But these will.

How to Get Big Barrel Curls





Time:  15-20 minutes
Supplies:  brush/comb, 1" curling iron or wand, hairspray
Difficulty:  medium


I get asked all the time how I curled my hair like this.  

But I took
the picture two years ago, 

and I didn't happen to film it that day.  

So I just did.  And ever since I compared the my hair now to this picture, it's confirmed it.

Monster Headphones Giveaway (you'll thank me later)





This post is brought to you by:  

Monster Headphones  and  BlogHer




It's October, and to me, that means it's time to start


Christmas shopping.  

I always start my shopping this time of year for three reasons:

1.  Prices are usually lower instead of falsely inflated in December.

2.  The kids are at school and it's easier to shop without them seeing what I'm looking for.

3.  I'm

Jasmine Ponytail





Time:  5 minutes
Supplies:  brush/comb, 3-7 elastics depending on hair length
Difficulty:  easy


I wish I had hair like Jasmine from Aladdin, but

Ode to fall:

I love you, but I'm sad to see the summer go.





I'll miss the tall alfalfa fields so brilliant green on every side of my house (thanks to my farming neighbors)



I hate parting with my magic petunias.  

I didn't even plant them last spring and somehow they survived the harsh winter and came back on their own. 






I'll miss this view out my bedroom window:  fresh baled

Rolled Waterfall French Braid





Time:  10 minutes
Supplies:  brush/comb, bobby pins
Difficulty:  medium+


My cousin wears her hair like this all the time
