Doing It Myself

Being a busy wife, entrepreneur, and content creator sometimes collaborating with other creators like myself is very hard. Creating new and exciting content for my various social media platforms is often time-consuming and difficult to shoot. One of the ways I’ve been able to maximize my time and efforts have been to shoot a lot of content myself. I have learned over the years how to master taking my own photographs for my blog as well as shooting my own videos. Today I’m going to show you how I use my tripod and Bluetooth remote to shoot beautiful blog photos as well as how I create content for my Instagram.

Remote Tripod On The Go

While browsing on Amazon I came across a device that I knew would make taking my own photographs so much easier. It is a wireless Bluetooth remote that is connected to a phone tripod. This allows me to take my photos at the drop of a dime as well as create beautiful photography on the go. My friends laugh because oftentimes we will be driving to lunch or the mall and I will stop in the middle of the road if I see a beautiful backdrop that I feel would be a great photo opportunity.

I found some perfect options for Bottega dupes. Want to see them? You couldn’t tell me anything lol. The Bottega Venta bag is all the rave right now and everyone is running to the stores looking to get their hands on this trend. From the bag to the shoes, Bottega is HOT right now.

Must Have Coats Every Woman Should Have

Organizing and cleaning out my closet has to be one of the most stressful things for me to do. I have a love-hate relationship with my closet. I don’t like to get rid of my clothes but most times still have tags attached or it’s something I purchased on clearance and never worn. Especially when it comes to my coats and jackets. This weekend I ended up finding a jacket and a winter coat I forgot I even had. Go figure. They were hiding in the back of my closet and just waiting to see the light of day. It’s an amazing feeling when you shop and rediscover long lost gems hiding away in the deep dark areas of your own closet.

beauty

I’ve always wanted blonde hair. For a short time, I had highlights in my natural hair but I was still in beauty school, and let’s just say I had a lot to learn. My hair was in the sink and shedding like crazy. I stopped working with color until I learned all the basics and found a way to regrow my hair. This is also one of the many reasons I am so passionate about healthy hair.

Why A Blonde Pixie

So one day I got the bright idea came to me to try a blonde pixie hairstyle. I wanted to go shorter but only temporary. Usually, when I go blonde it’s with long hair such as in this video tutorial here. You will learn really quickly that I love to change my hairstyles often. So this was the best of both worlds. There is something almost magical about creating a new look. I feel like Cinderella every time I change my hair color. I’m ready to put on a ball gown and walk around the grocery store lol.

In this video hair tutorial, I will show you how I achieved this blonde pixie quick weave hairstyle. I have mastered this quick weave technique over the years. By doing this technique you can transform your hairstyle and hair color while protecting your natural hair. I am an advocate for protecting your natural hair while experimenting with extensions. This blonde pixie quick weave is a great option if you’re looking to turn heads at your next event.

On my YouTube channel I have tons of videos of me creating different looks similar to this. I have a RED Short Style that my subscribers also loved. I will leave one of my hairstyling playlist below to get some more inspiration.
