Tuesday Tresses // Half French Braid into Ponytail

 

To do this hairstyle, I soft parted (as opposed to a harsh part where you can see the part line) my hair diagonally from my front left, to my back right. Then I french braided the back half and pulled the front half into it to make a ponytail. (Hope that all makes sense...) 

 

 

At some point throughout the day, I got tired of all that hair flying around next to my face and neck and such, so I braided the ponytail. 

 

Side view with the braid.

 

^ That's definitely NOT the best picture, but it's the only other one that I had of the back. :)

 

 

^ Something weird is going on with that picture, but I have no clue what.. *shrugs shoulders*

 

Before when I would take pictures of my hair, I would have the hardest time figuring out where to hold the camera, how to balance the flash with the mirror, etc., etc., etc. (Don't know why, but 'etc.' should always be said in threes...) When I was taking these, I got the brilliant idea to put my camera in timer mode (or what ever you call it), and place it on one of the shelves in the medicine cabinet. (Do I hear anybody say, "Light bulb." )  

 

Anyways...

Do you think I post too many pictures of the hair styles? Not enough pictures of them?

I hope you all enjoyed! Leave a comment if you know what movie I quoted from!

 

Love,

Rebekah

Friday Favorite // Maddie and Zoe - Let It Go

I don't know if you've seen the movie Frozen yet. I'm sure you've heard about it because for a while there (and maybe still) people of all ages are talking about it. I've seen lots, and lots, and LOTS of covers from the movie, but if I were to watch them all... It would take an extremely long time to finish them all. :)
From the few cover's I've watched though, this one has got to be the cutest. And it's so cute I had to share it with you! These two four-year-old sisters were recorded (both voice and video) by their dad. They may not have the most amazing voices, but the cuteness factor makes up for it! ;)

Have you watched Frozen? What did you think?

Awkward and Awesome

I decided to do an awkward and awesome post! Enjoy!

Awesome: Waking up to the call (and smell) of hot pancakes! On a weekday too!!!

Awkward: Going to sleep, and after having a rather creepy thought, the extremely strong wind howls and sounds like thunder... That was slightly scary.

Awesome: Watching Dad give a bunch of little girls instructions about tea parties. He was telling them to crook their pinkies! It was so funny!!!

Awkward: I went to look for a new pair of glasses. I hand the lady my prescription, she glances at it and exclaims, "So, basically, you have one eye that's really bad, and one that's not really bad at all." Gee, thanks. Doesn't everybody want to hear that! (I'm being sarcastic here...)  'You have one eye that's really bad.'

Awkward: Later, after Mom said something about getting new glasses for herself, the lady asked Mom, "Do you have bifocals yet?" ...Wow. Need I say more....

Awesome: Going to a birds of prey presentation, and learning all sorts of cool things!

Awkward: Having one of the said birds do it's 'business' less than a yard away from me.

Awesome: When the guy giving the presentation mention Despicable Me, by referring to one of the birds.. "It's so fluffy!!!!!!"

Awkward: Well..... How do I put this.. Apparently, the water bottle that I pulled out of the fridge at church had a hole in the bottom of it... I found this out after it had leaked all over Dad's sermon notes, and after worship had started, leading me to turn around and walk off the stage (right after walking onto it..), grab my dripping water bottle, and carry it away, during the first song of worship.

Awesome: Going to watch a five year old, and being told within the first 5 minutes, that I was the 'best babysitter ever.' (heart melts)

Awesome: Then being told later in the week by his grandfather, that apparently I had a new friend, because the little boy wouldn't stop talking about me after I left! (any bit of my heart that's left, melts)

Awesome: Getting to spend a whole week with my Grandma and Aunt!!!! First time we've seen family since we've moved!

Awkward: Driving in the car with my aunt who was in a really friendly mood, and decided to wave to every person and car that passed... It was awkward, but funny too. Love you!!!

Awkward: Watching my afore-mentioned aunt skip along the sidewalk to the car. (By the way... I may have possibly skipped along with her at a later time during the day. Maybe I did. Maybe I didn't.)

Awesome: Getting my drivers license!!!

Awkward: People asking me if I've driven anywhere by myself yet, and having to answer, "No." Because I'm not added to the insurance yet. :)

Awesome: Little Sis lying behind me with her arms wrapped around my waist. And then seeing her wonderful, huge, gorgeous, smile after she read the first sentence. ;) Love you!

Awkward: Realizing that Little Sis is wearing socks that I remember wearing a few years ago....

Awesome: Seeing prairie dogs for the first time!!!! They. Are. So. Cute!!!!!!

Awesome: Getting a bunch of jobs/job offers! Some of which are once (for example, babysitting)  and others are/will be on going!

Awesome: Reading a book to the girls at Bible study, and as soon as I finished the chapter, they all look up at me, "READ MORE!"

Awkward: Having a sore throat while reading the afore-mentioned book to the afore-mentioned girls, therefore having to stop, because I couldn't keep talking! :( Okay, not so much awkward as painful...

Tuesday Tresses // Bun with Bandana Headband

 

 

Okay, for some reason I can't get that picture to sit in the center, but I'm a tad bit too tired to care at the moment. (slight sarcasm there...) Be forewarned: I'm writing this post WAY too late at night. Need I say more? No. Absolutely not. If I were to say more on that subject, it might possibly  would be disastrous. (That is, if it isn't already..) 

 

 

This hairstyle originally started as a bun, but since we were having company that evening, I wanted to do something to spruce up my basic bun. So... I grabbed one of my nifty bandanas (Oh, the endless list of things you can do with those!!!), folded it, and tied it around my head.

To do my bun, I just made a ponytail, twisted it around, and into a bun, and slid a couple bobby pins in! Easy-peasy. (Refer back to warning!)

 

Needless to say, I was happy (and possibly slightly proud) with the way it turned out. I think I also used a few bobby pins to hold the bandana in place, just to make sure it didn't slip, and also to make it sit better on my head.  

                              Side view.                                                                    Back view.

I figured out how to sit two pictures next to each other!!!! Now the trick is for me to remember how to do it next time... ;)

Hope you enjoyed!

Rebekah



Friday Favorites // Virtue Makes You Beautiful

I smile every single time I watch this.

A bunch of teenage guys, and one of their teachers got together and did a parody of a song (that I think was originally done by One ... can't say it. I just can't bring myself to say it.) If you know the original song, leave it in the comments!

Anywho, this version of the song is WAY better!!!

Virtue Makes You Beautiful



Isn't it awesome!

Also, I did some playing around with the look of my blog. I found out how to add buttons! If there's a button you think I should add, let me know! I may or may not, but I'll at least take it into consideration. ;) I also found out how to add the little thing with the checks at the bottom of my posts! (If you know what that's called, give yourself a pat on the back. :) )  Let me know what you think!

What was your favorite part of the video?

Love,
