Here's a quick update on whats been going in my life and why I needed a Hiatus. I've just finished my first year of grad school and while that doesn't seem like it would be a lot... it has been. Also, Suzanne is starting off on her own adventure at the end of this month, but I won't spoil any of that for you all! <br />
<br />
Anyways, back to what today's post is all about.... Dry Shampoo!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7lgNzGtn9ILOMoIuYSeixhrdEtEcnThf89NTKAjDSEqDVjl7JvmVboEG6JRj1XFnEg60hMtsjAgODPRE14ZUKdWdWA-YOAS3IOV1cPSFkcGULResCm7yUB3UVgwnGSxwYWpkXj25tvD_f/s1600/1493026_2290496297338_2006220445_n-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7lgNzGtn9ILOMoIuYSeixhrdEtEcnThf89NTKAjDSEqDVjl7JvmVboEG6JRj1XFnEg60hMtsjAgODPRE14ZUKdWdWA-YOAS3IOV1cPSFkcGULResCm7yUB3UVgwnGSxwYWpkXj25tvD_f/s320/1493026_2290496297338_2006220445_n-1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">[All the dry shampoos currently in my hair drawer]</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Now lets be honest girls, washing our hair everyday is an absolute pain in the butt. It takes forever to dry and not to mention the heat on your hair everyday from the blow dryer + styling tools is not exactly the best for our hair.<br />
<br />
This leads us to the revolutionary idea of dry shampoo. I swear I owe a really nice gift basket to the person who ever thought of this product!<br />
<br />
Dry Shampoo is a powder formula that comes out in a spray that soaks up the oil in your hair to make it look freshly washed. At least that is what it is supposed to do...<br />
<br />
On the market there are several out there and each has its pros and cons. Some offer no white residue on your hair, but the price is out of this world for a can of it. While others are a great price but leave your hair feeling icky. You can find them in the high end sections or at the drugstore. So is there one that is really worth it?<br />
<br />
Yes! Ladies,<a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod3560065" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: small;"> Batiste Dry Shampoo</span></b></a> is my holy grail. They offer a variety of scents and even have some that are made for brunettes and blondes if you want a little color<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (not crazy pigmented or anything like that) </span><br />
<br />
It's priced around $9 but might vary from store to store. I know that in my city I have only seen it sold in our Ulta, So I linked the name above to where you girls can pick up some. It really is worth the money and saves you washes on the hair. The picture below is my hair second day with no filter using the dry shampoo. Trust me, my hair is naturally oily so this stuff is a life saver for me. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSKMCbqR0RTgBKnOb4al80XPr7fUzmrkcF0gBo7UDSq6XUCkr7g-s8CiyrLX0uaPnu8R2misWOZUhTEdBrubyWl0kkRjZ4MWFA5ReGUsV_z8aW87HNonjKtdiW8smPcv4ZQg3UMkx-QIy6/s1600/1491157_2290496337339_2016883138_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSKMCbqR0RTgBKnOb4al80XPr7fUzmrkcF0gBo7UDSq6XUCkr7g-s8CiyrLX0uaPnu8R2misWOZUhTEdBrubyWl0kkRjZ4MWFA5ReGUsV_z8aW87HNonjKtdiW8smPcv4ZQg3UMkx-QIy6/s320/1491157_2290496337339_2016883138_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Now I'm not saying that I have tried all the dry shampoos out there, but I have tried my fair share and I always come back to this and recommend it completely! It leaves my hair feeling fresh and without the white powder on my hair.<br />
<br />
So all I do to apply the dry shampoo is before I do my makeup or hair, I spray some of it all over my roots <strike><span style="font-size: x-small;">[where it is oily]</span></strike> and then shake it in like I'm washing my hair and then run a brush through. <span style="font-size: x-small;">[yep, it's that easy!] </span><br />
<br />
Go out and get you some girl.... skip the hassle of wash and dry and fake it till you make it!<br />
<br />
What's your favorite dry shampoo? Which one should I try next/review?<br />

This CD is just about the most amazing CD for this summer. Gabrielle Aplin is gaining a lot of attention recently and rightly so. Her vocals are stunning and her lyrics are pensive and breathtaking. Song writing like hers isn't very common recently. Some of my favorites include Home, Panic Cord, Please Don't Say You Love Me and Salvation <strike><b>(Though I really enjoy them all) . </b></strike>Go check her out, you will not regret it. </div>

This week was really all over the place musically. Some songs I have been playing on repeat (like mayday parade) and others I've just come to like (Tegan and Sara). Do you guys have music choices like that too? <br />
<br />

<br />
If you're like me then you love finding some new songs that quickly become the only songs you play over and over.<br />
<br />
So starting today, every <b><u>monday</u></b> I'm going to be giving you your daily dose of music, new & old, that I'm currently loving.<br />
<br />
I have to be honest I love just about every type of music so I'm sure that you'll find something you like! I'm going to try and post video links to the songs, if they are available. Alright enough of the chatter Jackie... get onto the music!<br />

This past week I have just been loving songs that make me want to dance <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[Imagine the carlton dance from Fresh Prince]</span> and songs that make my little heart smile when I hear them.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<br />
I'm always on the search for new songs so leave a comment telling me some of your favorite songs that you've been obsessed with recently!<br />

C'est la vie my fellow music addicts,<br />

I could say it all day long "h<strike>oliday</strike>...<strike>holiday</strike>...<strike>holiday</strike>..." Not only does it just roll off the tongue, but its the word they use for vacations! Who doesn't love a good a vacation?! Recently me and my family went on a vacay to the greatest place on earth. <br />
<a name='more'></a>If you said Disney World in your head than you shall be correct!! Since we live in the Sunshine State we got a deal for a three day, three park pass. So we started out our "holiday" with the <b>Magic Kingdom</b> :)<br />

Even though I have been to Magic Kingdom a lot in my life, the magic of it all never ceases to amaze or excite me! I decided to capture some different angles of the castle this time and I'm kind of obsessed with how they came out! </div>

Hi to all my faithful readers. I know its been real touch and go lately but I have exciting news! I'm MOVING! So with graduation, summer school, work and now getting the condo ready, blog posts had been put on hold. But now that I've had some free time I'm able to get back to you guys <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[thanks for putting up with our lack of posts] </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This fun summer bun is the perfect way to get your hair off your neck in the heat and add a little something special to your typical bun. The best part is... it only takes a couple minutes but looks like you took a while putting it together. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[it's all about faking complexity]</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Hair style: The Summer Bun </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Total Time: Less than 15 minutes </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Works best with: Long to medium, fine to medium thickness hair</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
-So start off by braiding a small section of your hair <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[ I used about an inch section above my ears relatively]</span> in just a simple regular braid. Tie that off with a clear elastic and leave it <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[DONT DO ANYTHING WITH IT UNTIL LATER] </span></b>Also pull out some pieces around your face you will use all of this later to finish up the look. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
-Then<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> [you can tease this next section before or leave regular, either way it will look great] </span>take the section of hair around your crown and above the ears and twist that into a medium high bun<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> [secure with LOT of bobby pins] </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
-With the rest of your hair, braid back into a regular simple three section braid going down your back <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[tie this off with another clear elastic] </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
-Then wrap that braid<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> [the one you just braided down your back]</span> around the bun you have already secured. Secure the braid tightly with bobby pins. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
-Then with the little braid you braided at the beginning, pull it back and pin. The elastic should be hidden, so you might have to tuck it in, remember it shouldn't be difficult. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[play around with it] </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
-Then finally curl the sections of your hair that you separated out at the beginning <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[ curl away from the face].</span> This makes your hair seem more elegant when it really took you less than 10 minutes. You can choose to pin back part of the curly hair to make the style more "flowy" <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[thats what I did] </span>or you can leave them at the front of your face. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And thats it! A pretty way to put up your hair for this hot summer! </div>
<div>

I know its been a while but the Hiatus is over! YAY! I hope all of your Easter's were as amazing as mine was. I spent some qaulity time with the family and per usual it was entertaining to say the least. I don't know about you guys, but one of the many things I love about Easter is seeing all the spring colors make their appearance boldly. <span style="font-size: x-small;">[Even the guys are wearing their pastel's of purple, yellows and pink!] </span><br />
<br />
Here where I live, it already feels like summer. I'm already exhausted by the heat some days! But today I have a pretty simple yet sweet manicure idea that will keep you in the spring mood, regardless of the weather around you. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb0dcDCvjCy7twRjmxBvwrdlgMJ6GTy1x0bXdG6V19iLY8QaoxzaTz01RLRg14uFdBeBJ5JPdeiQfo5wdKp-cVY9fCPc3AiM7mLD8EZOewcu7Jddu2t5wv21oMXfpcNnQtcOmD_4J6IjeW/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb0dcDCvjCy7twRjmxBvwrdlgMJ6GTy1x0bXdG6V19iLY8QaoxzaTz01RLRg14uFdBeBJ5JPdeiQfo5wdKp-cVY9fCPc3AiM7mLD8EZOewcu7Jddu2t5wv21oMXfpcNnQtcOmD_4J6IjeW/s320/photo.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>You guys should know that by now I get my nails done, professionally, but I did pick out the colors and tested the idea of layering. My lady was a little hesitant at first, but it turned out really cute!<span style="font-size: x-small;"> [cute by accident]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgbAk_3vo-I-KPi9Ep6mKmouP4s1qLqXq4s6iLu5dZSf9RXBT4i9emduuTVxvA_ky0SrhSjf5IWU2YPPdhaZKjfkjFfEmtPkzr32PK565oup0IQAmMhiZKbM5zBFiyQv7GiBoEs4CdqXGC/s1600/photo-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgbAk_3vo-I-KPi9Ep6mKmouP4s1qLqXq4s6iLu5dZSf9RXBT4i9emduuTVxvA_ky0SrhSjf5IWU2YPPdhaZKjfkjFfEmtPkzr32PK565oup0IQAmMhiZKbM5zBFiyQv7GiBoEs4CdqXGC/s320/photo-1.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[Without effects]</span></div><br />
So for the main coat, I used Sweet Heart by OPI. You will need probably two coats <span style="font-size: x-small;">[medium thickness]</span> to get it opaque. Then on alternating nails I used ONE COAT of Pink Before You Fall by OPI. Then finish up with a nice top coat and you're done! The subtle difference between the sparkle pink and glossy pink is so perfect for a simple unique manicure. <br />
<br />
Thursday I'll be posting a hair tutorial for all you girls who are looking for an easy way to get your hair up and out of the way, so be checking back for that! <br />

Hi lovelies, I have to tell you that I have really missed all of you! I haven't forgotten about you but life has been so busy that I barely have any free time!<br />
<br />
I've been really proud of myself today, I was actually really productive. I had the chance to be lazy and not do anything but I actually got lots of work done<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> [yay!] </span><br />
<br />
Since I became a TA at my school I have been <s>SUPER</s> crazy busy, but I have to admit I really like it. So tonight Suzie, K and I went to the library and had a little study date. I really needed to get work done because next week is spring break!! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[thank you Lord.] </span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
On a real note I am gonna post some new tutorials soon! I'm got some hair tutorials up my sleeve and maybe even some makeup tutorials??<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> hmmm maybe! :) </span><br />
<br />
So, how has your tuesday been? Have you been productive today or had a lazy day? The weather here as been so blah that its hard not to just lay around and nap!<br />
<br />
Anyways.... don't worry another post will be up by thursday night! So the question is, Hair or Makeup?! Let me know in the comments below.<br />

<br />
I have to be honest my lovely readers.... I've been keeping something from you.<br />
<a name='more'></a> Around July of last year, my best friends K, Suzie and I went out and bought two beta fish (for K's birthday). I bought one for me and Suzie & K bought one <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[they are sisters if you didn't know].</span> They bought a beautiful male beta, named Nazrat <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[lizzie mcguire reference for all true fans]</span>. And I bought my pride and joy that day. She isn't my first fish I've ever had but she is my first fish that is completely mine.<br />
<br />
I've been reluctant to introduce her to you guys because most people know that Beta's don't always have a large life span. Also, only a few months after K & Suzie had Nazrat, he passed away. :(<br />
<br />
So I've been a little nervous to introduce her but she is a beautiful part of my life and why not let you guys see one of my precious responsibilities!<br />
<br />
Isn't she the cutest?! Yes, she really is a beta and yes she is a female. The males are the ones who are really big and extra colorful... but I wanted a little girl.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFUMGtGi0qs558n_giRBRtXfiv8GK3CoWb94EuhDlXNDbRRkGIudlKbgM6v6DlKiwNACXrjTflkclmOC8C52tEpHqIB1_Ma1IqdlKJVPPbkziP5fjc2c66G1GAfligLAyhPo6DfClBbmlA/s1600/briarrose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFUMGtGi0qs558n_giRBRtXfiv8GK3CoWb94EuhDlXNDbRRkGIudlKbgM6v6DlKiwNACXrjTflkclmOC8C52tEpHqIB1_Ma1IqdlKJVPPbkziP5fjc2c66G1GAfligLAyhPo6DfClBbmlA/s320/briarrose.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
If you were wondering, her name is after sleeping beauty <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[of course, shes my fav]. </span><br />
<br />
Also, I'm sorry my blogging had been put on hold... getting ready for my last semester of college is not only as stressful as it sounds but it's also really complicated. But soon i'll be back in the groove and can post some more tutorials and TBBC updates :)<br />
<br />
How is your 2012 so far?? Are you already stressed?? Remember to pray for this semester and for others. Start the new year off right!<br />

Since it's less than a week before Christmas, I thought I'd share a really quick and inexpensive gift with you guys! This gift is perfect if you are buying for a group or if you just want something quick & easy.<br />
<br />
Read more to find out how I made these cute mustache mugs. You're gonna love them!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
To get started head over to a dollar tree, walmart, or target and pick up some really cute basic coffee cups/ mugs. The ones I bought were a beige/off white color. I then went to Michael's <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[which you guys should know I love]</span> and picked up a pen that writes on ceramics... the brand was called Pebeo.<br />
<br />
Now, most people who have bought the pen have great success with them... however, my pen must have been old because it was horrible. It didn't write at all and the paint was really gross. However, this is what I would reccommend to buy if you are doing this project, just pray you have better luck with them than I did. If it works right then you will be able to bake the cup and then people can drink out of them and the cups will be dishwasher safe!<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[sadly] </span>I ended up having to use acrylic paint... so it can't be washed so really they are more for decoration... but oh well they are still really cute and if you let them air dry I'm sure they would still work fine!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--1ux7ceUxM4/TvQYM8A8M0I/AAAAAAAAANk/xexYo1sRymI/s1600/mustachestencil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--1ux7ceUxM4/TvQYM8A8M0I/AAAAAAAAANk/xexYo1sRymI/s320/mustachestencil.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I used a stencil that I got online from Kandee Johnson, who made these cute cups in her video <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[and obviously was my inspiration]</span>, I'll link that video below:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdhbGxCEjN0">Kandee's Cute Mustache Mugs</a><br />
<br />
She is such a cutie and I adored this gift idea! You can get the mustache stencil from her blog site which is linked in the video above.<br />
<br />
Finally, I just traced in the mustache<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> [on the front]</span> and free handed the initials of the girls I was giving the cups to on the back<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> [It was a special touch]</span>. Sooo adorable and affordable. My kind of gifts. <3 <br />

Its been a little while since I've posted a hair tutorial so I thought why not today?!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> [since I finally have time... I hate school]</span>. Over 2 months ago I posted about a no-heat braided updo. I literally learned how to do this hairstyle about 30 minutes before I actually tried it out. Now I don't recommend to do that at all.. but I was feeling adventurous that day. I needed a quick hairstyle that looked like it took a long time yet didn't require me to dry my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[very long and thick]</span> hair. Anyone remember that post? Here's a picture to remind you!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Gnf4Qs-xYu8qnk9aNWxFqzZUgk3-cGcIMTcYma94pi1vF-G9h3cxkdd0TUuaw8QIADrZOQhZCnhGpns8RGn3KZUQVmWd3iT_iZP0zYW6tH5orI4cmMJGa_3JfKYf864gVmG48FFj-t1b/s1600/No-Heat-updo5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Gnf4Qs-xYu8qnk9aNWxFqzZUgk3-cGcIMTcYma94pi1vF-G9h3cxkdd0TUuaw8QIADrZOQhZCnhGpns8RGn3KZUQVmWd3iT_iZP0zYW6tH5orI4cmMJGa_3JfKYf864gVmG48FFj-t1b/s1600/No-Heat-updo5.jpg" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Gnf4Qs-xYu8qnk9aNWxFqzZUgk3-cGcIMTcYma94pi1vF-G9h3cxkdd0TUuaw8QIADrZOQhZCnhGpns8RGn3KZUQVmWd3iT_iZP0zYW6tH5orI4cmMJGa_3JfKYf864gVmG48FFj-t1b/s1600/No-Heat-updo5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a name='more'></a></a><br />
So here's how:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAAH6XzhQDY_SfITtCroy21H-vzQpOW7bSWmGAw9llsR1c4AIgj_NwfQUvQ_HaQYLIVycprOBmBNmaBT2DNlrjDfcRrPv85IJr63UgepLc0Rxh39EjTZ-D4TjEf63OO2sKWIL0Sdv_EdHX/s1600/NoHeatUpdo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAAH6XzhQDY_SfITtCroy21H-vzQpOW7bSWmGAw9llsR1c4AIgj_NwfQUvQ_HaQYLIVycprOBmBNmaBT2DNlrjDfcRrPv85IJr63UgepLc0Rxh39EjTZ-D4TjEf63OO2sKWIL0Sdv_EdHX/s320/NoHeatUpdo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>1. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[Picture: top left]</span> Part your hair the way you like it and then section it into two sections and braid your hair into normal pigtails. I used a clear elastic to secure each pigtail. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[you can find these at Sally's, target, just about anywhere!]</span><br />
<br />
2. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[Picture: top right] </span>With a pigtail in each hand, bring the two towards the back of your head and tie them into the first part of a knot <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[make sure when you tighten it flat to your head] </span>then repeat again <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[if you have short hair you may only be able to cross the pigtails once] </span><br />
<br />
3. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[Picture: bottom left] </span>Then using <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[lots of]</span> bobby pins, secure the pigtails in. I hold where the elastic is and secure there and then work my way around the rest of the updo. This secures the updo to your head. I like my look to be hanging low rather than up high like a bun.<br />
<br />
4. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[Picture: bottom right] </span>Add pretty clips or other accessories to cover any pins and to glam it up!<br />
<br />
And voila! you have a "complicated" updo that only took you around 5 minutes. The best part is that it works best with wet hair! It would probably work best with fine to medium hair and the longer the better. Because my hair is so thick... it can be tricky to bobby pin it up, but it can be done! This hairstyle is great for glam girls on the go! <3<br />
<br />
C'est la vie my little busy bee's.<br />

Happy sunday everyone! I came home early this week and both of my kitties were laying together on my bed and I had to take some cute pictures with them. As always Middie loved every min. of it and Knight well... the picture speaks for itself. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[They are loving lazy Sunday's] </span>Anyways I've been so lazy today as always, so I thought i'd be productive and put up a post.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
How has your weekend been??! Mine has been pretty awesome. My parents were gone celebrating my dads 50th birthday, so I took care of the house <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[like a responsible adult]</span>. I had my best friend come stay with me and we basically had a sleepover party! We watched chick-flicks, ate junk food, laughed about stupid stuff... the usual. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[Yeah... we're mature] </span><br />
<br />
This weekend... I picked up the next book for the TBBC. As most of you know, I've been reading the book One Day... however that book just did not catch or hold my attention. I thought I would love the story line but I ended up getting bored and confused half the time. So... my little book worms I have to say that I am not on the bandwagon with that book. In fact, I've moved on....<br />
<br />
... and I am already LOVING my new book, Water for Elephants.<br />

So many people have been raving about this book and even the movie! So I'm excited to see if I love it or hate it. Have you read the book already? Seen the movie?? Let me know in the comments!<br />
<br />
C'est la vie all my lazy lovelies,<br />

This by far is one of the cutest projects I have done and one of the easiest!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>What you will need <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[I bought everything at Michaels craft store]</span>:</b><br />
A canvas <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[any size you want]</span><br />
vinyl 2'' letters <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[I used the helvetica font ones]</span><br />
A ruler<br />
A pencil<br />
Spray Paint <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[color of your choice]</span><br />
Ribbon<br />
Gorilla Glue<br />
<br />
<b>Heres how: </b><br />
Start with a blank canvas<br />
I then drew straight lines<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> [lightly]</span> with a pencil and ruler to keep the letters straight<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
then I applied the vinyl letters... make sure that all the ends of the letters are sticking on there good<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD3bqKgqV2o10Kyrwu0XMV8k-1CnYlG3HUWwGpLZt_dfrpvrrvGw9ssVoNzzv2Dws_QlD4Bj-EFz_FYXwXOE4NRnYOkFUl69xUuWM_yYVUyoZxmwnSnMDntgMTef9vMDDM7xye5JdKKZ06/s1600/IMG_2688.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD3bqKgqV2o10Kyrwu0XMV8k-1CnYlG3HUWwGpLZt_dfrpvrrvGw9ssVoNzzv2Dws_QlD4Bj-EFz_FYXwXOE4NRnYOkFUl69xUuWM_yYVUyoZxmwnSnMDntgMTef9vMDDM7xye5JdKKZ06/s320/IMG_2688.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Then I painted a coat of spray paint and let it sit for about 30 min.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGhdUQHenZp-jRA5ZSPNxVAxTMknLzgMl37gXr9daaBT-nRoIhzbY-Ns4Yps79z4jLc73bl__tlcnFsuxlmqS9OPexNA4AOtCRX_yBeg6nTMNyj0Hht1PYma4Bywb-cN1ai0TVQphKSPWh/s1600/IMG_2690.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGhdUQHenZp-jRA5ZSPNxVAxTMknLzgMl37gXr9daaBT-nRoIhzbY-Ns4Yps79z4jLc73bl__tlcnFsuxlmqS9OPexNA4AOtCRX_yBeg6nTMNyj0Hht1PYma4Bywb-cN1ai0TVQphKSPWh/s320/IMG_2690.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
After that, I just peeled off the letters and tied the ribbon in a bow and used the gorilla glue to hold the ribbon on the back so that my little could hang it in her dorm room! And thats it! How cute and easy. I want to do this for my room too but I haven't chosen what I want it to say. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[I'll think of the perfect thing soon]</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBB-Zrk9pFXEVpKg_IV9nysV4RDYn83NcG4ytNbkA8XOzn6At6Sy6b4fLKSbp12263UoPqt_saK1_KWwBXlpBrRcI3WPUjyMyAzM1k9EOWqtdfxI2dY8ki2GUs6wW0u1BEtvhaCeVH4QSL/s1600/IMG_2693.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBB-Zrk9pFXEVpKg_IV9nysV4RDYn83NcG4ytNbkA8XOzn6At6Sy6b4fLKSbp12263UoPqt_saK1_KWwBXlpBrRcI3WPUjyMyAzM1k9EOWqtdfxI2dY8ki2GUs6wW0u1BEtvhaCeVH4QSL/s320/IMG_2693.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>I used a bible verse for my little's gift but you could use a song lyric, your favorite poem, or just your favorite quote. So adorable! <3<br />

In the spirit of Halloween I decided to make a pumpkin. I can't remember a memory in my childhood of making a pumpkin and my family doesn't do it every year. Sooo this Halloween I insisted that I carve a pumpkin. :)</div><a name='more'></a><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">You would think it would be an easy process to find that special pumpkin...but it wasn't in my town. Saturday night I went out to start my search and the two closest chain grocery stores were <strong>out of pumpkins.</strong> My sister and I took it as a sign and decide to continue the search later. Sunday night rolled around and we decide to call around. <strong>None of the grocery stores in my town had any pumpkins! </strong>There was only one Wal-Mart that had a few left. Well taking what we could get we got the best one we could find and went home to carve. Well this is the finished product :) I really enjoyed finally creating a memory of carving a pumpkin. How was your Halloween? Did you have any Halloween fails? </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Lots of Love,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3dO80bZ1RGZ9M5wV3lUZDqPmHGu2Yh7LvonlVHet1latfumjvHVKcoanIdW-E6Ji25598k0kBecyfpVFHKcfIpwMZy6QmPz7524cWlsvcVMvpZMSeQC1_H4P1KI_SQUNR3ZMJ-Db4ajBH/s1600/suzie.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ida="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3dO80bZ1RGZ9M5wV3lUZDqPmHGu2Yh7LvonlVHet1latfumjvHVKcoanIdW-E6Ji25598k0kBecyfpVFHKcfIpwMZy6QmPz7524cWlsvcVMvpZMSeQC1_H4P1KI_SQUNR3ZMJ-Db4ajBH/s1600/suzie.bmp" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

An upperclassmen gets a freshmen and we become like a mentor to them and spend time getting to know them and really develop a friendship.<br />
<br />
Being a senior this year, I really appreciate having the opportunity to connect to some of the freshmen this way because otherwise I honestly probably wouldn't. Not because I don't love the freshmen <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[actually I'm kinda jealous of them... they are just starting such an amazing experience]</span> but simply just because senior year is <i>CRAZY BUSY</i>!<br />
<br />
Anyways! When I found out who my little was <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[and yes i will refer to her as that!]</span>... I was OVERJOYED! Honestly, she's the best. So because I was so excited, I wanted to make her gifts...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> [because if I was a little I would want gifts.. and who doesn't love gifts?!] </span><br />
<br />
So [PART one] of the gifts I made her was this crafty Chalkboard Mason Jar. She loves the color coral so I found the color closest to coral and went for it! I saw the idea for spray painting the mason jars on Pinterest and went from there. So it's super easy and honestly not that expensive!<br />

</div><br />
<br />
Heres How:<br />
<br />
1. clean out some old mason jars...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> [check with your parents or find some old ones... my parents just had some lying around the house.. I think most southern families do ;) ] </span><br />
<br />
2. Section off... using tape and newspaper the part that you don't want spray paint to get on.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> [ this is the part you will want the chalkboard paint on]</span><br />
<br />
3. Spray paint... I used more than one coat and then I also used a matte spray paint finish over it to really get a clean look. The brand of spray paint I used was Krylon and you can find it at Michaels. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[This is usually the time consuming step.. waiting for the paint to dry in between coats]</span><br />
<br />
4. I let it sit over night and then painted [with chalkboard paint] two coats of the chalkboard. Let that sit for 24 hours.<br />
<br />
5. To finish it off... I tied a ribbon in a bow with matching colors to not only her room color (yellow) but also with the coral. Also, I painted white dashes around the chalkboard part to really tie it all together. Perfection! <br />
<br />
And there you go... rub some chalk on it and you're done!<br />
<br />
You can use this for flowers, holding pens, holding makeup brushes or even just for decoration. :)<br />
<br />

Then shake the glitter over top the glue spread section. <strong>Before shaking the excess glitter off</strong>.... press the glitter into the shoe with your fingers. Shake the excess off now and move on to the next section of the shoe. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIibuY2DtRB_ypVL6v_cmrKVuJo-9o8simgQrczO7GVF6URLUqZijzSqu3AErMwGdcEDIfrGgZD4F9QqldoDFrX0AqPNGuG9EMEikFa6Getlu7m_8oOK7MRZC0hwxiPdao_19aY_sL7u1c/s1600/finished+product.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIibuY2DtRB_ypVL6v_cmrKVuJo-9o8simgQrczO7GVF6URLUqZijzSqu3AErMwGdcEDIfrGgZD4F9QqldoDFrX0AqPNGuG9EMEikFa6Getlu7m_8oOK7MRZC0hwxiPdao_19aY_sL7u1c/s1600/finished+product.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIibuY2DtRB_ypVL6v_cmrKVuJo-9o8simgQrczO7GVF6URLUqZijzSqu3AErMwGdcEDIfrGgZD4F9QqldoDFrX0AqPNGuG9EMEikFa6Getlu7m_8oOK7MRZC0hwxiPdao_19aY_sL7u1c/s320/finished+product.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Let the shoe dry for a couple of hours and then go back over the spots where the glitter is thinner.

I wore my first scarf of the season! <br />
<a name='more'></a>It hasn't really been that cold here, so for a while <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[even though its "fall"]</span> I couldn't justify wearing a scarf. But finally we had a bit of cooler weather and so I busted out one of my favorite scarfs.<br />
<br />
I have to admit it's not mine... it's my moms! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[See, I told you she was more trendy than me.]</span><br />
<br />
I wore it with a white v-neck 3 quarter length shirt and jeans with my gray Keds. This scarf has so much detail that pairing it with a simple shirt and jeans works perfectly.<br />
<br />
In other news, I'm sorry this post has gone up so late in the week... usually I write my posts during the weekend and post it by monday but I was at DISNEY this past weekend <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[should I do a post about it? possibly] </span> and so I didn't have the time to write a post.<br />
<br />
But finally I had some time to check in with you guys! Anyways, I'm leaving you with an adorable picture of Middie-lynn. She wants you to see her in all of her beauty! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[Shes currently laying next to me... and she approves of my picture selection]</span>. She's so spoiled.. but oh soo cute!<br />

<br />
So, how is your week going so far? Is it scarf weather where you are?? If it is.. I'm so jealous of you! I'm craving cool weather here so I can start wearing all my cute winter clothes.<br />
<br />
C'est la vie to all my cold weather people!<br />

My sunday was absolutely perfect. I actually had some free time to write about one of my newest obsessions. Patticakes.<br />
<br />
This new amazing cupcake/coffee <s>adorable</s> place called Patticakes just opened up in town and its sooooo delicious. Not only are the cupcakes amazing but the coffee is wonderful too.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVDouU0n9dVv9M-PPio5KQAw8ccchYZMKUMjmx3JppKRPaoTNS1wsCqdbIyEVLmlyppWAwDkaix9QaSBdHfqrN3La_1NuhzUE8oGjz5oyjuNn0KYw5lGaUiLdE21Ngr1mTvqRgydfxdf4O/s1600/patticakes2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVDouU0n9dVv9M-PPio5KQAw8ccchYZMKUMjmx3JppKRPaoTNS1wsCqdbIyEVLmlyppWAwDkaix9QaSBdHfqrN3La_1NuhzUE8oGjz5oyjuNn0KYw5lGaUiLdE21Ngr1mTvqRgydfxdf4O/s320/patticakes2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

I have to admit... I'm slightly addicted. Not only is the food and coffee DELISH but the atmosphere is so wonderful. Who doesn't love a cozy coffee shop with yummy cupcakes?<br />
<br />

I thought about it the other night when I wasn't having such a good day... my mom brought me home the cupcake and I wondered to myself... has anyone ever eaten a cupcake and been mad? <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[impossible?! i think so.] </span><br />
<br />
My addiction is still going strong... the other night we went back to get some more cupcakes after my mom and I had dinner at this cute little restaurant a block away <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[we ate outside and it was so perfect... yes my mom is cuter than me... i've accepted it. This is us trying to decide what we should get since it all seemed good!]</span><br />

</span><br />
<br />
...well after we ate we ended up getting coffee instead of cupcakes. I got a yummy caramel frappe of sorts. UGHH so good! Ladies and Gents you have to go check this place out. And while you're there you must meet Ashley <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[one of the wonderful people who works there.. she's about the cutest thing ever!]</span><br />
<br />
This trendy little secret part of town is perfect for a girls night out, date night, or just a wonderful saturday night in general!<br />
<br />
I love finding new spots in my town that instantly become one of my favorite places to go. Where are some of your favorite places to go in your city? Next time you go out... try some place new and then tell me all about it! oh by the way.. Happy Monday, Im off to school... <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[and dreaming of cupcakes] </span><br />
<br />
Dont forget to check out Patticakes and like them on facebook! <3<br />

I cant even begin to tell you the stress i've been putting on myself recently! I'm sorry its been over a week since my last post. <span style="font-size: x-small;">[BTW have you guys tried the twist braid yet? how did it turn out?]</span> Recently I've been all about the Messy Bun. I cant get enough of it because its quick and gets my hair out of my way. Its been so hot here lately that my hair has been driving me crazy...<br />

I even used my backpack! Senior year is starting to set in and I can tell it's gonna be a whirlwind already.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> [ps I know I look like a dork.. and i'm really okay with it.]</span><br />
<br />
With the stress of school, job, relationships, friends, family, grad-school, and life you can see how it can all pile up and last week just felt like an overload. <br />
<br />
So how am I sorting out my messy life? Heres a few things that have gotten me by this past week...just some simple things that we often take for granted. <br />
-<strong>Prayer</strong> <span style="font-size: x-small;">[thanking God for what he has blessed me with and relying more on him.]</span><br />
-<strong>Friends </strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">[relying on them more and more... thank you for everything this past week and in general]</span><br />
-<strong>Family</strong> <span style="font-size: x-small;">[ a constant support system in my life]</span><br />
- <strong>A good planner.</strong> <span style="font-size: x-small;">[this is my baby. Where would I be without it? A good planner can keep you in perspective of your week... it keeps me on a nice schedule and reminds me of anything I might have forgotten.] </span><br />
<br />
<br />
How has your past week gone? How is your week going? Are you stressed like I was? Take a min. of your day and remind yourself of all the wonderful things going on in your life. Take a moment to breathe and then keep going! <br />
<br />
C'est La Vie for all the Wonder Women out there.<br />

</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hi guys! Today I'm finally letting you guys in on one of my favorite [easy] hairstyles! I first saw this look on thebeautydepartment.com and I was dying to learn how to do it! Hopefully this tutorial will help you guys learn how to do this cute twist. <3 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1. Start with a section of hair at the front [ i use my shorter fringe section of my hair... but you could use your bangs or just the front section] </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2. Separate this section of hair into three equal parts [like you are going to do a normal braid] </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To make this more clear [and easy for me] we will label the 3 parts of this section as: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b> 1</b> is the closest piece of hair to your face </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>2</b> is the middle piece of hair </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>3 </b>is the back piece of hair </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3. Drop <b>2</b> straight down out of your hands and then take <b>1</b> and twist it around <b>3</b> [you are bringing that piece of hair (<b>1</b>) over (<b>3</b>) which makes a twist]... then pull it tight! I like to twist it twice sometimes to give it a really twisted look. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4. Pick up another piece of hair [ which becomes the new <b>2</b>]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">5. Drop the new <b>2</b> and again take <b>1</b> and twist around <b>3</b>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">6. Pull tight and even twist again [depending on what you like] </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">7. Once you've twist-braided to the length you like, pin it back. I use a really cute bow clip that holds really well. I got it in a set of 2 from Forever21 for about $3. I use them almost everyday. They are perfect! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">8. You're FINISHED! Its that easy. Trust me... practice makes perfect so try try and try again. Once you get it... its so simple you'll want to do wear it everyday <3</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Try it out! I hope this was helpful for you guys... let me know how it turns out for you. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">C'est la vie,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
