I was given the amazing opportunity to review <a href="http://www.snapaholics.com/">Snapaholics</a>! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have such a wide selection of hair accessories, it was hard to chose which item to review. But we decided to review the wooden beads, rat tail comb, shell beads, and satin pillowcase!</div>

We loved the wooden beads, really cute to rock and since they are neutral colored they go with everything! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These shells added such a nice island-earthy flair to our hairstyle!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hard to use with the hair beader, but if you slide it in through the gap, the hair will go in perfectly!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, you have to keep the hairstyle fresh by using either a sleeping cap, or a satin pillowcase.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Really helps to reduce the frizzies! </div>

Hello darlings! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a very busy summer. Roadtrip, visiting family out of town, swimming lessons, gymnastics, taekwondo, boxing, concerts, and more. So as you can imagine, it was difficult to find time to blog like I used too. Now, that the school year has started (she is in 3rd grade now.) We will be back to our regular posting on here. But I made sure to keep everyone updated on Lady N's hair journey over on our facebook fan page here: https://www.facebook.com/KandyLandKurls </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I posted this photo earlier this summer, and a few people wanted a tutorial. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here we go! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ready for me to reveal the magic on how to do this! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well its VERY simple. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No need for a step by step tutorial. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You simply braid, then stop at your desired spot where you would like the bead to be. Then either using a beading wand or your fingers. Slide the bead onto the hair. Then push it up a bit, then continue braiding down the hair shaft. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Easy Peasy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The beads help create this really cute levitating look. </div>

<b>Review:</b> Where have you been all my LIFE! Do you know how much of a pain in the tush it is to put beads on the hair? Without it falling all over the floor, or the worry of a baby swallow beads, and you can't forget the rubberband ripping your ends off. Well, <a href="http://www.thebeadbarrette.com/">The Bead Barrette</a> has come to the rescue!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TX2DD0W_CjQ/UcOz6m6h56I/AAAAAAAAC-M/5wVzadXE9b0/s1600/014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TX2DD0W_CjQ/UcOz6m6h56I/AAAAAAAAC-M/5wVzadXE9b0/s640/014.JPG" width="372" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's so simple to use, simply open the bead barrette with the little stick (comes in the pack) and it pops open. Inside of the bead barrette is little teeth, which helps to grasp the hair. Position the barrette to the section you wish to attach it to. Then you simply clamp shut, it's the very same process to attach a regular barrette. The best part, is you can attach it to loose hair. Not only twisted or braided hair, but all types, which is totally sweet! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see in the photo above, I attached it to the middle of N's braids to not put stress on her ends, and they held perfectly in place all day. The<a href="http://www.thebeadbarrette.com/"> Bead Barrette</a> comes in Black, White, Clear, and Pink, and can be found in Walmart. I definitely recommend the bead barrette, it saves so much time and hassle. </div>

<b>Review: </b>Since the last day of school, N's hair has been neglected (sad face, I know, bad mommy!) But it wasn't very dirty, so I figured this is the perfect time to use the moisturizing shampoo. I didn't want to strip her hair, due to her going swimming soon, so a moisturizing shampoo was the perfect fit to try. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I proceeded to wash N's hair with the <a href="http://goinnatural.com/home.html">Coconut Elixir Moisturizing shampoo</a>. First thing I noticed off the bat was the scent, it smells delicious! I love the smell of coconuts, the scent is strong, so for those who are sensitive, you have been warned. I applied a generous amount, and immediately it created suds!! After trying so many different moisturizing shampoos. It's disappointing that many don't create a really good lather. I love suds and lather, makes me feel like the hair is clean (not technically true.) But a good lather is mostly found in sulfate shampoo, so to have it in a moisturizing shampoo is awesome!! After rinsing her hair felt clean. Not all stripped, which is exactly what I wanted, and exactly what this product claims to do. I will definitely use this again, and the price is not bad at all for $10.00. </div>

<b>Review:</b> After shampooing, I applied the coconut Co-wash to her hair in sections. The scent is the same as the shampoo. The consistency was liquidy, not too thick, but not like water either. Inbetween-ish. Hope that doesn't confuse ya lol. I was weary of the petroleum in it, but I gave it a try anyways. Now I followed the directions on the jar, and left it in her hair for approx 4 minutes, then rinse. It was not thick enough to detangle with for N's hair. Perhaps if her hair was shorter, or even finer, I could detangle better. But I managed to gently finger detangle her hair. As the time passed, her hair began to dry, so I couldn't finish finger detangling without having to use a ton of it, so I just rinsed it out. I don't really co-wash her hair, but this is definitely light, doesn't leave a residue, and easy to rinse out. That's why I think this is a pretty good co-wash. But it was not a good detangling co-wash conditioner for N's hair. But again, if you are looking for something that fits this description then give it a try. </div>

Funny Story: A boy in N's class who always compliments her (I think he has a crush...don't worry my bat is ready ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well anywho, he asked her "Hey! how'd did you get that bead way up there on your braids?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
N replied "I dont know?!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Smart cookie, leave him wondering. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well the answer to his question is quite simple. I slid the Qoileez on, like how you would a bead. It's not rocket science lol and it's such an adorable accessory. I give it 5 stars! </div>

We are back, with a new style! ..Mini Braids!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bBB9Wh2CvhE/UW4GpwidciI/AAAAAAAAC3s/qsbSKtT5yas/s1600/033.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bBB9Wh2CvhE/UW4GpwidciI/AAAAAAAAC3s/qsbSKtT5yas/s640/033.JPG" width="416" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you would of asked me years ago, "Kandy, would you ever put Lady N's hair in very small braids?" I would've said "NO WAY!" (aint nobody got time fo that) lol. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know how these styles are so time consuming, from putting them in, to the take down. BUT after our friend <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fournaturalgirls">Four Natural Girls </a>showcased our first set of box braids (which were alot bigger.) She kind of made me want to give box braids another try. But this time I wanted to make them smaller, in hopes of it lasting longer. The good news is, it has lasted almost 3 weeks, and still looks pretty good, with minimum frizz. (woohoo)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rwNPYPzjrP4/UW4F999iTYI/AAAAAAAAC3M/GyYykHZ1PGc/s1600/015.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rwNPYPzjrP4/UW4F999iTYI/AAAAAAAAC3M/GyYykHZ1PGc/s640/015.JPG" width="460" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this style, I prepared her hair a day earlier. I washed, deep conditioned, and then banded her hair for a day to stretch it a bit before styling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started her hair around 1:00 pm and didn't finish until almost 7 pm. -insert sad music- We had plenty of breaks, but this was still a pretty long process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GM59SY45lR8/UW4GZ6kMGBI/AAAAAAAAC3c/u1TPTBRbtFk/s1600/026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="text-align: start;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GM59SY45lR8/UW4GZ6kMGBI/AAAAAAAAC3c/u1TPTBRbtFk/s640/026.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used our *go-to* styling products, eco styler gel, mixed with <a href="http://beemineproducts.com/">bee mine curly butter</a> for hold. I applied this mix to each piece right before braiding. Then, when I reached the ends of her braid, I twirled the ends with my finger. Doing this created a tiny curl to lock the braid into place, and to prevent it from unraveling. I created small box-sized sections throughout her hair. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I can say we are happy to have mini box braids! They last longer for us verses mini twists, and they are a great protective style. Even though they take, what seems like forever to do, especially with her hair length. It was definitely worth it. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been awhile since we last did a roller set. Lady N had spring pictures at school, so this was the perfect opportunity to blow the dust off of our curlformers, and create a fabulous roller set! </div>

I washed N's hair the day before, and let her hair dry overnight in several braids. I removed each braid and re-moisturized it. Then sprayed a little water on a small piece. Added eco styler gel on it, and added our Curlformer. I continued this until I added all of the rollers to her hair. </div>

N slept in her curlformers overnight. In the morning, I removed one roller in the back of her hair. To our surprise, her hair was still wet and the curl fell. (wah-wah) So we only had 20 mins to get her out the door for school. I had to improvise so I quickly grabbed my blowdryer and began blowdrying the curlformers. We were done in 15 minutes, and I added a cute clip from our (secret santa, thanks dear) and she was out the door, and of course I snapped a few pictures. </div>

To maintain the roller set, I plan on placing her hair in a high very loose ponytail. Also place her satin cap over it, and spray it lightly with some Blended Beauty oil for shine. </div>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: garamond, 'new york', times, serif;">She loves it! She prefers her hair free of any style like braids and cornrows and I believe is because it takes less time!! after all she is almost four yrs old. She loves feel of her free and natural hair, twists out and braids out are also her favorites.</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1359855228774_3546"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; line-height: 115%;">The best advice I would like to share is that establishing a routine is very important for any curly babies. the sooner you get a routine established the better. Then I would also say, don't get discouraged if a style doesn't look right after your first try, try and try again, with time you will get better and you will. The important thing here is that you try and continue to try and have fun in the process. This is a great bonding experience so don't give up!!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Hello lovely readers! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">We are back with a SpotLight all the way from Brazil! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Isn't it amazing how we have readers all around the world! Today's SpotLight is originally written in Portuguese. Not sure if you all noticed, but take a look on the left side on our blog. There is a "translate" button, so please use this tool to translate. I tend to click on this button every now & then, and look at my site in other languages (my fave is yiddish kinda cool.. don't ask...lol) :) </span></div>

If you have been experiencing serious dryness this winter, you may benefit greatly from using this method of moisturizing your hair. Especially if you've found that no matter how many things you've tried, your hair is still feeling dry hours later. This method is called the LOC method. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
L.O.C method, what is that? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>L=Liquid.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>O= Oil.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>C=Cream.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's how it works. The liquid moisturizes your hair. The oil seals in the moisture, so that it won't escape. Then the cream works to locks in both the liquid and oil. The cream creates a barrier so that neither will escape your hair strands. The whole process is based on how you layer each key ingredient.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 1: </b>First use water or a water-based moisturizer (which means water is the <b>first</b> ingredient listed on the bottle.) Now apply the L (liquid) to your hair. (If you have thick hair try applying it in sections.) Products such as Giovanni Direct Leave-In, or even Bee Mine Juicy Spritz, will work perfectly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 2: </b>Next, apply the O (oil) make sure the oil is a natural oil such as (coconut, extra virgin olive, or shea butter.) Apply the oil directly on top of the liquid. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 3:</b> Finally apply the C (cream) on top of the liquid. Creams such as Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer, or even Shea Moisture Conditioning Curl Milk will work for as the cream. Just make sure the consistency of the moisturizer is thick and creamy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, if you like to wear your curls down, try adding gel or styling butter as your (cream.) As shown below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-thgs6ZEubhU/UQYBDoXvcxI/AAAAAAAACxc/bqWOiGJrEiA/s1600/loc+method.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-thgs6ZEubhU/UQYBDoXvcxI/AAAAAAAACxc/bqWOiGJrEiA/s640/loc+method.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the left there is (zero) products on her hair. On the right is after using the LOC method.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using the L.O.C method will stop you from having to reapply products daily to your hair. Therefore it helps to save $ in the long run. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>- Have you tried the LOC method, please share your thoughts below.</b></div>

It's a new year, and I'm going to experiment more with Lady N's hair. I started off by using a new way to deep condition her hair. If you read our hair routine (<a href="http://kandylandkurls.blogspot.com/p/ns-hair-care-routine.html">click here</a>) you will notice that her oil treatment, and deep conditioning treatment, are done on two different weeks. After hearing my friend Ki talk about mixing them together, a light bulb went off in my mind...It made much more sense to do both treatments together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I did.</div>
<span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z1cKGa06JBI/UPoQHHjM0TI/AAAAAAAACww/48hRLBDkqGk/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z1cKGa06JBI/UPoQHHjM0TI/AAAAAAAACww/48hRLBDkqGk/s640/002.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After shampooing, I used one of my favorite deep conditioners (Bee Mine "<a href="http://www.beemineproducts.com/bee-u-ti-ful-moisturizing-deep-conditioner-16-oz/">Bee*U*Ti*Ful</a> Deep conditioner) and mixed it with extra virgin olive oil. I used roughly one and 1/2 tablespoons of the deep conditioner, and <b>1</b> tablespoon of olive oil.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AGzjMijG9Zc/UPoQTsWnCsI/AAAAAAAACxA/nBX3X9oPHRQ/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="570" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AGzjMijG9Zc/UPoQTsWnCsI/AAAAAAAACxA/nBX3X9oPHRQ/s640/003.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I mixed it really well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kKqwswLurc4/UPoQPZX95SI/AAAAAAAACw4/Qu0yp27QoXk/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="534" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kKqwswLurc4/UPoQPZX95SI/AAAAAAAACw4/Qu0yp27QoXk/s640/004.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then applied this mix in sections throughout N's hair. I let this mix sit for approx 20 mins, and used our hooded dryer to help the mix penetrate deeper. Next, I began finger detangling her hair in sections. I used our spray bottle to re-wet hairs that were drying. I noticed right away that the oil helped to slide her curls apart, along with the deep conditioner. Detangling was a breeze! I really like this combo of deep conditioning, and oil treating the hair in one wash. These ingredients work very well together. Plus, with this weather, her hair needs more moisture. I will definitely do this more often this winter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
For week 2 of our Protective Style Challenge, I decided to do this nice updo for Lady N. I really didn't have much in mind. I just knew I wanted cornrows and a twisted bun.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bOzkS1I4wG0/UPXRq8xSoxI/AAAAAAAACvE/ofdmoqv9NPk/s1600/po.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bOzkS1I4wG0/UPXRq8xSoxI/AAAAAAAACvE/ofdmoqv9NPk/s640/po.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her friends at Girl Scouts really loved her hairstyle, and asked me "who did it, and how?" Below is the step by step instructional. Please leave any questions or comments below, and ill get back to ya. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started her hairstyle on clean, stretched hair. Pictured below is the breakdown of how I began this style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9MP4vGu9KQ8/UPXTUTD1x4I/AAAAAAAACvo/t4S3ilUzL4Y/s1600/iiiiiii.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="372" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9MP4vGu9KQ8/UPXTUTD1x4I/AAAAAAAACvo/t4S3ilUzL4Y/s640/iiiiiii.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1.) In the illustration number#1, I parted her hair from ear to ear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2.) In the illustration number #2 and starting in the back of the hair. I created 4 cornrows starting in her nape area, braiding upwards towards the center of her hair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3.) Once the cornrow reached the part when it rises off of the scalp. I switched from cornrow to two strand twist. Then I twisted the remaining hair all the way to the ends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4.) In the final illustration, after the 4 cornrows were completed. I created once braid on the right (highlighted in the color red) and brought the braid across the four braids.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5.) Then I took a braid (from the left indicated in blue) and brought that across the 4 braids. (In the opposite direction.)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6.) I continued crossing the blue and red braids, until I reached the center of her hair. I did stitch a inch or so, of hair on the sides into the blue and red sections, to secure them.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7.) For the top of her hair. I created random parts and cornrows. </div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I left one piece out to put some beads from <a href="http://kandylandkurls.blogspot.com/2013/01/product-review-tikilala-connectedbeads.html">Tikilala</a> on it to decorate the style.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8.) Once the cornrows were completed. I created twists all the way to the ends of her hair, on each cornrow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9.) Next, I gathered all of her hair in a ponytail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10.) Finally, I began wrapping the twists around each other to form a bun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used black ponytail holders to secure the bun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Patricia, you are doing a really good job on Charisse's hair! Her curls are G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S! I hope she starts to realize just how pretty her curls are! My daughter went through the same phase, as they get older they may start to appreciate their hair. Oh, and they stopped selling Silk Elements Mixed Silk products nationwide (legal reasons.) But <a href="http://www.mixedchicks.net/">Mixed Chicks</a> products and their kids line, is very similar. Thanks very much for participating!</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><b>Review: </b>What a very smart idea and product! We received a package of beads, and several beads were clustered together. One on top of another. We used our beadstick to put the beads on, which was very quick. Then I slid the beads onto N's braid, and bam! Place our rubberband on the end to secure, and we were finished.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"> I think this is a very clever product that saves time. No need to pick out the beads, or put them on one at a time. It was so simple, that N helped me to put the beads on. </span><br />

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Things have been very busy around here. I spent my winter break celebrating birthday's (my son L, my mom, and myself) we are all December babies (woohoo!) My days were filled with quality family time. But I tried my best to manage the "2013 Protective Style Challenge." I'm so very thankful for Revelle, she has been such a blessing. It's still not too late to participate in our challenge. Here is the link to join: http://www.facebook.com/groups/134266746727443/ </div>

Twists are officially "Lady N's" favorite hairstyle! She has been begging me for weeks to give her twists. I planned on creating chunky twists, but somehow they turned out alot smaller LOL. She of course, was thrilled to have twists. I can tell that when we start our Protective Style Challenge this January, she will be rocking twists, possibly for the entire event. </div>
