Easy-peasy, Fly out the door Hair (Look of the Day)

 So I have learned a new fabulous way to make hair last and look finished and Fab, for 3-4 days.  With two kids now and one being small more then 5 min showers are a luxury that i afford 2ce a week, so I obviouly cant wash me hair more often then that :)
I found a new technique where you use hairspray instead of back combing to add lift and volume...and tweeked it to suit my face shape and favorite hair styles and i came up with this:
- you hold the hair up and spray section by section/ or layer by layer for lift, where you want it.  you brush it out every evening and the hairspray acts as a kinda dry shampoo for me (but I have coarse, dry, curly hair) and a humidity barier....which cuts down stying time too.

You can change your style every day and look fabulous simply brush out your last "Do" and spray in a new one LOL...

you can do a bump, or and updo, or a let your hair be just down and a few well placed bobby pins and good to go in 3 min flat!

 5 min if you add mascara and conceler for those sleepless nights, throw on a pair of earings and you are stylin' and ready to run!

Hope you like it!

How to apply false Eyelashes

30 for 30 Hair - day 2 :)

So here is number two in the series!

I LOVE the simplicity and that it is also stylish you can wrap the end of the braids with anything ribbon or lace, or something sparkly :)
Do something that is your style and enjoy the simple chic style










Here is my version of it :)

Mine didn't Turn out quite as polished as the other one, but I'm a country girl and love me some braids :) and actually i didnt start with wet hair....I like it tho there was more volume which my face needs, from the pin curls i did the other day.This was really fast and easy to do, good for a busy mom or before work.

Hope you like! :)

New Nails style

So I was shopping in Wal-mart the other day and of course found myself in the beauty section and roaming thru all the pretty things and as i rounded a corner to my favorite isle containing manicure supplies and Rimmal displays accompanied by hard candy and wet n wild as well, I saw it, stick on mani's  I always wanted the sally Hanson nail strips to work for me but they doooooonnnn"tt! So i thought i would give these a try as they eliminate the drying time of polish and i have a toddler so that is a no go at this point unless i do it after she sleeps.  And you they are fabulous take less then 3 minutes to apply and stick on great!  I do dishes and lots of things that kill my mani's in 2 days tops and they lasted great...I did find that eating curry and butter chicken like we normally do at home and out, (with fingers) did make the glue loose some of its gusto tho and one nail was loose so I took it off other then that they stay on great!  So you may want to eat north American style and use your utensils while you wear them.

Sooo, it's 8 days till Christmas and I am going like crazy to finish my homemade gifts...I have two more big projects, one medium one.  I have a sewing prject left to finish and A TON OF WRAPPING to do!  AHHH!  I am oficially stressed out.....So I was suppossed to post the dishes with mehndi/henna designs i have for sale but didnt have time to take pics yesteday, so i will try to get them up tonight.  But for right now, since i am stressed and rushed I am posting some lovely shoes!  and other nice things to break from the hustle and bustle and enjoy a little sparkle or two ;)...

They come up with the most amazing shoes now!  They are like a work of art....I am starting to understand my sisters obsession. :)











And now for some Mehndi that I love, I have had requests for mehndi for the holidays and these have been some of my inpiration as i warm up for some fun get togethers.

 SOooo, like any good glamazon, I have been thinking how i will do my hair for Christmas gettogethers and the Big C day, and these are some things that I have been deciding on...I really really really love the first one but will have to practice if it will look anyting close to that Lol....so I cant decide between half up, all up or all down and great accessories.......

 How are you doing your hair for the holidays?  What inspires you?  Any makeup Ideas?
A Very Merry Christmas to all!



 

Delish Designs

So!  I've been drooling over a dress in the fall people style watch for awhile now and it is on my list of things to make "something like that", as I absolutely cant seem to follow a recipe to the letter or a pattern for the matter either, which is why cooking works out great for me and baking well not so much :)....My sister is the great baker in our family. Any how back to my dress inspiration for my next project when i finally get my holiday list of "to make" out of the way..............Is THIS!...

Isnt this a fabulous dress!  I love the skirt idea which is what i am planning oon doing something like that with the under skirt and 2 slits, but in a different color and material and top pattern as I live in a cold winter place :)

Aren't these beautiful!  I loved these when i was browsing and had to share....aparantly I am feeling like holiday party wear, and such.  I love the
 season and all the time we make for family and friends this months.  That's what Christmas is all about isn't it, and its even more fun when you have pretty things to wear to the functions :)  I love being a girl so much, is it great?

ALSO!....I saw this variation on a circle skirt...and just last night I was thinking in my sleep about making a skirt like this, and how it would turn out! So it was ironic that i came across it today....in a not so busy season it would have been a sign...LOL.

Braided Beauty

 I am really loving the braids that seem to popping up everywhere for the last few seasons.  I wish I was better at getting the short fuzzy curly hair at my hairline to stay in nicely so i could wear them more often, but i really need to work on my skills. LOL.  SO here are a few of my favorite looks and inspiration of late.  One of my cousins always seems to have her braided nicely in many different styles, I might need to do some more practicing my technique.  Anybody have any tips for getting more polished smooth looking braided do's??  I have always liked these "around the hairline" braids but i think you need a friend to do them properly. :)

                                                                                               

Fashion and fabulous-ness ;)

So I have been really noticing people personal style lately (or lack there of)...and it gets me thinking that in all the striving to look perfect in some form or another that us ladies go thru everyday, I think the most important thing is your state of mind. :)  I think a good dose or self-worth, and bunch of sassy-ness and a touch or crazy, with a pinch of hotness (but not too much) thrown in for good measure make up a wonderfully fabulous look, for any woman, and it can't help but turn heads! :)  People will look because you are confident and lovely, men will look because of your grace and fun attitude, and ladies will look too (c'mon you all kno we check each other, to either compare, or take note for look-lifting for our own future use), to see if you are friend or foe....please try not to add so much hotness that you are an enemy rather then friend to other women.  We are important to each other, as friends, support, encouragment and ,....babysitters LOL.

I think it is very important to know yourself well enough to choose some fun, eccentric, pieces as signatures to be worn very often.... a favorite braclet (or stack of them), or necklace, or ring, watch, shoes, makeup look, OR all of the above that are just totally YOU!  Its great to play wth different looks and styles, and i think even as christian woman it is important to enjoy our femininity.  but also important to keep it to enjoyment and not obsession.....which is way to easy to slip into with all the constant pressure on women to be perfect all the time.  But in reality it is impossible to give "Beauty" a check list or specifiac recipe, there are more types and kinds of beauty then we can think of, which is why it is so important to celebrate the kind of beauty God has blessed you personally with, dont fight it, emphecise it, own it, work it girl!

So here is some food for thot.....some things that I think are beautiful and FABULOUS!....
