Jingle VoxBox

                                               

HEY GUYS



OK So a few weeks ago i received  a lovely gift from Influenster......MY 6 VOXBOX  this time is was my 2nd jinglebox  if u follow me since the beginning it was my 1st box  but anyways lets get too it people

                                                         


GIFT #1






The first gift was the cetaphil moisturizing cream  i love this product and use the facial wash as well  because its one of the only things that dont irritate my skin. I Also love that it is not greasy and there's not an overwhelming scent.



Gift #2  

the Pure Ice nail polish in the color  French Kiss. it’s a really pretty shade that stands out and begs to be seen.It does take a few coats to get a nice vibrant look, but it does look nice.


GIFT #3
I have tried a product from New York Color before and was happy with the product. I do like this eyeliner. It was easy to use and lasted for a long time so it was nice that I didn't have to reapply it after a couple of hours.plus I’m running low on eyeliner  I mean I’m completely out, and the NYC New York City Color City Proof 24HR Waterproof Eyeliner couldn’t have showed up at a better time.
                                                  
                                           



GIFT #4
The Biscoff Cookies:These were gone before I could even come up with a recipe! Derrick was opening them and eating  every one (i got to  hide one pack).


                                              

GIFT #5


 Kiss True Volume Lashes and  also came with the Kiss Strip Lash Adhesive they looked extra fluffy and wispy. I am not sure if they were self-stick because I saw the glue and just assumed they were not and used the glue. I liked that the glue it was clean and plus a wand  was a A+ for me I wore them out for a date night and no one looked at me crazy Although Demetrious  kept looking at me  But if I am ever in the market for fake eyelashes again I absolutely would buy these. They stayed put and didn't poke the corners of my eyes 

GIFT # 6                                                                                                                             Hallmark itty bitty's  
Tell me this Hallmark itty bitty's OLAF isn’t cute! This is the first time I’ve ever seen these itty bitty's and they are super cute. Frozen is one of my favorite Disney movies, I mean, well I love all Disney movies though… OLAF was my favorite in Frozen.I’m passing this itty bitty's OLAF to my son  because he’s obsessed and loves OLAF.

                                                    


GIFT #7                                      
 and last but not least....Ore Ida potato coupons.
 I was also surprised that this box included Ore-Ida Tater Tots, it's one of my favorite breakfast item that I always include in my breakfast routine.

How do I start my Locs/dreads ???

The question I get asked the most is,  “How do I start my Locs/Dreads ?
As you guys know now i have started growing locs  its been 3 weeks now so im going though this loc journey 
There are many ways in which people tend to get started, but I’m going to give you my top 5 methods that have worked for me  and my friends and family.

Method 1 – Braids
If  you have long natural hair, braids are a great way to get your locs/dreads started.  You can either braid your natural hair or get braid extensions put in to do this method.  Start by braiding your hair  into individual or box braids.  Your locs will begin to form over time as you wash your hair without undoing the braids.  The braids will become kinky in the long run and mature into “normal looking” locs.


Method 2 – comb coiled 
 To start your Locs/dreads with the twisting method you wash and moisturize your hair.  Next take sections of hair and roll it between your fingers either clockwise or counter clockwise, depending on which direction is more comfortable for you I’m left  handed so I naturally tend to twist to the right or left dont matter .  For this method it would be wise to use a hair butter or a hair gel to help the hair hold in the twisted position.


Method 3 – Palm Rolling

With the Palm Rolling method, you place a section of hair between your palms and roll the hair from root to tip either clockwise or counter clockwise. Again I would recommend using a hair butter or a hair gel to help the hair hold the twisted position. i say this is only best for med/long length  hair  instead of short hair. 

Method 4 – 2 Strand/Double Strand Twist
2 Strand/Double Strand Twist are created by taking a section of hair and splitting that section into 2 sections which you then wrap around each other from root to tip.  This method has been a client favorite in the past for those who wanted to see what their hair would look like in locs/dreads with a temporary hair style. 

Method 5 – Interlocking

Interlocking is the method of taking a section of hair and looping it through the base of itself. You pinch the end if you are starting from scratch and loop the end of the hair section through the base of the hair section. Doing this over and over in a different space each time will cause your hair to look like it is already somewhat loced/locked by the time you reach the base/root of your hair.  Locs/Locks are created from hair matting naturally.  The interlocking method creates a hand made matted effect, which in the long run can help your hair lock quicker.  Interlocking works especially well on softer grads of hair which tend to have more trouble locing/locking or just take longer to loc/lock.

Well, those are my Fave 5 when it comes to methods for starting Locs/Locks.  I hope they are helpful in assisting you on your new loc/lock journey.  The twisting, palm rolling & interlocking methods can all be used to maintain your locs/locks once they have matured as well.
