Motherhood Mondays: Native shoes

We were hanging out with friends this weekend, and every single child we saw was wearing Native shoes. Apparently they're the new "it" shoe for kids. It makes sense: They're waterproof, comfy and way cooler than Crocs. Until now, Toby has worn only sneakers, but we're going to order him a pair of these right now for summer vacations.

P.S. They also have them in grown-up sizes!

7 Hostess Gifts That People Will Love

Fancy soaps sit on the bathroom shelf, and potpourri sachets get lost in a drawer. So, instead of bringing traditional hostess gifts when you visit a friend, bust out one of these slam-dunk gifts that people will love (and want to use!) right away.

1. Adorable watchdog doorstop to make them smile, $24.
2. Spanish lavender to make their kitchen smell like summer, $58.
3. Indoor s'more maker, for obvious reasons, $25.
4. Summery ros wine, with a tree wine stopper, $8.
5. Cheeky dish towel, since we've all been there, $16.50.
6. Big Sur room spray to inspire wanderlust, $20.
7. Guilty-pleasure gossip magazines to flip through together.

Thoughts? What do you normally bring as a hostess gift?

P.S. More round-ups, and the first travel week...

Party Pony How-to

party_pony_pictorial_hairstyle_before_and_after

It’s officially party season!

Glam up your look for the holidays using hairpieces and extensions. We’ll show you how!

What you’ll need for the Party Pony hairstyle:

22" Pony/Fall Extension by Daisy Fuentes WOW
Bobby pins (4-6)
Hairspray
Brush/Comb
Curling iron

To watch a video on how to apply this piece click here.

Start by curling your hair to match the texture of the ponytail extension this particular piece comes curled. (By the way – if you wish to wear this ponytail straight, you can straighten it with your favorite flat iron because it is made with heat-friendly synthetic hair.)
Section your hair from ear to ear and place it into a small bun or ponytail. Clip the top section out of the way for Step 4.
Place the base of your drawstring pony over your bun or ponytail and pull the elastic band to tightly secure. Open the small clip located on the top, comb it over your hair, and then snap it closed.
Unclip the top section from Step 2 and taking the tip of your teasing brush or comb, prep a small section to tease.
Start at the crown and pull up a 1-2 inch section - the smaller the section the more volume you will create. Brush the hair back mid-way and run the brush down the length of the hair towards the crown, when you reach the scalp pull the brush out and start again. Make quick short strokes until you have the desired height and fullness. (Tip: the bigger the hair the closer to god.)
Every time you backcomb spray a little bit of hairspray so that it holds the hair longer.
Carefully use your brush to smooth down any fly-a-ways.
Wrap smaller sections of the top around the base of the ponytail attachment and secure with bobby pins.
To finish it off, pull sections of the secured top up to reach the desired height and look.

That’s all – super easy, right? If you give it a shot let us know, we’d love to see how your Party Pony turns out!
