So excited. I did a super duper conditioning treatment on my hair last night and it looked and felt FaBuLoUs today!  I used Kenra Nourishing Masque on freshly shampooed hair.  I saturated all of my hair (scalp too) from base to the ends.  Left it for 15 minutes and rinsed it out.  Hairdressers are often like plumbers, they keep everybody else working and yet their own pipes are clogged up.  So it felt fantastic today for my hair to be so shiny and bouncy! I curled it on a 1" clipless wand and shook it out.  Now go check out the Before & After's page.  Just posted some that you have GOT to go see! Have you ever had any of your own "mess ups" with your hair??  Tell me about it.  I always love a good laugh!  LOL  

Oh yea---you are gonna want these full, bouncy, swingy layers this summer!!!  And seriously, I would love to tell you how to get them but that's kind of MY  SECRET . Hairdresser-extraordinaire cannot reveal the sho-nuff techniques but I can say that if you live in Alabama I would love to set you up with some "Layers with OOmph!". If you happen to live elsewhere then ask your stylist for long, side graduated layers. Kaylan's hair was almost one length when we started.  She was gorgeous before  (YES, it's her natural color)  but this change was just what she was looking for, something different but keeping the length. Check out the back ( so LOVE the back )  Breezing off the edges looks so fresh. Need to spice up your long layers?  You've got to try this!! What do you think??? Here's a " Do-Over " aka Before & After   LOVE this girl and LOVE those "Layers with OOmph!"...

Is it any wonder every spring fashion looks to color???!!!!!! These were taken by my man in our yard and they're pansies! They'll be gone soon and I'll replace them with my other oh so dependable flower, vinca.  I can count on these to bloom and look pretty no matter how horrible I am with plants. But their colors are soooo pretty.  It makes you want to put color on your body and be happy, doesn't it? Here's one more and then I think I will go shop with my kiddos and get them some fresh, colorful clothing to wear as we celebrate our risen Lord and Saviour! And just might have to pick me up something too - I said " might ". Good Friday to all PS thinking about revamping the ole blog here. Any suggestions on good sites to use?? 

Isn't she BeAuTiFuL???  She is and has a personality that is just as gorgeous!! This is Lucy and she's a gem even with her normally straight, slightly coarse hair.  Here's how we took her from straight to silky, bouncy, super natural looking waves . We scored 2 different looks.  And YOU can too with this simple but unique process.  Here we go... If you're starting with clean hair then you've got to dirty it up a bit.  I used Kenra Firm Hold Mousse all over on dry hair.  Then added Brocato's Rootfix from the scalp and up the hairshaft about 2 1/2".  Love this stuff.  It makes it rough without feeling hard or stiff.  Then did a semi-rough blow out til the hair was comepletely dry again. Starting with the nape, section the hair off into 2x2" sections.  Pull the strands out and twist. Twist the strands back to the head and secure with roller set pins or hair pins. Repeat until all the hair is twisted and secured except for the ba...

 You've Got Skill HELLO my marvelous, life-embracing, fearless friends!  Did you know that you are more than just a pretty face ??? Oh yes, it's true. Baby, you've got depth, you've got intellect, you've got that certain, .... oh how you say? Je ne sais quois Do you know what that means? It's French for I don't know what . Hahaha I love that.  But it's true.  You've got skills that I don't know about.  You've got that certain something that God can use to make this world a better place and more importantly, bring glory to Him.  Remember, 1Corinthians 10:31 says Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. WHATEVER you do, let it bring glory to God.  The world will be a more beautiful - loving - FUN place. So let's help a brother or a sister out by whatever means and resources God has given you. Are you an encourager?   Well, don't hold back. Is making food for others your thing?   Then ...

You Are Fearless!! -or you could be- Ok my Marvelous, Life-embracing friends, know that you can be fearless. I know we all have a cowardly lion in us and times when we want to go hide under a pile of coats (that's my personal favorite) But we don't have to give in to that fear! NOPE - the wise wisdom (is that redundant? hehe) given to us in the book of Proverbs says, "Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; For the Lord will be your confidence And will keep your foot from being caught." 3:25,26 I've got 2 words for ya Awesome Kabosome!! ( slang courtesy of my sweet baby girl ) God doesn't say it won't get tough or bad. In fact He says, "...when it comes" so we need to expect tough times & sticky situations.  BUT Never fear  -  -  -  Our God is here He will keep our foot from being caught. He always makes a way for us.  So go be FEARLESS and pull out your Taylor Swift cd entitled Fearless. You kno...

2.  You Have Life!!!! John 10:10 ....I have come that they may have life, and  that they may have it more abundantly Woo  Hoooo!!  Life is calling!! Over here!!   **********  Helloooooo?????? You are special my friend because God has LIFE for YOU. I always get bummed to see Christians walking around with the mully grubs all the time. (yes ma'am, I just said, "mully grubs") We all have our moments  -  granted. But let's keep it at that - moments. I'm pretty sure Ecclessiates mentions a time to mully grub but it's just for a time (btw, that IS a joke) We've got so many blessings and things to celebrate! Jesus came to die willingly for us to L  I  V  E To live with Him in eternity but definitely so we can have a fuller and more meaningful life here until that perfect time comes. It's time to Carpe' Diem .  Grab that bull by the horns. Sing out loud      Dance a little dance Put a hop...
