I love Learning Mondays! As you probably already know, most salons are closed on Mondays. It's great to have a weekday to handle "stuff".  But it's also the day that one can occasionally find extra education!!!  And I am ALL about that!!   So today was spent with some of the guys from Suddzz FX.  Up top's picture is with Elloy, from Austin, TX, and my friend and co-worker, Razel. I was so excited that we went together today. The last class I went to I had to go alone and it's just not nearly as fun. I have a tendency to find humor in the goofiest places and desperately need somebody to LAUGH WITH ME!  So thank you Razel for being my laughing buddy!  So the class, yes, it was great. Learned a chic-y new up-do. (I'll post on it later so I can get some good pics.)  Here is Elloy working on it.  Taken from my iPhone camera, they're not the best quality but I get so frustrated with my real camera that I couldn't br...

My daugter's dance group did several numbers from "Cats" for their recital this year. They also performed from " The Sound Of Music " and " Mame ".  But I must say, " Cats " was definitely my favorite!  I call her my " Angelical Cat ".  I wish I could show you a pic of the whole group.  They were INCREDIBLE! Have you seen "Cats"?  What's your favorite musical?? 

Ok I have been one CrAzY Mama over here!!  So much fun stuff has been happening with my kids that I have been out of pocket and quite frankly, out of my mind. It's normal life but somehow I manage to make it look soooooo much more complicated than it is. I'm good at that. But before I catch you up on some of the "highlights" I thought I would give you a quick HAIR TIP. TIP When toweling your hair dry, NEVER rough the towel back and forth. This is such a No-NO and people do it all the time. Instead , take your towel and SQUEEZE your hair dry. By holding the towel closed on one section of hair the water is absorbed into the towel.  Roughly moving the towel around trying to use air to dry your hair works but it also makes combing it out afterward a nightmare .  Much like my schedule has been the last month!!! Whew, May is over.  BRING ON SUMMER!!! 

I usually chug a bottle of water (20oz) in the morning and one before going to bed. I try to sip on a bottle of water through the night.  It seems the more you drink - the more you have to have it. It's like a GOOD drug. Water has so many wonderful benefits. Good for detoxing the body. Good for your skin. Weightloss.   And the list goes on and on. So why do I find myself having such a hard time drinking it during the day???!!!!!!!!  What is it about this drink that presents me with such mental anguish?   I used to be addicted to Diet Coke. And I don't mean I just liked it. It was a serious addiction.  I feel awful because I am responsible for my husbands addiction to it too!!  I am not so proud of that. :-( BUT, for almost a year now I have just about put the Diet Coke down for good. So it's all good, right?    Welllllll, seems I replaced it with Dt Mt Dew.   Ok I swapped one ...

Today's do is the Braided Bun. Sooo cute and sooo easy! What do you think? Would you wear the Braided Bun??

Here's another cute ponytail option for summer straight from my very own fashion diva.  My daughter had her hair in a low, loose ponytail and lifted the ends up and tucked it into the space between the elastic and the nape of the head. I think it turned out really cute. What do you think?

Ok, so for a while I had been ready to lose my long locks but I think I'm past it now. ( Well, at least for a little while anyway. ) You know how it is, about the time your ready for the big chop; you wake up one morning and your hair has magically grown to a workable length.  So now I'm pretty excited to work these styles for the spring and summer.            I am LOVING this ponytail tie .  Isn't it cute and how easy will this be??  I'm thinking of all kinds of materials that can make this simple look go with all different kinds of outfits.   A leather strap, a sheer ribbon, satin ribbon (obvious choices) but what about tennie shoe ties for post workout?  Braided cording?  You've got an imagination, I'm sure you can come up with a bunch of ideas too.  You'll have to send some to me and let me see how creative you can be!!    jennyleighsblog@gmail.com So this look g...
