To Cut or Not to Cut?
I have an constant struggle going on in my head at all times; bangs or no bangs? I always like my hair with bangs, but every so often I will see a picture of a style I would love to wear that just doesn’t work with thick bangs like I have had for the past [...]
Establishing Routines
Since becoming pregnant I have begun to think about all the things that I need and want to get done before the baby arrives. I have a lot of goals I want to accomplish and a lot of projects I want to finish. I also know that very soon I will have a lot less [...]
New Haircut
This week I had my aunt, who used to work as a stylist, cut my hair. I had Russ trim it for me about a month ago, but hadn’t gotten a real cut in ages. I wanted a little Betty Draper do, and am quite happy with the results. It is so nice to finally [...]
Beauty Day
Yesterday after a long workout in the gym, my girlfriend Alison and I walked back to my house and decided to treat ourselves to a spa day. It was complete with facials, hair, nails, and most importantly–mimosas! Sitting around I thought we needed to take a few photos. It was actually a complete accident that [...]
Today’s 60 Updo
I love roller sets. If I could do them every single day, there is no doubt I would. They always look so amazing that first day….and if I do them properly they look pretty good the second day as well. By the third day though there is still some wave to my hair but it [...]
How to Cut Your Own Bangs
This is actually a post I made about a year and a half ago on my former blog. It was one of the most popular posts, so I saved the article (as well as a few others). I pulled it out now because it seems appropriate subject matter on this blog. If you have ever [...]
Still Summer
It seems like everyone on Twitter is talking about how happy they are with the arrival of Fall. Well here in San Diego we still have quite a bit more Summer left. Though I love our long Summers, it would be nice to have a short break from this heat, I am dying! Here is [...]
A Failed Cake and Soft Twist Rollers
Well I had hoped to post a picture of the beautiful carrot cake I made today, but things went South, and it didn’t turn out quite as beautiful (though still tasty!) as I had hoped. Instead I will make a post about the soft rollers I got. Sunday I went to the beauty supply store [...]
Joan Holloway Hair
Thought I would share the hairdo I just finished on myself. It is loosely based on the Joan Holloway (Mad Men) hair tutorial video from Super Kawaii Mama. which you can view below. Though I did change it up to my likings, it is very similar procedure as in her video. The best thing about [...]
The Side Sweep and Glamour Bob
A few years back I found what is probably one of my favorite books in my collection. It is Family Circle’s Guide to Beauty, published in 1964. I have done many of the styles on my own hair, an have actually learned some great tips while browsing the 192 pages of joy in this book. [...]
