Hook this Hippie Headband

Theses hippie headbands were all the rage a few years back but if your like me you still love to unleash your inner peace lover and rock these headbands. The only downfall to being in love with an older trend is the lack of the product in stores and my dog chewed the others that I had previously owned. I for one wasn't gonna let this keep me from wearing this headband, so my way of thinking is "if you can't find it; make it"! This is a little DIY project so you can sport this free-spirited headband all you want. For this you will need...

A pair of scissors

Some type of string

Assorted beads and charms

 

For this I used three pieces of thinner string. The first step was to decide were i would like the front charms to be placed. Once I found that I added a few of the assorted beads.

 

 Afterwards, I decided that to help the beads  stay in place i would create a small snake braid on each side. 

Then I secured the braids with knots and added various beads at the end of each string (also tying knots to secure the beads).

and

 Finally the headband is complete, all you have to do next is determine the placement on your head and secure the headband with knots. :)

All instructions are optional and I encourage you to be creative with your headband. I know I love having unique things and although this is "out of style" I will still rock it with pride! I hope you also don't let others determine what you believe is cute. Who cares if its "in" right now? As long as you wear it with confidence then you are all set!

Love,

Curse of Curves

Many woman are blessed with full figured bodies. Unfortunately, with the curves comes chafing. This poses a problem for many females while wearing dresses, skirts, or shorts. After playing volleyball for many years and going through the torture of the irritated skin, my sister let me in on a nifty trick that will help sooth and prevent the awful pain. Before going out, take deodorant and apply it to the affected area. I promise you this will prevent the chafing and will feel 100 times better than before.

Tie it Up with a Bow

Every since I lied my eye on this hair bow made of actual HAIR, I fell in love. Although my style isn't as out there as Ms. Gaga's, I still wanted to try this cute hair trick. So I toned it down a bit and went with a smaller bow. 

For this you will need: 

                                                      (small rubberbands preferably clear ) 

                                     (Bobby Pins I went with blonde since I have blonde hair)

            (Lastly Hairspray. I prefer Got2b Glued Freeze Spray because the hold is Amazing!)


I wanted my bow to be off to the side so I decided to do a rope braid to put the hair to the side. To do this I just parted my hair into the section I wanted to make into the bow, then I took two pieces of hair and began twisting them adding more to each side as i went along the hair line (like a french braid). After I finished that I made one loop (See below). 

Then I proceeded to make twist the rubberband to secure the loop and then pulled majority of remaining hair through to recreate another loop.

There will be a little tail left over, which I prefer to wrap around the center of the bow. Then you pin the loops down with bobbypins. 

After you pin them down, spread the hairs in each loop to fluff out the bow. After you have fixed your bow to your preference then use the hairspray to keep the bow in place and style the rest of your hair as desired.

So there you have it ladies! Let out your inner Gaga and rock this hair bow with confidence.


Love,

Poppin' Pout

Bright colors like pink and orange covered lips are all the rage this summer. I was beyond ecstatic when I found the two perfect shades for me. Both shades are from the Revlon Moondrops Lipstick line; the lighter of the two is Blase Apricot and the other is Hot Coral. Both shades are available are drugstore for $8.30. I fell in love with this lipstick the moment I put it on. Application is smooth and it feels as if you're lips are naked. I found myself reapplying after a few hours but that also could because I'm used to reapplying my chapstick. Also while wearing the Blase Apricot shade I was complimented numerous times and asked what the name of the shade was. I absolutely love this lipstick and would recommend it for any girl looking for a bright hue to wear on these hot summer days.
