Best Co-Wash

Here is my favorite Co-wash. I even use it on my hair and have noticed a nice difference. My hair is not as dry. I wash my kids hair with this once a week! Can be found at Wal-greens, target, or Sally's!!!

Summer time Hair!!! AAHHHHHH

I don't know about you but every summer I try numerous products to keep my children's hair healthy. My children LOVE the pool and I do not know how to braid my daughter's hair enough to fight through all that thickness to put on a hair cap. She just has soooo much I can not fathom that tasks. So yes, her hair tends to get extremely dry and brittle during the summers due to the chlorine. This summer I came across Swimmers Conditioner. I purchased it at Sally's and it was less than $6! We like that price!!! I spray this on her hair before and after the pool and I must say that I have noticed a difference. Her hair stays soft and I am not washing it as much so that it does not dry out. I also do a hot oil treatment once a month. If I find her hair to get too dry I will do it twice a month. I put the bottle in a pot on the stove and after washing her hair I apply the hot oil and put a shower cap on her for 20 minutes. Her hair is AMAZING after!!! So far this summer we have had great summer swimmers hair with no breakage or dry ends!

My Children are Afro Latinos!

My Children are Afro-Latinos and as a mother it is my desire to teach them the beauty of their history. While we don’t speak Spanish fluently in our home, I am working at speaking more to them in Spanish and requesting that my family members do the same. However, cultural pride goes beyond speaking the language but being culturally educated. I aspire to construct a healthy environment so that they can face the chaos and stereotypes head on with no confusion of who they are and where they come from. Their biracial background, coiled tight curls, or the color of their skin is not a determining factor of their character. I speak life into them daily reminding them they’re made with a purpose, that their skin tone and tight curls are amazingly beautiful, that their smile changes people, and that who they are on the inside needs to shine on the outside. Their outward appearance is the extra gifts God gave them to decorate who he made them to be. I look them directly in the eyes giving them these positive affirmations as it will build their coat of confidence assuring that they will rise to any challenge. That being “biracial” is beautiful. There is nothing wrong with curves, full lips, thick thighs, and afro puffs! They come from two worlds that are full of cultural customs. Our history, music, and art have been world changers. You are African American and Puerto Rican and do not need to explain yourself to no one. They are not losing one culture over the other but embracing the beauty of being “BICULTURAL!”

I LOVE this little Doctor!!! My daughter does as well and that makes me happy. When she was younger, it was hard to find shows which represented her; an ethnic darker little girl who did not have strait hair. Here comes Doc McStuffins with all the right things to say and do. This episode she embraces her natural hair!

Here are my babies, my inspiration, and my life! I want them to understand that being biracial is beautiful. My desire for them is embrace their cultures and be proud of who they are and where they come from. Their caramel colored skin, tight curls, curves, and full lips define them as individuals. As beautiful unique beings who were created to perfection by God himself. They are my little Cookies & Cream!
