Modern Beehive (Video Tutorial)

Here is another hair tutorial - A modern 60s beehive that my sister has been wearing.

Please note that is is *inspired* after the 60s beehive, but is in no way meant to be a tutorial for a 60s beehive. 

We decided to start making tutorials as I have been wanting to for awhile now. My lovely boyfriend got me a camera for my birthday which records pretty well, but all the "mediums/loops" I have to run the video through to get it uploaded is really leaving the video quality crummy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

...so stay tuned for more  :)

Late Easter

I have so busy with school. I am taking 5 classes and feeling very overwhelmed.

Here are some pictures from Easter!

My hair after being windblown and then restyled :)

Here are some pictures of my parents yard after we got back from my grandmothers.

Goodnight everyone!

Mugging it up in the Bathroom

My sad attempt at a post to keep from not posting for months. Spring quarter begins Monday, so we'll see how much I can post and how frequently.

My results after brushing my hair after using Hot Rollers. It falls flat so fast that if I want a good curl, and I want it to last I must sleep in rollers.

A close up of a dress clip I recently found at the Goodwill.

Here is a better view of the makeup. Basically a cut crease. I found a fantastic set of 1936 dress clips recently for $2.99 whoaza what a steal! The little rhinestones shine so brightly that they give the sun a run for its money :)

Good night!
