SHRED THOSE T-SHIRTS

And Here's How....

1. Grab some t-shirts "does not work well with 100% Cotton" you don’t wear anymore. larger sizes tend to work better as do non-ribbed shirts with no side seams. small logos on the shirts work fine, too. 2. Grab a pair of fabric scissors if you have them, otherwise any scissors will do. 3. Lay the shirt out on a flat table in front of you. 4. Cut the hem off the bottom and put it aside. 5. Cut the shirt into 1-1 1/2 ” horizontal strips all the way up to the armpit. 6. Grab 3-4 shirt strips in both hands, and gently stretch them out. the strips will naturally curl into themselves. 7. Once you have done this with many of the strips, it is time to get creative. try draping them, wrapping one end with excess fabric, combining colors, braiding them, attaching beads, pins, old jewelry, etc.

Have fun!

Peekaboo Bangs and the Side Chignon

 You may have seen this floating around but it's just too good to not repost.
 The very glamorous side chignon is simply gorgeous and O, so easy... I think this would look so sweet for many different occasions...From Wedding Day fabulous to walk in the park feed the ducks ...

Step by step how-to:

Using a round brush, blow-dry hair smooth and straight, focusing on the top sections.

1. Once dry, use a large-barrel curling iron to create waves from the ears down.
2. Build height and volume at the crown by teasing hair gently with a fine-tooth comb.
3. Gather hair into a low ponytail. Twist it along the nape of your neck, pinning as you go.
4. Once you reach your ear, shape the remaining hair into curls, and pin them back over the twist.
5. Spritz strands in place.
6. To add texture, gently curl and scrunch the wispy ends with your fingertips.

See, so Easy!!!   if you choose to give it a go...do drop back by and share with us:)

Cucumber is a highly effective beauty food packed with vitamins and silica, an antioxidant that can help relieve dark-circled or tired, puffy eyes. It also supports cell growth and repair for skin, scalp and body.So soothing!!! Simply slice a cucumber for a clean face and neck treatment, or purée it into a clear cream for a scalp treatment. For a great hair or skin mask, try this recipe:

1 cucumber puréed or diced
