October Blossom of the Month and a hood dryer!

I have spent the day at home today, lots of pain and just trying to cope with a whole lot of health issues.  I honestly was having quite a pity party for myself.  That stopped quick.
My darling husband went to run some errands (he has Friday's off).  When he returned to his sniveling wife he came in bearing gifts.  Oh the joy!   I swear I'm worse than a little kid.  Give me a box wrapped in packing tape and I'm yours.

The first box I opened was my Blossom of the Month (BOM) from belleblossoms.com and I have to tell you, these monthly boxes are like getting Christmas every single month.  No spoilers here for those of you who are waiting for yours.  All I am going to say is HOLY WOW HEATHER! She did it again.  Just when I think I could not possibly love a hair flower more, she sends another fantastic piece!  How she does it I just don't know.  This lifted a whole lot of the gloom and doom from my day. 

Box number two...it was obvious what it was because it was something he picked up for me at the store...the lovely, wonderful hair and hair products store here in town....he bought me a hood dryer.  You would think he brought me a fist full of diamonds.  I have wanted a good dryer for EVER.  I hate wet setting rollers at night only to find one or two are still damp in the morning throwing off my "do". NO MORE! I HAVE BEEN RELEASED! 

He bought me this one...excuse the poor quality of my excited picture taking:

The high heat setting isn't kidding.  It's roughly the temperature of a turkey roaster within about three minutes.  The medium setting is fantastic.  The timer function is a must AND the cool setting for about five minutes at the end of your time sets those curls in tight!

Of course I tried it.  I didn't care that my hair was basically done...even if I'm sniveling around at home....


Don't you love the tiny glimpse of me peeking around the box....Such a great photographer!

Anyway,  if you want to see the BOM  there is a video of the "unboxing" on the facebook page. 

I'm telling you...BOM is addictive. 
Turning a bad day into a good one doesn't take much...just a couple of boxes.  Both of them delivered with a huge heart and a hug!  I really feel like BOM comes with a hug in each box.  Thanks Heather and thanks Dave.  You two made my day!

Day two...Victory Rolls!

This is day two of my pin curl set.  I went with victory rolls. This video features my 16 yr old daughter Abigail.  She just kinda creeps through... gotta love it!

Barrel curls

It's a humid day here.  I'm annoyed because I'm still dealing with the pain in my leg from an injury two months ago.  So how do I deal with it? Barrel curls!  I found the best video on youtube and I decided to play.  I can only sit for about ten minutes at a time before I have to move around a little so this look was the easiest and quickest for me. 
Check out this fab video!  I totally want a vintage hat.  Anyone got one they want to part with?

Anyway, isn't she just the cutest thing ever????!!!  After watching her last night I had to try it.  My hair is cut with blunt bangs and is much shorter than her beautiful locks.  This is what I got....

August Blossom of the Month from Belleblossoms.com

A huge thank you to KoontzFan2  for her tutorial.  I'm lovin it! 

Now, the search for the hat begins!

See you later!

Oh my goodness! Time to save on some great products!

Ladies....I'm sorry to report that Lime Crime is discontinuing their Magic Dust loose eye shadows.  On the plus side...they are 40% off when you use the code MAGIC40 so this is a great time to stock up on some pigment with a punch!  Just follow the link to their site on the left side of this page. 

I want to talk a little bit about one of my favorite hair accessories today.  I love a snood.  They are easy to wear and have such a great look.  I personally like to team them with a blossom from Belle Blossoms or with a cute bow.  I have to say, they save time on your "do" too.  Can't tell you how many times I've gotten my victory rolls just right and the back of my hair just will not cooperate.  A snood is the perfect answer with the perfect vintage look.  Belle Blossoms has a great selection and you can find them here. They even have complete instructions as to how to wear them!

Love it with a big flower!
Another great site is an etsy store that I love.  ArtheliasAttic is where you can get hand made snoods in a multitude of colors.  They are made from vintage patterns and I adore them. I'm wearing a beautiful chocolate brown one right now with a big red rose.  I can't say enough about the quality of these snoods.  They are a must have for any vintage gal.

paired with the July BOM from Belle Blossoms


Too cute with its bow!
So, check out a snood!  Make sure you shop the 40% off clearance at Lime Crime too!

Have a fantastic day!
