The Beautiful Uncut Hair Of Graves . . .

Ah, the boredom of a winter day. Whenever I enter boredom I love playing with my hair pulling and primping and this Christmas my sister got me this amazing new curling iron. Not having much to do today I finally has the chance to play around with it. I discovered that this curling iron is possibly the best I have ever had. It produces beautiful waves that I have been attempting to perfect forever! Below I have added pictures of the finished product and what I items I used to complete this look. If you too want to try out this hairstyle I have put together a youtube video that you can check out here or on my channel! Thanks All!

Chirtsmas, Christmas Time Is Here . . .

Good evening all!! I just wanted to take some time out of the holiday rush to wish you all a very merry Christmas. Keep safe and I hope that Santa is good to you this year. Spend your holidays surrounded by those who you love and make many memories. Give, Receive, Drink and be Merry!

Below I wanted to share some of my Christmas favourites. Take a look! Have a laugh!

A holiday classic. Thank you SNL!

Hallelujah, Holy Shit.. Where's the Tylenol.. <3

I love the original. But common.. It's RDJ. How could you not love it!
Never, has anyone been so excited about the prospect of Santa.

No, I am not Jewish. But this song.. Kinda makes me wish I was..

 
Keepin' it classy.

To all, have yourself a merry little Christmas.

I will be talking to you all in the New Year. I am sure I will have a bundle of stories as I am heading off to Niagara with the two best/craziest people in the world. It is sure to be one helluva time!
