So today...

I tried this hair do...



I'm in love!

 I slept in french braids to get the waves, and then in the morning i styled my hair like that. 

Okay, so it didn't turn out perfect... but it was REALLY cute, and super fun. I'd defiantly recommend trying it.

Fish Tale!

I love this braid!

So so much easier than it looks, and useful too.

Personally, I think its fun paired with feather earnings, or a plaid shirt, but any way you do it it is LOADS of fun!

I'd recommend tying your hair off in a pony tale on your first time a round, then braiding it. Try to keep your chunks of hair pretty even. Spry it with a little bit of water if you're having a lot of trouble.

iLike...

Glitter!

On everything, and anything.

iLike it sooo much, the dust in my tower is glittery.

Want some ideas for using it?

1. Eye Shadow

I know you can buy sparkly eye shadow, but it works so much better to just use really fine body glitter. I got mine at Clarie's and I just dust it on my eyelids with my fingers. If you don't put on any eye shadow with the glitter, the glitter will stick better.

2. With Modge Podge

When you put on a modge podge finish, you can sprinkle a tiny bit of glitter in for a special flare.

3. Homemade Glitter Toes

Paint  your toes with clear coat, sprinkle on glitter, let dry, brush acces glitter off. Repeat untill to your liking, then put a few coats on so that it is a smooth final product.

French Braid Tips



Personally, I think it is the most useful hair technique I know. 

Here is a link if you don't already know how. If you do, here are my tips to improve your do. 

1. If you are going to do two braids on either side of your head, part you hair into two pig tales. Tie the opposite side off , and start braiding the loose side. This way your part stays nice.

2. I like to French braid my hair when its wet. Sometimes I even run moose through. Both these things better the results. 

3. Grab even pieces as you go. This makes it tighter.

4. If you want to sleep with them in to make your hair wavy, try the inside out french braid. Put curlers on the ends of you braids, this way all your hair looks wavy.

Modge Podge Helps

I love Modge Podge. But, it is a learning experience. Here are some helps so you can avoid annoying mistakes that I have made. 


1. Don't use a brush the the bristles will fall out of as you are using. If bristles fall off, PICK THEM UP AT THAT MOMENT. If not, they will become sealed in to your finish. 


2. It is really hard to put glue on top of modge podge. For example, don't do a layer of paper, put modge podge on, then try to glue something on top of that. Instead, Glue all your layers down, and modge podge ONCE. Side note- You can hot glue on modge podge. 


3. If you are gluing paper on the surface you want to modge podge, try really hard to get all the edges down, and  pull it tight and flat. Note: Things will look more wrinkly when wet, but when they dry, they will become flatter. 


4. Paint the modge podge the same direction, this way if you have brush lines, it looks nice. Or, do a design, like zig-zags, or swirls. 


5. Always cover your surface:)


Lots of Love,
