My Little Allstar Boy and a long week...

been a mommy  to an 8 year old can be a little 

bit overwhelming at times

would i change it??? Never, Not in a Million Years... 

in a way its what makes it even more fun in my life.

You see Drake is the kind of kid that loves all Sports

and wants to do everything, seriously I mean everything

from Basketball which we just finished this weekend,

to Tae Kwon Do which we just signed up for another year,

to skate boarding, to bmx riding, to hockey,

to baseball which we also just signed up this weekend

which the hubs will be Coaching and i will def. 

be the Team Mom again...

I can name them all and he will stand by it to say "YES I DO"

It's like he never gets tired and Mommy and Daddy 

always say yes to everything

this little superstar wants to do...

But I cant complain because I know that he enjoys been an active 

all-star player and i love cheering him on...

(by the way I'm the really loud mom that will totally get into the game)

 he makes me so proud to be his mommy.

so to that because I know once in a while he likes to come 

and read my blog... 

GOOD JOB MY LITTLE GUY, YOU DID AMAZING THIS BASKETBALL SEASON and  

GOOOOO LITTLE BALLERS!!!

So what else did I do this week and weekend??

Lots of playing with Annita especially since my last post

it just made me realize so much...

And don't I look lovely after my makeover that she gave me,

I told her she could do my makeup on Valentines Day!

 One of my favorite Hairdos I love is a Fishtail, so fun, so easy and so convenient especially on those days that you just don't even want to mess with you hair which for me 

is 3 to 5 days a week and the nice part its doesn't 

have to be perfect!!!

Here is a great tutorial from The Beauty Department.

 and last but not least we celebrated my

beautiful Niece Dulce's 10th Birthday and we had a great time

we skated, we played Dance Central with the Kinect 

and we had such a blast together!!!

TUTORIAL: BANTU KNOTS CURLS

I LOVE LOVE CURLING MY HAIR FOR 

NO FANCY BUSINESS 

BUT WE ALL KNOW HOW DAMAGING CURLING IRONS CAN BE ON YOUR HAIR and HOW LIMITED OUR TIME FOR US MOMMIES CAN BE WITH LITTLE ONES.

THEIR IS SO MANY GREAT METHODS OUT THEIR TO GETTING FABULOUS CURLY HAIR WITH OUT HAVING TO BURN YOU HAIR.  

I've TRIED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM

 AND NOW I GET TO SHARE MY NUMBER ONE METHOD

THE BANTU KNOTS CURLS

ITS SERIOUSLY TAKE ABOUT 5 MINUTES OR LESS

ITS ALSO DEPENDS HOW MANY TWISTED BUNS YOU WANT.

YOUR HAIR CAN BE WET OR DRY.

I DID 8 AND I LOVE THE WAY THE CURLS TURN OUT

THEIR BIG AND CURLY BUT NOT sHIRLEY TEMPLE BOUNCY CURLY!!!

 

AFTER MAKING ALL THIS CUTE LITTE TWISTED BUNS, 

I LIGHTLY SPRAYED IT 

WITH HAIR SPRAY AND THEN I GET MY BEAUTY SLEEP.

THE NEXT MORNING I WAKE UP AND GET MY MAKEUP ON AND GET READY FOR THE DAY... YOU UNTWIST YOUR BANTU KNOTS AND YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL NO HEAT CURLS!!! 

 NOW GO AHEAD AND TRY IT FOR YOURSELF aND IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE PRINCESS MAKE SURE YOU TRY IT ON HER TOO!!!
