The Rope Twisted Pinwheel Bun!

Hi Guys! I am back and today I will be teaching you how to do the Rope Twisted Pinwheel Bun.

Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 ponytail holder, 1 bun maker {matching color of hair}, 4-6 bobby pins, hairspray and accessory {if desired}.

Time Requirement: 15-20 minutes

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Begin by placing hair into a high ponytail…
2. Next, take your bun maker {matching the hair color} and, pulling the hair through it, slide it down to the base of the ponytail…
3. Now let the hair fall down evenly over bun maker…
4. Create a little separation on one side of the bun, where you will begin the rope twists…
5. Next, pick up a small section of hair and divide it into two small strands…
6. Now, twist both pieces each in the same direction a few times, and then twist them together in the opposite direction {this is the standard rope braiding technique, and you should only need to twist down about 4-5 inches or so}…
7. Then, you will reach two fingers down through the middle of the bun maker, grabbing the twist you just created, and pulling it up through the middle of the bunker…
8. Now untwist any  ends,if they are still twisted at all, and pick up some additional hair to combine with your strand…
9. Again, separate the section of hair into two strands, making sure to divide the shorter strands evenly with the newly added-in hair…
10. Repeat Steps #6-9 until the entire bun maker is covered with the rope-twisted strands…
11. When you get to the last rope twist, pull it through the bun maker and then rope twist the ends all the way down the strand…
12. Now, take the end and wrap it under the bun, around the ponytail holder, and bobby pin it securely into place. 
13. Perfect your bun by tucking any layered wispies underneath the neighboring twist, and spread the twists out evenly around the bun…
14. Add hair wax or hairspray {as desired}, and a cute accessory.

Mother's Day!

Hello! I'm Back and I am so excited to say that today is Mother's Day! Here are some fun and super nice ideas to give your mom on Mother's Day! Although It may be a hassle. It may take some thought. But the mission of Mother's Day is simple: Be nice to your mom, surprise her with surprises, serve her breakfast in bed, make a kind card, and anything else you would like to do for your mom. Stop thinking about yourself for a little while and think about how you can show the moms in your life a little appreciation. 

Birthday Ideas!

Hi! I'm Back! It's been quite a while since my last post. But, I'm back now, so lets get started! My birthday wasn't to long ago, but it was on March 30. For my birthday I had a Hollywood party. It was Awesome! The decorations were bomb, the food was tasty, the games were super fun, and it was outside, WHILE IT WAS RAINING!!! To have a successful party, there are 7 party essentials to remember while planning. First, choose the theme. Some really fun theme ideas are sleepovers, Hollwood parties, Valentine parties (if your birthday is around Valentines Day), Beach, pool, or summer parties, a Spa Party, Under the sea party, a Fiesta party, go to the movies, or go to a local ice cream place. Second, decide the location. Third, figure out what type of invitations you will buy (they should match the theme of the party), and who you will give them to. Fourth, pick the decorations. Fifth, decide what games and activities you will be doing. Sixth, choose what kind of food you will be serving at your party (probably the most important part). Seventh, pick out a cute favor for everyone to take home. Once you finish planning out that, then your birthday party is complete! I hope these birthday tips will come in handy someday. Thanks!

Cute Christmas Gifts!

HI! I'm Back! and today I will be telling you about some Christmas Gifts! Here they are!

This is a quick and easy gift to make.  If you have an unopened bottle of nail-polish, a few crayons, and a little gold bell, and a little piece of string, then you can make this gift for friends or family!








This is another cute gift! It is also quick and easy to do! You just get a jar, fill it with M&M'S tie a bow and make a card. I printed something up so that is why it says all that random stuff.

        MERRY  CHRISTMAS!

My Elf Buddy!

Hi! I'm Back, and today I will be telling you about my elf named Buddy. Buddy is a very good and funny elf. He has been in our household since I was 2 and a half! ( I am 9 now ) We Love Buddy!

This is Buddy eating a Dum- Dum and litering!!!

           

Hairstyles!

HI! I'm Back! and today I will be showing you a cute hairstyle! Here it is.

Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 ponytail holder, 1 small hair elastic, hairspray and accessory {if desired}.

Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes

Skill Level: Easy

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. I began with triple flipunders as a base accent, in the front of the head…
2. Pull all hair into a high ponytail, and secure with an ponytail holder.
3. Separate the ponytail into two equal sections…
4. Clip one of the sections out of the way for now…
5. Using the unclipped section, divide it into two equal strands…
6. Twist both stands to the right…
7. Now, twist them together going to the left {this creates a rope twist, which ensure that the rope braid will not unravel when you are done}…
8. Continue rope twisting the braid, until you reach the end and secure with an elastic or have your daughter hold the twist…
9. Next, unclip the rest of the ponytail that you had set aside previously…
10. Again, separate it into two equal sections, twist them both to the right, and then twist them together to the left…
11. Complete this process on the second section until you reach the end…
12. Once you have the two twists completed, now twist them together going to the right {this is what causes the twists to spiral around each other, with the twisting causing the strands to interlock, create the chain link look you are going for}…
13. Add hairspray or accessory {as desired}

Thank You!!!!!

15 Fashion Tips every girl should know

HI! I'm back! and today I will be telling you 15 fashion tips that every girl should know. Here it is.

1. Tucking Jeans Into Boots

No more fat !! Most of my jeans are boot cut or straight leg (guess I’m just not a skinny jean kind of girl). This poses a problem when it comes to wearing boots — not only does it make it hard to zip them up, but I’m sometimes left with bunched up fabric that is uncomfortable and unflattering! If you have a similar problem, here is a nice little trick to tucking those non-skinny jeans into your boots.

2. DIY Bra Strap Concealer

This clever clothing trick not only keeps your bra strap concealed, but also keeps your wide neck shirts from falling off of your shoulder. Smart! All it takes are a few thin strips of fabric and sew-on press studs. 

3. Clever Zipper Solution

I have a few pairs of jeans that do this (too tight perhaps?). I’m not sure, but here’s an easy trick to help keep that pesky zipper up! Slide a key chain ring onto the loop of your zipper, and then loop it around the button. The ring stays concealed under the denim and ensures that you don’t get caught with your fly down.

4. How To "Unshrink" Your Clothes

Not all clothes can handle the dryer, but in the jumbled up mess of the laundry, those sneaky clothes somehow manage to make it in there anyway. I had a sweater once (that fit), and could now nicely fit into the wardrobe of my American Girl doll, Emily. Oops! Lessoned learned — don’t buy clothes that can’t handle my laundry skills. Hey, but did you know there is an easy way to “unshrink” them?! It doesn’t require going out and buying some special product, either.

5. Double The Layers, Half The Frump

A slimming trick! Just about every girl could use this. Wear a form fitting tank top between your sweater and button-up shirt to keep your mid section from looking frumpy. This is especially helpful if the button-up is a bit baggy, as the tank will press and flatten it against your torso, hiding bunched up fabric and the outlines of the buttons.

6. Stretching Jeans To Fit

Ok, so you’ve maybe gained a few pounds, your jeans are getting tight, but not enough so that you need to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. Been there, done that! You can’t stretch them several sizes, but you CAN stretch them enough to make them fit comfortably.

*Instructions: First, get your jeans damp. You can even put them on and then sit in the tub for a few minutes. This eliminates the process of trying to get them on while they’re wet. Or, give the areas that are too tight a good spray with a spray bottle. Now wear them around the house for about 30 minutes doing lots of stretching, lunges, squats and perhaps some yoga poses. Now that you’ve gotten a good work out in (that’s just a bonus), take them off and let them hang dry. Repeat that process again once they are dry. You should now be able to breathe a little bit easier!

Stretching Them Length Wise: If you want to stretch them length wise, get them damp, lay them on the floor, put your foot down on the waist side to hold them down, and then grab the bottom of one of the legs and pull it firmly towards your body about 10 times. Repeat this process for the other leg.

7. Choosing Necklaces For Necklines

I’ve never really given this much thought, but pairing your jewelry with your neckline certainly makes a difference! Your necklace choice should compliment your outfit; the neckline of your shirt or dress being the most important thing to consider. 

8. Stretching Shoes The Easy Way

A cute pair of shoes are worthless if you can’t actually wear them! I’m definitely guilty of that; I have a closet full of shoes that I rarely ever wear. I suppose comfort always triumphs over style. My feet seem to be a little bit on the wider side, and this is probably the main cause of discomfort in a lot of my shoes. Here’s an easy trick to stretch out your shoes a bit! Fill a couple of good quality zip lock baggies half full with water, seal them with most of the air out, and then place them in your shoes over night in the freezer. Repeat if needed. Too cool!

9. Repurpose An Old Sweater

Sure, you can buy boot warmers. Or, you can get creative with an old sweater and make your own! It could be as simple as cutting off part of the sleeves. This way there’s no sewing required. My mommy might be mysteriously missing a few of her sweaters if it doesn’t start getting warm around here.

10. Removing Deodorant Stains

This happens ALL the time! I’ve learned that there is an art to putting on a shirt if you’ve already put your deodorant on — very, very carefully. Unfortunately for me, black makes up 80% of my wardrobe, so this is just unavoidable sometimes. Baby wipes are handy for so many things, which is why you should keep a pack near your closet to remove those evil white deodorant marks!

11. Waterproof Your Shoes With Beeswax

I love canvas shoes because they are so light and breathable! But this also means that they don’t have any protection from the elements. Here is a simple trick using beeswax that will waterproof your shoes. Now you can wear them even on a rainy day! I have a collection of Toms that could use this.

12. Hosiery & Hairspray

Yep! You probably already know that you can stop a run in a pair of tights with clear nail polish, but why not just prevent the runs in the first place with hairspray? Give them a quick spray with an aerosol can, paying special attention to the areas that are prone to runs.

13. DIY Double Clothes Hangers

Be sure to save those little tabs from your soda cans. You can use them to create double clothes hangers. I like this idea for my clothes so I can pair outfits together for the week. This way I already have them planned. It also saves on closet space!

14. Secret Trick For Cuffed Sleeves

Fold, roll, tug and scrunch. That’s if you want the J. Crew look — you know, effortless looking but awesome. Although I wouldn’t button up my shirt all the way to the neck and wear a denim shirt with jeans, but remember, I’m only a 5 when it comes to style and fashion.

15. Scarf Tying Tip

There are maybe hundreds of ways you could potentially tie a scarf, but let’s be honest, you only need a few of your favs. I love this one because it’s easy but looks like you actually have a sense of style, AND it stays put! Just try it once and you will always tie your scarves like this.

There you have it! Those are 15 very helpful fashion tips.

Friendship Troubles

HI! I'm Back! and today I will be telling you about Friendship Troubles. If you have some sort of Bullying or friend problems you are at the right place. So, if you have friend problems then if you want you can tell me in the comments below but I will throw in a few examples of problems that you may run into. So, if you have someone who copies you, there is nothing really to do, but you kinda have to just try to feel happy for them, you should feel flattered that they want to be like you. If you have problems with whispering then you can tell the person who is whispering to stop whispering and that you feel that they are talking about you. That's how I usually feel when someone is whispering about me. If you are being bullied then that's not good. It is not your fault, bully's want to have power over you. So, you can just tell the bully to knock it off and walk away. If this persists then you need to tell an adult. If you see people being bullied then you step in and defend the person being bullied. If it is severe then tell an adult. Sometimes, the person being bullied is scared to tell an adult, so that's why it is important that you are helping. The most important thing to do in any Friendship problem is to talk it out. Often times it is just miscommunication.  If you are having Friendship problems then you can tell me in the comments below.

                                                        THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Prom Fashion Tips

HI! I'm Back and today I will be posting about some prom fashion tips. If you have a prom or dance coming up, this is the place. So, first you need to figure out what you are going to wear. If it will be formal, fancy, or classy. I usually go with the fancy.  But if you like classy or formal, that's totally fine! Next, you need to get the dress. I think I will be going with the mint and black dress.

 This is what I call fancy. Then, you need to get a black fancy pair of heels. Last for a finishing touch, you need a hairstyle and an accessory. Now, Your Done! That is your beautiful prom outfit! Thank You!







                                 

                        THE END!!!!!                

Sibling Tips

HI! I'm back! and today I will be telling you about some sibling tips. First off, I will be telling you about younger siblings. If you have younger siblings that always break your stuff or annoy you daily, then, this is the place for you. So, if they break your things then you should usually keep your things in a cupboard, cabinet, or drawer. If they get in your drawers then you can put things up high like in you closet. And if you have any problems then you can tell me in the comments below. If they annoy you well, believe me I've been in those problems many of times. But to help out with that you can just try to be patient, and shut and lock your door so they can't get in. You can also try to trick them like " I will give you my king sized Snickers if you get out of my room," or, " I will give you a dollar," and take one of their dollars so you don't actually have to give them a dollar of yours. Now, for older siblings you can also try to trick them but that could be a little harder. So, I don't have an older siblings but I have many friends who do. So, if your out their and you have ideas then post in the comments below.
     
         THANK YOU!!!!
