DON'T ASK ME WHAT MY CHILD IS MIXED WITH

Geez I hate that! So healthy hair may only belong to mixed chicks and blended cuties (puns intended)? NO it belongs to BROWN BABIES TOO!

& the Cornrow Saga continues

These cornrows lasted a day longer than our usual styles. A whopping 2 whole days!!! I'm still too paranoid to put anything on her head while she sleeps. All I do for protection of her hair, is place her head on top of a satin wrap and needless to say, that is not enough.

Day 1:
I should have taken a picture of the back as well but you can get the basic idea. She had 6 cornrows going up into each ponytail (3 cornrows to each).

Day 2:




The front looked a little worn but the back was a MESS! It was probably a mess from her lying down. Anyway, I immediately removed the six cornrows and replaced them with these two gigantic ones instead. If she were still it would have been better executed. Still adorable though :-)

Tasia's Goods

ouSo, it's no secret that my cousin is a large reason for my starting this blog, aside from Baby B of course. Her passion for hair and skin sparked my interest and eventually birthed a product junky within me. A friend of mine refers to her house as "Tasia's Palace of Goodness." I never leave empty handed. I always leave toting a bag of heaven from Lush, divine hair and skin products, or some organic oil/butter. She is now creating her very own line of products. (ABOUT TIME!)

She created a moisturizer especially for Baby B called Blaire's Butter of course. (It's only right.) It is a very light moisturizer that probably works best on 3c/4a tresses. I mainly used it to moisturize before a protective style. I used this butter in both of my cornrow posts that precede this post. It also works well for twist outs and for down & outs I use it combined with a teeny tiny tad of Shea Moisture.
The camera really doesn't do a good job of capturing the color. :'( It's a darker tan, almost a brownish. I blame the flash. A new cam is definitely on my xmas list. You can see how light it is.


I removed Blaire's tiny tot twists from the previous night, added a tad of Tasia's Blaire Butter and Voila! Curly cuteness! Her hair is SUPER soft too!







On to the skin:

I am absolutely ADDICTED to her coffee scrub! I won't lie; initially, I was a little skeptical as I was rubbing it on my body in the shower. I said to myself "What has this girl gotten me into?" But HONEY when I washed it off... SWEET BABY JESUS! My skin felt like Baby B's! I call it greatness!
