How To: French Braid

Hey guys!

I thought I'd share with you all how to french braid! I used to french braid my hair everyday of sixth grade, and it wasn't like a trend or anything. I was just so lazy that I kept the same hairstyle for a whole school year. Is there a record for that?

Anyway, my friends always ask if I can french braid their hair, and I noticed not many people know how. But if you already know, my hat goes off to you! And if you don't, here's my step-by-step french braid hairstyle!

Hope you find it useful!

Tumblr Wall

Hey hey hey!

I have this little corner in my room that is hidden by my door, and I've never really known what to do with it. Sometimes I'd put my calender on it. Sometimes I'd hang a picture.

Eh.

It always looked empty, no matter what I put up there. And so, I decided to make a full wall-length collage! There are thousands of pictures that inspire me, make me happy, or are little sayings/poems to keep in mind.

Of course, the perfect place to get thousands of pictures is none other than Tumblr. To see the pictures I used for my wall or to see any new ones, my blog is Flower Children Forever . And if you have your own Tumblr (or any collection of photos) then even better! 

To add colour I used washi tape, otherwise known as Japanese masking tape, to put up my photos. I got mine from Target in a set of four, but you can get some from Etsy that is far more detailed and personal.

Here's how it turned out!

 They look really great with my faerie lights on!

For the quotes and poems, I used my trusty typewriter, Francesca.

There it is, my very own Tumblr Wall.

Hope you liked it!

70 Year-old Tony Stark

Hi you!

I have been looking forward to this day all week, the first day of my weekend. I've had summer school for the last four weeks, six hours a day of PE!! It is so tiring and I find myself being hungry all the time! But the up side is that I won't have to PE during my school year! Since this was my day off, I went out to get my uniform for Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. We ended up getting a bit more.

For breakfast we had watermelon and cinnamon rolls, which for me is like winning the lottery.

My mom found some notebooks and lotions with super cute designs on them. We bought two notebooks (because I burn through these things like crazy) and lotions in Vanilla Amber, White Orchid, and Shea Butter.

Then we went to the uniform store to get two oxford collared shirts for my Sea Scout uniform.

My hair lately has been dull and rough, so I tried putting leave-in conditioner in it. I ended up with sticky, waxy hair. So, we got a new leave-in conditioner to try! Hopefully I get new results than last time :)

Jeans were on sale and guess what I found? Boyfriend jeans! I have been looking for boyfriend jeans for months now, and I finally found some! I think I'm going to wear them for my first day of high school.

I also found Oxford shoes, which I have loved for years. They're the only every-day kind of heels I own, and rightly so because I am super clumsy. 

My brother accidentally sold my video game (long story) and as an apology he drew me pictures of my favourite super hero and his side-kick.

Which got us to talking about Howard Stark. Captain America was probably in 1939/1940 (before or at the time that Germany took over Poland) and in the scene where Howard was showing off his new Car of the Future, he looked pretty young. People back then used to marry and have children around their twenties, so Howard probably had Tony a few years after Captain America took place. That said, Tony Stark is, like, 70 years old! Get your stuff together Marvel.

Now I'm getting ready to go to a Girl Scout meeting where I will learn how to remove my clothes in the water and inflate them to stay alive. The usual. :)

A sneak peak at the next DIY to come soon!

Things I Love About Fall

Hey!

What with it being the summer, I've fallen into a little bit of an old habit I have. You know when it's October or November and the weather is changing and you can almost feel the autumn all around you? I love this feeling, but unfortunately I get this feeling in the dead of summer. Yeah. I get all these great ideas for Halloween decorations and I get the craving for long pants and sweaters. And this happens every single summer! And it's nobody else but me, obsessing over pumpkin flavourings and warm blankets. So just to put a use to all this 'fall energy' I made a list of all the things i love about autumn. I even put pictures with them! But this is the first time I've used the computer to draw, and it came out looking like crap. But I need to start somewhere, right? Anyways, here the first six things I love about fall!
