Biracial Hair Care

I just started using new hair care products on my little one. I had been using some products I found online called, it's a curl-organic baby curl care. The products were wonderful, however they got to be a little too expensive. The bottles are only 4oz. and cost around $12.00. I was using the tearless shampoo, conditioner as well as the leave in conditioner and it was costing me around $12.00-$36.00 per month, depending on what I had to purchase.





I was actuallly down visiting my mom, and a girl came up to me and remarked how her daughter had the same type of hair my daughter had. My daughter's hair is dark brown and extremely curly, corkscrew curly. It is soft in the front, but coarser in the back. I told her what I had been using on it, but that I had stopped because of the price. She suggested I use a product she had found at Family Dollar, called Kids' Organics by Africa's Best. She said it only cost about $6.00 for both the shampoo and the moisturizing detangler.





I go to the Family Dollar quite often, but never thought to look for hair care products, so the next time I went I looked to see if they had the products she was talking about and they did. I ended up buying both the shampoo and the detangler (a package deal), and it only cost my $4.00 for both. The shampoo is about 6oz. and the detangler about 12oz. I wasn't really expecting much however, I was pleasantly surprised. The shampoo left my daughters hair feeling so soft and the detangler is amazing. I used to spend quite a bit of time trying to wrestle all of her tangles out, but now it is a breeze and it leaves her curls so defined and shiny. I am so very thankful to have found a product that works so well for such a great price.

Biracial Baby Dolls

Biracial baby dolls seem to be somewhat difficult to find. I was trying to find a mixed baby doll for my daughter and couldn't find anything "specifically" biracial. I looked through many sights to find one, that was reasonably priced but, what I mostly found were dolls that were ethnic, tan or beige by description. I did find some "biracial" handmade dolls that were out of my price range(over $50.00). I did decide on a doll that I am going to purchase for my little one, that is actually described as "Hispanic". If you are looking for a biracial baby doll for your little, check out this lens http://www.squidoo.com/biracial-baby-dolls. It will give you my complete list of biracial dolls I found. Hopefully, this will save you some time.
