WHO DOESN’T WANT THICK HAIR...⁣ ⁣ I’ve lea WHO DOESN’T WANT THICK HAIR...⁣ ⁣ I’ve learned that massaging your scalp for at least 4 minutes a day has shown to increase hair thickness, density and growth. I have thick hair but as I got older, I’ve noticed my hair doesn’t grow as fast as it used to. I want to make sure I keep my hair healthy and thick. Thank you @betternotyounger for your Fortifying Hair and Scalp Serum and Superpower Liquid Comb. Not only does it feel good to massage your scalp but this ball-tipped dispenser evenly distributes the serum throughout to help strengthen follicles, promote growth, and provide all around protection. It’s great for all hair types and improves the condition of the scalp and works in all hair textures. It’s light and not greasy at all which allows you to use it either day or night. ⁣ ⁣ #betternotyounger #waybetterhair #astoriainheels #styleover40 #superpower #grayhair #sulfatefree #scalpserum #girlmom #momblogger #nycblogger #melanin #momstyle #workingmom #momsofinstagram #womenofcolor #indocaribbean #momlife #corporatemom #thickhair #hairgoals #miamimom #naturalhair #womenempowerment #fashionmom #diversity #momboss #inclusionanddiversity #falltrends #trendy
THIS KID BOOK SUBSCRIPTION CLUB IS THE PERFECT TO THIS KID BOOK SUBSCRIPTION CLUB IS THE PERFECT TO REMOTE LEARNING...⁣ ⁣ Chloé started her first day of Pre-K through remote learning and I still can’t believe how big my baby is getting. She’s in school!!! Learning from home can have it’s struggles but her book club subscription makes it easier to keep her interested in reading and to keep the learning going even after she logs off. The more I sit with Chloe and read with her, the more comfortable she gets with speaking and her language development increases more and more! This is why I partnered with @LIterati |#AD|. This is a premier book club just for children. Chloe gets her very own delivery with 5 new, age-appropriate books, original art, and stickers with her name on it to put in all her books. The books chosen have vibrant stories and unforgettable characters that make her come back to these books each day. They get her excited and curious and keep her entertained. I want my girls to get caught up in a book that takes them to a magical place. Literati makes it that much easier for this to happen. All you have to do is keep and pay for the ones you want and return any that don’t fulfill that excitement with their prepaid label. Each month, Chloé can look forward to a new set of books and in her eyes, she getting presents every month! See the link on my page for 25% off your first month.⁣ ⁣ Its never too early to get your kids excited about reading! She is even starting to share them with her little sister, Céline.⁣ ⁣ #astoriainheels #girlmom #workingmomkind #momblogger #brownmom #nycblogger #corporatemom #melanin #remotelearning #toddlerlife #workingmom #momsofinstagram #womenofcolor #indocaribbean #bookworm #momlife #toddlerlife #reading #bookclub #motherhoodunplugged #earlyintervention #honestlymothering #Literati #kidsbooks #lifeisbeautiful #momtribe #parentingtips #prek

MAKING SUNSCREEN SAFE FOR KIDS...⁣ ⁣ We are st MAKING SUNSCREEN SAFE FOR KIDS...⁣ ⁣ We are still outside making the most of these sunny days! Growing up, I didn’t realize how important sunblock was and now that I know better, I am making sure to use it on my girls. I want to protect their skin and use products that are safe for them. Their delicate baby skin doesn’t need products with harsh chemicals. With a team of physicians and scientists, @gothinkco has created products using safe materials for you and your children. ⁣ ⁣ It is free of biologically harmful chemicals. No parabens, BPA, oxybenzone, to name a few. This brand is constantly working to make products safe for use and safe for the environment. Thank you @gothinkco for gifting us the Think Baby and Think Sport sunscreens. I know they will be safe while CiCi runs around all over the place!⁣ ⁣ #thinkskincare #thinksuncare #gothink ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #astoriainheels #funinthesun #mamaoftwo #motherhoodincolor #thisismotherhood #miamimomblogger #mominfluencer #mamablogger #nycmom #playtime #diversity #beautifulmixedkids #inclusionanddiversity #curlyhairkids #tinygirlgang #ethicalfashion #stylecollective #liketkit #instastyle #momstyle #momlife
GETTING MY STEPS IN...⁣ ⁣ Contrary to what man GETTING MY STEPS IN...⁣ ⁣ Contrary to what many of my friends thought, I usually didn’t put much thought into my gym wear. I was an old tank top and sweat pants kind of girl. I was all about comfy but now thanks to @adoreme great selection of sports bras, I’m cute and comfy. This one comes in two colors and I like the extra detail which wraps around. This is something I would happily wear to the gym, when I feel it’s safe to go back of course. In the mean time, I can comfortably enjoy really long walks all over the city, including the Piers on the west side. After being inside most of the summer, I’m trying to get as many steps in as I can before this winter hits! ⁣ ⁣ What do you usually wear to work out?⁣ ⁣ #giftedbyadoreme #astoriainheels #adoreme #gymwear #mamaoftwo #motherhoodincolor #workoutgear #thisismotherhood #miamimomblogger #mominfluencer #mamablogger #nycmom #workouttimefit #workout #stepschallenge #pier84 #workoutoutfit #walkingforfitness #fitness #AdoreMeSummer #gifted
CHLOÉ X CÉLINE MATCHING IN ORGANIC COTTON...⁣ ⁣ Did you know that September is organic month. The first time I wore a @wearpact dress was when I was pregnant with Céline. I was so uncomfortable that summer and their organic cotton maxi dress was such a lifesaver for me. Now, thanks to @wearpact my girls have their own organic cotton sets that make such a difference when getting them dressed. Chloé is very much a textiles girl and doesn’t like just anything on her body. She’s not a fan of dresses but loves shorts and how soft these are. Little miss CiCi loves dresses and I feel good knowing she is wearing quality fabric on her skin. ⁣ ⁣ Pact is an organic cotton clothing brand that is sustainably and ethically made. They make affordable organic clothing with the hopes to inspire change. I notice how different materials feel against my skin and I am trying to make a conscious effort to look for certain fabrics when I purchase clothes. It’s never too late to start thinking or talking about Fair Trade standards and ethical fashion in the market. ⁣ . Have you tried organic cotton on your kids? ⁣ #wearpact #gifted #astoriainheels #workingmoms #girlmom #toddlerstyle #workingmomkind #mommyblogger #nycmom #organiccotton #sustainablefashion #myhonestmotherhood #brownmom #womenofcolor #organicfashion #influencingincolor #melanin #kidsofnyc #diversity #nyckids #inclusionanddiversity #curlyhairkids #tinygirlgang #ethicalfashion #stylecollective #liketkit #instastyle #momstyle #momlife
