HAPPY EASTER to all of our readers, followers & to our fave hair bloggers!!
How was your "Easter Egg Hunting" adventures?? Well, me & my daughter already had our egg hunting weeks before. You can read about our "Pre-Easter Egg Hunting" fun by clicking this link: "IT'S OFFICIALLY SUMMER TIME!"
Anyway, here is our "Easter Hairstyle" for this year 2013. We call it the "4-STRAND ACCENT BRAIDS"
I have seen these hairstyle in almost all of my favorite hair bloggers. There are also different versions of this one and it is pretty easy to do once you mastered doing the 4-strand simple braids.
This is just what my daughter wore for the day at home. Here are some more pics of this hairstyle:

A closer look at the braids
Side view of the hairstyle
It's a simple 4 strand braiding technique. The 4th strand you just have to make into a simple braid first to have that "accent" effect when you do this braid.
You can also use a ribbon instead as your 4th strand "4-STRAND RIBBON BRAID". That was what we used for Easter last year. Here's the pic of the 4-strand ribbon hairstyle:
So which one did you like best?? Whatever hairstyle you pick to wear on this day, I hope you all had a great and fun Easter. And don't forget the main reason we are celebrating it is because our Lord has risen again!
"It's Easter Sunday!! And kids love this day because of the Easter Egg Hunt events! But, most of all we should remember that on this day our Lord has risen again.
Just to join the fun of it, we re-created a hairstyle we saw on CUTE GIRLS HAIRSTYLES. It is literally an "Easter Egg Hairstyle" because you are going to use cute colorful plastic eggs in order to do this hairstyle. See my pic below:
It is so easy to do!!! And all you need are elastics, ribbons, and those cute, colorful plastic eggs. First, all you have to do is part your daughter's hair from top to bottom to make 2 ponies or pigtails. Tie them first with a black elastic. Now on the first ponytail, divide it into 4 equal parts. Each part you will braid normally (simple 3-strand braids), and tie the ends with different colored elastics. Do the same thing on the other half pony. Now, wrap an elastic around the braids about an inch or 2 below the top elastic. Once you tied them already, you can insert one colored Easter egg. Just adjust the tightness of the elastics below the egg. For additional security, wrap another elastic in the middle of the egg/braid. Do another of this set and then you can tie the ends with an elastic or ribbon. Then do the same on the other pony tail. See pic below for reference:
You can add your fave colored ribbon to add some spice and fun to this hairstyle. You can add the ribbon on top or at the bottom of the pony tails.
And that's it!! I hope you guys try it. Happy Easter!!" **Don't forget to watch out for our NEW EASTER HAIRSTYLE 2013 post** Lots of Love,
Here in the Philippines, we Catholics are now celebrating "PALM SUNDAY". It culminates the start of the Holy Week.
My daughter and i went to church and attended the mass.
inside the church people lined up with their palm leaves
Palm Leaves being waved at the start of the mass to be blessed with Holy Water
Anyway, I would like to share to you my daughter's hairstyle when we went to church. It was inspired from Princess Hairstyles http://www.princesshairstyles.com/ and it is called the "curvy french braiding-cascading veil".
This is the original hairstyle that inspired me to do it's from PrincessHairstyles.com
The way i did this hairstyle was a bit different from Kori's original hairstyle. Though i did the same braids on both side, the difference is how i did the cascading braid/veil on the middle part of the hair. Plus, i ended this hairstyle in a braided ponytail. This is how it turned out/look like on my daughter's hair:
As you can see at the back i ended it into a braided ponytail. To achieve this, i first tied the 2 side braids to the remaining loose hair into a pony. Then the 3rd braid (the one in the middle) i wrapped it around the ponytail. Then i made a simple plait braid. I added some cute hair accessories. On top is a black velvet small hat clip and at the bottom of the ponytail i added a black flower clip. Plus, i so loved these pretty butterfly earrings she wore.
These we all purchased at an accessory/jewelry store named BROADWAY GEMS. Now if you wanna do the original hairstyle from PrincessHairstyles.com, just click the link below and you will see a video tutorial also for the said hairstyle: http://www.princesshairstyles.com/2011/07/cage-braids-curvy-french-braided.html Have a blessed Sunday to all!! Lots of Love,
It's the end of School Year 2012-2013, Graduations, Recognition or Moving Up Ceremonies, and an early Easter Egg Hunt.......It is definitely SUMMER in the Philippines!!
This March a lot of students will bid their schools, classmates, teachers & friends goodbye. Some will graduate (either from elementary, high school, or college), some will transfer to different schools and some will simply just have their SUMMER VACATION.
My daughter is officially on her Summer vacation now. It started last March 16, 2013. And when it's Summer vacation, it means going over to my parents' house to spend her vacation with them & her cousin Aaron. We are also celebrating, starting tomorrow March 24 Sunday, the HOLY WEEK. Tomorrow Sunday is Palm Sunday. And after 1 week we will be celebrating EASTER SUNDAY! Last Thursday, March 21, 2013, my daughter together with her cousin had an "early" Easter Egg Hunting event. It was held in my sister's office at ABS-CBN.
Here is my daughter's hairstyle and outfit for the said event:
I call this hairstyle the "TWIST LACE BRAIDS & TWISTS PONYTAIL". I think I am loving a lot of "twists" hairstyles nowadays. They are so fun to wear especially this Summer time.
Here is my daughter's outfit. The sheer top and the cute shorts are from the brand WITCHERY from Australia. My aunt gave it. Her accessories (bangles & earrings) are from FOREVER 21. My daughter looked like a young lady already here:
My daughter & nephew had so much fun. They enjoyed the loot bags they got plus some prizes because they were part of the TOP 5 Early Bird Awardees plus they both got 2 special Easter eggs which they can exchange for prizes.
Here are some of the yummy treats being offered to the kiddos at the said event. And mind you, they can take as many as they want from these yummy treats:
It was a fun, fun, fun day for the both of them. They really enjoyed this kind of activity together. I'll be posting some more "EASTER-inspired Hairstyles" again next week. So watch out for it. By the way tonight, here in the Philippines we will be participating in the so called EARTH HOUR, wherein we will be turning OFF all the lights from 8:30-9:30 PM.
Let us all join this Global Community in saving our planet Earth. 'Til next time....Happy Hair Styling, & Happy Summer to all! Lots of Love,
I found a new interest last month (as i am still reading posts from my fave hair bloggers).......ARTS & CRAFTS!!! And I am starting to learn on how to make your own HAIR ACCESSORIES from things found in our very home!
Becky, mom of 3 beautiful girls known as Goose, Bug & Bee and the owner/blogger of Babes in Hairland, made this cute Nylon Headbands from baby/ballet tights.
It's actually pretty easy to do. All you will be needing are the nylon tights, scissors, measuring tape, lighter (to burn seal the edges of the tights), needle & thread, ribbons & glue gun.
You can also add up some other things to accessorize your headband once it is done such as a cute ribbon, flowers, or gems/crystals. Here are some of the examples of the nylon headband where flowers were added:
2) POP-TAB RIBBON HEADBAND by PRINCESS HAIRSTYLES
Kori owns the blog/website The Story of a Princess & her Hair. As most of you who follows/reads my blog, knows that this is the first hair blog that taught me hair styling!
Anyways, who would've thought that you can make a wonderful hair accessory using POP-TABS?!?!?!! Well, this is definitely a first for me. I never knew you can do many things using pop-tabs. When i saw this in Kori's blog, i was so amazed!! This hair accessory is so pretty! She said she saw this on Youtube and tried doing it too.
To make this, you will be needing lots & lots of pop-tabs (so start collecting them now) around 45-50 pieces, 7-8 feet long of any of your choice ribbons, 2 small safety pins, & scissors.
She made a headband, belt, and her daughter made a bracelet using the pop-tabs. It all depends on how long you are going to make it. Check out the pics below:

Here's the link to the video tutorial of this project:
Right now, i haven't done any of these yet. As for the nylon headbands, well, i already gave away my daughter's old ballet tights. Too bad :( So i have to either buy new ones or ask from friends who have baby girls who doesn't use their baby tights or ballet tights anymore :)
For the pop-tabs headband, i am still collecting pop-tabs. WOW! finding them is kinda hard. I have to ask friends, family for them to save pop-tabs and give it to me.
Once i start making them and finishing doing these crafts i will be proud to show it to all of you!
So, try them out too guys! It will be a nice project!
