Goodbye 2012

Etsy

Not only do I do amazing hair (not to toot my own horn, but toot, toot!), I also am a little crafty and can make a few things. Well because I like to make things, I have decided to open up my own little Etsy shop. It is called, ForLoveofSparkles!  It has bracelets, hair pieces, and much more! Go check it out. Here are a few pieces that are in my shop.

 

 

If you are in the Omaha area, stop by Chroma the Salon on 144th and Maple and check out some of the bracelets!  Much love! =)

Matrix

I carry a variety of hair products. I also feel like I try out everything that comes out. (My hubby would agree!) I just like to be able to find the best for my clients and myself! I also like to find the best of each price range. Matrix is a very affordable line that makes your hair feel amazing. (and your bank account smile!)  The line I carry is Total Results. The line is made up of 6 different types. They are:  Amplify, for limp, lifeless hair - Color Care, for color protection - Curl, for frizzless curls - Moisture, to hydrate those dry locks - Repair, for hair restoration from the inside out - Sleek, for smooth, repaired hair.  (Repair is not shown)

The 2 most popular shampoos and conditioners are Sleek and Color Care. The other ones are just as wonderful though. If you haven't tried one of them, I would reccomend you do so! If you are in the Omaha area on Sunday, these puppies will be 20% off their already low price! (woah, salesperson just came out! Ha!) I hope you all have an amazing weekend! Much love! =)

November Recap

I cannot believe it is already December! It definitely does not feel like it-at all! We sat outside around our fire pit a few nights ago. As much as I do love fall, I am so ready for some snow!! I know I'm part of the few, but it's Christmas time and I need snow! Plus our lights outside will look so much better with a lil snow!! It just needs to snow if December and maybe a little in January, but after that it can go away!! Right? We need a winter wonderland for Christmas! Weatherman, help me out! =)

So November is always a busy month (not as busy as December). Here are just a few snap shots from my phone from the month of November.

Today I'm starting to get ready for my Holiday Sale that is going to be this Sunday at Chroma. Great gifts and stocking stuffers for Christmas. Don't miss out on it! It's from 12-4!! Much love! =)

Big Hair, Don't Care

I absolutely love to wear my hair curly. I feel like I've been doing those loose, wavy curls quite a bit lately, so I decided to change it up! Super curly, BIG hair! (Well not Texas big, but big!) Now, it takes a lot longer to do this type of hairstyle, but I think it's worth it. Especially on those special occasions!!

Speaking of big occasions... My birthday is this Saturday... okay, so I don't know how to feel about turning the BIG 3-0. I mean it's just another birthday, but I'm no longer in my 20's. Does this mean I have to become an adult? Ugh, I can't believe we are old enough to be 30. All of our friends are married and having babies on purpose now. When did we grow up? I kinda miss the care-free days, even though I couldn't wait to grow up! As much as I complain about turning 30, looking back, I am so happy and proud of where I'm at now. I have a career that I absolutely love, an amazing guy by my side, a huge family I couldn't live without and the best friends a girl could ask for. So I guess 30 isn't so bad! (I just better get going on the night creams to prevent those wrinkles that are gonna start comin in!)

Well, back to hair...

Sorry for the blurry picture!  I started off with sectioning my hair off. I took small sections and then curled them back and forth. (like in the curly video I posted last month.) Make sure you spray Hot Spray on each section before curling-helps with hold and protection)  After curling, you can back comb the top layer for added height or just give them a blast with hairspray! =)

Well I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I'll let you all know if I get a wrinkle after turning 30!! Much love!! =)
