{let's talk about bangs}

Last weekend I had a much needed date with some hair color and scissors...

And on a whim I had my stylist cut bangs!

If you follow me on Instagram, this is old news, but I have been neglecting this blog quite a bit lately, and figured this whole bang situation deserved a bit more attention.

Or maybe I'm just reaching for blog content.

Either way, here we are.

Since then I've rotated between loving them...

And relegating them to the side of my head with a bobby pin...

Today we are friends again...

But I can't promise they will last until bedtime. Or even 5:00 for that matter. Something about having hair on my forehead that can just drive me insane in a matter of minutes. And thanks to my Instagram friends, I learned I'm not the only one. 

Whew...turns out bangs are just one of those love/hate relationship things.

I do have to admit I like having the option of wearing them down or pinning them back. Time will tell if they become a permanent fixture.

Do you have bangs? What's your verdict?

XO,

Happy Monday friends!

I thought I would start out the week with a fun and super simple hair tutorial...in video form!

Be sure to watch until the end because Landon makes an appearance and does something very typical {and hysterical} of 4-year-olds.

And I make quite the stink face at the 5:40 mark. Doing your hair is tough friends. ;)

Here is the tutorial I learned this technique from...



Happy hair do-ing!

{first video blog!}

Happy Weekend friends!

So today I did something that I had been contemplating for awhile but hadn't gotten up the nerve to do. A video blog!

{I refuse to call it a vlog because it just sounds funny...and like I have a lisp or a spelling problem} :)

So without further ado...a little video about the things I'm loving this week...



And if you don't want to watch dorky old me on video, here is a little recap:

1. Nap time = lovely me time
2. Happy hair {I used this tutorial}
3. New IKEA shelf!
4. yummy coffee
5. yummier lotion

What are you loving this weekend?

{warm it up}

Got my hair done yesterday and I'm in love with the color. I had been getting highlights for so long that my natural color had gotten really washed out, so I got a semi-permanent color in a rich brown, with some subtle highlights. And got rid of all of those pesky split ends of course. Here is a before pic...you can kind of see how washed out my color had gotten {and I had quite a few grays}...

And here is the after!

Better, right?
