Back-to-School Hair Solutions

 
Looking for cute new ways to style your hair for the school year?
Well I've got some unique and pretty looks for you!
 
Partial Dutch Braid
 
This braid is super cute,
and is a great alternative for a hairclip pinning your bangs back.
Start with a regular braid, and as you go along, add in strands from the top of your doll's head.
It's just like a french braid, only adding hair from one side to your braid.
It may take a few tries to get the hang of, but it's super cute!
 

Helpful Headband
 
A super fast and simple way to style your hair for school is
to slip in a headband to match your outfit.
You might even try being even more creative and tie some cute ribbons or
pin a cloth flower to your headband!
This is perfect for keeping your hair out of your face when you're
hunched over your desk doing schoolwork. 


Fancy Fishtail
 
Fishtail braids are super cute and "in" right now, so try one for yourself!
It looks complicated, but it's actually super simple!
Divide your hair into two even sections and pull in strands from each side,
alternating left and right. Pull them tightly!
Try it a few times until you get the knack.

 
Check back soon for more creative hairstyles!
 


Brooke's Big Brunch

 
This is a story shared and told by my friend Brooke...she shared with me these photos too.
Enjoy!
 
Just before school started, my friend Adele turned 11!
So to celebrate, well...you'll see!
I made Adele and her sister Anna wait in their room while I prepared a surprise.
 

Surprise! I made a delicous brunch for them with my cooking expertise.

 
I even baked fresh,  sticky cinnamon rolls!
(They smelled AMAZING, if I do say so myself!)


I served orange juice, pancakes with fresh strawberries and a fruit cup...


Along with crispy toast, eggs, and juicy bacon.


"Oh, wow, Brooke! This all looks and smells incredible!" Adele exclaimed, licking her lips.


"Oh, thank you." I blushed.


"Mm-hmm! You really outdid yourself!" Anna laughed. 


After the girls finished their brunch,
Anna and I surprised Adele with birthday presents.


Adele seemed very eager to open them, all wrapped up in glossy paper
and tied with fluffy bows.


The first gift contained a bright blue Hope stone for Adele's garden.


The second, from me, was a pretty pink necklace and turqouise stone ring.


And the third was a new box of cards. 


We all had such a great time!

 
Thanks for sharing this story, Brooke!
Happy birthday, Adele!
 

SORRY!!!

 
 
Hi everyone!! I am SO SORRY that I haven't posted anything since July 27th!
