The first bath is always the sweetest 🥰🥹🧼🛁🫧👶🏽🍼

With this being my 5th baby, here are a few tips to make this moment as relaxed and enjoyable as possible for baby (and you!)

1. Feed/Nurse your baby right before you strip them down

2. Keep them wrapped up in a towel or muslin cloth in and outside the tub because they don’t like being cold and still need help regulating their own body temperature at this newborn stage!

3. If you’ve got some breastmilk pumped, add it to their bath water! It’s great for their skin 😊

4. Skip bubble bath and any heavily scented skincare products. Simple natural fragrances like chamomile/lavender are good because they have soothing properties but you want to be very careful as baby’s skin is sensitive and still learning how to accommodate the outside world!

5. Give baby a nice massage to help them relax and also stretch out their limbs!

6. Be ready to nurse/feed right after baby is dressed and be prepared for them to get some GOOD GOOD sleep 🥰💤

24 hours after having another unmedicated water birth at home 🥹🥰 Still in awe that this is real life!

I don’t know if you know, but that post-birth shower is HEAVENLY! To know that you’ve completed a GREAT work by bringing your baby into the world and at the same time coming back into yourself as your body begins to recover 🙌🏽 all such a beautiful process and when approached gently and slowly - can be so blissful.

One of my most frequently asked questions is “how do you maintain your roller set through the week?”

And this is it! I just roll my hair up in 3, sometimes 4 @overnightblowout rods like this and put a silk scarf on! No added products unless I need a dry shampoo or if my hair starts to frizz/feel dry I’ll add some oil to my ends but that’s pretty rare if my initial styling session goes well! My roller sets are such a low maintenance hairstyle and as a busy wife & mom, I understand why the women in generations before us stayed in a roller set!!

The fear of not being enough for your kids is real!! And here’s how I’ve made it make sense…

The choice is yours. Being “enough” for your kids or future kids is more about quality, not quantity. It’s not just “knowing” but BELIEVING. Because what you believe is how you see. See yourself, see the world around you, and see what’s ahead.

Perspective is everything and sometimes you gotta be honest with yourself - is your belief about how you show up as a mom rooted in defeat or triumph? In lack or abundance?

Remember, how you think determines your reality so if you want a beautiful, miraculous and fruitful future - ya better start acting and believing it (even when it doesn’t look like it - yet!) ❤️🙏🏽 Love ya!

Mamas - tap in! We need to discuss silk presses on kids hair!

When was the first time you did or got your daughter’s hair flat ironed / silk pressed?!

My daughter is now 6 years old and I’ve done this maybe twice and have done a couple roller sets on her too! We love to play in different hairstyles and had been rocking two strand mini twists all fall & winter so I wanted to give her a good trim before giving her a fresh protective style (we did mini braids after this!)

I like to use high quality products when I’m using heat on her hair so I just grabbed things I use on myself! Do you buy seperate hair products for your kids?? 👀

All the things I ACTUALLY use postpartum in my bedside nursery cart! #pregnancy #postpartummusthaves #ltk

#RollerSet & Go Series ✨ How To Use Snap On Rollers!

These #hairrollers are pretty easy to find (and affordable!) so I wanted to share a detailed breakdown of how you can use them on your natural hair! (I used 18 rollers for my whole head!)

In your #straightnatural era? Then roller sets are your best friend! They are my go-to method for the healthiest hair I’ve ever had while still keeping my curls intact and a straightened hairstyle that lasts 2+weeks!

Ready to roll? Grab my #free #RollerSet&Go eguide at the link in my bio and grab all your hair products and tools in my LTK shop!

I have officially converted my sister to the roller set crew! (now granted, I don’t know who got the better end of this deal at this point because this also means that I’m going to be doing her roller sets regularly lol)

Nonetheless, I love doing roller sets on different hair types to just learn and gain more experience so that I have more tips and tricks to share with you all and this time it dawned on me to use @ilovethedoux #gangstawrap foam for her roller set when normally I don’t use foam for my roller set and it was such a game changer for her hair!

Her hair is a bit dry and has some chemical damage from coloring her hair regularly so it’s harder for her hair to stay wet while we roll so the foam comes in and really helps her hair stay really wet and juicy throughout the entire wet roller setting process. This is how we get really smooth and shiny results when the rollers are ready to be taken down!

Come back for my next post where I show you her results! 🥰

Sometimes you don’t need extra heat - just time & some hairspray!!

Also added a couple tips if you’ve been struggling to get blow out rods / over night rods / flexi rods to stay in your hair at night.

Tuck those ends and roll TIGHT!

Have you tried the dry shampoo trick I mentioned?

Gone get me every TIME!! 🙌🏽 #fragrance #smellgoodfeelgood

Wash day due in 3-2-1…✨ The easiest hair routine by FAR I’ve ever had!

Day 1: Wash & Roller Set (Wet Set under the hooded dryer 😉)
Day 2 - 7: Use @overnightblowout rods at night & wrap with a scarf. Take down each morning & GO!
Day 8: Had an event so I lightly touched up my edges/perimeter that had reverted a little. No major restyling though! Only products added through the week is heat protectant & hair spray - no oils or creams 🙏🏽

I’ve got a maintenance appointment with my hairstylist @oliviadavis.hair for a trim & treatment! I go every 8 weeks or so 😉✨

This little one has the cutest little coils! And fortunately for me, his hair doesn’t take 3+ hours like his siblings locs & twists 🤣🥰 #kidswashday #kidsnaturalhair #kidscurlyhair

I ditched braids with extra hair added, sew ins, wigs - for the past year and totally focused on building a #healthyhair routine as a #straightnatural and I don’t know if I’ve ever been more in love with my hair routine than now 😍

A Wet set roller set is never a bad idea!! 🙌🏽😍

I’m just following instructions! 😘 love y’all 🙏🏽💕

Yall my beloved hooded dryer took its last breath 30 minutes into my last roller set session 😭😭😭😭 RIP!!

But all was not lost because I whipped out my tried and true blowout brush from @hairitagebymindy to save the day. And she understood the assignment!!

I actually used to do this a lot when I was first tryin to figure out how long I needed to sit under the dryer for my hair to fully dry and what product combinations worked best for my hair type.

So if you ever find yourself in this situation or simply can’t stand sitting under the dryer any longer lol try this hack!

Can you REALLY be a straight natural and still rock your natural curls?!

I think so! My routine has shown me a whole new world, y’all! Roller sets, salon visits every 6-8 weeks for a treatment & trim, adding steam to my wash day and if you follow me on youtube, you know the rest!

Don’t stress out - Here’s exactly how you’re going to plan your hairstyles around key moments this holiday season!

#LTKHoliday #LTKgrwm #LTKBeauty

Whether you are in your roller set, silk press, or blow out era - a straight natural hair journey is an opportunity to try something new while not leaving your natural texture behind!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKBeauty

Can we bring back the wash & set?! Relaxer not required! (unless that’s what’s you like, chile go for it!)

My favorite part of this #straightnatural journey has been exploring what products my hair likes when I do my roller set. This time I used the #pressplay system by @ilovethedoux!

(Longer version of this is on my Youtube channel!)

As this pregnancy progresses, the more I am grateful we figured out a protective style for my daughter’s hair that requires the most minimal upkeep!!

But on days like this day, I almost didn’t make it the way my back was screaming by the end of it 🤣

The plan is to help her get to a point where I can roller set it and give her a trim in a month or two. That’s why I chose the #bondrepair line from @asiamnaturally for majority of this wash day and I really liked the products!

Being a straight natural means finding new tricks to keep my hair looking and feeling good without adding extra heat is ALWAYS an open tab in my brain!

I’m constantly testing out new products and this one has been in my hair cabinet for over a year and I keep reaching for it. It feels like a serum and you only need to add a pea-size to large sections of your ends/frizzy areas before rolling or putting your hair up at night. It works every time!!

Mama we made it 🥹 a morning hair routine that takes less than 5 minutes?!? Sign me up EVERY TIME!
