Braided Piggies for Hats and Bobbi-Toads

Hats are awesome and can be so so cute! But they aren't allowed in school. This style transitions perfectly. It works for cold weather hats and fun sun-blocking caps...

Combs, Brushes, etc.

 I wanted to give a quick word about the tools we use to fix hair. They are important, not just for function's sake. They also affect the health of our hair. These are some of the combs I use. They aren't the most expensive you can buy, but aren't from a drug store either. They are smooth. I can feel the difference in my own hair. They won't pull or tear the hair, they don't scratch the scalp. The black-handled beauty I use mostly for smoothing my hair for sleek styles. (It's amazing!) 

This is true for bobbi pins and clips as well. Higher quality isn't just about function, it's about avoiding damage and protecting your hair. 

Bottom line:

Spend the extra few bucks and show your hair some love! :) 

Side note: I have 3 new styles coming this week! :)

Product Review - Tate's Pure & Natural and A Pretty Curled Style

We've had another busy week... honestly, I don't know any moms who aren't busy this time of year. And if you are a homeschooling family, like us, then you truly understand the word busy!

We had a couple days this week that I was concerned for Little Miss. She had to start breathing treatments due to some rattling in her chest. I'm fairly certain that it was caused by allergies not illness, thank goodness! Anyway, she is okay as far as that goes, but today she is sick to her tummy. Poor girl!

Well, now I have about 8 posts waiting to be written, but there is one that I gave a short mention to a while back. So, here you go!

Curlformers Product Review

Some of you might remember that I had won a giveaway for Curlformers, woohoo!!! ;) Well, I've tried them once on myself and once on Little Miss. They were a lot of fun and the curls are just amazing! 

Curls, curls, curls...

I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! We had a great time with family and friends. We hung at our home, ate my hubby's BBQ chicken, Aunt Amy's Potato Salad, Papa Dave's Salsa, Papa Randy's Baked Beans, my sister's green bean casserole, and my nacho cheese Doritos. heh (I can only cook certain things.) Anyway, we were pretty busy and still will be for a couple days! However, I wanted to give a little sneak peek at what I have in store for this upcoming week...

My niece and her gorgeous natural curl. Some de-tangling tips, a cute style, and some adorable sass! ;)

Something I know some of you have been waiting for... CURLFORMERS! Lol, I have had them for a little over a week and both Little Miss and I have used them. So far, I LOVE them! Definitely a review and some tips coming your way.

Oh, and of course the results of these miracle curlers on Little Miss Sass. She's a doll. ;)

A sideways picture, for some odd reason it uploaded this way. heh. I have a cute 'do that could be worked for everyday, dressed up for church, or glammed up for pageant/dance/skating performances. So excited to share this natural fluffy fun with all of you!

And speaking of natural... I've got a review coming of a new product in Miss Sass's cabinet. A brand that will be taking up permanent residence in our bathroom! ;) I'm super excited about this one too. It is perfect for little girls with skin problems, breathing complications, or other health issues that can be adversely affected by the chemicals in your average hair care products!

Cut 'n Style

Mr. Cool and Miss Sass got new haircuts. Finally! ;) Mr. Cool was up first.... and his new look is just like he is, cool! Tara gave him a short 'do with lots of depth. She thinned it out a ton so that he can work with it a little more. He is able to spike it all on his own. And it's just too cute! ;) As is his style, Mr. Cool would only let me take a few pics and this is the only one that really came out... gotta love him!

(And can I say, he was so very tired that day. And looking at his poor little eyes, I feel bad for not forcing a nap or something! heh)

Next was Miss Sass. She is so little that even with a huge pillow on the chair, Tara couldn't get to her hair very well. So instead she stood on the floor and Tara just bent down to snip. After a couple minutes, Alex leaned back against her; it was so adorable! 

And here we are in true girl fashion, chatting away with her stylist. ;)

Tara evened up the back and added a few simple layers. She also did some sculpting around Sassy's face. After the cut, she gave her some soft curls and a quick little bobby pin at the top. It was so so cute.

I am in love with the kids new looks and they are both very happy! We love you Tara! ;)

I want to add a little extra note here. Tara has her own place, Tara Nichole Salon! It is lovely and clean and she is so professional! She was great with the kids! Her prices are very competitive and she really knows her stuff. Tara has so much to offer. And in my opinion the best part was her kind, genuine, caring nature! We give Tara Nichole Salon 5 Stars!!! If you want to check her out, take a look at her facebook page. ;)

ROCKAHOLIC ... New Detangler, New 'Do - Product Review

We created a fun new 'do today inspired by our new "BORN TO ROCK" detangler by TIGI. It was really fun and too cute! Miss Sass was full of attitude, so I have a lot of pics. And then there's the product review, so this post is just a bit longer than usual. ;)

Relaxed Curls & Bun on a New Model w/ a New Flower

Please welcome my lovely niece, The Diva! A beautiful child with enough attitude for 2-13 yr old girls. ;) She agreed to model for me and I was so excited to fix her curly locks!

Walgreens was AWESOME!!!

So, I got the prints made of the invites and also some wallets to hand out. The lady at the counter was very helpful and kind! It took about 7 minutes to pick out all the prints and send them through. They have a wallet option as well as the typical sizes and they just added a matte finish processing in 4x5.3 size(cool!) and the prices were pretty reasonable. We walked around for 10 more minutes until they were finished printing. We were out of the store within 45min of walking in.... can't complain about that! ;)

The best part of the trip, though?

The clerks asked for a copyright release for the photos! Hahaha! That made me feel pretty darn good;)
