52 to Fabulous - Week 1 What a Girl Wants

Wow tough question, so what DOES a girl want?

Our goal is to write down our top 3 choices each week..

What this girl wants is:

1. I want to be healthy

2. I want my home to be a happy place

3. I want to be surrounded by positive/happy people



Healthy

This means, making healthier choices for myself as well as for my family. Healthy eating starts in the grocery store not in my home. I will purchase healthier items for my family. I will get more exercise and teach my children the importance of healthy eating. I will get my husband to see the benefits of exercise and get him to participate in some sort of physical activity at least twice a week.



Happy Home

Making my home a happy and healthy environment. De-cluttering my home from top to bottom. (I have already started this process) Keeping my home neat and organized on a daily basis. Teaching my children how to clean up after themselves and how to help with household chores.


Friends and Family

I will weed out those people that are negative in my life. I want to spend time with only those that bring something positive to my life. Whether family or friends, I will re-enforce the positive that I see in them..

My list could probably keep going but with the limit of my top 3 choices it was tough.

What do YOU want?

Happy Girl Hair: Natural Haircare for Kids



I have two girls who have enough hair for 5 or 6 people. It is thick..it is curly...it is beautiful and I have struggled over the past few year with how to manage it. My 7 year old wants to wear her hair down everyday...NOT.....my 4 year old really doesn't care too much but doesn't like the detangling process..thus SCREAMS at me when I do her hair. We wash and DO the whole hair "Thingy" once a week...and that one a week, is like a 6 hour process.


1. one girl gets in the shower, I add the shampoo..we wash

2. We rinse and wash again

3. We do conditioner...and its not working good enouh

4. Screaming as conditioner is in her eyes...

5. We do a DEEP conditioner....leave on for 10 minutes (yes we are wasting water..as the shower is still going...they sit and play while the conditioner is in, like they are in a jungle under a water fall)

6. We rinse....

7. We exit the shower and the Detangling Process begins...between 30 min to an hour..depending on how much they wore their hair "DOWN" that week

8. Blowdrying (40 minutes) or just braiding (my choice...and only 10 min)

....and then we start all over again with girl #2....and in between I take care of my 5 month old...

So I was EXCITED and wanted to do back flips when Sam's mom sent me to this site! YIPPEE, check it out and show her some LOVE.

..and she has the right name for her site...HAPPY GIRL HAIR
