Sock Bun

The Sock Bun

1. Cut the toes off of the sock and roll like a donut

2. Put hair in a ponytail and then put hair from said ponytail through the sock

3. Bring the sock close to the ends and wrap the ends around the sock.

4. Keep wrapping/rolling the hair until there is no more hair to roll.

5. The first time I did this it took me a few tries..don't get discouraged.

6. If you leave your hair like this all day/night when you take it out you will have nice big curls.

Some Pinteresting Ideas

Pinterest has done it again, it inspires pretty much everything I do, that may be a little extreme, but I do feel like I am referring to pinterst qutie often. This week I re-created an outfit and made a Banana Cream Pie. The pie was To.Die.For. I dream about it at night it is that good.

First up is the pie. You can find it pinned here.

And here is my pie:

I've realized the pie pictures aren't that exciting, but trust me it tastes oh so good.

And second is the outfit pinsperation found here

(Her picture looks so much better haha)

And the recreation...

BTW notice the string going between the boots? I ordered these online and I ordered the WRONG color, I am going to exchanged them, but I still used them for the picture :) I am not a very experienced online shopper, this is the first pair of shoes I have ever bought online and I managed to mess it up. Oh well... live and learn right. I am linking up over here:

Lucky Girl

I came downstairs this morning to a basket full of my favorite treats that Chad put together for me! I'm gonna brag for a minute about what a thoughtful husband I have. Our life is far from perfect, there are so many things we would like to be different and to improve. But even through all the difficult times I am so lucky I have this guy who takes great care of me and loves me so much. Some girls may be impressed by diamonds or jewerly, but Chad knows how to win me over is through sugar and snacks! I felt pretty special carrying this into work today :)

Hollywood Stay-Cation

I love the weekends. No work, no schedule, no computer. Chad and I have made it a goal of ours to venture out from the South Bay and explore the greater LA area. So often we stay here, play volleyball in Hermosa, go out to eat in Redondo, and walk around the same little shops in Manhattan. This weekend we went to Hollywood. We enjoyed the warm weather, the free entertainment that Hollywood Blvd offers, and a delicious dinner at the Oldest Italian Restaurant in Hollywood.  The perfect stay-cation.

Pantages theater, I saw Les Mis here when I was in high school.

Always entertaining to see the cast of characters dressed up. I was being incognito because I didn't want to pay tips for taking pictures. They are very aggressive in asking for money.

Give it up for the King of Pop. This guy was so weird, definitely drugged up.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea...

Marilyn and Cat Woman

Don't know this guys name, but he's from Harry Potter. And why is he looking so creepy behind his umbrella??

I would love to stay at the Roosevelt Hotel someday!

 

The Chinese Theater

Forget about sightseeing this guy was/is so excited about his iphone.

 

Matching my hand print, not sure who's I am matching. This kind of grossed me out, all the hands and feet that have been in the imprints, but I still did it anyways. (I carried anti-bacterial in my purse).



Don't judge me because of the stars I took pics of...

Hollywood & Highland Mall

Gosh, I love this guy!

I forgot to upload my pictures from Dinner, we ate at the cutest Italian Restaurant. The ambiance was amazing, old brick walls, live piano music, and dim lighting...so romantic.

After dinner we went to ComedySportz. I had gotten a Groupon a few months ago and we finally used it. We used to go to ComedySportz in Provo and loved it. I'll have to say that the one in Provo is my favorite, I love the Mormon Culture jokes that they always used. Still we had a great night!

Gold Striped Nails

My friend Erin had this cute idea pinned on pinterest here, and I loved the way it looked. Last night she came over and we did our nails together. This is pretty similar to the candy corn nails, just different colors. I found a WAY easier way to do it from Lauren Conrad's beauty website. Check out the instructions here. And before we began painting our nails we took care of them first. We massaged Olive Oil onto our cuticles and then combined the oil with Coarse Salt for an exfoliant and then moisturized our 10 digits :). Idea from here.

Colors used:
Gold- Sally Hansen Gilty Pleasure
Green: Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet 
Coral: Essie Tart Deco

Doctor's Orders

I mentioned in my post yesterday that I had an eye infection. This seems to be a recurring theme in my life lately. My eyes burn with my contacts in, burn when I take them out, are light sensitive and really watery. My wonderful boss made me an appointment for this morning with her eye doctor. He was the cutest old man and really seemed to know what he was talking about, a great quality for an eye Doctor, (yes both cute and smart). He put some iodine in my eyes and said it looked like someone threw darts at my eyes, forgot the medical terminology. Apparently I am not changing my contacts every two weeks, I was trying to stretch them out so I wouldn't have to buy them as often and I could spend more money on nail polish, ha ha, not kidding. I've been wearing contacts for half my life, and glasses since I was 8. I thought I knew how to work the system and take care of my eyes. Guess I was wrong and now the doctor said I can't wear contacts for about a week. Really? A week? I hate wearing glasses, they never stay on my nose comfortably, they aren't as clear as contacts, I feel like I am the nerd from 4th grade again and the worst part...trying to wear sunglasses! For now this is what I will have to do while I spend my lunches outside enjoying the 85 degree weather here at the beach. Don't make fun ;)

I'm thinking about getting Laser Eye Surgery...

Any suggestions? Recommendations for the LA area?

Pinterest Recreation

It's no secret that I love Pinterest. I've posted about a few of my pinterest recreations here, here and here. I was excited that Cami over at All Things Lovely loves pinterest too. She does a weekly pinterest Link Up, for all to share their pinterest inspired creations. It can be anything from fashion to cooking, crafts... anything. I was inspired by this outfit creation from polyvore. I had to add the sunglasses because I woke up with a nasty eye infection that I didn't want to share with all of you. Believe me you don't want to see it, it's red, puffy, and has water running out of it that compares to Niagra Falls. Anyways, feel free to link up over here and join the fun.
