How To: Soft Flat Iron Curls

How To: Soft Flat Iron Curls
Recently I've had a lot of requests for a step-by-step on these curls - These curls are done with a flat iron. A huge part of getting your flat iron curls to turn out is using the right kind of flat iron! When picking out a flat iron that's good for curling, look for one that's skinny, has rounded edges, and gets somewhat hot on the outside of the plates as well. For these curls I used the GHD Classic Styler. Also, don't be fooled by those kiosks in the mall claiming their flat irons are the only ones designed to curl and straighten. See a video tutorial for flat iron curls HERE. 1. 3. 5. 7. 9. 11. Lovely flat iron waves! Recommended Products:

does PINTEREST KNOW EVERYTHING? If you haven't read about why we do these posts, check out the explanation in our first "Does Pinterest Know Everything?" post. So Pinterest told me that if I braided my hair and then used a straightener on those braids, that I would end up with these beautiful waves. So naturally I click on the picture to see a tutorial and I just end up on an image. Here is my hair before, completely straight. Split all of your hair into two parts and then braid each part and secure with a hair tie of your choosing. Take one of the braids and twist it tightly away from your face. Place the straightener around the twisted braid and instead of just pulling the straightener down... Twist the straightener in the same direction the hair is twisted. This is what the braids looked like after being "straightened." When your hair has completely cooled, pull out your hair ties and run your fingers through the braids to release them. This is a front view of my hair. -Fast and easy -Inconsistent

How to Make your Stainless Shine Addition: Hi y'all! I just have to say WOW, I can't believe the traffic that this post has been getting from pinterest, other bloggers, home improvement sites, and even personal recomendations. Thank you to everyone who has commented or emailed about this post. I just have a few things I should add. - I don't clean my sink like this every day...this is for when I have a really dirty sink and it needs a good deep clean. When I just want a standard clean I just use vinegar and baking soda with boiling water to rinse it off. - This specific way to shine my sink was used after I had painted several rooms and rinsed dirty brushes in my kitchen sink. - I clean in a almost all "green" way, and I'm not bothered by the use of goo-gone. - To everyone who has a different cleaning method. So if you're the owner of a stainless sink {or any sink for that matter!} Supplies - Vinegar {In a spray bottle} - Baking Soda - Boiling Water - Goo-Gone - Olive Oil - Sponge - Paper Towels or Rag Directions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

One more Moore: Spring is here! Doesn't it feel good? It's warming up here in Southern California (well, it's always warm...but you know.) We hit the beach for the first time this year on St. You need a small stockpot filled about 2/3 full with water. 1 lemon, sliced, and a few sprigs of rosemary (on a cold dark night, armed with scissors, I did a little snippy snip of rosemary from the apartment bldg next door. Then add 1-2 tsp of vanilla: (can I get a HUZZAH for taking the picture while pouring the vanilla???) I let it simmer all day long, adding water as needed. Here's to Spring!

More Uses for Epsom Salts | All Natural Annie Epsom Salts are such a great inexpensive and therapeutic addition to a bath. But don’t stop there because they can also be used as: a Body Scrub – add a spoonful of crushed epsom salts to a palm full of body wash and exfoliate damp skin. to create Wavy Hair – mix a teaspoon of salts + a few drops of olive or jojoba oil + 1/4 cup H20 in a spritzer bottle and mist on damp hair. Results will vary (especially if your hair is normally extremely straight), but you should hopefully see some difference in the form of additional waves and texture! Like this: Like Loading...

* Maria's Self *: DIY Toilet Bombs - Deodorize & Kill Bacteria! Just Drop One in the Bowl;-))) Remember I told you in my previous post that the next product in my store will be an "outside the box" one? Well, you've been warned;-))) I came up with the idea of Toilet Bombs a few months ago. At first I thought it would be embarrassing to make a post about them but I fell so much in love with these toilet bombs that I just HAD to share the idea with you - I'm seriously addicted! When I drop them in the toilet bowl they start fizzing (= exploding;-) and not only do they smell amazing they also deodorize, kill the bacteria (including the odor-causing ones!) WHAT I USE: (for approx. 24 bombs) --1 1/3 cup Baking Soda - amazing for all-natural cleaning AND deodorizing! --1/2 cup Citric Acid - (low-strength acid that exists naturally in fruits like lemons & oranges) - used in many kitchen & bathroom cleaners for its cleaning, whitening & deodorizing properties *** All three oils I use have great antimicrobial properties and kill odor-causing bacteria PLUS this combo smells heavenly!!!

Mockaguiden II – Att vårda mocka Den främsta anledningen till att många undviker mocka är svårigheten att vårda och hålla efter materialet. Men det finns tips och knep som håller mockaskorna snygga. Manolo har listat allt du behöver veta. Grunden i mockavården är en bra mockaborste som tar bort smuts och samtidigt ruggar upp själva ytan. Hemligheten är att borsta åt ett samma håll, företrädelsevis i riktning mot skons tå. Det gör att mockans fibrer drar åt samma håll och blir slätare. När skorna börjar bli riktigt smutsiga är ett bra tips att borsta upp skorna över ett kokande vattenbad. Ett klassiskt husmorstips för lite envisare fläckar och saltränder är en vattenlösning med lite pressad citronsaft i. Om inte ovanstående knep biter finns det speciella lädertvålar och schampoon som rengör mer på djupet. Ett ytterligare tips för riktigt ihärdiga fläckar är att punktbehandla fläckarna med ett väldigt finkornigt sandpapper. Impregneringsspray är svårundvikligt när det kommer till mocka.
