    September 18, 2013December 12, 2018

    I like bandeau tops, they just don’t like me. Ok they don’t like my lats and therefore like to slide down and scrunch up until I feel like I look like Vera Di Milo. Therefore,

  • Bikini Facelift: Scalloped bottoms.

    February 23, 2013December 12, 2018

    Scallops. They are great seared and slathered in butter, and even better when it’s the word to describe the trim on any article of clothing. Especially Bikinis. I’ve seen a few rather delectable scallops pop

    March 27, 2012December 12, 2018

    Always love leaving a trail of some sand doodles…for however long the will ocean let them stay. 🌴🧡 #palmtreetype #faith
    Ok, big triple barrel iron waves tips coming your Ok, big triple barrel iron waves tips coming your way…Because it took me a few tries to figure this dealio out, but now it’s my go to tool. Especially for quick, messy beach waves that always look undone and different each time. 🧡🌴

(Note: I have medium length, fine hair with a shag haircut. So this is what’s helped me given my style and hair.)

1: You only need to clamp down once for each section.
2: Hold each section out at an angle when you clamp it.
3: Give it a little slack so you don’t get any creases
4: Leave the ends out
5: For the very front, keep the barrel open and just use the first barrel like a curling iron.
6: Lightly brush it out and spray with favorite texturizing spray. Then mess it all up.

Boom. Love this thing. Hope the video helps. 
My wave iron is by @bondiboost (I found a barely used one on Ebay.) #beachwaves #shaghaircut #goldfishkisshair
    Kinda love how this one turned out, and how if you Kinda love how this one turned out, and how if you flip it horizontally it works that way too. (Also kinda feel rebellious whenever I post a single photo these days.) Anywho, hope this brings a fun colorful mess to you, wherever you might be today. 🧡☀️🌊🎨 #goldfishkissart #watercolor #surfart
