I love everything about the holidays. Family time, Christmas decorations, glitter, red lipstick… you know… the usual. I have been so busy lately… I decided to use my Intel Tablet to help me pump up my glam factor.
Last month, I told you how I used my Acer tablet to get “me” time… and my kids still haven’t taken it over! I told my son it’s “Mommy’s Work Computer” so he doesn’t even ask to play with it anymore. I have been so busy recently… that I haven’t been taking very good care of myself. I’ve been missing workouts, not eating well, getting too little sleep… you know the usual positivity suckers. So I’ve been using my tablet to get inspiration to get me out of this grinch-like funk.. and find my holiday glam.
First thing I needed to do was switch up my hair… so I searched Pinterest for inspiration. I created a entire board full of fantastic hair ideas. I wanted a ‘brightened up’ look at that is exactly what I got. I brought my tablet to the salon, and showed my stylist all the ideas. She loved that I was able to show her all my inspiration looks in once place… and she gave me exactly what I wanted. I love my new ombre hair!
I have been using YouTube to find some holiday makeup tutorials. The tablet works great so I am able to pull up my favorite channels in no time! Thanks to YouTube I am now a pro with a clipless curling iron.. and I love wearing my hair curly now! (I wrote all about it in my Family Favorites post!) I have also FINALLY learned how to put on fake lashes, and I am obsessed with them.
Nothing helps perk me up like some holiday shopping… for myself! For Black Friday, I lounged on the couch and used my Intel Tablet to take advantage of some serious deals. I bought a dress from Banana Republic for 50% off. (I wore it this past weekend) I also got the sweetest little stacking bands from a store on Etsy called The Love Knot Shop. I got a rose gold band and a sterling silver band and I love them!
Now I may still be exhausted… but at least I will look good hobbling towards the finish line of 2014!

I love your new hair! After your post with the clueless curling iron I added it to my Amazon list. I ended up getting it for my birthday last weekend! Ha! I love it-and now I'll be able to have awesome hair for Christmas. So, thanks!! ?
You will love it! it took me forever to figure out how to get the 'look' I wanted with it, which is where YouTube was a lifesaver! I cant wait to see all your new looks 🙂
Stacking bands for each kid would be a fun way to "need" more jewelry. I'll keep this in mind! And your hair looks great!
Thank you! The bands are so thin but everyone has been noticing, its really funny!! I love them.. 🙂
You look great! I love your new hairdo. SO pretty!
Thank you so much! I love it too, it actually takes me less time to curl it that to straighten it, but everyone thinks its so fancy! 😉
You've been losing sleep, missing workouts? Really? Can't tell. You look fab. Your fam is gorg!
Aww, thank you! I have been doing a pretty good job at hiding it all.. but trust me.. I am hanging on by a thread! ha!
So cool! You look mighty sassy, mama!
I am working on stepping up my sassy-factor for 2015! 😉
Love the ombre hair. I love pinning hair styles and colors too it's so helpful!
Thank you! I wasnt sure if I was 'too old' for it, but it has grown on me for sure! 🙂 Thanks for stopping over!
