Feautured on...

Last weekend was a great one for us. At least as far as GDH goes. One things I love more about what Beans and I do is when we are lucky enough to be invited to post on other peoples sites. Especially when its a site we love to follow!

Saturday we had a hairstyle tutorial featured over at Skip To My Lou. If you've never been over to Skip To My Lou you need to go check out Cindy and all her

Upside Down Braid {Beans Teaches}

 Its been too long since we did a Beans teaches tutorial. We did this one especially for those of you that want to do the upside down braid but can't figure out the best way to have your little one lay upside down while you work. Beans has got your covered!!! She will show your little ones how its done in this video. (And hopefully that helps.)




She seriously makes me laugh. The older she

The Truth About HEAT and Your HAIR

A few weeks back I posted a YouTube video on my Facebook page along with a lot of other people out there. This video has literally gone viral. Some may laugh at it and find it comical others feel for this little girl. I fit into the later of the two extremes. But that isn't what prompted this post.

I read from another hair blogger that said something about the heat and that she should have

St. Patrick Day GREEN POST

The best part about St. Patrick Day is GREEN!!!And what better way to have a little extra green in your life than with making your own green hair accessories. Yesterday I made seven different hair accessories for Beans to choose from for St Patrick Day. Maybe that was a bit excessive! It actually started out as one, but we ended up with seven. No big deal though--- it just means you guys have

My Pretty Little Flower

 I was emailed a few weeks back that the original link I had linked to do these flowers I've done a handful of times has gone private. And that you guys can no longer see the tutorial. I'm sorry about that! It started me on this fun bow-making adventure though! I've been making flowers like crazy over the last couple days! Its been so fun!!! But I wanted you to have the tutorial for this one.

Darling Dahlia

The other day... with my knees being up and icing so much... I needed something new to do. And something challenging. So I purchased a new flower pattern from All Things Ribbon. Totally fell in love!! This one was my first attempt and I know a few things I could do better, but I had to share it with you all because it is GREAT for spring. I'm getting so desperate for flowers I'm forcing Beans

Ribbon Covering your Headband

I don't know if there is anyone who doesn't know how to do this, but I wanted to share my own recipe for hair accessory success. This one is great especially right now because Beans has decided she's DONE with bangs (Boooo). And she is ready to grow them out again. Headbands are a lifesaver when you have a little one growing her hair out. We will be making a bunch of these in every color for

Dear Daisy,

This is one of my "go to" hair flowers. If someone needs a quick cute flower for something I usually turn to this one! For one thing its sooooo easy. For another you can do a lot with the petals to make each one very unique. This one I love to play with!!!



You'll have to enlarge the picture to read the step by step. PLEASE let me know if you have any problems viewing this tutorial! Happy

Ribbon and Bobby-Pins

I used to do this one all the time around holidays. Its been a long time since we did this and I figured WHY NOT!!! You can honestly attach so many things to bobby-pins. You can attach ribbon, charms, pearls, little flowers... there are so many options. Have fun with this idea and get some cute things put on your bobby pins.

On this tutorial I think I did my ribbon just a little longer than I

St. Patrick Day {Copy Cat}

You might remember a few months back when we had Jen from All Things Ribbon guest posting for us. Well trying to recreate her flower has been on my "to-do" list since that time. Now that I have been down for a bit with this knee surgery I decided now was as good of a time as any. So I went back to the original tutorial post and followed the step-by-step and came up with this super cute fun

Adding Ribbon to Your Ponytail

One of my favorite holidays to make hair accessories for is ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!! Because you need GREEN anyways and what better way to do it than with fun hair pretties. This is one of the easiest ways we know to make a fun SIMPLE accessory for your hair. It easy is a beginning level project. But if you still struggle with our instructions in any way please don't hesitate to let me know and I

Braided Updo

I am feeling SO GUILTY about not having this one done sooner. I got a few emails from people wanting to use this one and I hope I didn't totally miss the mark on this one. I know one thing for sure... I have it done just in time for PROM!!! So hopefully we can see this one used a lot this Spring for Prom and Easter!


So (for those who want to know) my surgery went... well. They got in there
