Just In Time for #NationalHairDay – How to Use Curlformers on 4B Natural Hair

If you already subscribe to my YouTube Channel, you’ll already recognize this video as an oldie, but goodie. But because I love Curlformers just that much – I dug this one out of the archives to share with you guys over here on the blog. Curlformers are great because they work on just about all hair textures. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but it’s pretty smooth sailing once you get the hang of it. When I first used them, I was amazed at how smooth my hair came out – even without the use of heat!

If you’ve ever tried Curlformers before, let me know what you think in the comments.

Between the baby, stroller, snacks, diaper bag, and goodness knows what else – my hands are literally FULL every time I leave the house! I’ve pretty much given up on most purses because who has time to dig around in search of their wallet or cellphone with a teething baby in tow?! In any case, I found the PERFECT solution on Amazon. I call it my mom sling, and I’m never without it. I even wear it around the house because it’s just so convenient to have my phone handy whenever Christian does something super cute, and I wanna snap a picture of it.
Even if you don’t have kids, I still think you’d find a mom sling useful. In fact, I first spotted one while standing in line at Zara. The woman wearing it didn’t appear to have any kids with her, but she looked oh-so-chic when she whipped out her phone, and I knew right then I needed to have this accessory. I searched online for it right there on the spot, and the rest is history.

Cozy for the Holidays {Featuring Vera Bradley}

Vera Bradley Holiday Sale 2018{c/o VERA BRADLEY Hooded Robe, Printed Slippers, and Throw Blanket in Bordeaux Blooms}

The holidays are always my favorite time of year, and even more so now that I have my son Christian to celebrate with. Christmas in New York City is always pretty magical, and while I love things like ice skating in Central Park and viewing the Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Center, what I’m really looking forward to is spending cozy evenings at home, snuggled up on the couch with my little one.

This Vera Bradley robe is probably one of the softest things I’ve ever put on my body, and the hood makes it extra homey. Christian kept reaching up to stroke the fleece whenever I held him. We have hardwood floors throughout our apartment, so the floors tend to get chilly. I’m always on the lookout for cozy slippers, and these keep my feet nice and toasty (especially when I’m sneaking into the kitchen for a late-night hot cocoa). Seeing his tiny face light up when we put up the tree was the best feeling in the world and would melt even the toughest Scrooge’s heart. And of course, I couldn’t resist the matching throw blanket, that’s so soft, warm, and perfect to bundle up under during cheesy Christmas movie binges on Netflix.

As soon as I saw the Bordeaux Blooms print, I knew it would be perfect for the holidays.  Vera Bradley has tons of iconic prints, and as some who’s always been a sucker for matchy-matchy ensembles, I absolutely LOVE that they have so many products available in each pattern. You can even shop-by-print on their site.

If you’re looking for the perfect holiday gift for a lucky lady in your life, you really can’t go wrong with Vera Bradley. They’re a classic brand that never goes out of style. I’m especially enamored with their travel duffels and backpacks which are perfect for weekend getaways.

Happy shopping!
