princess leia without buns.

17 Oct

You may remember my recent references to the awesome virtual pinboard site Pinterest. It’s a really cool way to organize and share the awesome things/beautiful images that you find on the internet. One of my “boards” is called locks to lust for. It’s a collection of hairstyles and haircuts that I like as well as a few DIY hair projects. Well a few days ago I came across an image on Pinterest that caught my eye and so I clicked it and was taken to the site where it was originally posted.

What I found was a retelling of a blogger’s experience with “no-heat curls.” She apparently has super straight hair and yet this method worked really well! She also shared a tutorial video that a video blogger made and put on youtube. SO. I decided to try it myself and I am also passing on the wealth of information that I discovered.

At this point, I am halfway in. My hair is done and waiting for me to go to sleep so the hair fairies can make it perfect by the time I wake up tomorrow morning. Needless to say, I am currently rocking some serious princess leia hair, minus the buns. Or maybe it’s more of a grecian goddess look. Either way, I am loving it and had to share it with all of you. I can’t wait to see what the result is tomorrow morning!

Here is my “before” look:

happy hairtime to all of you

I Can Do That.

12 Sep

Do you ever think to yourself,

I can do that. I know that I could be really good at doing that, I just have no idea how.

I’ve been feeling that way lately, and ya know what? I’m making a change. I’m going to do just that. Details to follow, but be prepared. I’m doing it.

il y a deux ans…

August 29th, 2009 I boarded a plane to France from the Dulles Airport. And now it is September 2nd, 2011. Two years have gone by. I spent one of the most amazing years of my life in Rennes and made such incredible friends. I returned to the US and after a year of hard work, I graduated with honors from DU. And now I am embarking on a new and very scary adventure called “real life.”

How is it that so much time has passed and so many life-changing things have happened? I miss it so much. How do I go back? Take me there.
