How To Do a Unicorn Braid


I've just recently got into playing with my hair more often...braids seem to be my go to thing. Lately I've been learning how to do different types and thought it would be fun to share a few of them with you. This week, I'm starting out with something super easy...the Unicorn Braid (or as some people like to call the Rope Braid...but unicorn is so much more fun). This literally takes no more than a minute and is perfect for those days when you don't have time to fuss with your hair but want to look cute.

Here's How to do a Unicorn Braid.


1. I like to start with my hair straightend but that's up to you.
2. Make your part, I like to do mine to the side.
3. Pull all of your hair to one side.
4. Separate into 2 strands.

5. Twist one of your strands counter-clock wise.
6. Twist the other counter-clock wise as well. I usually just use my mouth to hold the 1st strand.
7. Start your braid by twisting the strands clock wise.
8. Twist all the way down, make as tight or lose as you want. Tie with a rubber band. 


All done, so easy right? And it seriously takes no more than a minute.

I hope you enjoyed this. Next week I'm going to share the 5 strand braid so be sure to check that out.

July Sponsor Question of the Month


Every month I like to ask the sponsors a fun question so all of you can get to know them a bit better.
After seeing Magic Mike earlier this month and thinking of all those hot men, I just had to know who was on their celebrity crush list. I think it's safe to say that Rachel, Tiffany, and I definetly have a case of the J's lol. Check out what we had to say.

Rachel from Daydream Freenzy

Oh gosh, it's so hard to narrow all of Hollywood's hunks to just a few, but I definitely have a top three! My third would have to be Joseph Gordon-Levitt, mainly for his role in 500 Days of Summer. He is just the epitome of cuteness! My #2 is James Franco! Not only is he good-looking, but he's hilarious! And I'll be super surprised if I'm the only one to have this guy for my top pick, but my #1 has always been and will always be Johnny Depp. I mean, c'mon!! Look at him! The man only gets better with age. :)

Tiffany from beijos Tiffany

My celebrity crushes have to be Joe  Manganiello and Jake Gyllenhaal. Love manly men :)

My List and a pic of Jerry Horton from the last time I saw him.
James Franco has always been on my list, I think it has something to do with that gorgeous smile of his...melts my heart everytime I see it. Now these next two guys are definitely fighting for my number 1 spot. Jerry Horton from Papa Roach (my favorite band), I think he's the first guy with long hair and tattoos to grab my attention...seriously the last time I saw him play, I  blew him a kiss. Crazy right? Everytime we see Papa Roach, Chris already knows we have to sit on Jerry's side. And of course, Justin Timberlake is on the top of my list as well. He's just so talented and extremely funny...I've had a crush on him ever since the good old Nysnc days. 

So now I want to know from you. 
What Hollywood hottie makes your heart race?

Simple Date Night Details

Dress: Target, Belt: Forever 21, Heels: LC Lauren Conrad

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend. I definitely got to get some much needed relaxation. I just wanted to share a little dinner date night outfit with you all.  I've worn this dress quite a few times...for awhile it was one of my favorites. Chris and I weren't planning on going out to dinner that night but when his brother invited us out, this was the perfect thing to throw on quickly while still feeling dressed up. I love all of it's simplicity with it's pretty details like the plum color and ruffled sleeves, oh and adding a cute belt doesn't hurt either. It originally came with a belt that would tie around but I've always thought it to be a bit more fun to add one that was more interesting. I used to wear my gold glitter belt all the time but this bow belt has to be on the top of my list right now. I love how it completely gives the dress a more girly feel. Do you have a favorite accessory at the moment? 


Here's to a happy start to your week!
