Shiny Side Bun & Lace Braids~ my look for today

Hi friends,

My hair seems really shiny today for some reason~ a nice surprise :-)  Maybe it's my new Long Term Relationship HE shampoo & conditioner...I love that brand!  This hairstyle is two lace braids with my hair slightly poofed up in the center, and a side bun.  Thanks so much for coming by to see my pictures from today!

Beehive Bun and Jewel Clip

Hello friends,

I hope you have a beautiful Sunday!  This morning I piled my hair high in a bun, then added my new jewel clip to hold it all in place.  (I did have another tiny hairclip underneath to create the center poof, and a larger hairclip holding my bun from the inside.)  This is one of my favorite looks when I want something fast but still impressive.  I don't do it very often, so it's always new and different.
     As always, thank you so much for coming by to see my new post!  Have a wonderful week, my friends.

Rock Climbing with Bella



For my English class, I was assigned to make a video and
power point presentation on something I like doing, and can teach my class.



I chose rock climbing.



My dad was a huge climber ( I say "was" because he would still like to, but doesn't have the time anymore).  But he's taken us lots of times over the years.



The video is pretty cheesy. But I figured, most of my YouTube subscribers
