Pinned Bob

IMG_9420

I have done long long mermaid hair, shorter, chin length hair and pretty much everything in between. I always LOVE LOVE LOVE my shorter hair, but about 3 or 4 weeks in I start to miss the versatility and ease of just being able to throw my hair up in a pony tail or messy bun and begin the long process of again growing it out. About 2 years ago I discovered the awesomeness of pinning my longer hair into a messy bob for the day. No more craving shorter hair since I can play with it for a few days then go back to long, easy hair.

The secret is having layers that are the length of the bob you want. Specially in the front. Mine are between shoulder and chin length.

Some gentle teasing around the hairs on my neckline and some pins are all I use. Just pulling three or four sections up in total. I simply tuck the hair under then secure with two pins criss crossed over each other and it seems to hold all day!

A little messy length in front keeps it fun and easy to pull behind my ears.

You can adjust and play with it until it feels about right, there's no wrong way to do it

And now I am patiently going to wait a few more washes for my hair to tone down to the perfect pastel (oops! got a little carried away with the last colour touch up LOL).

Memories

IMG_9346

We had the best weekend at the cabin. We had our best friends out and made it a relaxing weekend to remember. There were 2 kids, 4 adults, 4 dogs and lots of laughs. They are more like family to us so it doesn't feel like entertaining, just everyone taking it easy and enjoying the moment.

One of the highlights was the boys deciding to throw us girls a private fireworks show. I think they had more fun orchestrating the whole thing really, but it was incredible.

Lots of warm snuggles by the fire.

It was definitely the kind of weekend I treasure.
