Shiny curly hair updated


 How to have your hair stay curly all day long with shine.

1.  Put volume spray in hair at the crown of head.
2.  Next blow dry roots of hair upside down until roots are almost dry.
3.  Then blow dry top of hair forward for more volume if you want.
4.  Finish by blow drying hair in four different sections with round brush.
5.  Change the dryer to the cold setting and run all over hair one more time
       with round brush. (hair will be shiny from this step)
6.  Spray curl activator (heat protector) on each piece of hair before curling            
      it.
7.  Use  3/4 to 1 inch curling iron gold one by hot tools. (hot tools purple
      and black one does not heat as good)
8.  Spray hair spray on each curled piece after you curl it.
9.  Hold curl in hand blow dry hair on cool setting (this locks in curl)
10. Shiny curly hair all day long.
Extra tips:
Use hair dryer with tourmaline ionics, revlon hair dryer is what I use. (cuts drying time in half)
Negative ions ( from hair dyer) are used to reduce the size of water droplets on your hair, leaving your hair healthier and shinier.
Before blow drying hair towel dry hair twice to get all the water out you can.
Alway use hair dryer on the warm setting and not the hot. (the less heat the better)
Use a round ceramic hair brush it helps with drying time and shine.   I got mine at Sally's for $5.00
I hope this helps

Linda's Birthday

A group of us went out to dinner at Pei Wei to celebrate my friend Linda's birthday.  Yummy food and good friends made the night so enjoyable.  Also it was great to get out of the house on a school night, that does not happen very often around here. Most nights we are in for the night at 7pm no joke. Thanks again Linda for putting it all together!

fun in the rain



We love it when it rains in Arizona! Collin and I ran out to play in the rain a couple of days ago.  He always has to have his umbrella when he goes out in the rain.  Dancing and playing in the rain is the best.  It did not last long but, we enjoyed it a ton!

Bailey's is ten!



 Here are the pictures from the photo shoot I did with Bailey for her tenth birthday.  She was so much fun to work with, what a great model she was.  My little Bailey is getting so big.  Two digits was a huge thing for Bailey this year.  She told me she is not a little kid anymore, that she is almost a teenager.  These photos do show how much she is changing into a young lady. Even her clothes are getting more grown up.  I wish I had a shirt like miss B.

buried alive

I decided it would be fun, if the kids buried me in the sand. You always see people in the movies do this so why not me?  My older brother Patrick help the kids make me into a mermaid with one arm. It was not that bad over all.  My sister Amber did warned me that I would have sand in every place possible but, I did it any way.

Newport beach

This is the house that we got to stay out when I went to California with my family this year.  It was a sweet house to say the least!  This is my new favorite way to spend a vacation.   A house is the way to go, if you can get a big group together to help pay for the rental.

new tunes

I thought that I would share my list because, I like when other bloggers share what they are listening to.  It gives me great ideas to find new music! Maybe my list will help you find some new tunes as well.

I love this playlist of my favorite songs.  
Here are my highlights on I heard about the songs and why I picked them.

In safe hands- I got this song from the show Gossip girl in the last scene. Blair and Chuck say goodbye to each other soooo dreamy!!! I loved that episode.

Who says- disney stars have some fun upbeat songs that Bailey and I can both rock out to.

Adele- She is awesome love her voice!

love loving you by Savannah Packard-  This song reminds me of Clay and I 
I heart this one!

Stole my heart- its from the kindle commercial.

Stereo love- it reminds me of France a little. 
We speak no Americano- gets me moving to do my chores
Kate Nash, Lenka, Lily Allen Priscilla Ahn- my new favorite artists 

All about your heart- Last song I cry when I heard it the first time. It sooooo sweet! This song was written for Nie
