Super Cute Hair Twist + Curls = Awesome

Mandy and I spend a lot of time perusing the net for entertaining things while at work. Maybe too much time actually, sort of. But because of all this time, we sometimes come across awesome things that we probably should be sharing with you all, instead of just laughing our asses off and then forgetting about it. Well, I mean, occasionally we remember to post a link on Facebook, I like to think we're (eh-hem...Mandy is) getting better at this.

I'm off track.

Last week we found this tutorial. It's old. Years old, doesn't make it any less awesome though.

Initially, we thought it was just a super adorable way, easy, to wear your hair, turns out it's more. It curls your hair like a hot damn. Sweet loose, slightly messy curls. Even mine and my daughters hair, which is virtually uncurl-able, submitted to rings from this technique, minus heat or product. Which, is crazy. My curl dream of the last 30 years has been fulfilled! I'm being dramatic. Weird.

Anyways, Kaid and I curled our hair this weekend, multiple times. It's addictive. And this morning, we discovered that Mandy is rocking the twist as a 'do. She's sorta really stinkin' cute.

Three things that are true:

1. This takes less than 10 min to do
2. If the band you use is too tight, you will deform your skull (my forehead is rather lumpy as we speak...)
3. My hair will look better than yours. Obviously.

(Kaid's sick, that's not her regular face. Well, it sorta is, actually.)

(This chick is adorable, with her awesome curls and accent. In fact, she may make you feel less cute, just sayin'.)  For more video tutorials visit: The Lipstick Diaries

Facebook Giveaway!

Um, you may not remember me, but I once wrote here... like, lots. Sort of. It's been awhile though. Months, actually, I counted.

I'm Lissy.

Hi.

While Mandy is Hooking, rug hooking that is, (she was supposed to be teaching me how, but I took once look at the millions of tiny pieces of yarn and balked) I'm going to blog. Cuz she told me I had to. And I'm an obedient sort of person, kind of.

 

So guess what. I'm doing a giveaway! All because I missed you! It's just from me!

...Don't tell Mandy I said that though.

The details are pretty simple actually, we're aiming at hitting 300 Facebook "fans". When we hit that number, we're going to do a draw to win this collection of sweet goods! 

1-Handmade Chicken Apron

1-Pair Luchador Socks

1-Tin Pocket Box "Mine"

1-"Spirit Abounds" blank card

1-Dirty Girl Handmade soap

2-Packs of gum, "Pocket Maraca" & Te Amo

So, share us with your friends. Convince them to like our Facebook page. When we hit that number we'll do a draw and let you know if you win! (don't worry about being local, we'll mail it to you if you're not)

We are lazy bloggers....

We might be lazy about blogging, but look at us learning new crochet techniques!

This is called the Tunisian Crochet, we learned about it here.  Obvs Lissy's is the better one, because while it's not like I totally suck at everything, she is just WAY better and faster than me :)  We also improvised on the afghan hook, by wrapping an elastic around the end of a regular crochet hook.  If I was gonna do a big project, I would probs try and find the fancy one.

So what we are gonna make is mason jar wraps.  Why, you ask, would we need wraps for mason jars?  Well, we have found, (thanks to Kim) a great little company from Massachusetts called Cuppow. They are a two person operation, that had a awesome idea that sprang into a business with unlimited potential!  Especially with us hippy kid generation.....

 

Look it how fast she is!!

So yeah, the Cuppow's are currently on route and we will update when they arrive!!

Ps. The the buttons are made by Scientific Culture which we sell in store for $2! 

Today is the day Lissy pushes the computer off the desk and spits on it

As per the title would imply, Lissy is currently in a hate/hate relationship with building our new webpage, www.pollutedpixie.com
Its taking up alot of her time and patience but in the long run it will be amazing for us! Me on the other hand, Ive been playing words with friends, and trolling the internet.  I figure that if I can't be helpful, I can at least sit quietly :)

Two of my favorite things, books and plants!

Buenos Noches!
