It’s A Holiday Unboxing! Mielle Organics Teams Up With Netflix’s Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey
It’s my favorite time for cozy sweaters, special edition starbucks drinks, and the newest string of family Christmas movies. Normally, my grandma’s Hallmark favorites would be the star of my streaming activities, but Netflix had other plans.
In traditional “hold my eggnog” fashion, the streaming platform livened up my holiday with their first Black-inspired live action musical called Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey. A nod to the culture, this Black directed, produced, and written holiday classic followed the stories of inventors Jeronicus Jangle and his granddaughter Journey as they mended family ties and found the magic that lives inside of them.
In addition to the Black excellence displayed for the culture, one of my favorite features in the movie was the hair. Every actress in the movie was natural with lucious, long hair in these intricate styles! So it was no surprise that Netflix teamed up with Mielle Organics for their natural hair inspired campaign, “Rooted in the Holidays.” In addition to digital interviews and a multi-part adventure series featuring special appearances from Jingle Jangle producer Lyn Sisson-Talbert, actress Phylicia Rashad, Monica and Mielle Organics CEO Monique Rodriguez, the partnership featured a special edition holiday box! And being that ya girl has the plug, of course I got my own full of beautiful holiday hair swag! (Cardi B Voice) Eooooowwwwwwww!
Before you take a walk down this unboxing journey with me, I just want to make a few things clear. It’s the presentation for me! It’s the quality swag for me! It's not having to go to the store and replenish because God and everyone in the warehouse just knew your girl was running low for me! (Shout out to the Mielle team! Lol.)
Just in time for Christmas, Mielle sent me this beautifully designed Pantone blue box featuring graphics of characters from Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey character and a few of your Mielle Organics favorites. Upon opening the box, I was greeted with a custom letter from Monique Rodriguez, CEO of Mielle Organics and a mixture of Black-owned products and commemorative swag from Netflix’s Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey.

OJI ROYALE Los Angeles
Now I want to start this section off by saying...the partnership snapped when they included this cultural statement for my people. Mielle and Netflix gifted me with a large satin scarf, the baby scarf AND a satin and suede finish durag from OJI ROYALE Los Angeles! I just want it to be known that my edges were both snatched and secured by this beautiful display of Black excellence that I found in my box. Not only will I be cute at night, but so will my future bae in his matching suede durag! (Cue a Lori Harvey meme.)
