Loose Beach Waves

When it comes to curling hair, there are so many different types of curly hair style you can do. It all depends on what type of curls you are looking for and what hair type you have. You also have to think about the length of your hair and decide if it will work with the curl you want to achieve. Not to mention what size curling iron you will need to achieve which curl.

I have a number of posts coming that will show you just how to answer all of those questions.

Although for today I am going to be showing you another type of curl that I absolutely love! This style is great for medium to long hair. It gives a very soft, more natural look. I love this look for everyday but I guarantee when you put on a little black dress you will blow people away.

Here is a short video showing you just how to create these beautiful waves!

I also love the simplicity of these curls.

Do you like to wear your hair curly? Would you like more post about curling hair for all different hair types and finding styles that are more achievable for you?

I hope this help and I can’t wait to hear how you it turned out for you. So please share!

Wrapping Your Christmas Gifts!

I love the idea of the entire Christmas season, there is so much joy in the air. I love the smell of all of the freshly baked cookies, the sound of the Christmas music in the background and the beautifully wrapped gifts under the tree. Gifts are a great way to show someone just how much you care about them. What I love about wrapping a gift is the excitement on the persons face who you give it to. When a gift is wrapped nicely it almost makes the gift a little bit more than what is inside. I can’t tell you how many times people have complimented me about the wrapping on my gifts I give. Not only that, now people have been asking me to wrap their gifts for them.

Here is a video showing you just how I wrap a a Basic Box.

I love adding thing to the top of my gifts. It not only adds a pop of color but to make the gift look finish and complete.

This year I used different kinds of peppermints, bows, flowers and ornaments.

My siblings love helping when it comes time to wrap.

Cleaning Your Nail Polish Bottle

When you are working with nail polish you need to be very careful so you don’t spill any polish on pretty much anything. I hope I am not telling you anything you haven’t herd already. Nail polish is the one thing that you don’t want to spill on anything because it is so hard to get out. Even Shaklee Get Clean products might have a hard time cleaning up nail polish and they can get out everything!

So what happens to you nail polish bottle when you get nail polish all over the top? The top gets stuck to the bottle and it is next to imposable to get open. Unless you use this technique that I am about to show you.

Here is a short video showing you just how to open a bottle after it is suck shut as well as a way to keep it from getting stuck again.

You might want to also check out my post on painting you nails to look professional every time.

I am telling you that this works, try it and see! Let me know how it goes. Good luck and happy painting.

Homemade Hair Bands

Who will agree with me that a women can not seem to get more than a few uses out of her tights before something happens to them? They always seem to snag on something or get a whole in them where they can no longer be used. I thought to myself there has to be something else I can do with these tights besides just throwing them away.

Before I knew it I ended up with an entire bag of ruined tights. I then remembered someone once telling me that you can use them for many different things including hair bands. So I decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did. I always seem to lose my hair bands and this was free to make my own. Win-Win!

Here is a short video showing you just what I did to make them.

Will someone please tell me that I am not the only person that misplaces small hair accessories? I will either lend them to someone with no intention of getting them back or I just flat out leave them in places they don’t belong and forget where I put them. Either way I find myself always buying more each time I am at the store.

Once you are all done turning your tights into hair bands you are going to need a place to put them all so you won’t lose them like I use too. I like to store mine on a Mason Jar turned upside-down. They fit on there perfect and you will never lose them.

This is a great way to keep your hair or bangs out of your face!

Do you find yourself in the same situation I was in? Do you think this will help you to be able to not only reuse your tights but save money as well? What else do you do with your old tights? I would love for you to share or even post a link.

Thanks for reading.
