class="content__text" Wash & Go Details: I used @ilovethedoux Bee Girl Collection to wash and style. I used the #supersonichoneycondish as a leave-in along with the #crazysexycurlsettingfoam to achieve these results. Here I’m just refreshing second day curls with the #honeyshinemist - It was an INSTANT facelift for my lackluster curls 💛 Have you tried this line before? #washandgo #washandgohair #naturalhairdaily #taperednaturalhair #taperedcut #naturalhairjunkies #curlscurlscurls #curlsfordays

class="content__text" I couldn’t let this #internationalwomensday go by without acknowledging the amazing, beautiful & fabulous ladies that have joined me over the years on a C+C trip ❤️ From 2018 we’ve bonded in St. Lucia, Antigua, Costa Rica, Turks & Caicos, Mexico, Guadeloupe, Barbados, numerous wineries stateside, and soon St. Maarten & Anguilla (this July) I am truly grateful for each of these experiences with these wonderful women and can’t say “thank you for trusting me with your vacation” enough! Interested in joining the next one? Sign up via the link in my bio and I’ll see you on the sand soon 💯 #sisterhood #blackgirlstraveltoo #girltrip #caribbeantravel #melanintravel #grouptravelspecialist

class="content__text" Let’s talk about this vacay hair… These were medium knotless braids done by @retrobraidsnyc . Mid-back length, these only took about 4 hours. I curled the ends on medium sized rods (the orange ones) myself to give these braids a little more razzle dazzle and pizzazz ❤️ #knotlessbraidsnyc #mediumknotlessbraids #protectivestylesfornaturalhair #vacayhair #naturalhairdaily #braidsgang

class="content__text" Our group stayed at @dreamscuracao and I LOOOOOVED my ocean view. I truly enjoyed waking up to this lovely sight every morning ❤️ Afrobeats + my balcony + sun = 🥰🥰🥰 The resort definitely caters to the American tourist - there were 110 volt outlets in the rooms and even Lipton tea was available during breakfast (in my travels I’ve found out that Lipton is actually bottom of the barrel tea and most international resorts don’t carry it, so I get a little excited when I don’t have to whip out my own tea bag) Don’t get me wrong, I love a good tea but sometimes I just want my Lipton 💯 #dreamscuracao #curaçao #blackgirlstraveltoo #blacktravelfeed #blacktravelista #grouptravelspecialist

class="content__text" Jan Thiel, Curacao 🇨🇼 Let me first say I had a hard time finding a quiet spot near the beach here. This was my coveted spot @papagayocuracao - it was quiet (most times) and whenever it got too hot I jumped in the pool (which was behind me). I stayed here all day: reading, thinking, listening to music, sipping & snacking… Just enjoying my ME time ❤️ #janthielbeach #curacaoisland #beachvibes #beachhunter #melanintravel #blackgirlstravel #passportheavy

class="content__text" Klein Island, Curacao 🇨🇼 An uninhibited island about 15 miles off the coast of Curacao (aka “Klein Curacao” which means Little Curacao) is about 1.2 square miles and an unspoiled beauty to behold. Things to see on this little piece of paradise include the old lighthouse and a shipwreck. There isn’t much to do other than admire the beauty of the island, tan and eat - our catamaran, @irietourscuracao prepared us an AMAZING lunch! The ride from Curacao to Klein is about 1.5 - 2 hours and the waters are EXTREMELY choppy (several ladies in our group lost their breakfast). Definitely pack the #dramamine #curacaoisland #kleinisland #melanintravel #blackgirlstravel #knotlessbraids #knotlessbraidsnyc #protectivehairstyle #vacationhair

class="content__text" I’m always happy when I’m surrounded by water… I definitely agree with #beyonce on this 🌊 The ocean is so vast and powerful, I can sit and stare at it for HOURS. Definitely therapeutic for me. #bimini #biminibahamas #virginvoyages #cruisevacation #blackgirlstraveltoo

class="content__text" Here’s a perfect example of the Cinderella Effect: During vacay vs. being back at the airport (heading home) 😣 It’s so worth it though. Ladies, we ALL need that time to escape, be at peace, be reflective and just feel good about ourselves ❤️ Let me know if you agree! #antiguaandbarbuda #hodgesbayresort #minigetaway #knotlessbraidsnyc #protectivehairstyle #protectivestyles #blackgirlstraveltoo #blacktravelfeed

class="content__text" I’m of a certain age where I don’t enjoy sharing my personal space with anyone while I’m traveling #sorrynotsorry 🤷🏾‍♀️ What I love about #hodgesbayresort is that they offer suites with multiple bedrooms. Each bedroom has its own bathroom too ✅ It’s the perfect place to travel with friends or to even work remotely. Did I also mention it’s only about a 10 minute ride from the airport? Perfect for a quick weekend getaway. #antiguaandbarbuda #hodgesbayresortandspa #caribbeantravel #beachresort #blackgirlstravel #minigetaway
