Braids

Braids are seemingly very popular lately - and I have been loving this trend for summer! I have adopted this hair style in the nick of time for the hot and humid weather.  Not to mention, braids are fairly quick and easy and they're especially useful when you're on day two or three hair (thank you, dry shampoo).

Some of my favorites are the double braids, loose messy braids, and half up half down braids:

I've always been able to braid other people's hair, and I've been trying to get better at doing my own.  Summer is definitely a great time to learn some new hairstyle skills!

Hope you guys have a wonderful & sunny week! Xo,

Summer!

Happy Sunday y'all!  Summer vacation is here, hallelujah, and finally the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it's warm enough to bask in the SUNSHINE!  Since I've been home, it's been pretty rainy and dreary - I hope that's not an indicator of the weather for the whole summer!

I'm very excited to be spending this summer at home.  I will be helping with summer school, junior high cheerleading, volunteering at the library's summer reading program, and tutoring too!  I am so glad to have so many opportunities to work with children and get more experience while having so much fun!  

One thing that I'm exceptionally looking forward to is spending Sundays with my family.  There's something about getting up on a Sunday morning and going to church together that I love.  Our message at church this morning was something that I won't get tired of hearing - we are so broken and have such a need of our sweet Savior, Jesus.  Though we fail, God's grace, mercy, and forgiveness is never ending.  He is our redeemer & he is so worthy of all our praise.

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday and amazing week!

Xo,
