Hey all,

So, for Easter, I decided to do a different type of style for Choca.  Now, you all know I LOVE twists on her, so I kept those... But, I decided to do some twists...with a twist!! :) I added some cornrows on one side... with a bit of a design.  I criss-crossed some of the braids for a really cute design!! It was cute, it was easy and it's GORGEOUS!!!

Products Used:

Trescorn Mixture w/Tea Tree Leave In Conditioner
Super Gro Hair & Scalp Conditioner

How cute is this!?!?!? It didn't take long to do... And, the braids will last a good 2-3 weeks! :) As you can see, she LOVES it!! :) So, it's a win/win!! :)

So, I combed the internet and found some other bloggers who have done some really cute Criss Cross braided designs on their little ones...

Product Review: Butterfly Bakery

Pin It
Hey all,

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

FACEBOOK | WEBSITE
So, I was given the PLEASURE (truly) of reviewing some goodies from THE BUTTERFLY BAKERY!

From The Website:

Butterfly Bakery is located in the Metro New York Area in Northern New Jersey.  Our factory is outfitted with state-of-the-art baking equipment and a dedicated team of employees who lovingly produce our delicious baked-from-scratch, SUGAR FREE and NO SUGAR ADDED baked goods.

We use only the finest ingredients and the freshest fruit nectars to sweeten and enhance the flavors of every product we bake for a more intense taste experience.  Everything from our muffins to our cookies to our cakes are the highest quality possible.  The kind of quality you can taste.  And of course, we wouldn't think of using preservatives. 

We're pretty proud of our SUGAR FREE and NO SUGAR ADDED line of products because they're lower in calories, carbohydrates and fat, but high in extraordinary taste and texture.   But the most wonderful thing is that you'll never know they're SUGAR FREE and NO SUGAR ADDED! In fact, we guarantee our quality...and your satisfaction.

My Review:

The products that I was given to try were:



Okay... When I tell you that these were the most DELICIOUS goodies I've ever had, I am NOT exaggerating!! The sweetness factor of both of these items was truly on the money.  The Double Chocolate Chip Muffins were EXTREMELY moist and thick and so very tasty!! My gosh... And the cookies?!?!? The Chocolate Chip Cookies were to die for!!! It's hard to explain how AMAZINGLY delightful these goodies were.  Also, they were SHIPPED to me through the mail, and didn't lose ANY of their taste or moistness!! Truly a great find!

I can't say ANYTHING negative about these amazing products, with the exception of, "I WISH THERE WAS MORE!!!" 
They are truly fantastic!

AND, to show how even MORE amazing this company is, they have provided me with a coupon to share with you all.  Do you Amazon?? If you do, this coupon will give you a discount on buying such deliciousness!! Don't hesitate to use it, folks!!

YUMMERS!!!


Also, for my SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA folks, these wonderful products can be found in Albertson's Grocery Store!!

Our Review:
Now, I'm one of those folks who ALWAYS wore a grocery bag of some sort on my head when deep conditioning my hair or giving myself hot oil treatments.  The regular shower caps (the thin plastic ones) always tore on my head and were not big enough to encompass all of the hair that I had (whether it be my own or extensions).  So, when I got these shower caps, I was AMAZED.  



They are a very THICK  plastic that is VERY heavy duty and can hold lots of hair/product inside.  They are tight enough around our heads to keep whatever products we have on our heads inside, but not too tight where it cuts off our circulation.  They are BIG on our heads as well... 


They are REUSABLE as well!!! 
I HIGHLY recommend these shower caps, folks!!! You will NOT be disappointed.  They are not uncomfortable either.  I was totally able to take care of business around my home for the three hours I DC'd my hair in this cap... No issues!!
