Hola!!!

I have been looking at blogs, pinterest, and amazon for fun easy hairstyles. This was one of the first ones i stumbled upon. This one is from a book off amazon. It is crazy simple.

 

I started with already curled hair, but you could use straight, wavy, or whatever hair. After i washed my hair last night i put it up in curlers and slept that way.

  

Take a section of your hair, the part that you would use if you were pulling your sides back. Braid that section, then pull the braid apart a little bit to add volume and make the braid look bigger.

  

Wrap the braid around your head and secure it. I used a giant clip because 90% of my hair and bathroom stuff is already packed. It will probably be prettier if you use a few bobby pins.

Repeat this process on the other side and wrap that braid around and secure with bobby pins. With bobby pins yours will hopefully turn out a little more secure than mine hahahaha. Add a spritz of gel or hairspray to tame flyways and create a little hold.

From the front it is a nice sides pulled back look with it being a little more interesting in the back.

Let me know how it works out for you!

P.S Yes i am in my comfy pajamas 🙂 The weather has been bipolar here and has been raining a lot lately so i am enjoy and warm inside lazy day.

Happy Friday everyone!!!

So on Tuesday i started a new workout regimen. I bought the 12-week bikini workout program and am loving it so far!! It is by The Get in Shape Girl. So I have done the workouts the last 3 days and feel great, a little sore but great; today I am supposed to do a HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout and an additional 30 minutes of cardio, however today I just wasn’t in the mood to workout.

This workout program is a 6 days a week program, Sunday is supposed to be my rest day, instead i decided that today would be my rest day.

I knew that because i so didn’t feel like working out today that i wouldn’t work out to my full potential, this way it is a win-win. I will still get in my 6 days a week workout and i get to choose the day that i don’t feel like working out.

Basically i am saying, if you really don’t feel like working out, not that you are being lazy or anything like that but that you genuinely don’t feel any motivation at all, take the day off and let yourself off the hook about it…….but make sure you kick butt in your next workout.

On a side note, remember that braid i did….

Look how much it spices up my pony tail!!! I love it!!

Enjoy your weekend!!

Hey!

I don’t know about you guys but i tend to fall into a hair rut. I find a few hairstyles that i can do quick and easy and usually stick with them most of the time. I’ve been searching pintrest and amazon and google looking for still pretty quick and easy but different hairstyles to spice up my hair routine.

One i love is a small front side braid.

I part my hair to the side and do a small french braid. I do it when my hair is wet so i dont have to contend with so many flyaways and i can make it a little bit tighter.

I love this because its so versatile. I can leave my hair down with the braid, it really spices up my ponytail, it works with a bun. Really it makes almost any basic hairstyle a little more interesting.

Try it out and tell me what you think!

Good Morning everyone!!!

This time last weekend I was having breakfast with a nice man in the middle of nowhere.

I can tell you this, if you are ever thinking of scheduling a first date/meet and greet type thing in Hawthorne……don’t.

There is nothing to do! However if this does happen, get pizza at the little pizza shop across from the El Capitan casino, it was delicious!

Also, at this point spring for the suite and the El Capitan lodge, i didn’t and he did and wow was his room like 10x nicer than mine. My room reminded me of the room in the movie ‘vacancy’……the adjoining door was even unlocked when i got there, just saying. 

I met a guy from eharmony there, i think it went well and look forward to spending more time with him. And he was a very good sport when ‘pitch perfect’ was the movie i turned on the tv and ‘what to expect when you’re expecting’ came on after that hahahahaha.

I’m smitten but am not counting my chickens. I’ll keep you posted!

Tell me something that has made you smile lately.

Howdy all!!!

Things are good here and ill update you more in a few days but i wanted to stop in and show you my new purchase!!!!! It is simple and cheap but ibam so stoked for it.
So i write letters to my friends and family, like actual snail mail letters, they are a mixture between hand written and typed but i mail them.

I think people have forgotten how much fun it is to receive something in the mail that isn’t a bill or magazine or summons lol.

To make it even more fun i bought an old fashion seal and wax!

And it turned out sooo cool! I am super excited about it!
I challenge you to write someone and old fashion letter!

And here is a little fitness motivation for you 😄

Talk to you later!!!
