Earbud Bracelet

Hey! July here. I found this on Pinterest as well (I'm so glad Seana finally convinced me to get one!) and I thought it was cool although I'm not sure why you would want to destroy two perfectly good pairs of earbuds....
Some things are a little unclear in this picture, but I would say that they used two pairs of earbuds and if you didn't know, they used a pencil to string it on :)
It's also unclear to me how they tied it, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Medieval Braid

I was browsing Pinterest..... again.... and I found this really cute braid! I don't think just anyone would like it, but I thought it was adorable anyway. If it was me though, I wouldn't've left any hair at the bottom, I would have braided it all, but that's just me :P Let me know how it works if you try it! My hair isn't long enough :/

Les Mis Braid: Seana Edition

Now, maybe you remember me posting a tutorial about how to do Cosette's braid from Les Miserables. Then again, some of you have no idea. (You can click here for the original post.)

I said that I might try it out on myself sometime, and guess what? Yesterday, I did. Here are the results of my experiment.

Attempt #1: In which I didn't braid the ribbon in very well



Attempt #2: In which The ribbon was braided in better, but my hair lost some of it's wavy poof.


If you have a chance, try out the Les Mis braid! Let me know how it goes for you, and if you'd like, go ahead and send me a picture of it to seana.j.vixen@gmail.com

Happy braiding!

Feathery Nails

Hola! This is July and since many of you don't like recipe posts, I thought I'd do some fashion posts from now on with the occasional recipe. I was browsing Pinterest and found this really cool nail design where you can put a feather on your finger nails and, well, I'll just let you look at the picture ;P

Les Mis Inspired Braided Hair

Hello, lovelies! Hope your day was awesome. This weekend I watched Les Miserables, and one of the characters, Cosette, had a really gorgeous hairstyle that I wondered if I could recreate. Thankfully, I found a tutorial online for it!

So there you have it! An awesome tutorial for Cosette's hair.

Let me know how it goes for you. I'll be trying it out myself sometime if I have time.

NUTELLA MILK SHAKE!

Hiya! So I'm so sorry I haven't been posting lately. I was wondering what you guys want to see more of on this blog! Please vote on the poll because I want people to enjoy reading our blog and that can only happen if we know what you want to hear!
Now on to the recipe! So I am pretty much obsessed with anything Nutella right now.... I just love Nutella! If you love it too, let's be friends! And if you don't then shame on you. ;P
I saw a picture on Pintrest of a Nutella milkshake and I really wanted to try it but I didn't have all the ingredients so I made up my own recipe sort of although it's not exact measurements

What you'll need

I can not take credit for the picture,
I found it on Google but mine
looked almost exactly like this!
  • Nutella
  • ice cream
  • milk
  • spoon
  • blender
What you need to do
  • First, put ice cream in the blender. I just put in how much I wanted, so you can do the same. I had approximately three/four or so small scoops
  • Then I put one spoonful of Nutella in, but everyone likes different amounts of that! I was happy with the amount I put in because it wasn't overpowering but I could taste it fine. You can put as much or as little as you want in according to how big you are making it, but remember that once you put it in, you can't take it out again!
  • Next add the milk. I personally don't like mine too runny, so I don't add too much milk. But if you want yours less thick, you can add as much milk as you want! Same as the Nutella though, once it's in there, you'll have a hard time taking it out! It's better to have to little and to add some than to have too much!
  • Finally blend it up (I actually used a Magic Bullet thing but a blender would work also) to a consistency that fits your approval, pour it into a glass, and enjoy!
I understand that those are very vague instructions, but it isn't hard to figure out how to do. I did and just ask Sea J, I'm horrible in the kitchen! Try it because it tastes like a really yummy chocolate milk shake with pieces of fudge in it!
