Herbal Aloe Bath and Body Bar


Nourish and moisturize skin with a body bar made from whole-leaf aloe, vitamins A and E, grapeseed and olive oils. This Bar of soap leaves your skin feeling soft and nourished, it cleanses and renews your skin.
Aloe has such great benefits for your skin:

"Skin care products with aloe vera increase the availability of oxygen to the skin and thereby aid synthesis and strength of the skin tissues. Aloe Vera lotions are widely used for cleansing the skin. Many of the skin care products containing aloe vera are also fortified with Vitamin E and collagen to maintain the skin's elasticity and suppleness and keep the moisture in. "

This soap is a must have well, well its not a neccesity but why not get something you'll love. It will make you feel beautiful and leave your skin feeling and looking healthy.

My Curly Hair Routine



This is my new curly hair routine, I have been doing it for about two weeks and my hair is looking great. I will be making a video on this soon so stay tuned to my youtube channel youtube.com/chocolatecaramels. Now its a lot of products so pay attention lol

Step 1: Shampoo- I shampoo my hair with Ouidad's Curl Quencher moisturizing shampoo you can find it at their website Ouidad.com this shampoo is very moisturizing it doesnt leave my hair feeling stripped.
Next time I shampoo I use the Mixed Chicks Shampoo, its always good to rotate between hair products that way your hair doesnt get used to them and it will continue to work for you.
Step 2: Conditioner- To condition my hair I use Ouidad's Curl Quencher moisturizing Conditioner, it has a kind of coconut smell and leaves my hair feeling great, I comb out the tangles and rinse out but I always reapply a little bit on the ends of my hair and leave it.
The next time I use the Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner, this one is awesome and works great too, i do the same as above also leaving some on the ends of my hair.
Step 3: Leave-in Conditioner- After I condition I part my hair into two sections and apply a quarter size amount into each section then I wrap my hair up in a towel and let it dry a little bit while I get dressed and do other stuff usually like 5 minutes.


then after unwrapping my hair I spray some of Ouidad's Botanical Boost spray-in conditioner just a bit to the end of my hair and I also add a spray-in conditioner i made, I got the idea from Latina4u55. Its just Olive oil mixed with Infusium23. I spray some of this to my hair all over.

Step 4: Styling Products- Then I part my hair into two sections and a bit of Fantasia Hair Polisher Styling Gel in each section I make sure I add a little to the roots just to smooth it out and leave it frizz free
Sometimes when my hair is acting out after I apply the gel above I will apply a tiny bit of Ouidad's Climate Control heat and humidity gel, I only use a little bit and it leaves my hair frizz free and beautiful. I always let my hair air dry.
Step 5:Deep Conditioning-I do this once a week, to keep my hair healthy and beautiful
I use the Aphogee Keratin 2 minute reconstructor one week, since my hair is really dry i leave it on for 5 minutes sometimes instead of just two but this deep conditioner is really strong so i only leave it up to 5 minutes.
The next week I will use the Fantasia deep penetrating creme moisturizer, this one i leave on all night, I do two braids in my hair and sleep with it on and rinse it out in the morning. It leaves my hair so nice and soft.

Bless the Broken Road



I know this has nothing to do with Makeup or anything but im in a very romantic mood and this song is for my wonderful husband, if you have never heard this song look it up on youtube and listen to it its beautiful



Bless The Broken Road lyrics
Songwriters: Boyd, Bobby C; Hannah, Jeff; Hummon, Marcus;

I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes He did

I think about the years I spent, just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there, you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

But now I'm just rolling home into my lover's arms
This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Fingerprint Friday




I see God's fingerprints everyday in my children's faces. It's a blessing that i'm able to see them smile and play. It's the little things that we forget to give thanks for, we pray to God when they wake up sick so he could make them better but we forget to pray when they wake up healthy and give Him thanks. Thank you Father because my babies are healthy, thank you because they have everything they need, they have food, clothes, a home. There are so many children suffering in this world and for me to be able to say my kids are healthy and happy that is the best blessing of all. So don't forget to give thanks for all the little things because they might seem small but they are truly the biggest blessings. 

-Melissa
