Hi everyone

Haven't posted in a little while due to work and just general home life.

Anyway:) I had saw this hairstyle going around for the last week or so and I thought I would try it out. 

I actually really like how it looked and Darcie loved it! I thought maybe it wouldn't work with her hair being short than the pictures I've saw, but it just about worked:)

What you need.

14 small elastics

Sectioning comb

Water spray

2 hair bows

Hair clips

1. Start by parting the hair down the middle as if you are doing normal pig tails.

2. Tie one section up and then wet the other side, this style works so much better when the hair is wet.

3. This is the hardest part! Part the one section into 4 sections and tie each with an elastic.

4. Let loose the other side and do the same. You should end up with the hair looking like the picture on the bottom right.

Now I know you're all thinking that doesn't seem hard, I know, I thought the same, but trying to section the hair so it looks even is quite difficult when you have a moving toddler! Haha.

5. Start with the two bottom strands. Add the hair to opposite elastic diagonally up the head. When you add the hair just tie together with another elastic.

6. When you reach the last elastic on either side, but the hair into a little bun, however you like, you could also leave the hair loose.

7. Add two bows either side at the front, try to hide the elastics on the top:)

And there you have it! 

 

I absolutely loved the way this style looked, a little heads up though, I did loosen some of the elastics afterwards as too me they looked to tight for her, darcie never moaned they were tight nor while I was doing the style!

Hope you liked this style:) let me know if there's any other styles going round and I can try to recreate them.

Top 4 Hair Styles That Stay In All Day!

As I've said in a previous post, my little girl will be starting nursery soon! So I've been testing out hair styles which stay in all day, well let's just say most the day:)

1. 2 French plaits

2. Upside down French plait with bun

3. French braided head band

4. French plait and bun

These are the styles which generally stay in all day, unless your toddler decides to pull it all out, yes my daughters done that many times haha!

I haven't actually wrote instructions up for any of these styles yet but I will, just want to write a blog post about how to do the plaits first:)

Which ones is you favourite style out of the 4?

Darcie Says...

Saw this idea on 'lived with love' blog and thought it was such a good idea, so in years to come I can remember some of the sayings darcie used to come out with! Toddlers are so funny, and Darcie makes me laugh everyday with the things she comes out with, so I thought why not share with everyone!

I am a big cousin because I have a big tummy.

Mommy, jack frosts outside. (because it's cold)

We are having a pretend party for my birthday, but it's my real birthday soon, isn't it mom?

Me: What time is it Darcie?

Darcie: 6 o'clock, time to wake up

Darcie: Sing a song

(I sing a song)

Darcie: Bravo Bravo

When I'm bigger I want an orange car so I can drive to school.

She really does make us laugh bless her, such a character.

What's your favourite saying your child's said? I'd love to know:)

 

Fisher Price Little People Disney Princess Klip Klop Stable Review

Hi everyone,

I'm going to do a review on this toy I recently brought for Darcie.

It's called Little People Disney Princess Klip Klop Stable by fisher price.

It's actually on offer in most toy shops now for around £25, normally £50!!

So first setting the toy up...

I found it really easy to set up and it only took me around 10-15 mins max. The instructions they gave was all pictured so it was so easy to follow.

The most fiddly part was putting all the stickers on, but again there was pictures to show where each sticker went.

Impressions once set up...

Once it was all set up, I thought it was a lot bigger than I expected which was good. I really liked how the it lit up and made sounds on a certain part, which again I wasn't expecting!

Darcie's first impressions...

Darcie absolutely loved it as soon as it was set up, well she loved it before I even got it out the box haha. She immediately started playing with it and played with it for ages, normally she only plays with toys for a little while and then gets bored.

She loved how the horses galloped down the slides on there own and how she could but them in their stables to sleep.

Overall opinion...

Overall, I think this product is well worth the money, I wouldn't of paid the original price of £50, I think that's too much for what it is, but I feel £25 is very reasonable for it. With most toys like I said darcie gets bored, but she plays with this on most days, so Darcie definitely enjoys playing with it:)

Let me know what you think of this review and whether you would like any more:) 

Messy styled hair

You know when your child's got freshly washed hair and you can't do anything with it?!

Well that's what happened today, Darcie's hair was so soft I couldn't do anything with it! 

So I came up with this messy but styled hair.

For this you will need

3 small elastics

Small hair clip

Hair bow 

Hair spray

And that's all!!

1. First simply take a section of hair, wherever your child's parting is and begin a lose Dutch braid, plait it until your happy and then finish with a normal plait, and secure with a small elastic.

2. Grab all the hair towards the ear on the same side as the plait, and tie with a small elastic. 

3. Carefully tease the hair with your fingers to gain some volume and texture.

4. Position the hair into a bun shape, by gathering all the hair and once your happy, secure in place with another small elastic.

5. On the opposite side of the bun, there will more than likely be hair which didn't reach the bun, so just gather the hair together and pin to the side of the head with a hair bow.

6. Add a small clip where you can see the elastic from from the plait.

7. Add a small about of hair spray to  keep everything in place!

And there you have it!

Perfect style for freshly washed hair, also through the day hair may fall out but this just adds to the messy style:)

Hope you like it, let me know what you think.

Half up French plait

Today's hair instructions are going to be for this very simple hair style!

Would work well with both straight or curly hair.

Things you need

Brush

Water spray bottle

Sectioning comb 

Hair bobble 

Small elastic

And hair clip 

Hair spray

1. Wet the hair slightly and brush through

2. Section off the hair from ear to ear as much or as less as you like. I like to do it so there's a decent amount of hair left down.

3. Clip the hair that you have just sectioned off out of the way and use a hair bobble to tie the remaining hair.

4. Unclip the hair at the top of the head and begin a French plait, until you get level to the top of the ear. Once there, carry on doing a normal plait and then tie with the small elastic.

5. Spray a small amount of hair spray all over the hair, to keep it in place.

6. Add a hair clip where the French plait ends and the normal plait begins.

And there you have it!

This hair style stays in all day, which is perfect to keep your little girls hair off their face.

Let me know what you think:) also let me know if you would like a more detailed post on doing different types of plaits as I would happy to try and write that up.
