Feather Hair Extensions

I love the feather hair extensions! They are so easy to put in and they last. Don't waist your money going to an over priced salon. Either order online or go to a craft store and make your own. I recommend getting four or more so they will show up. Also, make sure to buy bright colors that will stand out from your natural hair color




Here's how to do it


1. Pull hair back into a clip leaving the area you'd like the feathers to be attached to completely free of stray hairs. 

2. Place your bead onto the bottom of the wire loop ( bobby pin is another option). Grab a small amount of hair to thread through the center of the wire loop. 

3. Pull the hair through the wire loop, holding the tip of the wire loop as close to the scalp as possible. 

4. Pull the micro ring up the wire loop and through the piece of hair. 

5. Once the hair is through the micro ring, place the feather in the micro ring with the hair and clamp it shut with a pair of pliers. Give the ring a strong clamp so the feathers stay in place. Make sure you clamp the ring flat onto the scalp so it doesn't irritate the head and the feathers lay flat. 



*To take the feather out, gently clamp the micro ring in the opposite direction to open it up. The feathers will come right out.

Favorite Summer Shades


 Everyone needs a perfect pair of sunglasses when summer rolls around. Whether you play it safe and stick with the classics or go out on a limb and try something new, there is something for everyone. When it comes to buying sunglasses for myself I usually stick to the classics. Here are some of my favorites for this summer.




I don't think the aviator will ever go out of style. Try a thin frame and lighter lense for a more feminine look.








I'm seeing this round retro look everywhere this season. I love these Ray Bans with a tortoise shell frame.












When looking for sunglasses always keep an eye out in places you least expect; antique stores, thrift stores and consignment shops, the possibilities are endless. I found a pair of vintage Ray Bans from an antique store back home. I paid about $20 for them and found them retailing online for about $300. My fiance also found some D frame Ray Bans at a consignment store back home for a great price. Always keep an open mind whenever you pass a store. You never know what treasures you could find : )
