Birthweek

As some of you may know, we just finished celebrating Elisha's "birthweek"!! What is that you may ask? Well, it's the week surrounding his birthday. We decided to collect a few videos of his special moments and compile them into a sweet video. It was filmed by me and edited by the incredibly talented Elisha Garcia! And now, for your viewing pleasure...

Summer Style // Fishtail Braid

I did a post on the fishtail braid a few months back, but I never did a how to, so I thought I would! It's way easy and one of my favorite ways to style my hair this Summer. It's a fun new twist to a regular braid^_^ 

Hope that was easy enough to follow! I know my hair is so dark so it may be hard to see what's going on, but like I said, it really is easy once you get the hang of it! Good Luck!

Summer Style // Summer Makeup

I don't know about you, but I love to change up my makeup every once in a while. SO I thought I'd let you in on how I do my Summer Makeup! I don't know that I have any life changing secrets, but hopefully you'll see something you like!

Here's What I Used:

Regional Dialect

So I thought it would be fun if we tried out this Regional Dialect thing that a lot of bloggers have been doing. It's something fun and different to see how we talk and say certain words. Fun!

{I fidget a lot; sorry. And I'm really bothered that the video doesn't have a proper name;sorry.}

Say these words:

Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught

Answer these questions:

* What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?

* What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?

* What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?

* What do you call gym shoes?

* What do you say to address a group of people?

* What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?

* What do you call your grandparents?

* What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?

* What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?

* What is the thing you change the TV channel with?

That was fun, yeah?? So what do you think, do I say anything funny? haha.
