#Datenight is still necessary…even when:

- clothes don’t fit *quite* right yet.
- you’re overstimulated
- you’re sleep deprived
- running after your other kids

Your marriage matters THAT much. How else are you supposed to last long enough for those kids to finally leave you alone?! 😝😉🥰

Why didn’t anyone tell us the skill of doing our kids hair didn’t just ✨appear✨ one day?! 🤣 thank God for youtube university & tiktok hair college! 🙌🏽 #Alum 😂

Mind you, I couldn’t cornrow 3 years ago lol but not one person in my home has the same hair type so mama had to figure it out!!

#kidshair #kidsnaturalhair #toddlerhair #naturalhair

Yeah, needed that 🥹🥰 the effort to get out the house just to get my hair done is nothing to overlook but when it’s time for some #hairtherapy - it’s go time!!

The next best thing to a house call is being able to bring the baby 🙌🏽 I know you don’t let everyone do it but this meant so much to me @oliviadavis.hair !! You always take care of my hair & my heart 🥹🥲🙏🏽

$9 vs $30 👀 Battle of the Blowout Spray! @colorwow dream coat spray vs. @marcanthonyhaircare curly to straight blowout spray

The #colorwowdreamcoat spray has changed the game and now so many brands are coming out with dupes (which I love because this product is now an added step in every straightened style I do!)

So I love trying out new ones and seeing how they compare to the OG! What do you think about this results?

NOTE: I only used the spray on my hair, no leave-ins or additional products. The half / half moment you see here was filmed only a few minutes after finishing both sides.

What #humidity blocking #blowout spray should we try out next?? Drop them in the comments!

#straightnatural naturalhair

Because she deserves! 🥹🥰 I finally convinced my good sis to let me do a #rollerset on her (and do her makeup!! Which she hasn’t had someone else do since she was in high school 🥹)

Let me know if y’all want a longer #hairtutorial on how I did her roller set!

Also if you want any of these products, just comment “roller set” and I’ll send you the links!

Dry, clumping or cakey under eyes is one of my biggest pain points when doing my makeup in my 30’s! Thank you to the woman on Threads that I learned this technique from!! May your children and their children, and their children’s children be blessed!! 🥹🙌🏽💕🥰🤣

Sis, GET ON YOUR SUPPLEMENTS!! Now I am not a medical professional so keep that in mind here but omg! I have had so many conversations about #postpartum lately and the biggest topic we cover (after the birth story lol) is supplements! We don’t talk about it enough!! I take quite a few things to help my body recover from pregnancy / birth and help me maintain a balanced mood and make it through the day with some energy!

Did you take anything after giving birth??

#postpartumjourney #newmom #mommytips

Am I crazy for doing all this with a 6 week old newborn?! 🤣

#girlhood #teapartyideas #mommydaughterdate

#WillowPartner The first few weeks postpartum are tough - your mind and body are all trying to balance out and the moment it’s time to finally leave the house - there’s so much anxiety because “yes I’m ready to break out of this baby bubble but also the mental load of leaving the house is HEAVY!
That’s where my Willow favorites come in - from the manual breast pump to my wearable pumps! Both get the job done with no leaks and minimal stress 🙌🏽Plus, having my @willow Breast Milk Cooler on hand is a MUST! Now you can grab all of these and more from @willow at @Target! #Ad

A very low-stimulating wash day, just the way we like it! 💆🏽‍♀️🚿

Also, yes - #miracleknots are worth the hype. Style of the spring/summer FOR SURE!

#smediumknotlessbraids #braidseason #naturalhair

I don’t think we’ve all been this enthralled in a new hairstyle since we transitioned from box braids to knotless!!

And I’m here for it because:

1. No synthetic hair (which allows us to still tend to our real hair & scalp!)

2. How lightweight these braids feel (which helps why reduce excess shedding and breakage after we take the braids down)

3. The ease of using the crochet pre-separated hair (whether your feeding in or using a crochet hook)

Unmatched! Top Tier! No wonder #miracleknotless braids are the protector style of the season! 🏆

About the Hair:
I used @ywigs_official Feather Crochet Boho Human Hair for Braiding Pre-Separated 120 Strands Loose Deep Wave (3 packs) of 16” 💕 I washed the bundle before adding them into my braids (highly recommend!) and let them dry as I plaited my hair.

The Method:
My hair is thick and a little past my shoulders so 16” was a perfect length (and felt longer than I expected!) I added one piece to the ends, and fed in one piece around-length of each braid. I didn’t want a super full look so this was perfect! I also used a 3-sided mirror to part & braid the back - VERY MUCH NEEDED!

Immediately after finishing I was able to put my hair up in a ponytail without any discomfort because I don’t braid super tight. 🔑

One Week Update:
Even after having these in for over a week - they’re so easy! I haven’t even added anything’s besides a little hair fragrance spray! I am ready for a wash though, I plan on using a wig cap to keep my hair laid as I cleanse my scalp and condition my hair.

Sleep Routine:
I wrap my hair up at night with a scarf & bonnet. Sometimes I don’t though and I haven’t found the hair to get tangled or matted! 🙌🏽 Tip; if nothing else, put the braids in a low ponytail or low loose braids when going to bed 🙏🏽

The baby is napping - 🏃🏽‍♀️WE HAVE 30 MINUTES!!

😂 I love my roller sets but newborn life means having to pivot to a quicker option for getting this head of hair together lol I even washed & dried my hair the day before but ended up throwing it in a bun because - #postpartum lol

I tried these two products from @chrismcmillanhair & @emijayinc after seeing @janiaaliyahh use them on her silk press and omg - the results!! One of the best blow outs I’ve ever done! No flat iron and no frizz?! 🙌🏽 thanks for the rec, girl!

Am I the crazy person who just had a baby and is already trying to do her hair?! YUP 😂😆

Doing my hair is my happy place, yall! Especially when it comes to my #rollerset 🥰

#straightnatural #mommy #grwm

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!!

#LTKBaby #LTKootd #LTKmomlife

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?? 👀

#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?

Because sometimes the point is to just…

Stop thinking, and breathe.

Stop thinking, and feel.

How does your nervous system feel right now? What does it need?
