Hair Tutorial // Snake Braid

I'm not sure what it is about braids but I can't help but love trying out new ones. There are always so many variations to try that it's never boring. I really love this hairstyle because it allows me to wear my hair down while still adding some interest to an everyday look. Doesn't this snake braid look so interesting?? Try it and let me know how it works for you!

1. Start with your hair parted to one side.

2. Take a small section from the top and braid it.

3. From the 3 strands of your braid, grab the middle one and pull up the outer two to the top.

4. It should start to create a "snake" look as you pull up.

5. Pin back and it's ready to wear!

Girly Girl Rebel

Dress: Ross, Shoes: Bamboo, Sunnies: Old Rue 21, Bobbi Pin: Ban.do

 Most days you'll find me in a dress or skirt with heels...anything that will give me some extra height. But I'll be honest sometimes I'm a bit of a rebel...gasp! and dare I say...wear flats. These are my go to favorite. They are gold and sparkly and that's all a pair of flats needs to make a girl like me happy. 

Do you ever "rebel" against your everyday wardrobe?? Do tell!

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Banana Bites

 I have a major sweet tooth and since I'm trying to eat better I was really excited to try banana bites out. Even if it is dipped in chocolate and I added sprinkles...I mean the banana makes it so much healthier than eating a cupcake or ice cream right? These were soooo good and refreshing!! I gave these to Chris too and he loved them. We will be making more of these around here.

 Banana, peanut butter, chocolate bar

1. Slice banana

2. Spread peanut butter on one side.

3. Break chocolate into pieces and heat up...I did mine in the microwave for about 20 seconds.

4. Place toothpick in banana slice and dip into chocolate.

5. Place your dipped bananas onto parchment paper and add sprinkles then put them in the freezer.

6. Once chocolate has hardened these are ready to eat!!!

yum yum!!
