Being a mother to a 6 month old baby is amazing in so many ways, but with it, comes a few adjustments to life with a teeny weeny one. Case in point: no more earrings, necklaces, or hair being worn down. If you don't do this, you will be left with jewelry being ripped off by a mini thief, and chunks of hair along with it.
Hence my hair dilemma: I've already given up on ever wearing earrings again, but c'mon! my hair? There are only so many times that I can do the disheveled ponytail without looking like a quintessential mother-in-progress. So, I look for something more glamorous to keep my hair intact and out of baby's grasp. I had been searching for ways to do a "fishtail braid" as I saw it on a mama the other day and loved the way it looked. On Youtube I found that BeautyDept does all of these short video tutorials that teach you how to do various beauty tricks like the fishtail braid, the milkmaid braid (soooo tempted!) and even things like "cat" eyeliner. I am loving how easy they are to follow, and they are so short (most are under 3 minutes) so I can brush up on my beauty tips while I'm breastfeeding the baby! How's that for multitasking?!!
Thanks, I was in need for that link :-) Isis wants me to make all kinds of braids, but I don't know how. We're going to practice (au, mam!! ;-)) the heart braid! <3
