Take 3: Hair and Beauty to Try

February 1, 2012

take 3

Posted 09/12

1. Braided Up-do via The Beauty Department
2. DIY Vanilla Sugar Scrub via Freutcake
3. Side pony via Late night Fashion (Originally pinned here.)
A little motivation for me to take care of my skin and do my hair more often than once a week;) I really love all the do it yourself scrubs I have been seeing around the web. They are a natural and healthy way to take care of yourself without spending to much money! Double score.
Also, my friends, I promised myself I wouldn’t enter any contests for a while but much to my own dismay I spasticly entered Refinery29’s “Next Style Blogger” contest! Biting my nails over this. So, again, I am asking for your vote. Luckily this is really easy to do so. Just click the heart next to my photo in the contestants section (its easier to find me under the “popular contestants” tab for now)! You can vote for more than one blogger if you have a few faves like me! Thank you ever so much!
P.S. I do have a few amazing giveaways coming up for you readers in on of the month of love! 😉

  1. That scrub sounds amazing!! A co-worker gave me homemade peppermint scrub at Christmas and I can’t get enough of it! Just voted for you, pretty lady. 🙂

  2. I’ve got to try to do that braided up-do. So fun and intricate looking. Also, that scrub looks great… marking that down on my growing to-do list too! Thanks for sharing, Anna!!!

    I wish I could rock the side pony! Looks so great when you can pull it off!

  4. Kassie says:

    Uh, do I have to have facebook to vote? =( I tried, but it said login with facebook, which I don’t have.

    I love the first hair do… but would need someone to do it for me because I’m awful at that sorta thing.

  5. Love this post! I’ve been obsessively pinning all of the DIY scrubs I see too!

    Off to vote for you!

  6. Amanda says:

    Way to go girl! Definitely have my vote.

  7. Alexa says:

    You totally have my vote! 🙂 Obviously.

  8. Natalie says:

    this is the perfect time of year to try out a scrub! must try that one.

  9. Gina says:

    That side pony is gorgeous! Love it.

  10. I love that braid – what a great DIY tutorial – need to try that. And I need a haircut, too. Those bangs look tempting.

  11. i love that side pony! it’s so perfect and it works so well with her outfit and style. sometimes, and i mean sometimes – my hair will do something good and i can kind of make that look happen.. but it’s more frequent than not!

    i hope you’re having a great week!!

    drop by allister bee soon!

  12. Love these beauty tips! Just in the last few weeks I started using a honey and olive oil mask and my skin has never felt so smooth! I’m a believer! 🙂

    So, this might just be because I’m hair-do challenged, but why do you need to curl the hair before you braid it? Either way, looks gorgeous!

    I made sugar scrubs for Christmas the year before last and they were a huuuge hit! Peppermint is also great in the mornings!

  16. I use a burt’s bees oil scrub that I love. i most certainly will vote for you! I never do my hair. It is always up in a pony tail.

  17. The side pony is one of my favourite hair styles! And I’m going to try that facial scrub recipe too! Thanks Anna!

  24. Shea says:

    Well if I had long hair, I would definitely want to try #1 and #3, but the body scrub is definitely doable, I love it! And I’m headed to go vote, good luck!

  25. That side-pony is SO gorgeous!! Way prettier than my 80’s side ponytails 🙂

  26. Renee says:
