I’m not very “romantic” and roll my eyes at the ends of Disney princess movies BUT in all seriousness, I did marry someone amazing & it was one of the best days of my life.

Taylor Swift Inspired Hair Routine + Bad Salon experience

March 8, 2015 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Taylor and Sarah
For my birthday I decided to treat myself for a haircut. I originally went to this new place by my house. Price was good and it was so convenient for me so I went in. I’m a trained hairdresser and have not had the ‘real’ salon experience in over 7 years. Going in I decided not to share this detail about myself in case it made her nervous. [Read more…]

Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix & Peppermint Marshmallows

December 18, 2013 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I absolutely love making things from scratch. When My boyfriend, Matt, and I were living our year without plastic (single use disposables & packaging) we had to make a lot of things from scratch. It’s such an adventure trying to figure out ways to do things. Sometimes you’d be surprised at how easy most things are to do from scratch.
That being said, Matt and I had to create all these christmas gifts for our family and friends sans plastic. This hot chocolate & Marshmallow duo quickly became popular as it was fairly easy and very impressive.

DIY Makeup Remover Wipes

I am so into DIY projects especially if they will help me save money. Making makeup remover wipes are something that has been on my list for a long time. I researched different ways to make it and from reading reviews on all the different recipes I came up with my very own.
Most of the recipes I came across explained how to use a paper towel roll and cutting it in half. Let’s be honest here…who has time or patience for that!?! I definitely do not. Since this posed a problem I quickly troubleshooted and came up with an easy solution, Cotton pads. I got mine at the dollar store at $1.00 for 50. I now felt confident that I can attempt this recipe with out the mess and frustration that ensues by sawing a paper towel roll.

Ways to make your hair last days!

July 8, 2013 by Sarah Leave a Comment

We all know its not good to wash your hair everyday so what are we supposed to do with limp hair when day 2 or 3 roll around??
I usually have 2-3 day cycles of washing my hair. My hair is pretty wavy naturally and the ends get really dry and frizzy. By not washing my hair everyday really helps bring the natural oils to the ends. The ends feel great on day 3 but the roots on the other hand are not looking the greatest. For years Ive usually done day 1 being down, day 2 being half up and day 3 all the way up.
Ive put together a video on some options to get you through the 3 day hair cycle. They are easy and fun!!

I was excited to have some extra time Monday morning and evening to do some Taylor Swift inspired waves and film a tutorial. The first video is all about that. The next one is where the goodies are. I have done a super cute half updo with some cute pink flowers on day 2 and a cute braided hairstyle on day3. I had fun filming this…even though it was at 6 in the morning and before work.

Now not washing your hair for 3 days does not mean to skip the shower or bath for 3 days. Protect your dry hair with a cute shower Cap 🙂
