French Braid Updo

David is at work. Marissa is at school. Maribel is at dance practice. Mariella is sitting here with me. And the twins are napping. Mommy Love needed a little break. :)

So we're watching some YouTube videos. And I found this one...



I just love this hairstyle! So cute. I have such straight hair. And I don't do much with it. Because I don't know what to do with it. I've always had this problem. It was much more of an issue when I worked. But now that I stay home with my 5 kiddos, well it's usually down. Or in a bun. Or something like that.

But David and I are going on a date night soon. So I was looking for some nice things to do. I'm trying to make an effort at looking nice for my dear husband. My plan is to practice this at nap time this afternoon. I really want to try this for our date night. :)

Meltdown

I just realized that we experienced a meltdown. A bad one. And I don't know how it happened. We went to Amelia and Riqs wedding over the weekend. And we ended up staying at a hotel. It was actually brilliantly planned out before. We took one small suitcase with everything we needed. And I threw my makeup bag into my "everyday" purse. I pretty much forgot about it.

This morning, I picked up Lauren and took her and Maribel to dance. My purse did feel heavier than normal. But I didn't bother to look. I'm a mom. It happens. Somehow toys and snacks always find there way in. Mariella and I went grocery shopping while the girls had their class.

The day was typical in every way. Until we got home. We had lunch and I put the girls down for their nap. And I decided to clean out my purse. How did I missed my makeup bag? No me sabes! It is a larger one that you travel with, 8X12". I opened it up to find my cream eyeshadow had melted. And melted all over my bag. Por Dios!

I had 4 brown cream shadows that turned to goo. It really looked like poo. Si, poo. I was grossed out. It has taken me an hour to just clean off my makeup. The bag, I don't even want to think about it. But how did it happen? I know we live in the desert, but I had my purse with me all day. I didn't leave it in the car. It is just a nightmare to look at!
