YouTube Gold

I have been feeling so blah about my hair lately. I like having it long, but I am so sick of ponytails and folded over ponytails all the time. I feel like such a frumpy house wife. In fact I have been feeling like I need a makeover all together. But I don't want to cut my hair, I want to grow it another 6 inches. So last night, I spent several hours watching YouTube video tutorials to get some ideas. It was so fun that before I knew it, it was 2 am and I had to make myself stop. These are too good not to share so I am putting a few of my favorites on here. By the way, if you want to learn how to do anything at all, chances are that there is a tutorial on YouTube. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.

So my first goal was to find some cute up dos that I can do quickly every day that look a little nicer than my bland ponytail look. This one is my very favorite. I LOVE it, and it is so very easy. It is the first one on this video. I was so excited about it that today I went and found some cute clips and headbands to accessorize my new looks.



This is the other favorite cute quick up do that I will probably do a lot. I think I will start with these 2 styles and gradually find more to add in.



I had heard that you can curl your hair with a flat iron, but this really shows exactly how. I tried it and it is so easy and cute. Because it is so hot, it really stays well too. I watched a lot of different hair curling techniques as well, but I really think this is cool. I will be doing this on Sunday for sure.



This lady has some really amazing eye makeup techniques, this is just one of many. I definitely could try some of these out for a change. I don't know if I could spend that much time on eyeshadow though, so maybe for Sundays and date nights.



This is an idea for getting that bronze glow look. I love a little shine on the cheeks. I already use bronzer, but after watching some of these demos, I got a little more brave. I love the Physicians Formula Bronzer. It is the one with vertical strips with different shades and a white highlight at the top. I used more bronzer and completely omitted blush(and I love blush) and it really looks cool. I also use that stuff for eyeshadow, it is the best all around makeup.



So there are a few fun Beauty ideas. After playing with these ideas a bit, I feel like I got a much needed makeover. I have lost the baby weight and I am ready to feel cute again! I love hair and makeup and all things beauty and fashion so this was a fun new discovery for me on YouTube. So do you have any favorite YouTube tutorials? If you find any good ones, please do share!
