De-tangle for a re-tangle. Take note in women’s hair history and get inspired by styles that have swept us away for centuries. Today’s modern day chick typically opts for the up do for special occasions, however that’s not the case anymore. Time to treat everyday as a special occasion! Thakoon showed intricate hairstyles with woven colored and textured materials up and down his runway. More creative and eye-catching Fall/Winter trends: bold fabric combos. The other “PS” love of our lives, Proenza Schouler gets the gold medal for taking printed fabrics and infusing together in unexpected, j’amazing ways. Get inspired by these two trends and create style of your own, especially since the hair comb is making a comeback!
To create, Pick up hair combs from you local drug or beauty store. I’m a huge Goody fan, personally! Rip pieces of cotton material into 1” strips. Leave a little bit of a frayed edge will give you more texture. If you want a cleaner look, cut your fabric strips with scissors. P.S.- If you cant find fabric, cut up an old tee that may be lying around. Double knot two 12” strips on one end of a tooth. Weave the fabric in and out of the teeth, and repeat with the second piece. Double knot both pieces together on the last tooth, and snip the ends. You’re ready to rock the up do and adorn your hair with the ultimate DIY accessory. Get creative with your hair style using bobby pins, and other styling tools for various looks. P.S.- if you love to rock the high-bun, add a comb to the base of your top knot to top off!
I HAVEEEE TO TRY THISSSSS!
(except my hair already sorta does this… maybe it’ll just be more defined now)
I love finding “heat free” methods because normal curling irons always fry out my hair
DIY nails: tape + decorative edge scissors + matte & gloss polish!
Lovely idea for alternative business cards:
What you’ll need:
1. A pair of tights. I chose to use thicker cotton tights because I can never seem to keep a pair of sheer tights run-free for very long.
2. Beads/Pearls. I found mine at one of the many bead stores here in the city, but they can also be found at most craft stores. They’re…
A calm jar. I need one of these. You fill the jar with colored water and glitter. When you are upset you shake the jar and have to watch it until the glitter completely settles. The time it takes is enough time for you to settle your emotions.
I need this when I’m on the internet.
I’m going to make one of these:)
I REALLY like this idea

I am by no means preparing for parenthood at the moment, but I saw this idea of making chores a game by writing tasks on Ping Pong balls. Each person in your family (or just the kids?) chooses a ball, completes the task and then chooses another one. After 30 mins or so whoever has the most balls gets a prize. Thought it was kind of an interesting way to get chores done? Love, Nik

Marble Fence | The Wool Acorn
Such a simple DIY but so effective. Who would have thought a drill and some marbles could transform an old tired fence into something magical?! Just imagine how gorgeous it would be when the sun hits the fence in the dusk? I wish I had a wooden fence just so I could do this!
