Day 5, Braided head band

Braided head band

I have been trying for a long time to figure out the best way to get this style. I finally did it!! I was so excited.

First I made the braids, small ones, right above my ears, 2 on each side. Then I pulled the rest of my hair up in a tight pony tail. I made a fun bun, you can really do any kind of bun. Then I pulled the braids over the top of my head to the other side. Crossing them and pinning them in place.

Day 4- Easy curls

Easy Curls

Last night I washed and dried my hair. Fully dried my hair. Then I put it in these loose twisted buns.

 (This is the way it looked in the morning)

Then I took them out ran my fingers through them and fixed some of the curls that were a little fuzzy or just didn't look right. I just used my straightener, I love using the straightener for curls b/c they are more loose and faster to do. I added some closer to the top and sprayed it with flexible hair spray. This picture is at the end of the day so the curls have loosed up a little bit but not much.

I love this style b/c it takes about 5 mins in the morning, and it looks great all day long. I get great curls with out taking all the time to do them. I am not a huge fan of massive hair and when you have a lot of hair curls make it too massive, so I don't like to have to many curls close to the top. This way it makes it look more beachie. I don't have to fuss with it and I am ready all day long. Its something I love to do when I know I have a big day the next day and not a lot of time on my hands,

Day 3, Maiden Braids

Maiden Braids.

These are one of the easiest things you can do. If you can put your hair in pig tail braids then you can do the Maiden Braids.

 After you put your hair in pig tail braids, you go one step further. Just pin them up around the top of your head. Hide the ends of the one braid underneath the other braid.

Day 2

Hippie Chic

We have church really early in the morning, so I don't want to spend a lot of time on my hair. This is day 2 of my hair. Meaning I didn't wash it today. Now if you were anything like me then you are saying "I could never do that my, hair gets so greasy." Well today is your lucky day I am going to give you my secret.

Dry Shampoo

What is that? you may be asking. Well its a little miracle in a bottle. My hair is super greasy every morning no matter what I do. So I spray this all over my part.

Soon I will show all the placements I do it on.

It turns my hair from greasy to clean and gives a little bit of body.

 This style is super easy for all types of hair, all lengths. I just do a little bit of teasing in the back, twist the sides, and pin back.

Something for the every day mom.

Day 1 of 30 days of hair for the everyday mom

I started my 30 days today.

I am really excited and really scared at the same time.

I have been doing hair for almost 6 years now, and I put my hair in a pony tail 5 out of 7 days of the week.

That isn't very good.

So I am challenging myself to switch it up a little bit.

So today I just did it straight.

I wanted you to see what my hair looks like. Its really long, super thick, and I have a million layers.

I use a lot of products because I have really frizzy hair plus it is super important.  

So today I blow dried it and then straighted it. Nothing to exciting but it will soon enough. I have a lot of ideas up my sleeve. I will be doing some tutorials, talking a lot about products, and giving some ideas for the every day mom.

Last day in Utah

We left Utah on a Saturday, but before we left we went up to Salt Lake to visit my grandma, and my 2 aunts. My grandma lives in California so I don't ever get to see her. I think the last time I saw her was over 4 years ago. To long if you ask me.

  Another thing we were able to do while in Salt Lake was go visit my dad. It has been even longer since I was at his grave site. I feel so lucky to have an amazing family who tells me all of these wonderful stories about my dad. This is the first time either of my kids have been able to see him.

 One with the whole family

 My grandma is so very special to me, she is the mother of my dad. She is the reason I am here today. I wish I was able to see her more often, b/c when I am around her I see my dad so clearly.

 With my 2 aunts Marla and Valorie.They are both my dads sisters. They are so wonderful and welcome us with open arms every time we see them. Its like time hasn't ever passed when we get together.

 The mountains are his home, He loved to be in the mountains. My aunt told me he loved it so much b/c he didn't feel so tall in the mountains. Which we was he was 6'8.

 My sweet little moose giving kisses to his great grandma.

I am so grateful that we were able to go out to Utah and spend time with family and loved ones.

I am so grateful for a wonderful husband who deals with all my craziness. 

 I am so grateful for a family that still remembers all about my dad and that they still tell me new stories about him.

I am so grateful that I have the knowledge that I WILL live with my dad again, that I will be able to hold him again.

And I am so grateful for my wonderful children, who right now Bruce is giving my raspberries on my arm and Dylann is singing a song as loudly as she can.
