Video Tutorial – Elisabeth Johnson

I can’t tell you how many times in my life I have always gone back to some sort of side bang. I try to grow them and I always seem to cut them again.

Bangs and side bangs are awesome for so many reasons; I love how they can frame out a face and can change up a style without being too dramatic. They look good styled up and down. You can also style them with curly hair or strait hair.

One of my favorite ways to style my bangs is in this pin back poof. It is the easiest way to style your bangs and anyone can achieve this poof with only one bobby pin… Yes you read that right, only one bobby pin!

Here is a 2 minute tutorial showing you just how I achieve this style! (For all of my E-mail subscribers, Click Here to watch the video)

Start with any hair style where you want to pin back your bangs.

Grab a section of hair from the middle of one of your eyebrows to the middle of your other.

Pull the hair off to the side and twist it away from the face. (You can even pull it straight back and achieve the same type of look.)

With the open end of the bobby pin (facing the back of your head), grab a piece of hair and twist the bobby pin around so that the open end is facing the front of the head.

With the opened end of the bobby pin facing the front of the head, insert it into the poof.

There you have it!

This is seriously a super easy way to pin back your side bangs or bangs and it looks great every time!

It is really that easy. Never underestimate the power of a professional bobby pin! This is only one of the many ways you can style your bangs.

Is there a particular way you like to style your bangs?

If there is one thing that you just couldn’t go without during the Christmas season, what would it be? Ok, let me narrow that down a bit; If there is on type of treat that you just could not go without, what would it be? I know what mine would be. I wait all year for cranberries to be in season and then I buy a bunch and freeze them for the rest of the year. Who am I kidding? They never make it more than a few weeks in my house. This is a recipe that we have been using for years. It is simple but delicious!

Here is a short video showing you just how I made these delicious cranberry muffins.

You will need:
1 ¾ Cups All-Purpose Flour
½ Cup Sugar
2 ½ Teaspoons Baking Powder
¾ Teaspoon Salt
1 Beaten Egg
¾ Cup Milk
⅓ Cup Cooking Oil
1 Cup Coarsely Chopped Cranberries

I cut the cranberries into fourths and they turn our perfect.

In a large mixing bowl stir together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center. Combine egg, milk and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Stir just until moistened; batter should be lumpy. Fold in cranberries.

Grease Muffin cups or line with paper baking cups: fill 2/3 full. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until golden. Remove from pans; serve warm. Makes around 12 muffins.
