Party Ideas: Food Bars

With the dream of a new home (Matt and I are in the VERY early stages), I keep dreaming of fabulous parties I want to throw. Right now, I'm seriously loving all the food-bar themes I keep seeing on Pinterest. Any good party has good food, so why not build your theme around it?

Here's some of my favorites!

Vlog: How-to Tease Your Hair



Ok ladies, here's all the tips you need for teasing your hair! I put it in this video and I hope you can all walk away from it with giant, voluminous hair.

First things first, you want to use a comb or brush that you're comfortable with. Like I said in the video, I use a hair pick, but you may find a comb, or brush easier to use.

Then, you want to start mid shaft and comb down towards your roots.

For more volume (for say an up-do) focus your teasing on your roots with a small tooth comb, then switch to a pick to focus body on the middle section of your hair.

Most importantly, remember to smooth out the top of your hair! You NEVER want to have an obvious nest.

Also, you don't want any gaps in your hair, so be sure to do a full 360 to check for evenness.

So there you have, it's seriously so easy. Practice makes perfect!

To see how I curl my hair, see this vlog. Oh, and for loose curls check out this one.

Now ladies, go off and pouf! Let me know if you have any questions and I'd love to hear about your new big hair experiments!

Vlog: My Favorite Lip Products


A few of you have asked me about lip products and which are my favorites, so I thought I'd do a video to go over all of them. I asked some of you on my Facebook if you'd be interested and you were, so here we go!

Please excuse my hair, I had just gotten back from running errands and hadn't curled it for the day so it's kind of bleh. 

Also, I was talking to my sister about how almost all my lip products were within the same shades and we got to talking that most girl's makeup cases were the same. You buy what you like and what works for you right? What do your products look like?

Do we use any of the same products? Am I missing any holy grail products? Spill!
