Curls on a Monday

I sit here this morning ultimately debating on whether or not I should commit to these changes to my blog. I act like its life or death, it's not, I'm just overdramatic. But I feel like if I change my blog now it has to be the last time I change it (or at least the last change for a good while), because I've made soooooo many changes over the course of the few months that I've had it. In the beginning I had planned to blog every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Soon that changed to just Monday and Friday, then there was at least a month's time where I didn't blog at all because I didn't have anything I felt was worth reading. When we landed in Belgium I began to blog again every Sunday because I actually had good material, but alas, now that we've been in Spain for about 5 weeks I'm running out of things to blog about. So in order to keep myself blogging and to give me something to do besides just going to the gym I feel these changes are necessary. Most of my readers (if not all of them) are my family and my boyfriend's family, which they're like my family too. So like I was saying it's basically all family. They navigate to my blog to read about what Mike and I have been up to each week and weekend, which is greatly appreciated because frankly I didn't think anyone would really read it at all. And starting today when these changes are implemented I hope to still have my family readers because you guys (are) the real MVP, and I'm still going to do my daily Sunday blogs to let you know what we've been up to. Mike and I have made a promise to try and do more exciting things every weekend, even when it rains because apparently there's no escaping the rain here. I mean for God-sake we live in Barcelona, we live in Spain...we live in Europe period, That's not something American people our age get to do too often (unless you're obscenely rich). So on that note, onto what my post for today is really going to be about!

As promised I'm delivering a brand new type of blog post today. New type of blog post to the world? No. New to me? Yes, because I've never done one before. Normally these types of posts would be done through a vlog on Youtube or something, however I don't have enough gall to sit in front of my laptop's video camera for a good 15 minutes discussing the hairstyle I chose to do and showing you how I styled it. I can't even handle speaking in front of a crowd of people I've known for 3+ years (e.g. our going away party) without my heart feeling like it's going to burst out of my chest, so there's no way I'm going to record myself and post it on the internet knowing there's a potential possibility of millions of people seeing it. Yeah, no thanks I'm cool.

So anyways I spend what's probably an unhealthy amount of time studying every nook and cranny of all things Pinterest. My boards on Pinterest are pretty much what any 20-something girl's boards would be (Desserts, Memes, Wedding day, Hairstyles, Cute outfits, etc), however my favorite things to look at on Pinterest would be different hairstyles, makeup ideas, and cute outfits. That's probably a typical girl thing too. Some of the hairstyles I see on Pinterst seem rather intricate and others seem pretty easy, so what I've planned to do on Mondays is post a step by step picture tutorial for said hairstyle in order to show everyone that even a girl like me (someone not exactly skilled in the art of styling hair) can indeed re-create the hairstyles that are seen on Pinterest. I do realize that there are some hairstyles that already have step by step tutorials, but the thing is the girls that do those could already have experience (maybe they do, maybe they don't. I don't know their life) with styling hair and whatnot. I offer you a chance to see someone who is a beginner try and do different hairstyles. And when I say beginner, believe me I mean it. I wore my hair in a ponytail or pigtails all throughout elementary school and halfway through middle school until I discovered what a straightener was. Then I only ever straightened my hair until my junior year in high school because that's all I knew how to do. I didn't learn how to curl my hair until junior year was almost over. That was close to 4 years ago and I haven't learned to do much else since then. So bear with me for the first few types of these posts, they may not be all too glamorous but I will work on it.

Okay so here we go, I decided to go with something pretty easy for my first post.
Loose/Messy-ish curls with a flat iron!
It didn't take me long at all, maybe 10 minutes.
I messed up with one of the pictures, so I had to use a photo twice. And the font color goes back and forth between pink and black, but like I said...bear with me folks!
