Facials


I've been tossing around the idea of doing facials in my salon, i love getting them, they are such a pick me up! In hair school you learn all about esthetics's and have to complete a certain number of facials in order to graduate, I've since done facials on family members but have had most of my focus on the hair part of being a beautician. With our awesome tax return I decided that it would be the perfect time to buy a high quality facial line, and that is what i did. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of enjoying your own facial this is generally what it entails: a facial cleanse followed by a facial massage, an exfoliant that removes dead skin cells- while helping tighten your skin, a toner which reduces the appearance of pores and collagen spray that helps reduce redness and improves the skins natural moisture and softness, finally a recovery cream that helps with fine lines, wrinkles, dryness or sores. Your face feels so clean and soft afterwards its just a great way to get it ready for the coming spring and summer months. I've been trying to come up with a decent price; its not always an easy task because I want it to be affordable but also worth my time so what I've come up with is $15 . Tell me what you think

Happy Easter To Me

see this little beauty... she is my ticket to freedom! I just bought her with our awesome tax return. If any of you are in the market for a double jogging stroller this one was $125 with free shipping at amazon.com, this is by far the cheapest jogger i could find but its made by Columbia and it looks nice so i think it will hold up :) it is originally $316 so I'm kinda stoked. I'm gonna get some big muscles pushing this baby whale around, i think i will have to name her Shamoo. I'm so elated to finally be able to run whenever i please, there wont be another good day that will pass me by without a run!

the flower box

I've been wanting to make a window box from some of the wood pieces we have in our basement. And since Jared got sent home from work because he wasn't feeling well and everyone is afraid of the swine flu still, I had someone to watch the children while I crafted my own window box.

this is the beauty I started out with it once made a frame to a cabinet that was too big for our home, so i ripped it apart and kept the pieces.

my chalk line... very boring, they are 6 inches apart



the basic box




i hot glued some old wood trim to the top of the box


spray painted it cream

as you can clearly see i'm not the best architect but i get the job done
and some pics of my boy and girl


this was just too funny to not take a picture of, he is so chubby



he's almost as big as her!

Easter Dresses

I would like to sew an Easter dress for makayla so I've been online looking at patterns and all of these are my favorites, I just need to choose one to start with... these came from butterick, McCalls, and Vogue
Makayla said this dress is the princess and the frog dress

the top three are from Vogue (obviously)






so i love the vintage looking dresses and i want to make one for me




so that one turned out way smaller than i thought it would

the patterns range from $5 to about $10 so their really not too expensive and i could always use them again for other dresses, let me know what one you like!
