DIY: lets get CORNy :)

It's almost Thanksgiving and everytime I think about this particular holiday, corn instantly comes to mind. So why not celebrate it with a little corn. With just a few steps and craft items you probably have laying around the house, you can make your own corn headband!

Items needed (in picture above):
-a glue gun (bought at A. C. Moore for 2.99 it is a mini glue gun and doesn't get too hot so you may touch the glue after application and not get burned and it gets the job done)
-glue sticks (it only took me half a stick for the whole project)
-scrapbooking paper in yellow and green
-head bands (glittery ones were found at A. C. More from the line "LALiBERI" by Julie Comstock, they come three to a pack for around $3.00)
- yellow rhinestones
-green glitter puffy paint
bought: at Michaels and A.C. Moore

1. Cut out a lemon looking oval from the yellow scrapbooking paper.
From the green scrapbooking paper cut out leaves.
2. Glue the green leaves to the yellow corn by overlapping the green onto the yellow and make sure the corn doesn't stick out the bottom. (Glue gun was used to glue them together)
3. Take a paint brush and your green glitter puffy paint and paint the glitter on the leaves to add pizazz. After it has dried, glue the corn to the headband. (Also glued by glue gun and very easy)
4. To add "bling" (which is what every glamour girl needs) glue yellow rhinestones to the corn.


The finished product: very cute, catches the eye, and the most glamorous DIY accessory for the fall season :)
(disregard my pitiful hair in the picture, I'm a college kid and I woke up very early this morning for class and I go to a women's college, so it doesn't matter haha)

Already My Second Post!

My daily hair products and tools

I was gonna do a in and out post, but it slowly turned to what I do to my hair daily. I love buying hair products but hate having to actually use them. I would rather cut out all the time I spend on my hair and use more time on my makeup or fix my outfit for the day. Unlike most people I take a shower at night instead of the morning because it takes so long to dry my hair. I never use any product at night, only in the morning when I straighten it.


The first bottle in the picture is my biolage travel size hair spray that I keep in my pocketbook. Its great when I'm rushed before a basketball game to get ready. So as soon as I get to the gym I spray my hair before we practice our cheers for cheerleading. The next bottle is my Lanza Healing Moisture Color Care Shine Glistener, I use It when my hair looks dull. The blue bottle in the middle is my Lanza Healing Moisture Silk Serum, my hair gets so frizzy and curly with humidity. North Carolina is full of humidity, so I put a dime size in my hands and work it through my hair to stay straight. Next is Redken's Spray Starch which is a heat protecting, light hold spray. Last is my itty bitty CHI Silk Infusion. I use it occasionally before I dry my hair.

Last is my tools. First is my pink Zoe straightener, I would never leave the house if I didn't have a straightener because my hair is a giant frizz ball when I blow dry it. Speaking of blow drying the next tool is my pink travel size Berry Dryer. I love this little thing. It's not as loud as a usual blow dyer, and it blows a sweet smelling strawberry scent. I use the next tool to part my air and tease my curls when I actually curl my hair. The blue brush is my usual brush to use with my straightener. The grey brush is my roll brush that I use with my blow dryer.
