Acessoriez ! :)



Ok, so today Ellie my lil bumba got new hair pieces yay ! I finally made her some :) I made her 3 head bands and a ankle band cute ! All this cost me less than 8 bucks. Thats pretty good considering what some pay for these or the price you pay in a store. The supplies needed was newspaper,scissors, nail polish, head bands, hot glue gun, and acrylic jewels. First off I picked what kind I wanted , I pulled them apart piece by piece by removing the stem part off , I then layered them the way I wanted them and one by one glued them on into the center after that was done I added my jewel and pulled off and extra strings of glue off so it was neat looking .. Then i took the heand band and put glue in the fold part  and pressed the piece on held it there and till it was dry and there ya go ! all done ! not to mention cute now the other I made was to flower ankle band that I bout 6 in of stetch band from the arts store. With this I cut a piece smaller than her ankle and wrist. I took the clear nail polish to seal ends and then hot glued the ends together thenn I just made a piece like I did for the hair piece just a small one and glued it on its cute for the wrist or ankle!...Next I will be making her some baby necklaces and bracelets :)

A's Hair (Niece) 1st Attempt..



So, yes trying to find a routine to help my nieces hair its so hard to tame. I went out today and got a couple things took a while to choose what I did. I ended up getting Herbal Essences Totally Twisted  for curls and waves Shampoo, Creme Of Nature Lemongrass & Rosemary Leave-in-Creme  Conditioner for Dehyrated Hair,Softee Mango Growth Treatment, and what I had bought for Ellie Extra Virgin Cocanut Oil.Before starting anything I put some rubber bands in Extra Virgin Olive Oil so they dont cause breakage. Then I parted her hair and patch by patch distributed the Totally Twisted shampoo in by using my fingertips on her scalp. Then a cup washed it out so I wasnt rubbing her hair it tends to fall out and break easy. After all rinsed I pat her hair and squeeze. No rubbing.  I then applied the coconut oil beginging base to little bit half a inch above the ends. Then I took the Mango Treat. And finger tipped it into her scalp gently. Lastly I applied the Leave in a generous amout bc her hair soaks up everything.Finger combing out any types a kinks. I only used the pick and comb to part and spread the ends. After all this I just threw up a quick style . Small pony in front into two two trand twist. Two piggies and then hair on each piggy twisted into lil two strand twist. One puff ball pony  and two small french braids in back going down. Some acessories prolly would of made a better look but over all loved these products so did the "Nana". They all had lovely smells and her hair looked very hydrated lil more laid down  and less kinks.

Make Bank !

Bumba now has a what I call " Ellie's Hair bank " for anything that has to do with her hair. Products, or accessories. Yep ! she has one I figured why not it a be cool to see how much she has by 6 months and then to 8 months. I will keep track and have postings if the amount each month. I will make her first purchase at 8mons maybe 10 mons. :) Every penny counts!
