Tricksters will delight in this bilingual adaptation of a traditional Mexican folktale. Brother Coyote wants one thing and one thing only: to catch and eat one of Dona Conchita's plump chickens. But quick-witted Sister Fox is always one step ahead of him, waiting to trick him with clever schemes in order to keep all the chickens to herself!

Wet Ones Sticky Situation Contest!

Just last week my 3 year old greeted me by saying, "Good afternoon"like he always does after nap time. I turned to embrace him and was confronted with the adorable face you see below. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you my precious son somehow snuck my eyeliner into his bedroom and turned his face into a one of a kind piece of art! This is one of the stickiest situations I have been put in as a mom. Lesson learned this mom will be incorporating a pat down into our nap time routine!

Motions Holiday Hair Chat!

I had the pleasure of attending a holiday hair chat sponsored by Motions and hosted by Danielle of The Style and Beauty Doctor & Lexi of Lexi With The Curls. During the event over a dozen Metro Atlanta bloggers including myself all shared our hair story and hair plans for the Holidays. I walked away not only with more ideas for how to style my hair but also with great new products to try from the Motions Naturally You product line. Look for future post on my experience with these products. In the mean time enjoy the view of the lovely bloggers I spent a delightful Sunday afternoon with!

It's a Hawk... A Mohawk That Is!

I recently went home to Texas to visit my family for the Thanksgiving holidays. Aside for the obvious reasons (i.e family, friends, food and fellowship) I also love going home because my older sister  Rochelle gives me a much needed break from doing my own hair. Officially she is only the second person including my experience at Curltopia who has styled my hair since I've been natural. 

Because I had a very talented person at my disposal I decided try a look that I could never achieve alone. It is very challenging for me to make straight parts, so I typically opt for styles that does not require a part. I also have not mastered the ability to create cornrows. So with that said I present to you the evolution of a style I absolutely love created through a collaboration between my sister and I. Thank you Rochelle for taking on the massive challenge that is my hair!

If you are natural, do you find that you go to the hair salon less now?

If you are ready to treat your entire family to an awesome show run don't walk to get your tickets to the all new stage show Disney Live! Mickey's Music Festival debuting right here in Atlanta! My family and I will be at Phillips Arena grooving to Disney's greatest hits from blockbuster movies,  Aladdin, The LittleMermaid and Disney/Pixar's Story remixed to rock, pop, reggae, hip-hop, jazz and country, among other jams so there is something for everyone!

Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival, featuring an all star line-up of more than 25 Disney characters,   begins with audiences watching a state-of-the-art video projection of the frenzy backstage which spills onto the stage as Mickey welcomes guests to his concert tour.  Soon thereafter, they will be transported to a new world of hip hop beats, dizzying acrobatics, flying carpets and magical transformations with Aladdin, Jasmine and Genie.  Underwater is where the crowd will meet up with Ariel, Sebastian and their nautical pals to groove to the reggae rhythm.  And, family and friends will stomp to the beat as Woody, Buzz and Jessie teach them how to boogie rodeo-style.  Anyone can be a member of the band as giant-sized balloons fall from the ceiling in one scene and then in the next, Disney characters are dancing in the aisles.

Signature Style- Super Stretched Flat Twist Out

I believe my search is finally over I have found a signature style that I LOVE! This Super Stretched Flat Twist Out method gave me full and shiny loose curls and even better second day hair!!!

Step 1. Start with freshly washed hair and set using Curlformers (conditioner+oil). Wore in a curly ponytail for 2 days (not necessary).

Step 2. Flat Twist Hair in 10 sections (4 front +6 back) add conditioner and oil to re moisturize if you waited several days before twisting. Pin back each twist to stretch hair while it sets.

Step 3. Allow hair to set overnight/ 8hrs+. Untwist hair carefully to avoid freeze.

 4. Shake and Go.

I preserved this style by re twisting the front 2 flat twist only and putting the rest in a loose high ponytail. 

What is your signature style? Why do you love it?
