New Job

I got a job! I'll be working with my sister. That being said, I will be quitting my hairstyle stuff (for every week anyway). I'll still post on here occasionally, but until I get the hang of the job and balancing my time and all that, I probably won't be posting too much.

Just wanted to let you know that.

Non-Vintage ~ Waterfall Braid

I again, didn't style a vintage look (I sort of ran out of them). But I did a waterfall braid. I didn't get a picture but this is what it basically looked like:

Except not all the way around. I did one on each side going all the way back and pinned them.

(The picture is just a random one I found through search.)

P.S. I'm thinking of changing this to just a new style every week instead of vintage ones because I can't think of any more (that I'm willing to try. So in other words, not Betty Grable :P)

Delayed Hair Style Post

I'm so creative with my titles... anyways. I redid the hairstyle from Sunday and I have pictures. I literally just twirled strands of hair with my fingers.

So let me know what you think! It was a bit wind-blown later today but that's okay.

Delay

Yesterday I didn't style a vintage style and I took it out of my hair last night before I remembered to post a picture. It's sort of hard to describe. So I'll do it the same tomorrow and post about it. Sorry about the delay.

40's/50's pull back curly thing

Okay so I have no idea what you would call this. I was just experimenting and really liked this style. It looked like it could have been from the 40s or 50s so guess what? I'm posting it.

I put my hair up in rollers last night, took them out this morning and brushed through them so they would be smoother. Then I started crossing pieces of my hair on each side and this is the result:

Front: (Yes, I've definitely had better pictures of myself...)

Angle pictures:

The back:

Love that picture the best! :P How grand. The best picture is the one and only that doesn't include my face. Brilliant.

And just for the sake of silliness.

Now I go forth to bed. Let me know if you like this and comment with any ideas for vintage styles you would like me to try. :)

Fake Bob/bow style

Yesterday, I styled a fake bob. I think I curled my hair too much so it didn't really look right. But here's the picture:

I curled my hair the night before and then curled pieces under and bobby pinned them. By the way, has anyone thought about why they would be called bobby pins when girls are the ones who use them...? I don't find very many girls named Bobby. Actually... I don't know any. But that wouldn't be impossible, I guess.
Anyways... on to my next style.

Yesterday afternoon/evening I pulled pieces on both sides of my head above my ears up, twisted them, and pinned them into place. Then I pulled all my hair back in a bow. I also put in a flower.


<--- Here's the front.

And here's the back --->












So let me know what your think and what your ideas are about the bobby pin thing. I'm curious.

French Twist ~ 40s

This style was more in the 40s when the war started and women started working. Today I did this and a front poof/pomp thing in the front with my bangs. Here are some pictures:

Let me know what you think and if you have any other ideas for some hairstyles to try!

Break from 50s

I couldn't think of a hairstyle to do. Help! XD So I just kept my hair down today. Until after church tonight. I did this style (without the braid):

But that's no where close to 50s. So... yeah. Any ideas would be great!

Inspired Mary Costa Hairstyle

Today I styled something like this:

Not really turned out. It ended up with the bump on top and the hair on the left side pulled back like that. But I think my hair is too long and it didn't want to curl like that. So.. blah. But hey, I tried :P


~Emi♪

P.S If you think of any hairstyles you would like to see me do, just let me know and I'll try 'em.

40's Pomp

I attempted a style somewhat like The blonde hair in this picture:

However, it didn't turn out very well. My camera I use is dead as well, so I didn't get a picture. Sorry. Tonight I'm either going to have it just curled like I did last week or put up.

Classic 40's waves

Sorry I'm a day late, posting the pictures. I might do this sometimes. Some Sundays I'm gone all day.

Yesterday I styled the 40's curls.  What do you think? I got a comment that I looked like the Andrews sisters
(-->).
They did something with their bangs that was different, but I took the comment as a compliment since that's somewhat the look I was going for.

I really like this look the best so far. I've started doing it in my hair everyday, actually. Let me know what you think!

40s Style (Peggy Carter)

So today I styled the 40's look that Peggy Carter had in Captain America. Well.. I attempted. My curls were too big but I'm really wanting to perfect the style, so I'll be doing this again sometime. I readjusted after taking these pictures and I think it looks better now. But, oh well. Let me know what you think!

Weekly Style and a Question

Hey everybody!

Today I styled the look I posted the other day. I'm going to start doing a 1940s-50s style in my hair every Sunday. Until I run out of things to try (which will probably be awhile), I'll post a picture at the end of each post every week. Let me know what you think of them and if you have any styles you want me to try (as long as I don't have to cut my hair to do it).


Now for the question. I'm wanting to have a themed youtube channel but I haven't decided what the theme should be yet. So my question is: What would you like to see me do? I need some suggestions!

So. Summup. Come see my styles. What should I do? See you guys!

Victorious day!

Working all day long. Finally, an ending product to be proud of. I stepped back from the counter and looked at my reflection in the mirror. Yes! Finally did it! It had taken all day but, boy, was I glad I had done it. I don't find doing new hairstyles hard to do but this one had been a pain.

Victory rolls! Several new challenges had been involved with this hairstyle.

1. Teasing   -   I hadn't ever teased my hair before. It's not good for your hair really so I won't be doing it a lot. But it was interesting. I don't think I did it all right with the smoothing out afterwards but, you know...
2. Curling my hair backwards    -   I think I've done this, but when I try to do this normally, I end up rolling the curling iron the normal way and giving the bottom of the strand a huge crease.

Then there were some not so new challenges. Like getting my bangs to cooperate. That's always fun. 

But the end result was worth it! Ready?

Wait for it...

Here it is:

I give the credit of the photo to my brother. He took it and edited it for me.

But there they are!!! Victory rolls! Yay!

The New Year - 2014

I'm sure about a billion people are doing a post on the same thing (probably way before me, you know, at the beginning of the year when you're supposed to do it). But here I am.

Resolutions at the beginning of the year seem to never last. Especially ones like 'trying a different hair style every week' or something like that. So I wanted to at least do something more important as a resolution.

I've decided (and started on January 1st) to read through my Bible by the end of the year. Though I have read my Bible through, I have yet to read it from Genesis to Revelation in one year. So that is my main goal. My second is to memorize a verse (or a few verses) each week. Unlike most New Year's Resolutions however, if I fail to do that in a week, I'm not going to just give it up altogether. I think both of these things are important to a Christian's spiritual walk.



As a side note, I'm sorry I haven't been very active on my blogs. I plan on being a little bit better. I haven't drawn anything much recently, so I want to do that soon, as well. I'm planning on posting a drawing on the last weekend of every month.

Lastly, I want to share a quote with you. My good friend said this in a text message when we were talking and I thought it might help someone out there.

"The problem with stopping fighting [spiritually] is that the enemy doesn't quit with you." ~ Allie

When you wave the white flag, the enemy gives an evil cackle and says 'I've got her..." Mwahaha! Or Him. Whichever the case may be. And he keeps you right where he wants you until you start fighting again. Unless you never do. In which case, he keeps you where he wants you until you die (how depressing). I know that we don't always feel like fighting. But we have to anyway. The Bible says in Ephesians 6:13b-14a, "..and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore.." When you feel like you can't stand anymore, stand anyway. By the way, praying would help with that.

Anyway, that's my little splurge. Thanks for reading!
