HOT TOT'S Trauma-Free Techniques

Let's face it, we love our kids but hair do's and cuts can often be a daunting task. petitePARADE VOGUE Bambini Kids Fashion Week official hair sponsors, HOT TOT shares tips and tricks for parents to deal with these far to common morning difficulties.


We break down their tips and tricks into 3 easy steps!
 
 
1. Select a Place Where Your Child Will Be Happy.
Hot Tot suggest, "If you're styling a child who is old enough to sit up, choose a place where they can focus on something other than their hair." ie.  a highchair so your child can be snacking at the same time. Or on the counter by the bathroom, so water can drip on their toes.       
 
 
 
2. Have The Right Tools.
Given the tots sensitive scalp, avoid using an adult brush. Using a soft brush, a wide tooth comb and a spray bottle filled with water is always helpful. If your tot has finicky tangled hair, try Hot Tot's Condition Detangler.  Additionally, foam curlers are a safe alternative to heat style, where you can achieve the same look without any risk!
 
 
3. Choose a Hairstyle.
While the amount of hair your baby is born with can vary greatly, a simple curl is always suitable for any gender. A headband or clip can help distinguish gender. Pig-Tails and bobs are always favorites for girls. Where side parts and faux hawks tend to be a fav for little boys.
Take a look at HOT TOT's website for hair ideas!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 


 With a specialized formula, safe ingredients and holding a social and sustainable responsibility beliefs, HOT TOT's is something you can definitely feel good about when styling your tot's hair.

Recommend Reading: Children of Israel

     While you may not normally pick up a coffee table book for a bedtime story, Children of Israel, by award winning photographer Luca Zordan and international fashion stylist Alethea Gold, should be the exception.

   Compiled of moving photographs, set behind beautiful Israeli landscapes, and a range of diverse stories by children in a variety of cultures, Children of Israel proves that peace is possible.

    Even more, 100% of the book profits will be donated directly to the Nurit Absorption Centre in Beer Sheva, an organization that assists Ethiopian refugee children. The Nurit Absorption Center has agreed to use 100% of the funds specifically to fund schooling, sports and art activities for the children.

With a book this great, it is no surprise why we are so delighted about its release. And any parent can attest that there is no greater love than the love for your child, so sit with your children and go through this book together. Continue Children of Israel's mission to spread love and compassion that children so naturally carry in their hearts.

    Take a scroll through to seek a peak inside and read stories of some of the children.










To learn more about the Children of Israel book visit : www.childrenofisraelbook.org/ 
 
 go buy it now! Available on AMAZON
 
 

Zordan and Gold have teamed up before on similar projects creating Children of China and Children of Africa: South Africa Edition.

Childrens Boutique with an Arts & Crafts Focus


     It has become abundantly clear that the DIY/Art's and Crafts movement that we are in, will unlikely fade any time soon. And why should it?!
  
     With a new push on the appreciation of the 'hand crafted', be it done your self or by an artisan, consumers have been craving one-of-kind treasures. Allegria Boutique  located in the very current area of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, is taking note. 

Their DIY persona and Pinterest worthy ascetic, can quickly inspire any on looker into becoming a scrapbooking queen!

With its doors first opened on September 6th, 2012 owners Lula Aldunate and Melanie Gomez have developed a store concept that perfectly suits the creative mothers of  Williamsburg and surrounding areas.

Specializing in clothing and toys made from international and local artist, Allegria offers one of a kind treasures for the children at heart.

Carrying some of our favorite brands like Stella Cove, Allegria has curated a delicate selection of children's clothes.

       But Allegria is much more than just a clothing store. Selling many eco-friendly artistries from around the world, it is easy to find one of a kind treasures from beautifully handcrafted home décor, textile and stationary.



Honing in on their DIY-ness, Allegria cleverly thought of many other ways to maximize on their brick and mortar space. Not only is this a place that mom's love to be in, but kids enjoy their time here as well. With a wall meant for writing, the chalkboard wall is a favorite for the artist kid within.
 Like a gallery for children of all ages, with so many charming qualities, it comes to no surprise that we have selected Allegria Boutique is a store we want to highlight.

Child Prodigy : DJ Kai Song




Children really know no boundaries when they are given the freedom to explore their interest.

No one told DJ Kai Song  that he had to wait and become an adult before he could start being a professional DJ.

With the full confidence to grow and learn, at just 9 years old, DJ Kai Song has quickly become a favorite amongst the DJ community.  
Most of all, he is completely adorable and can really speak to what he does in the most professional manner.

Photographer Kymberly Marciano had the opportunity to sit down and speak with DJ Kai Song when she saw him at last falls Petite Parade & VOGUE Bambini Kids Fashion Week, where he DJ'ed several shows, including the Target, and Swarovski events.

Here are a few facts about the DJ Prodigy she learned:

-The first song DJ Kai ever listened to was Yellow Submarine by The Beatles. He described the song making him feel,  "happy and want to sing".

-Growing up on a house filled with DJ equipment, (his 'papa', as he calls him, owns a DJ rental company) DJ Kai remembers being 2 or 3 when he started to ask for DJ-ing lessons.

-He is just like any other kid! After he is done with school, DJ Kai will participate in a number of  extra curricular activities, including soccer, Taek-Won-Do football and tennis! He also really enjoys playing with Lego's.

-What's on his iPod : He is currently listening to Tiesto: United, Zedd: Clarity, Krewella: Alive.

-Most inspiring of all, when asked what advice he would give to other creative kids, "you have to have a passion for what you are doing. And practice a lot!"  That's advice even the child in us can put to use.

This makes us wonder, what other amazing things can kids do when we don't put limits to their imagination?
