Good Hair YEAR!

Everyone loves a good hair day, but what if you could have a good hair year?! Wouldn't that be awesome? Here are two of my favorite clients who came in for special looks for 2105.




Lilly* came in just last night to transform her dirty blonde hair into a pale blonde ombre. It took at least three hours but it came out gorgeous. This new look is going to brighten up her winter outlook for sure. 



Jasmine* is the stunning lady in the middle of this picture. She came in for a party updo with lots of volume.



Happy New Year!!!

Oil Obsession

I have always been a naturally oily person, so the thought of putting oil on my hair or skin never crossed my mind until about three years ago.....

I read in a beauty magazine that after cleansing your skin you should put "good" oil on to keep your natural, yucky, acne causing oil from surfacing. 

I tried it and I swear it changed my skin for the better. I have fewer breakouts and my skin seems more balanced. I now use this practice on my hair too, and I can go an extra day before I need to shampoo!

Here are the products that I use and love: 

This shampoo is sulfate free, SLS free, smells nice, and is easy to find. Plus it's very cheap. My hair is so soft now and my scalp is far less oily. I don't know what I will do if they ever stop making it..... 

This facial cleanser removes makeup wonderfully. It makes my face feel clean, but not squeaky clean. My skin glows after using it.



I have tried four different facial oils and this one is my favorite. I use it at night before I go to sleep and when I wake up my skin feels amazing. This stuff is pricey though. (around $20 for a small bottle) so only use a few drops each night.



Oil It has fewer chemical ingredients than lotion and can be used in place of lotion. I like Jojoba for that.
  So go ahead and give oil a chance!

Apron(s) of the Month: November

Apron(s) of the Month:
Fall Harvest Aprons

This month I couldn't choose just one. I might make this a regular thing because it's always hard to choose. If you missed October's apron, I am sorry. I was busy getting married and had no time to post one. Hopefully these will make up for it! 


Left: This harvest apron is made of really nice fabric. It's very sturdy, yet soft. The pockets are always a bonus!
Center: The orange and green remind me of a pumpkin and the rick-rack is darling.
Right: This apron has so many fun colors and flowers. For a psychedelic Thanksgiving. 
I LOVE APRONS <3 

Happy Thanksgiving!

(Very) Girly Things


Hello readers of my blog! I cleaned my guest room last weekend and found some pretty, girly stuff  that I want to share with you. The room is apron-y girly heaven and super clean now! 



Aprons on a string add color to a white wall. 

Yard sale find last weekend! 

Fresh lavender in a crystal vase freshens the room. Notice the card on my desk? It's from my very dear friend and It says "Will you be my bridesmaid?" Of course I will !!!!! 

This adorable afghan and matching pillow are a wedding gift from my aunt. She does amazing work. 
Pansies, pumpkins, and a swan planter! View from my front porch.
