sparkles in your hair

Spring is almost upon us! The first official day of spring is March 20. Can you believe it?! I cannot wait for the sun to be shinning and the flowers and trees to be blooming with life. Daylight savings time is on SUNDAY already....except for AZ. Did you know they don't partake in daylight savings ever!? 


I'm not really a fan of spring forward though...i like when it gets dark early, makes me feel less guilty when I sit down to watch TV & its dark out...yes TV is my life

So with every new season comes new spring clothes & accessories....& one of my favorite accessories to wear throughout the year are headbands & bows....duh right? 


so I was super excited when one of my favorite local hair accessory company - JOLIE got in new SPRING products....

 
what I love about these headbands is not only are they SO comfortable on my head but they're also the perfect amount of 'bling'. Sometimes things can be overdone & you all know I am a big believer in less is more, so these headbands are the PERECT accessory to add to your hair.

You can dress them up or you can dress them down...they're even perfect for a wedding party or blushing bride....OR you can add one around a new floppy beach hat to add some flare to your hat! 

They come is so many pretty colors & styles.  PLUS as you know I have A LOT of hair....i mean a lot. So if these dainty adorable headbands can fit & stay in my beast of a hair, then they can on any bodys head. 


However, if you are not a fan of the bling in the headband above --- Check out this adorable nautical themed one below for a more simple look & not so much bling- 

YET, if headbands just aren't your thing, well just recently Jolie Hair Accessories has added KNOTTY TIES...with a pretty twist --- instead of just the typical hair tie, they have added some pretty accessories with them -

I love the diamond skull on the tie to the left - & of course obsessed with the full on glitter ties! There are so many different colors, styles, accessories that she adds to these beautiful headbands & knotty ties that I wish I could show you them all....not to mention see the pic below - top right corner...yeah those are BELTS! i die. 

 these hair accessories are the perfect addition to any outfit don't you agree?


SO do you want one? What if I told you that the fabulous Elizabeth of Jolie has offered to give you messy readers a chance to win a beautiful headband & knotty ties?!?!


oh yes! today 3 girls will get the chance to win something from Jolie!! I am so jealous - i want everything. 


This is a quick, simple entry giveaway & will be open for 2 weeks & there will be 3 winners!! GOOD LUCK

are we being fooled?!

have you all heard about the Manti Te'o story?! its pretty crazy. if you haven't or are still not sure what really happened here's a short little version to catch you up to speed - basically he made up a fake girlfriend, told everyone about her, had pictures etc...then he told everyone that she was dying of cancer along the same time his grandma was dying...so it looked like he was going through 2 tragedies at once, which he claims helped & inspired him to be an even better linebacker. So of course everyone was praising him for going through 2 deaths & still becoming a first draft pick.......

until the secret got out. there was no dying girlfriend. there was no girlfriend with cancer. there was no girlfriend. he fooled everyone....However, he's 'claiming' now he was the victim of a 'catfish' incident but you can decide that on your own.

Personally, I think he's full of shit & what bothers me the most is how EASY it was for him to lie to everyone for over 2 years. 

It just goes to show that even if you think you know someone, in reality you may not know them at all. That's why it's funny with blogging sometimes because yeah sure you think you know all these people writing about their lives but then again look how simple it is to make up a story? 

& It's even easier to lie when it's online...I am sure you have all seen the MTV show 'Catfish'...everyone is getting fooled on that show...so how do we know in blogland we're not getting fooled? 

just something to think about...

honesty really is the best policy & i honestly cannot express to you guys how much I love this girl I have on the blog today. she is one of the nicest & happiest people....she always is smiling & putting out such positive vibes, its contagious. not to mention she has a fabulous sense of humor & like myself loves to talk in hashtag...PLUS she's a working girl with her own business....& I am obsessed with the hair accessories she makes - see picture below - but enough of me rambling on meet her for yourself - & do yourself a favor & get one of these adorable headbands!
