Professional Side Ponytail {2 Minute Style with Video}

There are so many days out of the summer where I like to wear my hair up or off of my neck. This is one of the easiest and fastest styles that I know.

This is one of my go to styles that takes less than 2 minutes. It is so easy that anyone could achieve this style.

Here is a short video showing you just how I achieve this style in under 2 minutes.

You are only going to need 3 things to complete this hairstyle: A comb, a clear elastic and a bobby pin. First you need to tease your hair and pull it all off to one side.

Take your clear elastic and tie it around your hair.

After it is secure, separate the ponytail in half and pull them in opposite directions to tighten then ponytail.

Once you have your hair pony in place, use the back of your teasing comb to lift up the hair away from the head. I love to have extra volume!

Last but not least, take a small section of hair from the ponytail, wrap it around the clear elastic and secure with a bobby pin.

I hope that this helps and that it makes sense. Do you find yourself running out of quick hair styles and end up wearing the same old ponytail every single day?

How to Tease Your Hair… The Proper Way! {Video}

I can’t tell you how many people have asked me to teach them how to tease their hair. When it comes to adding a little height to your hair you want to make sure you don’t leave it looking messy. There is a big difference between teasing your hair and creating a rats nest. I really is a simple process of sectioning the hair, creating a cushion and smoothing it out.

Here is a video showing you how to tease your hair the proper way in under 4 minutes!

Take a section of hair around your part line that is about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.

Insert your comb directly in the middle of your section of hair and comb downward.

Do this on both sides of your head.

Don’t forget the back of your head. By now you should have teased the entire crown of the head. (Do you like my natural Ombre going on back there? I haven’t had a full highlight in, I don’t know how long But don’t worry I am getting a full before the wedding!)

As soon as you finish teasing to top of your head. Start to smooth out your hair with the end of your comb.

Making sure you smooth out the top of your hair is one of the most important parts of teasing your hair. You want to make sure you don’t comb out all of your tease.

I personally think that with a proper tease you can not only create volume to your hair but you can also create fullness to thin or fine hair.

Have you ever had issues teasing your hair? Did you find this video helpful?

I would love to be able to make more videos on tutorials that you would like to see. So please let me know anything that you would like me to share and I will put it at the top of the list to post.

Thank you so much for reading.

A Cute Way To Display Your Headbands {Mission Organization}

Growing up with 4 sisters has it’s perks. Most of the time we are able to share our clothes, accessories and everything in between.

I love taking something simple and making it look beautiful. Today I am going to show how I took an old oatmeal container and made it into a headband holder in 5 easy steps. If I can do this, anyone can!

Here is a short video showing you just how easy this is!

What is in a Shaklee 180 Smoothie?

If you can’t tell by now, I LOVE drinking Smoothies for breakfast! I love trying new recipes and sharing good ones with all of you. Well in doing so, I have been getting so many people asking me for more information about the Shaklee 180 Weigh Management Program.

I only like to talk about the things that I love and I would never share anything with any of you if I didn’t think it was amazing! I used the entire Shaklee 180 line and it completely changed my life forever and I never want to go back to how I was. In fact, in 2010 I lost 28 lbs and 19 1/2 inches!

I dropped 5 dress sizes, I went from a size 16 to a size 6!!

So how does this have anything to do with the smoothies? Well, these are Shaklee 180 Smoothies. These smoothies are pretty much amazing. You have heard me time and time again telling you how great they taste, although I don’t tell you about all of the good stuff in them. They are packed with nutrition and protein!

Just take a look for yourself:
