So, before I begin this hair tutorial, let me just say……..I didn’t know I was making the same face the ENTIRE time. Sheesh! Now that that’s off my chest, it’s good to be back! When Chandra asked that I post a hair tutorial for Valentine’s Day, I begin to think of what I would want to see. Valentine’s is romantic. Fun. Lovely. Sigh. So, here we go!
I began with hair/curls from the previous day. I definitely recommend starting with volume in your hair.
So whatever you need to do, blow dry, wavy curls, etc. If you’re hair is curly already, you’re all set!
Since my hair does not have a natural wave, I curled my “bangs”.
My hair is not cut, so I just curled the shortest pieces of my hair in front.
I then secure my hair in a ponytail, leaves out the pieces that I just curled.
I personally think leaving it there is pretty, but I’m not quite finished!
I take my ponytail and twist it up into a side bun.
Pull, twist, and secure, and you’re done!
Now you have a soft and romantic updo for your Valentine’s evening out!
Oh, and you can add a cute headband too!
I added my pearl headband, because in mind, pearls are of ultimate romance. Teehee!
Happy Wednesday, and have a lovely Valentine’s Day tomorrow!!
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments.

Every once in awhile, when I’m feeling fancy, I do my hair like this. It is vintage inspired, just like my first hair tutorial on MoMoMod.
You are guaranteed to get plenty of compliments and “how did you DO that?!” questions. 
(My apologies for a couple of blurry pictures)
Items needed: Hairspray, hair ties, and a few bobby pins.
Step 1: Take the front section of your hair, and split that section in half.
Use hairspray to define strands and tame flyaways.
Step 2: Start at your ends, and roll up and inward.
Once you have rolled your strand all the way up, secure with bobby pins.
Tip: if you keep the pins hidden, it will look better in the end!
Step 3: Secure the rest of your hair into a ponytail, and twist into a bun
And you’re done! Enjoy your vintage inspired do!
Happy Friday!

This summer I am all about braiding! I did another braided hair tutorial here a few weeks ago. I feel like I am the last one to jump on the train of the Fishtail braid, but here we go! I’ll be demonstrating an updo that took me about 10-15 minutes.
Begin by taking your hair and loosely arranging it (sort of braiding), and secure it with an elastic.
After securing, start your fishtail braid.
If you have never done the Fishtail before, here are some quick and simple directions:
1. Divide your hair into two sections.
2. Take a thin piece from the outside of the right strand and join it with the left strand.
3. Take a thin piece from the outside of the left strand and join it with the right strand.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 until your braid is at your preferred length, and secure with an elastic.
Loosen and pull strands of the braid to create a fuller and thicker look.
Twist up into a bun and pin. You’re done!
Have a good weekend!

Today I will be posting 3 homemade remedies for your skin! It is officially summer, and especially important to take care of your skin! Whether your skin dries out, or gets oily (mine, big time!), it needs to be protected. Here are some simple ways to create your own facials right at home! I love these ideas. PS: thank you, Pintrest.
Remedy 1: Baking Soda Facial
Step 1: Add 3 tablespoons of baking soda, and one tablespoon of water. Mix well. If you need to add a little more baking soda, do so. You want it to be more of a paste.
Step 2: Rub in circles all over your face and let it dry. After the first layer is dry, add a second layer. Once that is dry, wash your face with warm water and a washcloth.
Step 3: Moisturize!! The baking soda acts as a natural exfoliant, so make sure you use face lotion as soon as you’re done!
Use: 2-3 times a week.
Remedy 2: Lemon juice, olive oil, and honey.
Step 1: Add equal parts of all ingredients into a small container, and mix well.
Step 2: Apply in circles on your face. Let the facial sit for ten minutes.
Step 3: Wash off with warm water, and it make be a little sticky.
Use: 2-3 times a week.
Remedy 3: 1 cup of oatmeal, yogurt, 1/2 an apple (grated), and 1/2 a cup of lemon juice.
Step 1: Mix the oatmeal and yogurt, then add the grated apple and lemon juice.
Step 2: Apply to your face and let it sit for 15-20 minutes
Step 3: Rinse clean with warm water and pat dry.
Use: About two times a week.
Simple, right? And really, we all love a little pampering don’t we? Yes, yes we do.
How do you take care of your skin? Any secrets to share?
Happy weekend!
