Beans is...

SO NOT DONE!!! Please understand that I am not going to be a regular blogger. I have way to much going on right now with school and kids. So this post looks like I am back, but I am so not back. Beans plead with me the other day to keep doing Girly Do's. "MOM... I AM GIRLY DO'S," she tells me. So I think in a way she feels like a part of her is dying with the blog going away. So I said we'd go ahead and do one more.

So I did a hair do with a fun (FABULOUS) bow sent over from my friend Misty. I can't say this will be my last hair do--- but I can promise that if I do more it will be few and far between. But today I have a very HIGH FLASHY BOOFY PONY TAIL!!! Its super cute. The bow was from my friend Misty and she loves me. Because she makes sports bows and she hooked me up with my numero uno favorite bow--- A RED SOX BOW!!! April is right around the corner so get your favorite sport team bows now and be ready to cheer on your favorite teams. (click the picture to see more sports bows)

You are going to part out all that top hair and clip it out of the way. We will start with a climbing pony in the back.

I really (REALLY) want to show this bow off. Nothing subtle about it. One of the teachers at the school is a huge Yankee fan and we have a good friendship. He is my favorite rival to antagonize. So I didn't want him to miss this bow. It needed to be seen. So climb that pony up nice and high.

Now with the front part we are going to take chunks and secure it back strategically to make that pony tail BIG and FULL.

Start with a chunk on both sides and secure with bobby pins anchor using an "X" over the hair needing to be secured.

Now you will take another chunk from the front and take it to the opposite side of your pony tail and you are going to anchor it again.

You will continue until all the hair that was in front is nice, tight and pulled back.

Look how high that sits. LOVE IT!!! Her thin hair actually looks full. And yes I know there were some bobby pins on top that were not hidden. I may have hid them if I didn't shoot this for a tutorial. I would have pushed them more into the pony tail to hide them. I am not too worried about it though because I am using a big bow to hide those bobby pins.

Doesn't that just put a smile on your face. It does mine. Thank you for the bow Misty.
Don't forget to thank Beans for wanting to do another hair do too-- that is the ONLY reason we did this tutorial. All gratitude should be aimed squarely in her corner.

Thats it

That catches me up with all that I had. A new semester starts in a few days. This has been posted for a few weeks and I have been taking care of the family. Thank you guys for all the memories and all the kind things you had to say. Please stop by anytime and leave me some comment love. I look forward to still hearing from you.

Thank you for the memories!

Love Knot--- ♥

Start with your braids or twists that meet up in the back. You know the problem with this... by mid day you have a mess of that hair that is not secured anywhere on top. Well--- scroll down to see our solution.

Flip that braid part out of the way.

Divide that in half.

Tie your first knot.

Flip the hair back over and tuck it between your two ends of your knot.

Tie it above the braid. So that is once below and once above.

Combine it with the braid that is now below that second knot because you dropped it between the knots. And secure a CLEAR rubber band to all of the hair. The knots and the braids. And pull it tight so it hides itself underneath the pony tail.

See----> You can't see my rubber band.

All you see is a neat love knot. And guess what--- you secured that hair that usually gets away with a do like this.
