Happy Halloween Y'all

Tonight the Hubs and I are going to BFBC to help with Trunk or Treat!
I just love Halloween it is for sure the best holiday, well not the best...I think it just jump starts my love for all things holiday (especially Thanksgiving and Christmas) 

Another check off the fall bucket list! Decorate Pumpkins!!! I think another thing on the list should be dress up and go out with friends!

What are your big Halloween Plans???

Pumpkin Patch

So I have been working my way down Pinterest's ever popular Fall Bucket List! ENJOY!!!
For this first post we killed two birds with one stone...went to a pumpkin patch and went on a hay-ride!!! For this fun filled day we went to the minimiracles farm!

I just love pumpkins especially funny looking ones, like this green pinched one!

So I settled on this one. All silly pumpkins need a home!


Jeremy is a big fan of the round ones...so we got two of those!!


It's like a pumpkin family portrait! Then it was time for the hay-ride where we got to see all the mini miracles (the farms way of saying small animals haha)



I personally love how that llama thinks he is all that! haha 
What are your favorite fall things to do?

bathroom redo for under $45

Hello Loves! 
I am so proud of myself, I redid my bathroom for under $45!!! Just a couple of simple tricks and vuala, classy french inspired bathroom!

I couldn't have done it without the help of TJMaxx! That store is a life saver for me and my husbands hard earned money haha. I absolutely love the praise I get from him when I come home with savings like that...you should have seen him when I started couponing (we have Publix receipts hanging up on the fridge)

okay okay enough of my taking let me show you what I did:

 I have had the shower hooks forever, they just didn't go with my zebra print dorm curtain but here they match perfectly. Also we wanted to do something that would tie into our bedroom without being to matchymatchy. We already had turquoise bath mats, so I wanted to find something that would tie that together, that is when I found that towel (it has the blue in the curtain and the same color in the rugs) [curtain $6] [towel $12]
For the longest time I could not figure out what to do with that wall, but these little mirrors were perfect! Just had to make sure they were in high enough spots (seeing as our toilette is across from them). [$11]
I found similar baskets for all my hair products. Mine are just black and white but these can be found here or really anywhere! [$7 each]

I will try to get a picture of it all together for y'all to see. 

enjoy and tell me what you think!

xoxo

p.s. please send this blog to your friends and followers, I would really love to get a few more readers or a lot more readers :)

NO HASSLE HAIR

Don't worry you read that correctly! I absolutely love doing my hair but sometimes (like every other girl) I have a bad hair day. Seeing that I have unreasonable curly frizzy hair most days I can tame it down with lots and lots of heat but the other day I looked like a 4 year old that had just come in from the playground! Not the best look for work :/ BUT!!! Then I saw this video that saved my life and my hair! (I can only wash my hair every few days because it dries out to quickly so I have to try to make it work) 
MAGIC HAIR!!! <--- click that link to see how I did it!

I did not take a before picture (it was way to scary and Halloween isn't close enough)

but here are some pictures during and after 

 I used a soft hair band so that it was more comfy
 this is what it looked like when I woke up the next morning

But then I took the band out and TADA! Beautiful vintage curls, and it was sooo easy! I couldn't believe how good it looked! Also the video says to brush out your curls but I didn't do that, I finger combed them and then later that night before pumpkin picking (that blog will come tomorrow) I brushed them and they still looked beautiful!


forgive me this picture was taken pretty early in the morning on my way to church, but with a touch of vintage make up I felt like a movie star!

What are your favorite hair tricks and tips? Leave a comment and let me know :)

Southern Proper

So I knew SoPro had headbands Belle Bands...what I didn't know is they had one named "Sweet Magnolia" How exciting?! I just might have to purchase this...unless it shows up at my house by surprise ;) 

What are your favorite hair accessories? While I love head bands I also love flowers and bows and hats...the list goes on. 

Share your favs with me!
