Hairstyle: Easy Updo

Easy as 1-2-3.

Some people are born with a green thumb. Some can create a masterpiece using only a pencil. All while making it so easy. Me, none of the above. Especially when it comes to beauty. So when I had to do our daughters hair for her this years Christmas program, the pressure was on.

I loved the end result. Don't you think this would be perfect for any holiday party?

1. Begin by clipping the top of your hair aside for later.
2. Once the top half is clipped up, put the bottom half in a low ponytail at your nape.
3. Create a small hole at the base of your ponytail and push the ponytail upward and down through it, creating an inside out ponytail.
4. Backcomb the ponytail.
5. Roll and create a chignon.
6. Secure with bobby pins.
7. Let down the top of your hair.
8. Pull all of the hair from the top half loosely back and twist it a few times.
9. Wrap it around {bun style}, to the current chignon. Securing with bobby pins.

Vuala! Can't even tell my model is 7.

7 Pretty Things Sunday

If you were asked to come up with 7 pretty things, what comes right to mind? That's what I was asked. My mind just started spinning with all the ideas. My list may seem simple, maybe even plain, but they're... me.


Today I'm linking up with Gussy Sews, Matchstick Molly, Much Love, Illy & The Letter 4 for 7 Pretty Things on Sunday.

Piano. My love for music. I do hope to learn how 

to play someday.You're never to old, right?

Tattoo. I have two of my own but this one reaches deep in my heart.   love never fails 1st Corinthians 13

Everything about this. I have a passion for chandeliers but this overall bathroom looks like a mommy's safe haven. 

Bike. If you know us, you know our passion for bikes. This photo is us. Bikes, love.... Our Reflection.

Hair. Oh how I wish I had long beautiful wavy hair like this. It seems so effortless. Where's my magic wand?  

Scarf. Especially infinity scarves. I could wear one everyday. They seem to complete any outfit.

Vows. Having your wedding vows on canvas in front of your wedding photo. I adore this.

All the photos I posted today were found from my Pinterest stream in case you want to check them out here. I'd love to hear where you found your inspiration. 


Blessings.
