Perfect Summer Hairstyle: The Waterfall Braid Something about summer always awakens the inner hippie in me: I never want to shave my legs and I always want to wear my hair in braids.

Cult of Pretty - A Cult Beauty Products Blog - StumbleUpon Ugh, what the hizz happened, it’s WINTER you guys. We missed the exit for Fall like 10 degrees ago. Anyway, let’s pretend for a minute that this isn’t happening. Please find visual aid above and olfactory aid below: I really have a thing for coconut-scented anything-for-my-body.
