My quick go to Summer Hair Style! (No heat)

I call this "BUNZ"
 
Things needed to create this hairstyle:
 
* Brush (toothbrush optional)- Make bun smooth/ lay down edges

* Moisturizer- so hair will be moisturized throughout the day

* Hair Tie x2

* Bobby pins- Secure the bun/ Random hair

*Gel- Slick down edges/ baby hair

* Bandana/ Scarf (optional)- Lay down edges further


Step 1: Smooth hair into a ponytail on top of your head. (Moisturizer, Brush, Gel, Hair tie)
 
 
Step 2: "The Coolio" Take 1-2inch sections and either plait(braid) or twist hair. ( I do about 3-4 braids or twists)
 
 
Step 3: Just simply wrap your twists around eachother and bobby pin or tie with a hair tie. This will leave you with a nice twisted/ braided bun. You can also lay down your baby hair!
 



Tips and Tricks:
  •  I like to do 3-4 plaits because my hair is not extremely long, and it adds more volume
  • If you want more height layer the braids/twists on top of eachother and pin
  • This is a great protective style and it lasts ALL day, I NEVER have to check my hair :)
  • Great pool style!
  • Excuse my poses :)

April Faves: Best Month EVER

April is always the best month out of the whole year... Why? Because it's my birfffdayyy month, this year I turned 21, and turnt up a little bit, but anyways here are all of the things I have been LOVING for April!

Is the picture a little crooked, or nah? (excuse the carpet)
 
Overall short set: YASSSSS my absolute favorite piece I have bought this month! Do you guys want a lookbook with overalls? (Rue 21 $30 , I know a little pricey for me, but they were kind of a birthday gift to myself)
 
New York Jersey: This easy breezy shirt was so easy to pair with a lot of different things in my closet and I wore the heck out of this piece this month. BTW: I loved wearing it with silver jewelry instead of gold :) ($10-15 Random store in California)
 
Faux Floral Vans/Keds: I got these shoes for $16 from Rue 21! I originally wanted to get some floral vans but decided to go with these instead because they were friendly to my budget. I have to say I am in love and they were easy to style!
 
Fabulous Tan Bag: This along with my black Steve Madden bag (not pictured) were my birthday gifts from my friends. I had kind of been hinting that I wanted a bag for my birthday and these were perfection! I Love big bags. (No idea of the price they were gifts!)
 
Smell Good Air Freshener: You know when you do number 2 and that stuff you spray right after, well I have found a magical scent that smells amazing. BUT WAIT, the best part is that it was only 1$ from the Dollar Tree. YOUR WELCOME. (The name is Air Freshener scent is Waterfall Breeze brand is the Home Store. Its in a bluish greenish can)
 
Candle: Now I am in no way shape or form a candle person, but I had to pick this candle from the DOLLAR STORE, which means it was a dollar, and the smell is just everything. I love vanilla and I think that its comparable to Bath and Body works Vanilla Sugar, maybe better? ( The name is luminescence vanilla scented jar candle!) The only downside is the wick goes fast!
 
Elf Eyebrow Kit in Dark (educated guess): I have been filling in my eyebrows since freshmen year of college and this product hurrr is just great I like to use a darker pencil to outline then fill in with this and it works like a charm! (Ross $5 it came in a set)
 
 
 
 


UPdate: Job, Hair color, School

Job: Unfortunate circumstances forced me to quit my job  earlier than I would've liked, however I had already had an even better job lined up for the summer (Ain't GOD good)! (Today was my first day :) )

Money: Sigh... I will not get in my feelings about this, but just know that, I have not been saving my money :(, but I have a plan to get back on track'

Hair: So with my new job they are making me dye my hair back to a natural color all over (my sides are died blonde), and I am a little depressed about this. But moving on , I will be doing a heat free au natural summer, you guys should join me! And I may do progression pics :)
