All things J

I'm sure you all have seen Andrea's Choice very creative video on how to make a super cute bikini cover up!! If not, come out from under that rock and check out the video here :p Now, I don't have an old cotton dress, so for my first try I opt for an old pencil skirt that got oil stained. This is what I did 1. Put card board between the skirt to avoid nipping the other side of the skirt. Then I start slowly cutting it into strips until I reach the waist band.                                          2. I gently pull each string so they become rounded              3. I carefully tie adjacent strings together in knots, row by row (watch the video) 4. I cut off the bottom hem/fold and tag Not too shabby!! (OUTFIT with a real bikini next time, lol) Next time I will try it with something flared (not straight/pencil) Blessings Jen

So, I tried a bantu-out (for the 100th time). This time on dry, non-manipulated (no heat etc.) hair. I also did them a little smaller than usual.                               Product used: Blue Magic Leave in Conditioner with Mango and Lime                  I did this style for the boat-ride as well (sea-ing blue post) and it came out marvelous!!                                UGH!! I am determined to MASTER the bantu- out. I will not give up. :)  Results: 3/10 Blessings Jen

Only agreed to cause Idris Elba was in there. His character was a bit funny too :) I'm not really into the syfy thing (unless it's x files), but it was a pretty good movie, especially the last... 2 mins *wink*~~ Happy Tuesday Blessings Jen

Apply Blue Magic Argon Oil with mango & lime 2. Apply Carol's Daughter CHOCOLAT Blow Dry Cream 3. Blow Dry- Tension Method 4. Apply Olive Oil 5. Bantu twist I took some of the bantu out and clipped them back to tie my hair for the gym Check out youtube video here Results (6-5-12)                                                                             SO 60s Remember I have that undercut?

I could not get my hair to stay down in the back, hence the 'pushed up' look.                                                                      Rings of the day Enjoy your weekend!! Blessings Jen
