How To Play Ukulele. Whether or not you know anything about how to play ukulele, we offer different levels of study that should challenge you only as much as you need. If you do not know how to play the ukulele, you will probably benefit from the beginner's lessons in the primary level. If you already know how to play a stringed intstrument, such as the guitar, you will find the beginner's lessons a great introduction to the unique requirements of a uke, but the lessons in the basic level will probably cover stuff you'll already know if you know how to play the guitar. Basic uke lessons will teach you what you need to know to get by with a uke. You'll learn how to play the most common chords, how to change chords comfortably and cleanly, and you'll learn how to play either with other musicians or to accompany your own singing. If you already know how to play, and find reading out of song books with chord charts simple, you're probably ready for advanced ukulele lessons.

Wednesday - Blog - messiest, merriest and whirliest DIY balls. The weeks leading up to the Everee Wednesday photo shoot were full of some pretty significant messes! Nearly every detail of the photo shoot was handmade. So, we wanted to share our absolute favorite DIY project with you, sweet friends! Now you can't say we didn't warn you.

The level of messiness involved in this project definitely warrants the great outdoors or a tarp covered floor in your home. However, I think you will find that the fun you had along the way and the final product makes the mess completely worth it! Gather up: Big balloon Sharpie Scissors Cotton yarn 4 oz. Directions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Get Yo' Nails Did. Okay, so we’re only three weeks in to this whole thing and I’m already showing you a tame look after I totally promised some of you that I’d do a newsprint nail tutorial this week. Newsprint we can do next week, but for right now I wanted/needed a manicure by a professional.

As I told you in the first “Get Yo’ Nails Did”, it’s important to include real manicures in your nail routine if you’re not comfortable cutting your cuticles and getting into the real work at home. I am not. I’m willing to shell out $20 bucks to have the dirty work done right, but I’m not going to splurge on nail art at the salon most of the time. As you can see from the photo above, I prefer to do a basic manicure but make it a little different by switching up the colors on my index and middle fingers. This is my “understated yet classy” look and while it still may be a bit much for some of you, you can choose colors that don’t contrast so much.
