How To: Crown Braid




Hello loves!

Quick little post today on how to achieve a Crown Braid. I love this hair style, it's simple and effortless but looks more done up then a pony tail or bun. I apologize for the messy hair, it wouldn't cooperate with me this morning!

Step 1: Create a middle part

Step 2: Braid each side into a regular three strand braid {Be sure to leave some hair loose in the front}

Step 3: Flip the braids over your head and pin into place {My hair is thin & fine so it was quite hard for me to hide the bobby pins but if possible try to hide them under the hair as it looks better}

Step 4: Curl the loose hairs in the front to frame your face {You don't have to do this it just creates a nicer look overall}

There you have it, an effortless hair style that looks fancy but in reality is quite simple!

What is your go to hairstyle?

Shoe Dazzle - DIY

Hello everyone!
I'm going to share a fun D.I.Y. I found while perusing Pinterest the other day.

Who doesn't love glitter? 
My last DIY post was ages ago and also included...GLITTER!

What you will need:
  1. Mod Podge (I made my own) - How To
  2.  Heels (I used an old pair that I don't wear too much anymore, as I didn't want to chance wrecking a new pair)
  3. Glitter
  4. Paint Brush
  5. Newspaper (any paper will work, just makes it easier to clean up)

{The beginning}



Mix some Mod Podge with the loose glitter in a small jar of sorts using a paint brush.



Lightly paint on a layer of the mixture on to the soles of the shoes using the same paintbrush you used to mix it with.




Then using a dry paint brush pat an even layer on using ONLY the loose glitter. I just sprinkled some on the soles and lightly patted it in creating a nice even layer.
Let them dry, then apply the final layer of Mod Podge.


There you have it! 
A old pair of shoes, spiced up with some glittery soles.

This was an extremely easy DIY and jazzed up an otherwise normal pair of shoes.

What do you guys think, have you tried a DIY like this?

Steps:

  2. Wrap a plastic bag over the top of the glass and tape around the stem

  4. Sprinkle the glitter over the glass (tbh guys, I poured mine all over then shook it off which actually gave it a nice even finish)
