all about hair- INDIE FRINGE






There are several ways to wear your fringe and the Indie fringe is one of the big trends. Messy, scruffy even if you will, but in that devil-may-care way that looks like you’ve perpetually just rolled out of bed. It’s youthful, carefree with a grungy edge.

Here's how to wear and style the Indie Fringe...
* This style works best if your hair is straight, or a bit wavy.
* Slight waves can add to the tousle of the look, but anything more will require regular straightening, so only make the cut if you’re prepared to spend time styling it.
* The thicker the fringe the better. If your hair is thin consider that the fringe will have to be quite deep (start from far back on the crown) in order to achieve thickness.
* Don’t go for wispy layers – as with fringes generally in 2012, a blunt cut is best.
* Length-wise you want below the eyebrows or just sweeping the eyes. The rest of the hair can be bobbed or long – the key is just to keep it relatively straight but tousled.
* Use a texturizing product to get that messy effect even on cleanly washed hair.
* For a styling variation messily curtain the hair from the centre sweeping out.

a beauty-full day...

my sweet beauty-full friend & i doing the standing tree pose together.   one of those days i will remember forever...

a day filled with family + sunshine + friendship + strength + peace + harmony = a beauty-full day. 
after our yoga session, our instructor took a pic of my friend andrea {from life iluli fotography} and i doing the 'Standing Tree Pose'.  i later got a beautiful note from her with our photo attached saying "I woke up thinking about yoga and the sun and how blessed we were yesterday to have that connection with the earth... One of those moments you can't even plan for, yet shapes you in some way forever. I just love that she showed us the standing tree pose together-- I think it's very true of our friendship. Supportive, Grounded, Centered and Happy.  ;) what a blessing!!!"  

i couldn't have said it better myself, dear friend.  i am so grateful for my family + friendships, so grateful. xoxo 

Have you told your family & friends how much they mean to you lately?

"Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love."    -Mother Teresa



"A smile happens in a flash, but its memory can last a lifetime."





"If someone is too tired to give you a smile, leave one of your own, because no one needs a smile as much as those who have none to give."


I hope you find a reason to smile today!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this quote!
 
 "The wind blowing through your hair, the warm sun on your face, the cool ground beneath your bare feet, the heavenly rains against your skin, a sunrise, a sunset, a flower, a beautiful song. Simplicity at its best, beauty at its most. Take it in and realize just how wealthy we all are."
