Sock Bun

When I first saw the sock bun, I must say that I wasn’t that impressed. I didn’t know what the big deal was. To me, it just looked like a big bun on top of your head. Then,, after I learned how to achieve a good sock bun I can see now that it is still a big bun on the top of your head, lol. Although It is very cute and comfortable. You can make it look like a perfect ballerina bun or you can do the opposite and have a more controlled messy look.

With my hair being curly I went with a more messy look today but don’t worry, you can still get the same or a similar look with straight hair.

Here is what you will need:

A old sock

Scissors

Bobby pins

A ponytail holder

Here is the video showing you just how I do my sock bun.

I have to be honest with you, the first time I heard of a sock bun I didn’t know that use used an actual sock. Have you ever tried to wear a sock on your head a sock bun? I have to admit it is a lot of fun to do and even more fun to wear.

Until next time, I am

Cleaning Your Tongue

I talked before about keeping your teeth clean, fresh and white. What I didn’t mention was the the importance of cleaning your tongue as well. We spend so much time brushing and flossing our teeth to help keep our smiles big and bright, but nobody even mentation’s our tongue. Our tongue is kind of like the keeper of our mouth, everything that goes into our mouth has to touch our tongue. It is only natural that we should have to clean it regularly as we do our teeth.

Here is a short video explaining just why it is so important.

Do you have or use a tongue cleaner? If so, what kind do you like to use?

I appreciate you sticking with me for these 31 days of Beauty Tips. There are still a lot more to come!

A Poofy Ponytail Made Easy

When I look at someone wearing their hair in a poofy ponytail I immediately think of fun and flirty. It is the type of hair style that says “Oh this old hair style? I only wear this when I don’t care how I look” and yet they worked pretty hard to get their hair to look like that. I remember the first time I saw someone with their hair in a poofy pony and I wanted to know how to do that. So naturally, being the type of personality I am, I went ahead with out a doubt in my mind that I would get it right the first time. Well, maybe the second or third. Fine, it took me a while to figure out how to master that style. Although now that I have mastered the poofy ponytail with a few simple steps, I have decided to share with you what I wish I knew then.

My hair was curly today although you can achieve the same style on straight hair.

Here is the video showing you just how I achieve this style.

You will need a few things:

Prosante Finishing Spray
Unite Volumizing Powder

One Clear Elastic Band

A Pick / Teasing Comb

Bobby Pins

Wouldn’t you agree that after you saw the video the poofy ponytail seems to be so much easier and achievable? I would love to know how this has helped you. Maybe you can leave a comment sharing your experiences? Well, I hope that this video helped you. If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Until next time, I am

Thinning Your Mascara

Why is it that every time I buy a mascara it seem to last less and less? I feel like they don’t last as long as they use to. It wasn’t until I learned these few simple tricks that I finally started to realize that I was doing it all wrong. Now that I have learned these tricks I just can’t keep them to myself so I thought that I would share them with you now.

Here is a video showing you some of this remarkable tips.

It is very important to change out your mascara every 2 to 3 months. Bacteria can easily slip into your bottle while taking the wand in and out. It will also dry out the mascara faster than it should if it is over used.
