Hair Tutorial: How to do a Fancy Ponytail Twist: Keeping Style In Your Life
I’ve decided I’m actually getting a *little* better at doing my hair. I think by now you know I’ve always been a bit lazy about styling it. In pictures you often see me with my hair all down. That is mainly because I’ve never truly known what else to do with it. But, I’ve been practicing and learning. Keeping up with new styles has turned out to be a ton of fun and I love the opportunity to pass on my new found loves and passions to you.
In the past few months, I’ve shared a few of my favorites – beach waves, a fishtail braid, a high sock bun and a braided bun.
Now for one that is SUPER easy and will literally only take you minutes to do and you can wear it to work or just out and about: a fancy ponytail twist.
So, what do you think? Easy, right? Any styles you love to do? I would love to know.
This video is part of my weekly ‘Keeping Style in Your Life’ Series… a new one comes out every Monday. For past videos, see below.

DIY Flower Arrangements for Mother’s Day – Keeping Style in Your Life
Mother’s Day is supposed to be this glorious celebration of the women who love us, guide us and nurture us in the most beautiful ways. It is a day to say, ‘I love you’, ‘I’m thinking about you’ and ‘You matter to me’. Naturally, like many days of this kind, Mother’s Day has become very commercialized and quite expensive. Your mom isn’t looking for you to spend a fortune on her.
She just wants to know she matters to you.
And what better way to show her you care than by creating something for her.
I love to give flowers, but know they can be a pricey endeavor. Instead of heading to the florist and spending a lot… why not create your own, adding your own special touch?
For this weeks, Keeping Style in Your Life Video, here are two ways to inexpensively create DIY Flower Arrangements for Mother’s Day (or any special occasion for that matter!)
