Dear Zack, when we were sitting in the office on our computers on Wednesday night and you asked me out of the blue “You wanna watch Elf tonight?” Yeah. That’s up there in the list of my favorite things you’ve ever asked me. It’s the little things.
Dear $30 ribbon, remember when I spent $30 on ribbon at Michaels? Did I tell you that? Well. I spent $30 on ribbon at Michael’s. That was shocking, let me tell you. I thought the guy was joking at first. But anyway. See that pretty package? Yeah. Totes worth every penny. I mean, I got lace! And, newsflash, lace ain’t cheap.
Dear friends, I filmed my Hair Tutorial video! A few of you have asked me to do one, so here it is! Hope you enjoy! I feel like I’m not too awkward this time? Maybe? Even if I am, please just humor me. It’s not the most natural thing to talk to a camera and all. ;)
{like the thumbnail photo? hehe}
Seriously, if you have any ideas for future videos, I’m all ears! They’re fun. :)

You’re adorable. Love the kitties :) I wish I had long, flowing locks like you!
YOU are adorable.

You are seriously so so cute!! And the fact that you’re wearing your Beauty and the Beast sweatshirt in this video makes me love you even more! Yayay for dirtaayyy hair ;)
Aw you sweet, sweet girl. Love you!!
xo
I love you Christmas card, it’s so cute!
I wish I could go as many days without washing my hair as you! I think I just secrete too many oils because my hair is almost unbearable after 1 day of not washing & I use the same dry shampoo as you! Props to you for not having to stinkin’ wash & dry so much!
Thank you so much, girl!! Aww yeah, I guess everyone’s hair is different.. have you tried just using good ole’ baby powder instead of dry shampoo?? It might work a little better! But of course, make sure to rub it in really good haha. Don’t want white hair! ;)
xo
You are TOO pretty!!!
30 dollars on ribbons, hahaha, wowee
Aw thanks, pretty girl! And, well, I mean… I got A LOT of ribbon, if that makes it any better……… okay, probably not. ha

Love the video. I think my favorite part is you singing Ashlee Simpson. I hope you do more video tutorials in the furture.

OMG I loved that! You are absolutely adorable! And I love hearing Zack in the background. Super cute!
Haha yayyy! Thanks, Katie!! Glad you liked it :)
xo
May I say again how glad I am that you mentioned you don’t wash your hair every day! My hair tends to be so dry, you can’t even tell the difference. I just wish my hair was as long as yours!
Haha YESSS. Solidarity, sister! ;)
xo
You are amazing.
Can you do a tutorial on how exactly you use the dry shampoo and blow dry your hair? I’m hair challenged. I grew up just putting it in a pony, and up until this (school) year, I actually straighten it more often.
And let me tell ya Katie. Not sure if you saw on twitter, but this is my FOURTH DAY of no washing. RECORD FOR ME. However, I worked out today and it was super rainy and yucky so now I have to wash it. Bummer.
Anyhow. So I used the dry shampoo and it helped… but it was still a bit oily. Not sure what I’m doing wrong :(
Haha “longest comment ever.” ;) YES, I will def do a little dry shampoo tutorial!! I just have to figure out how… haha And girl, you know I am SO PROUD of your no-washing-ness!
xo
First off, I absolutely LOVE that you are wearing a beauty and the beast sweater! Second, you always have fabulous hair. Great tutorial girl ;)
xo TJ
Aww you’re so sweet!! Thank you :)
xo
great tutorial!! I totally agree – I usually go at least 2 days without washing,but that’s really all I can handle. Thanks for the awesome tips! you are adorable :)
Aw you’re so nice! Thank youuuu- I’m glad I wasn’t too awkward or anything haha
xo
SUCH cute Christmas cards! They turned out great!
Aw thanks, girlfriend!!
xo
Love your Christmas card!!!
You guys are too cute :)
You’re sweet!! Thanks!
xo
cute video – I think the outtakes are my favorite. love, love, love suave dry shampoo. it is my go to.
Haha outtakes are always my fave! ;)
xo
Love love loooove your christmas card!
That’s pretty much how I do my hair everyday too! Except without the teasing cus my hair breaks easily haha
Aw thank youuuuu!! :)
xo
Really cute christmas card! I love the lace and the calligraphy…haha.

Jeans and a Teacup
Aw thanks Jessica!! :)

your christmas card is so cute! I can’t (well i can but still) the ribbon was $30. Michaels can really get out of hand sometimes!
Haha to my defense, I got A LOT of ribbon. Plus, I also bought a few other things, but yes. Mostly ribbon.
xo
LOVE that you wore your Beauty and the Beast sweatshirt for this video! haha aaaand YAY video!! Love it. Except 3-5 days between washings?! You are clearly one of God’s chosen. My hair requires daily washing unless I want to look like a homeless person with greasy locks. Booo!!! and your christmas card is BEYOND adorbs!! Heart you!!
Aw girl, I love YOU!!! Seriously, you’re too sweet to me! Yes, God’s chosen, that MUST be it… ;) And you could never look like a homeless person. Ever. Not possible.
xo
You are the cutest thing!! I love your tutorial video, you def have to do more of those :) I am loving your Christmas card too, it is adorable! I have to be honest with you, I tried to attempt your look before I even saw this post but it didn’t turn out so well because by the time I actually took pics my hair was all flat. I am a part your hair in the middle person myself, but tried the side part this weekend. You can see my fail attempts on my “weekend happenings post” :) Be prepared to laugh at my flat “Katie hair” attempt! I will def have to do another but will make you proud next time ;) lol!
xoxo,
Shio
OMG You are too sweet! Your comment totally made me smile! I saw your photo, and I think you look great with the “Katie hair” side part haha! And girl, you pull off the middle part PERFECTLY. I wish I could, but I just really don’t like how I look with it! It definitely suits you, though, pretty!!!
You are ADORABLE, like always! :) LOVE your Christmas card!!
xo
Aw you’re sweet! Thanks, girlfriend!!
xo
You are too cute!! I use that Suave too and LOVE it.
But really you had me at hello when you started singing Ashlee Simpson at the end. Love. her.
Thanks, Sarah!! Hahaha I’m glad you liked my serenading! ;)

Your Christmas card is gosh darn cute. stop it. Love the hair tutorial! I actually have found that baby powder works really well as a dry shampoo. You just have to make sure you get it all well combed in or your hair will be white and that is just weird. but otherwise I have to wash my hair a lot. It gets too oily and just ick. I kind of wish I could steal your hair. It is perfect. Not to be creepy or anything. Just speaking the truth.
Also, love the Ashlee Simpson song at the end in your little bloopers section.
YES, baby powder is the bomb diggity. Also, steal away, it is a rat’s nest right now!
xo
Your video is not playing anymore.
It’s working fine for me! Maybe try to reload? :)
xo
I found your blog on Pinterest and have been keeping up with ya! But I had to do a quick search for a hair tutorial from you cause your hair is always so stinkin’ cute! I am not blessed with thick hair, but mine is ridiculously long and I also only wash every 3-5 days (my friends think I’m crazy ;) I’m expecting baby #2 and also have a 16 month old girl, so I love reading up on your mommy stuff!
Aww Arianna! You are so sweet! :) Your comment made my day. Thank you so much for reading my blog!! And congrats on baby #2!!! That is so exciting! <3
