Coffee Beans and Bobby Pins

Side Twist

August 9, 2012

As promised, here is the hairstyle from CCM (seen here). Easy peasey!
Side Twist
Hair length:any
Difficulty: 2 bobby pins

 
  

I’m still getting used to videotaping myself. My girlfriends who follow my blog told me I seem nervous or too serious. Hopefully one day I can be a cool kid and not such a n00b in my videos. I’ll work on that.

On another note, with the soon-to-be gone for such an extended period of time, there are certain chores around the house I’ve realized I take for granted. I’ve lived alone before and I consider myself pretty independent, but once fiance and I moved in together, he took over certain duties. For example, after the shower I had LOADS of boxes and such that needed to be carried out to the dumpster. It took me about 6 trips to get it all out. With Mr. Coffee Beans here, I probably would have only went once, or not at all because he would have taken care of it. And then today when I got home, I flipped on the entry light and BAM, it died. I hate changing light bulbs on the ceiling- Im 5”2 and pretty much need a full sized ladder to even get into the top of the cupboard. I know what you’re thinking whah, whah…I know I can do all these things on my own, but its making me appreciate that guy a lot and basically I’m trying to say I hope the next 6.5 weeks go quickly because not only do I need a vacuum-er, trash taker outer and light bulb changer, but I just kind of miss him a lot.
Any specific chores your Mr. or BF do consistently around the house?

    Love the DIY hair video! Sadly, my hubby doesn't do any chores around the house but that's because I'm much more OCD then he is!

    Great hair look and I don't like taking out the trash at all, or changing light bulbs an such, but I do what I need to when I have to, and got over it once I had my son. To be honest, I hate chores period and as I sit here on the computer I am thinking about how I need to clean today, yet I do not want to!!!!!!!! Boo!!!!!!! I hope you have a good day! xx, Pip

    My Mr. Jesse for some reason LOVES to do the sweeping and mopping. By all means go right ahead sir! We also each have a set chore, I do the dishes (ALWAYS) and he goes to the laundrymat once on the weekend (usually a sunday). I don't like that place! and I also don't like living in a dinky apartment where we HAVE to go to the laundrymat instead of doing it at home. 🙁 Sorry soap box… LOVE YOU~

    I love it, can you come over and do my hair for me!?

    As far as chores, when we first got married, it was pretty divided. But now, my husband does most of it. The key is to make it seem like it was HIS idea to do them. Works like a charm! 🙂

    I understand what you mean about seeming nervous/serious in front of the camera. I have started considering doing some videos on my blog and when I re-watch them, I feel like it's not me I'm watching. I definitely need to work on that 🙂 Great post by the way, I'll definitely try this hairdo out!
