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,

Friday Favorites // Wake Up & Smell The Bacon

I don't know if you've heard of this. I don't know if you've seen it. I don't know if you like it. I don't know if you care. But, I thought it was worth sharing. If not for coolness, for weirdness, and if not for tastiness, for bacon.

 

 

What else can I say!?!?!

 

So, here's an advertisement for the new Oscar Mayer app called 'Wake Up and Smell the Bacon.' From what I understand, it's an app that is amazing in itself, but there's so much more than the app. You can apply for a device that plugs into your ear-phone jack. This device, when your alarm goes off, releases the aroma of... Bacon.

 

You can check out their website to find out how to apply, and for more bacon-ey goodness here.

 

So, ladies and gents, with out further ado, here's Oscar Mayer's Wake Up and Smell the Bacon advertisement.

 

What do you think? Do you think this is really cool? Extremely dumb? Absolutely ridiculous? Entirely random? Oh, ho, ho! You want random! I'll give you random! (WARNING: It's rather late, and I'm tired, so I have NO clue what's about to happen, and I'm not into hitting the delete button...)

 

^ Oh! I would LOVE one of those!!!

 

^ Need I say anymore? There is no such thing as 'too much bacon.'

^ We were actually watching a movie a few weeks ago, and they showed a scene with a sunset, and.... all I saw was bacon. (Please refer back to the warning...)

 

Well, I hope none of that was too random, and that you enjoyed some of it!

Tuesday Tresses // Braids Into Braided Bun

A braided bun is one of the easiest hair styles to do. It takes a small amount of skill, and looks amazing! You can give it an elegant, sophisticated look, or you can make it very loose and messy. You can do it simply, or fancily (That's not a word is it...). You can do so many different variations, it might just make your head hurt. ;)



 

 

I decided to dress it up a bit, and I added two braids in the front going into my bun. To do the bun, ponytail, braid, ponytail, wrap, and pin. (like I said, easy peasy porridge pie.) (Okay. Never using that phrase again...)  

 

 ^Side view.

 

^ Other side/back.

 

I think I did the bun, and then wrapped the braids around the bun. You could also put the braids into the ponytail and then make the big bun.

 

I think the 'Tuesday Tresses' aren't going to be every week. They'll still be on Tuesdays, but not every week. ;)

 

Hope you enjoyed!

Animal babies and a very clear point! [Sanctity of Life Part 3]

The other day, my mom showed me this link.
It's pictures of unborn baby animals. These pictures are SO COOL! Peter Chinn 'created' them. They're a mix of photos, ultrasounds, and a bit of computer graphics to bring it all together. So, while they're not exact photos, they show the real thing. If you read the article the whole way to the bottom, you'll understand why I included it in the Sanctity of Life posts. :)

So, I'll share some funny pictures instead! (Do I know how to pull of a bribe, or what!?!?!) (...Definitely a what.)

Which one was your favorite?


Love,

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

 

I'm thankful for so many things, there's no way I could name them all! But, I'll start with a few.

• A wonderfully warm house
• Filled with family
• Who all have full tummies because of some AMAZING food.
• My awesome friends
• Who make me laugh. (Sometimes so hard, that my stomach hurts.)
• Jesus
• Who loves me so much that he died for me
• So that I can have eternal life.
• Phone calls and e-mails
• From (other) family and friends.
• Clothes on my back
• Food on my shelves
• A roof over my head
• And all of the other things that God has blessed me with!

"For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Hope your Thanksgiving was HAPPY! :)

2. Blue Mountain ~ Brandon Heath

They're there in order of publication.

1. The Healers Apprentice

Well, anyways, those are the reasons that I'm excited! Why are you excited?

Hope you enjoyed!

Yes, your eyes are working correctly. That is SNOW!

Your brain is working correctly too!! It's only the first Friday in October!

Snow on the window screen.

 

More snow on screen.

 

 

This is the screen door. ^ It would only open a few inches!

Love the focus!!!! ^

 

 

It was up to her ankles!! She had to come inside early because the snow was going in between her pants and her boots!!! Poor dear!!!

 

She fell belly down into the snow!!

 

 

Bundled up! In a sweatshirt...

It was up to his knees in other places!

And then mid sis fell. :)

 

Snow in my window!!!!

 

 

Snow in the door.

 

Snow inside the door. INSIDE!!!

 

Snow inside the dining room window.

 

Look at the door!?!?! It's almost halfway covered!!!

 

 

The snow had coated both the screen and the glass of the window!

 

 

 

Would you look at that pile of snow!!!

We finally got the door opened up a bit. :)

 

LOOK! JUST LOOK!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Well, hope you all enjoyed!!!

Enjoy your (hopefully) warmer weather!!!!

 

Love,

Rebekah
