{head ornaments}

I made her the hairbow for halloween and just so happens she wears it the same day she's supposed to dress like an Indian for drug free week at school....so she has two ornaments on her head! The hair bow was super easy I just used a lighter to seal the ends of ribbons, used a needle and went through center of ribbon (some I folded over to make it {fluffier}), and after tying a knot keeping the ribbons together..just sew to a pony tail holder or metal clip.. I've come the conclusion the thick pony tail holders stay in better than metal or alligator clips.

{Spa-licious Saturday}

ladies...it's time to give our hair some much needed attention...Just in case I'm the only one that didn't have a clue what jojoba oil was I've attached some info about it. I found it at our local natural health food store. Along with every other kind of oil you can imagine..who knew that all existed! 

Pre-Shampoo Rinse

You'll need:
1/4 cup jojoba oil
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sesame oil

Combine all the ingredients into an empty — and clean! — plastic ketchup bottle. Apply the mixture to your scalp and all your hair, cover your head with a plastic shower cap and let it set for at least 30 minutes. Then shampoo and condition as usual.

Benefits of jojoba oil

  • Provides all day moisturization – jojoba oil doesn’t evaporate like water based moisturizers can.
  • It is theorized, but not yet proven, that because jojoba oil is so similar to human skin oil, it can "trick" the skin into thinking it has produced enough oil and thus balance oil production.
  • Very stable – jojoba oil does not become rancid or lose antioxidants even after long periods of storage.
  • Spreads well and absorbs well.

Have You Wondered This Before?

I'm always amazed at the many uses for our every day products. such as Apple Cider Vinegar...
Have you ever wondered what all this weird smelling stuff can be used for?

It's good for repairing damaged hair!

Vinegar removes residue to restore your hair's natural shine. Vinegar treated hair will also be less likely to tangle.


  • Mix one-third cup of apple cider vinegar with one quart water.






  • Rinse hair with this solution after shampooing.





  • So why does vinegar work so well? Because vinegar removes scaly build-up and residue from hair shafts and closes the cuticles. Vinegar has a tonic action that promotes blood circulation in the small capillaries that irrigate the skin.

    I don't even has curly hair but the ends of my hair get some serious fuzz after I use the blow dryer...


    Frizz Control Hair Gel


    Mix 1/3 pure aloe vera gel to 2/3 distilled, warm water. Pour into a spray bottle and mist hair. Scrunch hair, or sculpt curls with your fingers and let air-dry. Bye-bye frizz.
