Weddings and Sock Buns

I had the pleasure of going to my childhood best friends wedding this weekend! We grew up literally next door to each other and we're the most ridiculous overly hyper children on the face of the earth! It's so crazy to think that now we're both all grown up and married setting out on new adventures in life. It was so great to be a  part of her special day.

She asked me to help her out a bit and teach her how to do her wedding make-up after having a horrible make-up trial. She felt more comfortable just doing it on her own.

Not the best lighting to show off the make-up but here is the happy bride to be stoked on the new skills I taught her:

The gorgeous couple clearly stoked on their special day:

 

She looked so gorgeous and I couldn't help but cry through the whole ceremony, I am a sucker for weddings.

Here's what I wore and my hair ( I am sure I will find some pictures of us from that day eventually but right now I got nada hence the pieced together photos)

Dress

Jewelry

Hair by my magical hair dresser Sharon

Pretty much obsessed with the sock bun she created for me and it literally took 10 mins max for the the whole thing. I plan on doing a more simple version all the time at home and figured I'd share with you guys the super simple to follow photo tutorial I found online.

You will need an elastic, one sock with the toe cut off (or 2 for a thicker bun) and some bobby tins just for any little fly aways

It takes a few tries to get it right but after that it's so easy!

And on that note I am sad wedding season is over, I love any excuse to get dressed up!

Weaves and Mustache Rides

Hey guys! Alright so I ordered me some hair online so that I could do my extensions for the summer. Pretty stoked about the results!

 A lot of you email me about what I use for extensions so here is what goes into fusion extentions:

 Basically it's a heat gun and keratin bonded extentions. Though unless you are a stylist or have a friend who is a hairdresser who will do them for you I would not recommed trying them on your own. They will run you anywhere from $500 to $1000 in a salon and last about 3-4 months if you take care of them and have maintenance sessions halfway through.

If you are going to have a stylist friend do them at home you can get the gun on Ebay for $15 to $45 depending on the brand. And you can buy the hair on Ebay as well but don't buy the cheap stuff aka if there is a listing for 200 bonds for $45 I can pretty much garuntee the hair quality will be shit. You can expect to spend about $100 - $200 on the hair online for decent quality. I use about 200 bonds on my head and have medium thickness hair. 

Hope that helped answer some of your questions! If you have anymore feel free to ask.

If you guys read my blog a lot you know I LOVE Etsy! So I thought I would share my latest fave find on there with you guys! I bought this for my husband last week cause hes on a mustache kick at the moment.

 After I posted this on twitter the seller sold out of them. But she was super sweet and emailed me this morning to tell me she had mad a new batch (yes she makes them all by hand) and they are now listed for you guys to go buy!

Today I am starting day one of my new work out plan to get my body back after 3 months of bed rest from before and after surgery. Wish me luck!

Hope everyones week is off to a rad start
