Simple braided hairstyle

Hi there!! Today I want to show you a simple and lovely way of styling your hair. You just need a hair clip, a small elastic band, and a pair of pretty braids.

1. Start by braiding one section of your hair, make sure that it covers the back of your head and secure it with the hair clip. 2. Make another braid on the other side and join it with the other one with the elastic band, and you are done! I guess this is a great hairstyle for school, or when you want to go out and there's not a lot of time for getting ready. You can always add a small bow or hair clip to make it look even prettier! Hope you like it (: Have a lovely day! xoxo. Monica

3 ways of styling a bow

Well, so I just got a bow... a little blue bow! And I wanted to show you 3 simple and cute ways of wearing it. I really think that colorful bows make the difference in an outfit, they are the cherry on top. There are lots of other ways to style them. A good idea is to place them on top of a purse, or a belt to change it totally! They are also really easy to make (I think I'll do a small tutorial later:) 

1. bellow a high bun.

This is sort of my favorite style. You just need to grab your hair up into a high bun and place the bow. You can also do it with the bow in top of a low bun, it is really easy and cute. 

2. On the side.

For this one you need to take your hair to a side and start twisting until you cover all your back, then secure the bow and you are done! 

3. On the back as a half ponytail.
You just need to grab all your hair to the back and secure it with the bow, a good tip is trying to separate the top part from the part beneath it, I don't know but my hair is sometimes way too heavy, so this really makes the difference (:

 

Have an awesome weekend! xo.

DIY braided bun

Well, I have to admit I've been sick for this days.. I have flue, I think it is because of the constant rains and cold weather... (also because I dislike wearing shoes) But well, as I had lots of hours to draw and do html coding I decided to  change the blog's design! I really hope you like it! I'll be replying the emails I've got lately for tomorrow, so please be patient (: 

Well, Today I want to show you another way of pumping up a simple bun. It is pretty simple, you just need to grab your hair in a small ponytail, and leave two pieces of hair by every side of your head. After that braid both pieces of hair and make your ponytail a cute bun, then, just grab the small braids and place them around the bun secure them with a bobby pin, and you are done!  

Have an awesome day! xo. Monica

Homemade pore strips!

Steps 1-2: First take one spoon of milk and one of Unflavored Gelatin (it works with flavored too!). Mix it very well, and then microwave for about 15 seconds. Step 3: Place the mixture over your nose and wait for about 30 minutes, peel it of and you are done! 

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

DIY: Snowball glitter nail polish

Something I love to do is to paint my nails... so I am always looking around for cute nail polish colors. Yesterday I saw a white snowball nail polish. But it was about $5 USD  so I thought it was sort of expensive for a nail polish. Then I decided to buy one that was transparent for $2... and this is how it ended after some little arrangements.

(my sister) 

Well, I really think this is something easy and that will look cute in everybody so I decided to share it with you.

You just need: 

- 3 (or more) drops of white nail polish

- Glitter (three different sizes)

- A clear nail polish

Well, now this is what you have to do:

1. First you should add some white nail polish to your clear one until you get the color you like. 2. Take some glitter (I recommend of 3 different sizes so it looks even prettier) and with a pice of paper pour it inside the nail polish. 3. Enjoy your new and homemade nail polish! 

This is something really affordable and easy to do. You can always make other colors, like gold or pink! 

This nail polish is perfect to use for this christmas or for the winter. It is also a simple but a lovely gift for a friend. (: 

I wish you a happy happy christmas and a great new year! 

1000 hugs, Monica
