    How do You Manage Daily Stress?

    August 17, 2018 /

    This post is sponsored by Bayer. To make sure these products are right for you, always read and follow the label. Life hands you lemons. Think quick, how do you deal with them? Do you make lemonade, or throw them at your friends? Do you worry about having too many lemons to weigh you down or decide an abundance of lemons is okay? Stress is a little like that, to me anyways. There’s no way to avoid daily stress or symptoms of stress really, but you can sort of balance it out. Build in daily activities like meditation, yoga, exercise and hydration. Take care of yourself, fuel your body with…

    How to Choose the Best Products for Curly Hair

    August 13, 2018 /

    Curly hair is beautiful. I didn’t always think so. When I was a child I had super curly, often frizzy hair. It took me years to understand how to take care of my curls and honestly it took me a while to figure out that it was one of my favourite physical features. Thank goodness for hair products. As a child I was stuck with frizzy unmanageable hair. We never had conditioner in the house because my Mom didn’t have curly hair and had no idea mine needed conditioner. In fact moisturizing products and curl tamers are my mainstay now as an adult with curly hair. Choosing the Best Products…

    Preventing Head Lice – 3 Easy Ways to Keep Them Away

    September 13, 2017 /

    Preventing head lice is key when you have kids attending summer camps or heading back to school. Head lice are nasty. Once they take hold on your child’s head, they are tough to get rid of. They start to lay eggs almost immediately, and they multiply quickly. Children can contract head lice almost anywhere, since they spread fast, so it’s important for your child to know what not to do to avoid head lice. Prevention is the name of the game with head lice. Preventing Head Lice – Stopping an Infestation Before it Starts Here’s the thing that’s so important to remember about head lice. Any child can get them. A…

    Healthy Hair and Skin with Aynara Pure Organic Argan Oil #AynaraBeauty

    October 5, 2016 /

    Healthy hair and skin is something we’re all after. It’s a constant game of choosing healthy foods, the best shampoos and conditioners, and the cremes we think will do the best job of keeping our skin hydrated and soft. There’s a new weapon that I’ve found for healthy hair and skin, and it’s Aynara Pure Organic Argan Oil. Healthy Hair and Skin with One Product I have used a different version of this product in the past on my hair, and it’s an excellent weapon against frizz.

    End Bad Hair Days With Living Proof Hair Products #Curl411

    April 9, 2015 /

    Good hair days don’t have to be few and far between. It’s no secret that this winter was hard on my hair. I tweeted about it often enough, and I think most of you have already heard me ranting about dry winter hair. I am a curly-haired woman, some days more waves than curls, and that’s alright by me. When I was little and the curls were always tangly and dry, well I was not so much a fan of my curly hair. I would have traded it for the short dark shiny straight Snow White hair my BFF Sheila had. Her hair was No fuss. It was always sporty…

    Voloom Hair Volumizing Iron #TMMGG2014

    November 23, 2014 /

    This is a house favourite for hair. I received a Voloom Hair Volumizing Iron this past month for consideration. I tested it out this past week with my daughters and I love it. Please note my kids are 10 and 13. I supervise their use of hair gadgets, especially those that could catch fire or damage something if not used with caution. I think the Voloom makes a brilliant Christmas gift for the teenage girl on your list, or for any women you have to buy presents for this year. The Voloom hair volumizing iron is something that worked on my one daughter’s super thick long hair. That alone says something because…

This post about simple braids reflects my personal opinion about the information provided by the sponsors. Back to school means racing out the door with lunches made and backpacks ready, and not a moment to spare. Some days, time is so tight that we scarcely have a moment to do the hair and teeth checks as we kiss them good bye and wish them a great day. Luckily though,as a Mom of girls, and a lifetime owner of long hair myself, I have a few handy and simple braids that will…
