The furniture came out really nice and would look sweet with the stenciling. Very nice.

Hey Carmell, I thought I remembered you had a blog about biracial kids hair but can’t find it. Anyway, just spent the past 2 hours viewing curly hair product reviews on youtube! Did you know about that? Very engrossing. I had been using the Curls Curly Q’s line a couple years back. But got to expensive. Been using cheap stuff and my oldest has paid for it. Her hair got really dry and coarse. Don’t know if the coarseness would have happened eventually anyway. Just ordered from Curls regular adult line. And also ordered from Mixed Chicks. I figured I’d give them both a month’s try and then do my own review on youtube. Mixed Chicks is cheaper.

The light/white colored furniture came out really nice. I like the idea of stenciling butterflies on the new stuff. You can change the drawer pulls to match too.

Wow girlfriend, you’ve been busy! I LOVE the colors of the liquid soap. I know my girls would get a kick out of it.

I like your hair that color, it doesn’t look orange to me (I’m biased tho). You can try Kinky-Curly “Curl Custard” to hold the curls in your hair. Altho it’s a process to apply it so that it’s not too sticky or crunchy feeling when your hair dries.

I LOVE Tres Leche cake. You know I’m from “Mexico” aka California so you don’t have to go far to buy one or have a bakery make one.

I tried to make some hair products last week and ended up with a runny lumpy goo. LOL. Not to mention I dayum near burned up the kitchen melting the shea butter cuz I decided to add aloe vera juice to it – while it was piping hot and and still on the stove. Can you say GREASE FIRE? LOL

I don’t know how you do it with 5 kids. I am exhausted with 3.

About the hair. I don’t dye mine, but I think you should try the no “poo” care. That means not using shampoo to wash your hair. Many people wash with conditioner (which has surfactants like shampoo) or baking soda with apple cider vinegar. I wash my hair with a combination of baking soda and light conditioner. I’ve done this for almost 2 years. I do this with my daughter too. I think you saw a picture of her hair. It has kept our hair soft and manageable. Curls need a lot of hydration, and shampoos strip it of that. And it is good for longer lasting dye. Read up on it, and I am sure you will get a lot of information online. Good luck.
