Share your style!

I signed up a while back for a fun Share Your Style Swap, basically you get paired up, figure out what the other person likes and send them a hair goody that is both a little them and a little you. I got paired up with Jenn from One Thrifty Chick . It seemed we had pretty similar style with the exception of her just chopping her hair to a cute shot cut and mine is getting longer by the minute! So with some web stalking and some hair clip making skills I whipped her up a fun little clip and sent it on it's way.

A few days later I got a box in the mail, much larger than I would think you would need for a cute little hair accessory... turns out she not only sent me a cute headband, she sent me a fun hat too! I feel super spoiled!

So, here is the fun headband

And the hat!

I started feeling silly taking pictures of myself... can you tell!?! LOL!


This was super fun and will totally do it again if they do another one!
Here's a link to the party so you can check out all the other swaps!

Hair...

I seriously feel overwhelmed looking thought the beauty section on pinterest. Do people really DO their hair like that everyday?! ... seriously?!?! Am I alone in this?
I think I'm just not used to having such long hair. I try to braid my hair and feel dorky, not cute! BUT, I continue to pin, keep on trying, and hopefully one day I can be an awesome hair do-er too!

Here's some hair inspiration I've been drooling over.

None of these seem to be too hard, but it never quite comes out right.

...it never looks as cute!
One day, I will get it. Until then it's simple curls and messy buns!

Do you have any great hair tips?

Bad hair day turned good

Ever have those days where you wake up and think 'why do you hate me hair!?'  Well, I did today.  I woke up to a stringy mess of hair.  I decided to try (again) to wash my hair every other day, so it was kind of expected.  The bad part is I never really do my hair, at least not for work.  I just let it air dry, or pull it into a pony.  I keep it simple.  But today I had to DO my hair.  lol.  So, a few handfuls of baby powder (yep, baby powder! it's a blonde girls best friend!) a bit of teasing, clipping, and covering with headbands I actually got a pretty cute do!

Messy and fun.  Maybe I'll start 'doing' my hair more often. =)

OH!  I found out today that my team did win our costume contest!  Yay us!
