Jones Soda

Today, I would like to tell you about Jones soda (a.k.a. the greatest soda ever).  It is a soda that is made from cane sugar, so it's healthy a healthier option than all of the other sodas out there that are full of corn syrup.  Jones soda also comes in many different yummy flavors and you can even get a version of your favorite Cocoa Cola or Root Beer.  Can it get any better?  I sound like a salesman, don't I?  I'm not trying to, I'm just trying to convince you that you need to try this soda!..  Anyway, my personal favorite flavor is green apple; it has a perfect sweet and sour apple flavor that I love.  Yum, yum! :)

Have you ever heard of or tried Jones soda?  If you haven't, I highly suggest you tracking it down the next time you go to the grocery store and trying it.

P.S.  Can you believe that it is already May?  I know for me it is hard to grasp!  4 days until my birthday though! :)

Hair Accesories

Hair accessories, perfect to dress up a messy bun, a boring pony tail, or just to bring something special and new to your outfit.  I'm especially a fan of the large burettes, I love how simple and classic they look.  Oh, and don't forget the amazing turbans out there!  I have personally never tried a turban, but I love the look that they give.  Hopefully someday soon I'll try this tutorial out for them.  I would love to build up a small collection of unique hair accessories, so I'm keeping my eyes open for any little treasures. *smile*

What are your thoughts on hair accessories?  Do you have any favorites?  

P.S.  I convinced my sister-in-law to make a blog *fulfillment*.  Check it out, Home on Spring Street.

Just some photos from lately.

These calves love me, but probably just because I give them food... anyway, I still love them.

Oh, and of course I had to share this picture of my little nephew... and that blanket, I made. ;)

Silk Scarves

I recently came across this Etsy shop that sold these beautiful handmade silk scarves.  I'm a big scarf person so when I saw these, I fell in love.  I love all of the color combinations and how intricate they all look. Scarves are not all that the shop sells though, there are tons more little treasures that you'll have to check out for yourself. Enjoy!

It's beginning to look a lot like spring!

It finally looks like spring, and I'm so excited!  Spring may just be my favorite season, even though fall is a close second.  A couple nights ago, after supper,  I went outside and snapped a couple pictures to share with you.  I am also really excited because I planted a few raspberry plants last weekend.  I'm a big raspberry fan and it has always been a goal/dream of mine to have a successful little raspberry patch, so I was over the moon when a friend of mine asked if I would like some plants!  Thanks Jess!

Oh, and I'm starting the countdown until I'm done with school for the year!  Just a couple more weeks... *squeal*, *smile*, *sigh of relief*

Do you want to see how animals eat their food?

Here is a little something to brighten your Saturday.   This video, How Animals Eat Their Food, is beyond ridiculous and beyond hilarious.  I heard about it through a girl that I work with, then kept seeing it pop up everywhere online, so then I knew that I just had to watch it.  Enjoy!

Happy Saturday!  Hope it is warm and spring-like where you are!  It looks like spring here in Ohio, but it feels like winter just can't say "goodbye".

Twisted Up-Do Hair Tutorial

Hey everyone!  I know, I know, it has been a really long time since I last posted, but I have some more posts in the works so bare with me. :)

This hairstyle is one of my new favorites.  I'm that kind of girl who loves a complicated looking hairstyle that only take minutes to do, and this is defiantly one of those kind of hairstyles.  After a few practice runs, I could do it in just a few minutes.  Yes, thats what I like!  Another thing that I love about this hairstyle, is how it is so versatile.  It can be made to look a bit messier and laid back or it can be made to look polished and very dressy.  To sum it all up, this is the perfect hair style for anyone who wants a quick up-do, but is tired of the standard ponytail. 

What you will need:  Hands and a few bobby pins.

1. Separate your hair into two pieces where you want your bun to be.  

2. Take one section of your hair and starting at the top, take a smaller piece of hair and twist, then gather some more hair, and twist and gather, ect.  While you do this, try to twist your hair as tight as possible, and depending on how short your layers are, you might have to bobby pin some loose hair back as you work your way down.

3. Continue to twist you hair until you reach the end.

4. Twist the other piece of hair just as I described to you in step 2.  

5. Begin twisting the two pieces of twisted hair together and around each other (there is a lot of twisting going on, if you haven't already noticed...) to form a bun.

6. Secure with bobby pins.  I only need 3 or 4 for my bun.

Voila! There is your twisted up-do!  If you have any questions, please ask!
