Wand Up Your Life
So I got a hair cut a few weeks ago… 6 inches off! “Nobody can tell
but you!” is all that I’ve heard since then but I may or may not have
cried the first night I got it cut. Insert my salvation and hero: One ‘n
Only Argan Heat Ceramic Taper Curling Iron. (Woof, such a mouthful).
Coincidentally enough, this is my favorite wedding present. My
hairdresser of 16-ish years got my me and my husband a gift card but
also got me my own present. At first glance, kind of random but I must
inform you about my curling iron problem. I have been an avid curler
user for the past 3 or 4 years. I always thought my hair looked pretty
great but kind of fake (I guess that’s the best way to describe it). The
curls were perfectly twirled and did not blend in with the rest of my
hair. I had heard and read about curling wands and how great they are
for the past few months but was content with my old school curler so I
never gave any thought about trying them. When I got this gift, I was
excited and yet hesitant about it. I never used one before and figured I
would burn myself using it. Well, one boring day in Searcy changed all
of that. I decided to do a practice run with my new wand and fell in
love! Seriously, possibly a girls’ best friend (if done right). The
trick is to not start curling at the top of your head, but a few inches
down. Otherwise you end up looking like an unflattering version about
Shakira. Example:
Now if that’s the crazy hair look you’re going for, have at it.
Personally, I like a little more tamed look. Anyways, this post is
getting longer by the second… All in all, the wand is wonderful. It
blends in with my naturally wavy hair, it’s a great investment, and you
should get one.

Today we just went to church and lunch
at Chili’s. David is playing a few video games and then we are walking
Miley and heading to Little Rock because I can’t take this small town
anymore. I need a vacation to a (semi) real city for a day. With that
said, here is my outfit for the day:
Top: Target
Skirt: Plato’s Closet
Heels: Payless
Skirt: Plato’s Closet
Heels: Payless
I have had both this top and skirt for years and haven’t worn either
of them in who knows how many months. While browsing Pinterest last
night, I got some inspiration for this outfit. I love Pinterest so much!
Even if you don’t have the exact articles of clothing for an outfit, it
still gives you ideas of what to pair in your own closet and that is
what I love about it.
