4th of July Girl Style

Once again I apologize for not getting these posted before the holiday.  This one would be cute without the 4th of July accessories.  The ideas for the hair accessories came from my favorite mom site.  The link is http://www.mom-stuff.com/public/301.cfm

The reason I included the picture below is because the part is very important for the braids to lay right. 
The first part is from ear to ear then pull the back hair into a ponytail out of the way.
Then make a diagonal part as shown below.
Start with the part on the right side (looking at the picture above)  The reason for this is the left side is going to overlap the right braid.  French braid from her ear to the center of the part as shown below.
Next french braid the left side all the way up to the center part.  This braid overlaps the first braid.
Below attach the braids together with an elastic.
Then we added the fun 4th of July accessories we made.  http://www.mom-stuff.com/public/301.cfm
The picture below shows all the accessories we made to match.  Her hair accessories, her belt and also her flip flops were taken from http://www.mom-stuff.com/public/301.cfm

4th of July Fun Toddler

I apologize I didn't get these posted before the 4th of July.  Things have been crazy for us this summer.  You can use these for other Holidays such as the 24th if you live in a state that celebrates. 
I didn't do anything really fancy with her hair it was all about the accessories with her. 
I made a zig zag part and then put her hair into pigtails  The hair accessories were secured with the fun sidewinders http://www.hairholders.com/ The sidewinders made the accessories stand up.  I was going for the fire work affect with her hair.
We got the instructions for the hair accessories from http://www.mom-stuff.com/public/301.cfm
   My daughter got so many compliments.  Also the flip flops and belt she is wearing came from the same website.  We are going to try them in different colors because they were so cute.

Jennifer Lopez Decides to Celebrate Birthday in Cyprus


Posted on 02 July 2010 by
Anastasios Papapostolou

According to Turkish media reports, Jennifer Lopez will be paid $3 Million dollars to appear at the opening of the “Cratos” hotel in Northern Cyprus.
The resort, which is located in the Turkey occupied part of the island, will officially open on July 20 and host an exclusive Gala Night on July 24. The Gala Night will have a special series of exclusive events. Jennifer Lopez, her husband Mark Anthony, and their twin children Emme Maribel and ‘Max’ David will attend the event.

A very special birthday party will be organized on the night for Jennifer Lopez who will celebrate her 41st year. Cratos Premium has prepared a birthday party full of surprises for Jennifer Lopez – JLO and special guest artists coming from America.

One of the surprises is the fashion show by Roberto Cavalli. World famous fashion designer Roberto Cavalli will visit Cratos Premium as a guest of Fashion TV and will organize a surprising fashion show for JLO.

Political Turmoil

Political action groups urged Lopez not to visit Turkish-occupied Cyprus and thereby endorse the illegal Turkish-military-invasion and illegal Turkish-military occupation of Cyprus.

The Cyprus Action Network of America (CANA) wrote in a statement that “the Turkish lobby is spending millions of dollars to also ensure that public relations specialists promote her visit and bring in Western reporters. Allegedly, even the “BBC” will be there for Lopez’s illegal visit. It is obvious that the human-rights-abusing Turkish government is using Jennifer Lopez in an attempt to purchase a false “normalcy” and false “legitimacy” for the bandit pseudo-state that is recognized by no-one but Turkey .”

The organization’s letter points out “it is especially pertinent that the Turkish lobby also chose July 20th 2010 as the date of her landing in Turkish-occupied Cyprus, a date that every Greek-Cypriot knows is the 36th year anniversary of Turkey’s illegal military-invasion of Cyprus that killed thousands of Greek-Cypriots, that forcibly displaced hundreds of thousands of Greek-Cypriots from their homeland, and also resulted in the rape of 800 Greek-Cypriot women."

About the hotel: The hotel has 14 meeting rooms and a big ballroom. Beside the hotel's main restaurant, guests can also dine at 14 fine dining and gourmet restaurants within the Cratos Premium. Guests can enjoy their stay at 24 hours open beach club and swim at the blue waters of Mediterranean. Cratos Premium's 1 km long private beach will soon be the trendiest beach in Cyprus.

Jennifer Lopez To Join Taio Cruz For Remix, Music Video


Anthony Jones - AHN Entertainment Reporter

Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) - When two hot superstars collide, the result could be "Dynamite." Taio Cruz and Jennifer Lopez are set to team up for a new music video and remix that's sure to be fire.

It all started when Taio Cruz tweeted and then subsequently removed, "Would you guys prefer a 'Dynamite' video featuring just me or a version with a massive female star duetting?"

If the answer is Jennifer Lopez, then yes. Lopez, who recently killed performances at the World Music Awards and the MTV Movie Awards, became the female star in question, after some dancers leaked out the info that they were cast in a music video for Cruz and his new Island/Def Jam labelmate Lopez.



Choreographers and frequent Lopez collaborators Napoleon and Tabitha, or Nappytabs, also let out that they're set to work on Lopez's new video.

The track is Cruz's single "Dynamite," which is already #3 on iTunes behind Eminem and Katy Perry's latest. Cruz will release a Part 2 of the already chart-busting single featuring Lopez.

"Dynamite" is the latest single from Cruz's album "Rokstarr," which features collaborations with Ludacris and Ke$ha. Lopez is set to release her highly anticipated new album later this year.

Make it or Break it Hair Lauren's Rolls




We are so excited that Make it or Break it is back on.  One because my daughter loves to watch it and two I love Lauren's hairstyles.  She is not very nice, but they always have her hair done really cute.  So after Monday's episode here is our version of her hair.

Below is the top of our finished hairstyle

Below I posted a picture of how I made the first parts.  A far lateral part and then one along the ear lines.  I pulled the rest of the hair into a ponytail to keep it out of my way.
Then I started making a roll along the back part line.  This is similar to braiding but you use 2 strands.  You only pick up from the front as shown below.  Continue rolling all the way to the ear, then secure with an elastic.  Do this to both sides
Below shows the roll farther along so you can see how to make the roll.

Then pull all the hair into a ponytail. 
I did this while her hair was wet so when the ponytail drys then put some ringlets in.
