FUN BUN

 I spent the 13th of July with my friend Leah learning how to make a sock fun bun.  I don't want to tell you how I did it because I want you to think: wow- her perfect bun must have taken HOURS.  (It didn't take hours.) (And also, imagine I'm wearing a fancy outfit and I bothered to put make up on.)  (Also, pretend I put product in my hair to reduce fly-aways.)  (I love writing in parentheses...it makes me feel like I'm whispering in your ear even though I'm not.)  (ok, I'll stop.) 

 

You might be thinking: Mary Kay- why the fun bun?

Here's why.  I'm a stay at home mom....but I'm not exactly looking like Betty Draper (featured below)

I can't let my kid steal my beauty (take a look at the picture below...I am seriously the beacon of beauty these days).  Its not enough to change out of my PJ's every day.  I need to care a little more about looking remotely like the person I was before I had a kid and got fat.  Note to self: get un-fat.   That's a challenge for another day.

Trying to look like Mulan.  

HERE IS MY VOW:  Now that I know a quick way to make my hair look nice, next week I am going Betty Draper.  I will make my husband dinner, put my hair in a fun bun, wear a dress, apron and red lipstick.  Candles will be lit and my house will be sparkly clean.  Yes, I'll take a picture of the finished product but for now....take a look at the rough draft :)
