Tattoo Blanket Tattoo Covers!

8/31/2015

Attention all my tattooed peeps! Today I have a fun new product for you to check out!

Do you ever wish you could erase your tattoos just for a couple hours, so you don't have to resort to wearing a hoody or other long sleeved (and toasty warm) shirt to cover them up?
Whether it's from your boss, customers, or anyone else, it can be a big pain to have to cover them up!

Never again will you have to suffer through the heat to cover your tats!
Introducing, Tattoo Cover Arm Sleeve Tattoo Blanket!

My husband has this to say about the tattoo blanket (he's the model in all of these pictures); "These Tattoo Blankets are a snug fit, but not too tight, They stay where they need to, and keep my tattoos covered when I need them to be! The material seems durable too. I will definitely recommend these sleeves to anyone who is in need to cover their tattoos for any purpose."

These sleeves come in two colors; black, and white.
They are a cool breathable fabric blend that you will find much cooler in the sun than a long sleeved tee.
Speaking of the sun! You can also use these to protect your tattoos from the sun! Whether you just got a new one and want it shielded while it's healing (the sleeves are non-sterile, so should not come in direct contact with a healing tattoo or open wound. If used to protect a healing tattoo it should be placed over a sterile covering), or just want to protect your ink from the fading effects of the sun, these sleeves are perfect!
And the best part? They are only $7.99 each!!!

So what do you think? Pretty sweet eh? You can purchase yours (for yourself or a great gift for someone else), on their Amazon Page here!

Peace Love and Tattoo Sleeves

I am so absolutely, completely in love with this set of wedding pictures that we did!

Even though I was the one who came up with the idea for us to do this shoot, I was still absolutely astounded at how wonderfully nostalgic and whimsical they turned out!

After our wedding, me and my brand new husband made our way over to Kremeland, in Navarre, where our photographer from Graham River Productions was waiting with a milkshake and a booth! I just want to give a quick shout-out to Kremeland. They were very accommodating, and they have a magnificent establishment! If you are ever in Navarre Ohio, make sure to visit them!
Here are the indoor shots we did!

*Sigh*
See what did I tell you? Magical!
After our indoor session was complete, we headed outside to complete our photos before scurrying off to the reception.

Yay!
I hope you love them as much as we do, they turned out exactly as I imagined in my head!

So we are now halfway through all our wedding pictures!
Still coming up; Our wedding reception part 1, Our wedding reception part 2, and Posed portraits!
Stay tuned!

Peace Love and 50's Diners

How to Get Super Mega Long Hair!

8/23/2015

1 Comment

I am constantly, and I actually mean constantly, getting asked the same three questions;
#1. Is your hair real? When I answer and say that indeed it is, the second question, is more of a disbelieving, "No it's not?!" When I've convinced them that it is (unbelievably, more than not, this involves them raking their fingers through my hair looking for extensions!), the third question that I inevitably get, is, "How did you get it so long?!"

So for those of you who've asked, and all of those of you who wonder, here is how I got super mega long hair- and how you can too!

#1. Hydrate your hair monthly.
Doing a monthly mask works wonders for your hair! It makes your hair shiny, beautiful, and healthy. I invented my own hair mask, and the recipe is here. Do this once a month, and you will notice a complete difference in your hair!

#2. Eat healthy.
The two years I lived in China, was when I noticed my hair growing at an incredible rate! Not only was my hair growing faster than I could keep up with, but my fingernails were too! I can't be exactly sure why this happened, but I attribute it mostly to how healthy I ate when I was there. When you eat healthy, it affects your whole body!

So make so your diet consists of;
-Plenty of water
-Lots of tea (not the kind that comes in a can, the kind that you make out of tea leaves!)
-Tofu
-Seafood
-Rice
-Vegetables; asparagus, celery, green beans, eggplant, sweet potatoes, lettuce, spinach, broccoli, and mushrooms
-Fruits
and
-Whole wheat breads and pastas

And stay away from;
-Deep fried foods
-An abundance of meat
-White breads and pastas
-Dairy products
-Sugary foods
-Pop and any sugary drink
and
-Anything with the ingredient high fructose corn syrup!

#3. Use Millcreek Botanicals Biotin Shampoo
Washing with this shampoo, you will notice longer hair almost instantly! Not only is it very healthy, but it also contains biotin, which is wonderful for hair growth! I don't use this because my hair is already long, but I bought it for my friend and it started working immediately! You can purchase it here.

#4. Massage.
Every time I shampoo my hair, I give myself a little scalp massage. Massaging your scalp is wonderful to stimulate hair growth and health! So when you're lathering your shampoo on your head, just give it a gentle massage in a circular direction with your fingertips.

#5. Only wash your hair once or twice a week.
Yes, I only wash my hair once a week! And! Before you get all judgmental and grossed out, just let me tell you, that it is actually much healthier to wash your hair once or twice a week, than to wash it every day. When you wash your hair more than once or twice a week, it will strip your scalp of all its natural oils, and it makes it produce more oils, at a faster rate, which is why your hair gets greasy when you don't wash it for a day! Which is not how it should be! So because my hair isn't use to being washed every day, I can literally go seven days before my hair starts to show any grease! I actually attribute a big part of my long hair to this tip!
To wean yourself off of washing your hair every single day, read my posthere where I give you great hairstyles for every day of the week that will help conceal a little greasy-ness until your hair starts to get healthy again (and remember, most likely you think your hair looks a lot greasier than other people do!).

#6. Limit use of hair dryers and flat irons.
Using all that heat styling on your hair is very damaging! If you start cutting out, or at least limiting your usage of these, your hair will be so much healthier!
After I wash my hair, I never use a hair dryer. And I only use a flat iron if I slept on my hair wrong and it has a crease in it, or if I want to curl my bangs. People always tell me that my hair looks and feels sooo healthy. Well I used to bleach the crap out of it, so it definitely should not be! But I believe the fact that I don't use these devices helps a lot!

#7. Live a happy, healthy, and fulfilling lifestyle!
I believe that my hair is as long and healthy as it is, because of the healthy lifestyle I live! And I know I already talked about eating healthy, but living a healthy lifestyle involves more than just eating healthy!
I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, my alcohol consumption is very limited, I eat healthy, I drink lots of water and tea, I take my vitamins, and I always make time for myself to relax and de-stress! These are definitely keys to having beautiful skin, hair, and a happy life!
