It?s gonna be a long, hot summer

Happy Caturday, my darling! I hope you?re having a wonderful morning so far, and I hope you?re feeling refreshed and ready for a fun weekend.
It?s a lovely day here in Northern California. Nothing but blue sky from rolling hills to rolling hills. It looks like it?s gonna be a hot one, too, which is why I have my hair in a Dutch braid.
GURL, I?ve been all about the Dutch braid lately.
It?s basically an inverted French braid, where instead of pulling the hairs over when you braid, you pull them under so the braid kind of pops out, and you can make it, like, all poofy-looking and larger than life if you loosen up the hairs after you tie the end, which has the added benefit of not giving me a throbbing headache like some tightly braided styles can.

I love the whole messy braid trend? I rue the day if/when they go out of style, because this one here took me less than five minutes, and I was able to do it without having to look in a mirror!
WHAT"! Yes.
I also rue the day when big, bushy eyebrows go out of style because it took me forever and a day to grow mine out. I?m sure it?s only a matter of time?
Wow, it?s already getting hot here, and it?s not even 8:30. I guess it?s appropriate that I?m wearing the $45 limited edition NARS Long Hot Summer Eyeshadow Palette.
