the opportunity!

INFO ON THIS PRODUCT FROM THE WEBSITE:

A soft cotton liner worn in your bra, Pambra’s absorbs perspiration under and between the breasts. Pambra’s also adds comfort to that cute little under wire bra that isn’t always so comfortable.

So, toss out the powders, rags and mini pads so many have resorted to. It is our unique blend of fabric and cotton that absorbs moisture and keeps it away from the skin. Doctor tested and approved, Pambra’s virtually eliminates the threat of fungus, and prevents heat rash from developing.

Pambra’s have no pins, hooks, or tapes; the liners have been proven to stay in place with a properly fitted bra. (A properly fitted bra has no more than two fingers space to pull away from the body.)

Pambra’s are sold in packages of three, one color per package, and are machine washable and dryer safe.

Available in White, Nude, or Black.

Pambra’s Size	Bra Band Size	Pambra’s Length
Small	34-36	14”
Medium	36-38	18”
Large	38-40	26”
X-Large	42-46	30”
XX-Large	48-50	36”

Actual fit will depend on how far you want the liner to go across the rib cage.

MY REVIEW:

Let me first just say WOW!! This bra liner works WONDERS, folks!! For all you Mommies out there that are top heavy AND that breastfeed, this product is an amazing way to stay dry underneath your breasts.  It makes you feel much more comfortable as well!!! 

When I wore mine, I was amazed at how it felt.  I was expecting to feel as if I had too much fabric involved in that area... but it was completely the opposite.  It was VERY comfortable and fit perfectly! I wore it for 16 hours... in 100 degree heat... with NO issues!!! :) 

I highly recommend this product to ALL women who may have the same issues I have being top heavy.

On a scale of 1 to 5 Choca's (with 5 being the best), I give this product:

I have absolutely NO qualms with this product.  It does as it states it will do.  It's a perfect product!! Truly!

Please go to their WEBSITE, and check out their bra liners, along with all of the other products that they offer.  Also, don't forget to 'like' them on FACEBOOK, and let them know that I sent you!! :) 

I hope you all enjoyed this review!! I'm truly excited to share this product with you all.  You will NOT be disappointed with it!!
