DIY Bobby Pins

No Place Like Chrome

 I can't get enough of this Essie color. It is great on it's own or an accent color. You don't have to keep the color strictly to your nails. You can brighten up boring bobby pins with nail color. It's SO easy. Put the bobby pins on a piece of cardboard, paper...junk mail works great too. Then paint the pin. So easy and you feel like a crafting Queen!

Fall Lip Obsession

New season means new look and time to change up my make up routine. Good bye Summer lip gloss and Hello matte lips. I am in LOVE with matte lip pencils! Just about every make up company makes them. From expensive Nars Velvet matte lip pencil to reasonably priced Revlon MatteBalm. I like the ones that you don't need to sharpen. Tarte Lipsurgence has a great minty taste and it is natural. Bite is a high pigment lip pencil that lasts the longest. It is a smaller pencil so it is easier to apply to thin lips. I like Bite in Rhubarb.

Revlon in Sultry

 Revlon is great because you just twist to sharpen.

It isn't matte but I really love Flower sheer lip tint in Airy Orchid. I am sure Flower Beauty will have a matte lip tint soon.

Hair Rut

Blonde-ish thick hair

 I am in a major hair rut. Blah! My hair has gotten long and it just sits there. I grew out my bangs. I've been brown, red and yellow. I kinda want to go short again but I am not sure if it looks good. I want a haircut that complements the shape of my face. Most days my hair is in a ponytail or bun. I had a hard time finding pics of my hair because I'm wearing a hat in lots of my pictures.

Side braid is my go to style lately.
Below are hairstyles I like. My hair is THICK. I am not sure what to do with it. What hair styles do you like? Who are your hair icons? Any suggestions??

This looks so summer cool. No fuss

Bowtie Bun

Today was wacky hair day at school. I didn't want to be out done by a bunch of preschoolers! I think bow buns are cute but I never had an excuse to try it before today. I am sure I'd get some stares if I walked around Costco like this. I found a very easy how to at www.mrkate.com. I didn't even need to use bobby pins. It helps if your hair is a little dirty.
