I rock the cheerleader pony! But it gets BORING after a while! This super easy french twisted pony is where it is at!

Elegant French Twist


The trick to this really is in the title. Twist. To get started, take your hair as if you were going to make a low side pony. Twist toward your face starting with the hair behind your ear (at the roots). Twist down the ponytail and secure. A picture is worth a thousand words! But for those of use who don’t learn visually, a written tutorial has also been provided! Thanks to the peeps over at Hairstyles Tutorial

Fall is officially here! I had my first pumpkin spice latte of the season and I have dug the festive candles out of storage. What else pumpkin should I try? Pumpkin pancakes! So easy!

We have pancakes on Saturdays and making them pumpkin will be just the thing to spice up breakfast! Make up your pancake batter as normal (Bisque or some other fave). Then add in the pumpkin goodness! 1 c pumpkin puree, 2 t cinnamon, 1/2 cloves, 1/2 t nutmeg, and 1 t vanilla. Bake yout pancakes as normal and enjoy!
