Freshen UP!
I love thowing my hair up during the summer. It's too hot to even think about using irons and blow-dryers. Here are some fresh up-do's to try this summer. They are simple enough to wear running errands, but chic enough to wear on a big night out!
Whitney Port's top knot is so simple to do! Pull hair up in a hit pony and hold with an elastic. Then braid the pony. Wrap the braid around the base of the ponytale and use pins to hold.
Anne Hathaway's hair is in a deep side part. French braid the thicker side down to the nape of your neck. Then twist into a bun.
Lauren Conrad's look can be easily attained with the help of a large barrel curling iron. Put waves in hair for added volume. Then pull pieces of hair back and pin into a bun. Add some tiny braids, too!
Taylor Swift's look is similar to LC's, except Taylor has a side part and made tighter curls. Do the same technique of pulling pieces and pinning into a bun. Curl any face framing pieces that fall loose around your face.
To get Amanda Seyfried's look, tease hair and twist into a high messy bun. Slip a headband in and tease hair even more behind it. Spray with hairspray to keep the volume.
Blake Lively's look is close to Whitney's, except you just leave the braid down. Slick hair back into a tight pony and secure. Braid hair and secure. Try a fishtale braid for a different look.
This is my go-to updo. I braid my hair in pigtale braids, cross them, and pin.
Sweet Sugar Scrub

| brown sugar scrub |
Mix together 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of honey.
And that's it!
It also makes an amazing body scrub!
If you put in into a nice container (Crate&Barrell has cheap, cute ones) it makes a great gift. Just add a pretty ribbon.
