Weekend Style: Jason Wu

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.  Mine was a little less than horrible!  I hate to say that because things could always be worse but it wasn't too enjoyable!  My mom had a falling incident in the middle of the night, followed by an ER visit to make sure nothing was broken.  Poor Peyton had a fever on and off and kept throwing up on my free time in the middle of the night!  Oh... and I was on call for work and the poop hit the fan!  But don't cry for me Argentina.  I made it to Tuesday and  praise God everyone is doing well now!

On the bright side, we attended a graduation (Yay Sherica!) and my oldest sister was in town for the weekend.  The graduation was when Peyton started to get ill.  You can tell my baby doll wasn't feeling well in these pictures but she was a soldier trying to get her pose on!

I Cut {Trimmed} Peyton's Hair

When you know you are having a little girl, all you think about is the pretty dresses and cute bows they are going to wear.  I didn't think one second about what I would do with Peyton's hair!  Now she is here and her hair needs to be combed!  I think I have done a pretty decent job with her hair for someone who barely combs their own hair!  Peyton's hair can be a little challenging.  Curly, kinky and wavy all at the same d*** time!  Peyton's ends started to look shabby, I knew it was time for a trim.  I hit up my baby hair guru, Baby Big Hair for tips!  She sent me the link to her post about trimming her daughters hair HERE.  

Black History Month at Macy's + New Hair Do!

Hair Products Peyton Hearts

Peyton has a lot of hair.  Her hair is a work in progress but I am asked all the time what I use in her hair.  Looks like other moms have the same issues.  The popular "Baby" shampoo's never worked for her.  When she was born there were no options like Cara B and Shea Moisture for babies.  I had to try other products more suitable for her hair.  I'm not ingredient obsessed but try to stick with products that are free of parabens, sulfate and harsh alcohols.  You should definitely use what works best for you.  Here is a little info about about the ingredients.

Parabens: Preservatives that can mimic estrogen.  Estrogen and babies doesn't sound like a good mix to me.

Sulfates:  Detergents that produce lather.  Can cause eye irritation, dry skin and tangled hair.  I will use a product with sulfate every once in a while for a deep cleaning. Not for weekly washes. 

Harsh Alcohols: Evaporate quickly and will cause dry hair cuticles, therefore drying out the hair.

Here are some our favorite products that we use on the regular and why we heart them!  Of course not at the same time! LOL! Depends on the style.
