Hey guys:) Today's tutorial was fun for me because it has several components going on at once what with the Side Victory Rolls, the Back-over Roll, and of course, the Bumper Bangs! This style was made so iconic by women like Betty Page, that they are often called 'Betty Bangs', take a look: Like I said, there are several components in this style which means you can take any one of them and mix it with some other retro style or use it just by itsself, and you'd still be spot on! The mix & match aspect of the 40s and 50s is my absolute favorite, and you really can't go wrong with this style, especially where spring and summer are concerned. I could see myself sporting these bangs to car shows and picnics, etc. I've loved looking through old photos in preparation for this series, and bevcause this style was worn by so many stars of the silver screen like Rita Hayworth and Betty Grable, that I felt that in order to do it any sort of justice I had to do something that I've never done on the blog: A black & white Hair Tutorial! Supplies needed: - fine toothed comb - 2+ inch curling iron - bobby pins - hairspray Method: Step #1: Start with day old+ hair. Pull forward a bang section starting from the back of your part, rounding towards the front. Pin for later. Next separate two sections, one on either side, by putting a finger above your ear and again at the back of your part and bring them together. Pin them up for later. Add a teeny bit of smoothing serum to the back of your hair, and brush smooth with a fine toothed comb. Step #2: Separate the back of your hair into three even sections. Starting with the middle, you're going to use your curling iron to curl your section over (so the hair is going away from your head and up), and once the hair is too hot to touch you're going to clamp and release your iron, gently letting the curl fall into your hand still formed. Pin the curl to the nape of your neck from the inside out the other side (so pins won't show), and spray a little for setting. Step #3: Repeat with the right and left side, gently releasing the curl from the iron into your hand and pinning it directly to your head, being sure to match up the openings with the center roll so they become one. Spray the whole thing over with hairspray and gently come away and stray hairs. Step #4: I find that the side victory rolls are best formed by curling the hair in the direction that you plan them to shape (at an angle towards the back), then rolling it up over 2-3 fingers and pinning it in the desired shape. It can get a little funny trying to get your rolls to match, but practice makes perfect, and if they are a tiny bit different no one will ever know! :) Step #5: The final step is of course, your bangs! You're going to release them from the clip, brush them out and slightly up (using some serum if needed for smoothness and shine), and give them a good curling under, starting at the ends and rolling up. Again you're going to gently clamp and release your curling iron, allowing the curl to gently slide off into your palm. Hold in place with one hand while your other hand does the pinning. Gently pull them to either side, stretching them out as it were, and rounding then ends upwards. Smooth over with your hairspray and comb once more, and you're all done darlin! I would love to hear if you are a Pinup or Rockabilly enthusiast and/or when you would use a style like this. I need more ideas as to where I can pull these tutorials in the Sweetheart Series off in my small town, because they have been so much fun to do! I can't wait to hear what you think:) THanks for dropping by, and a huge thankj you to those of you that gave me reassurance on the post length yesterday!

College student Brooke Lacey's bumper sticker has saved a suicidal persons life. Here's that story from New Zealand. It's inspiring.
Raging bookworm. This sticker is: - Weatherproof, so it will last outside and can be used as a bumper sticker on a car - Durable, so it can be put on high contact items like phone cases and last a relatively long time - Dishwasher safe, so it can be put on water bottles and hydroflasks - Woebegone, wacky, and cute as heck You can buy a 3 inch version of the sticker, which is great for things like notebooks, laptops, and water bottles. You can also buy a 5 inch version, which is big enough to be highly visible on cars. Either sticker will work as a bumper sticker, but the 5 inch is bigger and therefore more visible. If you want it even BIGGER and MORE VISIBLE I also offer 7 and 9 inch versions. These are also great for cars. If you need it bigger than that, I can print it bigger, just message me and we'll work something out. If you like this sticker, I have plenty more in my shop that I promise you'll love. Go check them out: https://www.etsy.com/shop/woebegonegoods/ I also have another sticker shop with a similar vibe to it, but instead of chaotic animals, the focus is pessimistic plants.

C'est un hold-up. Possum art par @possum.mood sur Instagram Cet autocollant est : - Environ 3 x 3 pouces - Laminé dans du vinyle, il est donc relativement épais, résistant aux rayures et durable - Fabriqué avec des matériaux imperméables et résistants aux intempéries, il résiste donc à l'eau légère et à l'exposition au soleil. Cependant, il ne convient pas à une exposition extrême, comme à l'arrière d'une voiture (pour les autocollants, consultez la section autocollants de ma boutique) - Woebegone, loufoque et mignon comme diable Si vous aimez ce sticker, j'en ai plein d'autres dans ma boutique et je vous promets que vous allez les adorer. Allez les voir : https://www.etsy.com/shop/woebegonegoods/ Veuillez noter que pour tenter de réduire le gaspillage, j'envoie mes stickers dans un emballage minimaliste (seulement une enveloppe).

2 inch water bottle or laptop sticker featuring 400X magnified tomato cells microscope view. Ever wondered what happens when science and art meet? Using my old college text books and my biology degree as inspiration, I have begun artistically painting watercolor images of microscopic views of various plants. If you love plants, science, watercolor art or all of the above, these stickers are for you. From a distance, they decorate your surface like a lovely mosaic. Up close, surprise your friends and coworkers with your detailed bundle of cells and diagrammable accuracy. Each sticker purchase supports a real life farmer (me!) and helps her organic farm stay open. Thank you! Learn more by checking out Golgi Farm on Facebook or Instagram.
