5 Minute Braids

"Sorry I was late - I didn't want to come." 
But actually...how often do we make plans and end up feeling like this? Let's be honest, this is what goes through our minds every Monday morning...you can do all the Sunday meal prep you want and even get an actual 8 hours of sleep but sometimes, that snooze button will still win. Luckily, current hair trends allow us to actually roll out of bed and put something cute together in less than 5 minutes. If you like braids (uhh, who doesn't?), you're even more in luck because they are the perfect "I spent a lot of time on this (but actually I'm lying)," look.

Design a Life You Love

"She designed a life she loved"...
As bloggers, we find so much truth in this statement. We are so lucky to have a creative space that we can call our own and mold to fit our own passions. A few years ago, neither of us could have imagined that we would be writing extensively about our lives but this very thing has transformed the way we think about everything. There’s no longer any reason to think “I can’t” or “I don’t know how” when it comes to your goals because knowledge is everywhere. Whether you’re a blogger or not, the digital world has given women exclusive access to endless inspiration on almost every topic you could think of. You want to refurbish a dresser? There’s a blog post about that. You want to learn how to make a perfect floral arrangement? There’s hundreds of step by step tutorials available. And all we can think is, how fortunate are we to be a part of it all? To share something that motivates us and possibly influence others around us too…this is pretty cool. We're truly designing a life we love.
Most recently, we were so pleased to be featured on Brit+Co, one of our favorite resources for...well, everything. It's a DIY one stop shop for everything you might want to make, explore, eat, learn, shop and so on. With all the bright colors, quirky images and wonderful ideas, you could browse the site for hours...seriously, it's like Pinterest on crack! Our braiding obsession continues and luckily, festival season is around the corner so we're right on time with this 1 minute braid style. Here a few behind the scenes shots from the feature:
