Let's Talk Bobby Pins


A few months ago there were articles and blog posts everywhere talking about how the majority of people had been using bobby pins wrong. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was skeptical, but I started using them the "right" way, and to be honest its worked better for me!

So here's the (so-called) correct way to use bobby pins!


Another thing that has made bobby pins more helpful (and less frustrating) is to spritz them with a little hairspray before you stick them in your hair. They stay put better and slip around a lot less!

Happy Monday!

Weekend Links



Fall has finally arrived! In celebration of chilly temperatures and falling leaves here are Fall themed weekend links!

In preparation of winter hibernation, it might be time to think about doing a little redecorating your living space. A super sized picture might be a nice addition.

If you've already begun hibernation, and are lucky enough to have an iPad, why not make your own font while you're snuggled in?

Now is a good time to stock up on documentaries before the snow days come!

Need a cheat sheet for your Autumn shopping? This one has everything you'll want in your closet!

I have a huge love affair with couscous that started when I worked in a Moroccan restaurant and these couscous recipes are definitely on my to-try list!

Have a lovely Sunday!
