creative designs

I think as long as I can remember I loved to make things for my girls. It started with my oldest Cassie.. She was very girly.. I have memories of her at the beach where the sand was just icky and she was trying to get it off her hands. She always has been that girly since she was small; had such grace and poise. She is very much a lady. Her mannerisms can be gentle and soft. Her reactions to experiences are calm and serene most of the time.
So Cassie as a little girl always looked right the way she should with frilly lacey socks and ruffled homemade dresses and sunsuits and between me and grandma.. She was always dressed very dainty and girly.
Cassie will tell you hair bows started very young on her. She now teases that I put the bows right on top of her head which might of been more appealing on the side of her hair or the back of her head.
She has always liked things dainty and petite. She would rather prefer a clip or a small bow on her hair.
Its something we poke at and laugh at still today.
Then there were the painted onsies with appliques and ruffled bottoms with lace or eyelet or cute fabric prints.
As my girls grew older they then like different styles. They were looking fun punk diva style clothing.. I then started painting , rhinestoning , appliqueing jeans and then sometimes that added trim on the sides or the pockets. They had there favorite singers and movies. I started making fan apparel. I made jeans that reminded others of the movies Cheetah Girls and Hannah Montana. Then it branched off into ebay. I thought why not try one.. It went crazy. I began have to so many people that wanted to wear these to there favorite concerts.. I then made others from special requests.
Life with its ups and downs and mom being my first priority .. I resigned from the concert wear business.

Healthy Hair Techniques Tips

My girls as well as myself all have long hair. In our house WE all desire to keep are hair healthy and strong. We want it too look nice! So this was a fun thing for me to explore the best ways to take care of our hair.

The way we eat has effect on our hair. Fruits and Vegetables are good for our body but also good for our hair as well. Working health through the inside to the outside.

Stress can play a major factor in our appearance which includes how are healthy our hair is. De-Stressing is important in our forms of whole body health. Physical Exercise, and Leisure Activities and hobbies can aid us in destressing our lives. Sleep is something that is very important to overall health.

Its important not to overly wash hair. Normally its best to wash hair every other day in cold water tempature and at times depending on how our hair looks whether it looks oily or not we will go three days. Its important to allow our hair to have time for the natural moisture in head to take care of our hair.

Before washing your hair you want to brush with a boar bristle brush to detangle your hair and getting all the knots out.

For as long as I can remember I remember always to use your fingers or comb when brushing through wet hair. Its important to comb, finger through from the bottom up to lesson breakage and split ends. If you want to brush your hair boar brushes are gentler on your hair.

So I speak of this boar brush constantly and maybe your wondering what type of brush this is maybe like me at one time didn't know it even know it existed actually didn't even know the name.

The type of brush you use on dry hair plays a factor in your hair health.

The boar bristle brush is a suggested brush for all hair types it aids in using natural moisturizers called sebum to flow through your hair causing to to become sleek and smooth. Sebum generally stays clumped at the roots of your hair and when brushed with a boar brush it loosens it it and draws it through your hair to naturally moisturing your hair. Ballerina's use this type of brush to put there in a sleek bun. I placed a picture of a boar brush in photos.

Its good to keep your hair in braids as it also protects and creates moisture to flow through the hair to creat a shiney and sleek look!

There are many more tips and ideas for healthy hair. Most of the information I learned new and already knew was from this web url link.
