Friday Flair: -- Choca: Retwisted!! :)

Hey all!!

So, Choca has been rocking the same twists for about a month now... AND... They still looked nice and right:

But, I wanted to change it up a bit... They had NOT loc'd up on me (yaaay)!! I did want her to have some thicker ones though... Just for a change... I LOVE LOVE LOVE Choca in twists of all types, so to go back thicker was exciting to me!!! (Didn't take long to do either).

I used:

Proclaim Tea Tree Leave In Conditioner

African Pride Dream Kids Olive Miracle Detangling Moisturizing Conditioner

my 'special' lanolin mixture (for the cold weather... her scalp tends to dry out)

Little Penguins Organic Mango Illipe Pom

Little Penguins Fresh Cream 

So, I did her hair in sections.  Since I was going to do them bigger, I grabbed sections of the smaller twists and re-did them in that fashion.

With each section, I:
- sprayed it down with the Proclaim Tea Tree Leave In Conditioner
- put about a nickle sized amount of the Dream Kids on her hair and massaged it in.
- undid the smaller twists
- put on my special lanolin mixture (about a pea sized amount on each 'new twist' section)
- put on the Little Penguins Organic Mango Illipe Pom (about a 1/2 pea sized amount on each 'new twist' section)

After all of her thicker twists were in, I used the Little Penguins Fresh Cream to coat her hair.

The Results:

Random Length Check!!! Look at that!!! WOOT WOOT!

I then styled it a bit, because her hair constantly gets in her eyes now. With the products I used to achieve this style, there is a LOT of shrinkage, but it STILL falls in her eyes. So, I pulled it back with some clips:

How cute are these thick twists!?!?!? I'm loving them, and so is SHE!! Sooooooo... It's a win/win!!

The entire style took about 1 1/2 hours to do!

Friday Flair... ON THE AVENUE!!! -- Hair, Fashion & Rest!!

Hey all...

So today, I decided that I would show my girls' hairstyles of the day and then Choca's PERSONALLY PICKED outfit(s) of the day as well... OF course the outfits are vintage.... She also wanted to show off her new boots! :)

Soooooo... hairstyles?!?!

CC has truly embraced her shrinkage (which I love!!!), and she's also learned how to do her twists VERY well! She's not a big fan of early morning pictures... But, I think she's beautiful just the same!!!

BB wanted to have her signature 'rose' on the side and a side ponytail... I obliged:

Choca wanted her hair to mimic CC's:

Then... We took the older babies to school... We then had the mini photo op w/Choca!!

She's rockin' a really cute pink tank and some jeans... ($2.99 for the entire outfit)... We then put her hair up into two ponytails and paired her new boots with some cute leg warmers. She snatched up her shades and Spongebob gloves and BAM:

SWITCH!!! She wanted her boots OFF (LOL @ 2 year olds), and her pants changed... So, she got herself some white pants ($.99) and rocked it out... OH... And she didn't want ponytails anymore... LOL

HAHAHA!! She's so cute!! Then... I guess she was done...

...because she zonked out on me!! LOL...

I hope you enjoyed this post... I truly enjoyed making it for you all! :) <3

Quick Styles With BB: Down With The Sides Pulled Back/Two Pony-Twists

Hey all,

So... On this edition of Quick Styles With BB, we decided to braid both of her sides into box braids (one on each side), part her hair down the center,  get her curls all nice and poppin' and work it out...

Products Used:

Water

Proclaim Sapphire Bergamot Conditioning Hairdress

Now, before she went to school, I put her hair in two pony-twists in the back to keep her hair from being EXTRA tangled when she came home.  I put a pretty flower to top it off:

Time it took to do this style: (Down) 10 minutes, (Twisted) 12 minutes

Quick and cute!! :)

Repurposed Hairstyle For BB!!! *I KNEW IT*

Hey all,

So.... I did a post on BB's hair  (BB's Protective Style for Week!?!?)...

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell...

It didn't really pan out.  She came home and her bun was NOT the business...

Yes... We Peaced Out that style... Time to Repurpose!!!

I decided to give her a side cornrow.  Something quick until I can get to twisting her hair this weekend.

How long did it take to do this style? 5 minutes!!!

First, I sprayed her hair down with water... Just water!

I took out the box braids on the right side of her head, cornrowed the loose hair on the cornrowed/flat twisted goodness, and braided that braid into the side cornrow.

Simple and neat:

Now, I KNOW this style won't last all week, but it'll be SOOOOO easy to redo!! :)

And... She absolutely LOVES it!! Another Win/Win! :)

Polka-Dot Prettiness!! Happy Monday! :) *PINK OVERDOSE*

Hey all!

So, today Choca, BB and I are under the weather.   We have major colds going on!! We are sitting up in a house filled with the smell of lemon, ginger, VapoRub and cayenne pepper... and it smells so good!! For my prayer warriors, send those prayers up! :)

Anyway, EVEN though we don't feel well, Choca gave me the camera!! If you all didn't know, taking pictures is a HUGE pastime of mine and Choca TRULY enjoys having her picture taken.

So, she brought me a cute polka dot dress (that we found at WalMart on clearance for $3.00).  I paired it with a cute pink headband and flower!!!

Then, I got to taking pictures!!!

Even with them being under the weather, they manage to be as beautiful as can be!!!

I hope this brightens your Monday, folks!!! I wanted to put something up, even though I'm feeling out of it! :)

Much love all!!
