upsy daisy updo tutorial

I love finding feminine hairstyles and sharing them.

Ladies, {tapping on my desk for attention}

I believe we have to fight for all things beautiful, delicate, and girly

 or our granddaughters will only see things like this in storybooks.

You're a lady, be beautiful.

God made you that way.

{stepping down off my soap box}

Try this beautiful twisted hairstyle with a simple trick for added body.

I'm blessed to have some gorgeous sisters and sis-in-laws.

With Prince's Sister, Heather visiting the last 10 days

 we've had a little girl talk, late night movies, and desserts.

So much fun.  Gonna miss this gal.

I squeezed in a quick tutorial photo session right before we headed to the airport.

Break out the pins and try it!
Toodle-oo,

p.s. A big thank you and long {squeez-ie} to my sis, Heather for tolerating me!

count your blessings

#162 hairspray...what would I do without you?

#163 bobby pins...I love you so

#164 beautiful sisters

pure beauty braid

I'm in love with this simple, yet elegant hairstyle my {baby} sis does and wanted to share it.

1. first of all, grab hair behind your ears...not above your ears but behind your ears

 enough to make a small braid behind each ear

2. braid pulling toward you chin so as not to make it bubbly but give it distinction

3. temporarily secure dangling braids separately

4. tease your hair at crown, tease crown down to ear line on back of head, you don't want to tease just top and you want everything above with body so there's no flat spot on top of your head

5. take 2 side braids and secure as a low ponytail with clear elastic band

Here's a good trick: flip ponytail inside out so it lays closer to your head and somewhat hides the elastic

6. push lose hair above braid up a little to "mess it up" then spray

give it a try

Have a lovely day,

count your blessings

simple hair dos and truffles from 2011

I thought I'd put together all of the posts, from 2011,
 that I received the most comments and emails from.
This first hairstyle started getting pinned on Pinterest.

  And then received almost 4,000 clicks back to raising4princesses blog!

Braided Updo

can I just say, 

I'm loving having my baby sister here in Jamaica!

lots of good, real belly laughs

My sisters are gorgous, dharlings!  

I love their style.  I miss borrowing their clothes!

I thought it would be fun to "make" my sister do a couple of 

feminine girly posts while she's here.  

This braided updo is cute, stylish and fast.

 I could ever ask for in a sister." {last part wrote by Monica}

Indian Princess Hairdo

"When did he first say, "Ugh!"
When did he first say, "Ugh!"
In the Injun book it say
When the first brave married squaw
He gave out with a big ugh
When he saw his Mother-in-Law"

"What made the red man red?
What made the red man red?
Let's go back a thousand years
To the very first Injun prince
He kissed a maid and start to blush
And we've all been blushin' since"  From Peter Pan

Cowboy Joke: 

 If a cowboy rode into town on Friday and 3 days later rode out on 

Friday how is that possible?   The horse's name was Friday.

 

French Princess Hairdo

This is kinda my "go to" hair style.  

When I want them to look cute I can always count on this quickish braid.  And it stays in pretty good for rough playing little princesses.

I keep going and secure it in a side ponytail.

There you go, ladies.  Just in time for Church tomorrow!

I love having girlies!
