1/2-up Funnel Twist






I had the BEST day yesterday!




My mom and sisters and sister-in-laws (and that makes 9 of us) always get together on the Saturday before or after Mother's Day and just have a day off. Because let's face it -- being a mother is the most wonderful and rewarding thing I have ever done, or ever will do. But it's also exhausting emotionally and physically. 

A day off to pamper yourself is

Wet Hairstyle: Sleek Rope Braided Ponytail






So I don't really have any clever post ideas or funny stories.

I started working as a
house cleaner/gardener/

horse & dog caretaker.



It's a great gig.



I also took second place in JV state for our relay team. Woohoo!



Other than that, I had wet hair today and needed a quick style.

That's it.  Maybe something exciting will happen soon. 



Like I'll get kicked by one of the horses

Super Easy Blunt Haircut Tips





So it's morning.

It's Sunday Morning.

And it's Mother's Day.




Being a mom, I know you rarely get a day off. You've got laundry to do, a special dinner to make for your mother, and mother-in-law. Homework for school tomorrow.

But I wouldn't trade it for anything.



I love waking up to a soft kiss on the cheek. Or a hug after school. And an "I love you, Mom."

Nothing Better.



So if

Thin/Short styles: Using a Fat Curling Iron for more body






We always get requests for thin/short hairstyles 

that make
your hair look thicker. 

Any hairstyle we do with Lanie can be used for thin/short styles. But this one also gives it a beautiful, full look. 



We used a 1  1/2" curling iron. Nothing fancy. 

It's just a Conair for like $17.

And we use it for everything. 

It's quick and easy.



Her hair has natural wave, and unless we blow

Puff Braided Ponytail






I'm usually a good cook. But last night...




The whole family was in the mood for a treat. So we decided to whip up a chocolate cake with hot fudge. 



I usually have a cake mix on hand, but I only had lemon. No problem. I googled a chocolate cake recipe from scratch. Bella sat at the computer and read  me the ingredients, while 

I threw them in the mixer.



The cake seemed to cook

Clip in bangs - Zooey Deschanel look

Hey everyone! Today is a very special day here! It's the day before Easter and everyone is painting egs and just enjoying this great sunny weather! And since I'm feeling very excited, I thought that I should post something also very spring inspired - the Zooey Deschanel inspired hairstyle!  This tutorial I've found on Bobby Glam and I must say, all of their tutorials and posts are absoloutley amazing! All very nicely put together, I love it! I also have to say that the girl in the tutorial used a clip in fringe that you can buy in their shop here.



For the full tutorial, here is the video! 
It's a very classy look, prefect if you want to try something new! And while creating this hairstyle, don't panic if the moment you put you fringe in place it doesn't look good. 
It just needs a little ajusment and practice. Soon I'll
post a similar tutorial also incuding bangs, but created
in a different way, so untill then, have fun creating this,
fun, edgy but still very classy hairstyle!

Happy Friday friends!

Side Swept Pin Curls






This look is so versatile.

You can wear it casual with jeans, or
dressy for a night out.



I love it because it's a wonderful second-day hairstyle.



It works best with some left over curl in your hair. 

You can try it on straight hair, but it's harder to hide your ends. 

Or you can do it with wet hair. (Wet ends hide much better.) 

Curly ends are the best, though. That way, 

if they
