Church Organ Bench!!!!!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!!!!! One of my favorite things that my Hus can do is build and create! He has been working on this beauty for my Birthday (August) for our dining room! I am in love! Our church had a broken organ, that my hus was in charge of disposing! So, obviously we are using the glorious parts! He made the dollhouse for the girls with it too! 

Ever since moving into our home, we wanted a bench at the front window in our dining room! I love how this looks so custom and looks timeless. The cherry wood is so pretty. I love the   of the pedals in the center. My Hus filled in holes this weekend with cherry wood filler. We (Hus) still has to sand it and use a sealer to make it look perfect! I am going to sew cushions on the sides and shop for some pillows! 

I mean------ Gorgeous!

Best gifts are homemade. Farm table and bench…….I am overflowing! My love language- is gifts…… Thanks Hus!

I will keep you posted on the process of finishing up this beauty! What do you think? Do you like?

Happy Lock Love Wednesday! Every Wednesday, I share a hair related post with y'all! Being a hairstylist + a mom, I found myself getting in a hair rut. It is so easy to lose inspiration with your daily styling routine! LLW helps me keep my "head in the game"! This week I am sharing with you some Before + Afters! Who doesn't like to see some transformations? I would love to have you join me below by linking up and showing off your hair! Otherwise, follow me on Instagram @talahairlife #locklovewednesday and #locklovewed

My 14 month old started rocking pig tails this week! YAH!

I got to color my sister, Cara's hair at Tala! She had a faded red (left) to start with. We colored her hair with a rich red/violet! I lightened her ends with two shades of copper/caramel. I love how it turned out! Talk about depth and shine! She is a natural red head (8 copper) so she can pull off any red tone. 

Do you like it?

 This is the gorgeous Mallorie! We lightened her hair (after on right) with a fun tone for fall/winter. I wanted to lift her color without going through a damaging process. It turned out to be a beautiful caramel/gold/copper color! I love it.

Oh Steph! I love doing your hair!!!!! We started out by chopping it 4 to 5 inches and I inverted the perimeter so the front was longer. I gave her copper/red highlights in her fringe, while painting a dark brown all over. She is lookin' good in the hood! 

Danielle (my cousin) is in the process of growing out her hair! She has been apart of some fun hair shows and her hair has seen better days- health wise! So it was so fun to clean up her ends and freshen up her layers! She wanted a natural/low maintenence color/cut. I did a heavy weave foil with two colors! We went with a high lift natural blonde and a golden/warm honey brown! She looks so lovely!

 

 Nothing too crazy- but this is my two GO-TO looks- high bun and air dry the natural wave/then curl in some texture. EASY. 

 I showed this before + after on insta. Humbling and to inspire y'all of what 10 minutes can do. I have sped up my morning routine since being a mom- I feel totally confident in my bare skin, but I really do love getting fancied up! And look at those brows- isn't it crazy how much of a difference filling in the brows does. amen.

Dry Conditioner! Holler

Everyone knows that I love dry shampoo! But, have you tried dry conditioner? WOW!? Why not use both? They step up your "day off" days like mucho! I can't get over how I only wash my hair every 3-4 days now! PRAISE! 

Dry Shampoo is for your mid-shaft to ends. 

Think of it as perfume for your hair. 

It gives it shine and texture. 

It dirties up your hair fabulous.

It is great for curly hair! 

I love the Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Conditioner. 

Here is my hair with the product in. I let my hair air dry! After my hair was dry, I curled a few strands with my flat iron and finished by spraying my hair with dry conditioner. It dirtied up my hair wonderfully and gave it the shine and hold that I was looking for. I don't know about you, but my hair is extra dry in the winter months- aka- frizzy and lots of static going on. Scarfs and jackets don't help things- So dry conditioner will be your saving grace!

What do you think? Have you tried this product before? I sell this slice of heaven at Tala for $20! Let me know if you are interested- I will have a 20% off this week if you mention this post!

Happy Tuesday buddies!

I create

I decided to switch up some art in my home this week. Zion and I had a creative morning and wanted to paint over some old paintings in my living room! 

Original- Mark Rathko wannabe. I painted over it with a cream to start over!

I love how its now more colorful and matches my house! What do you think? I am still working on another piece that I will share with you in the next week!

It's pretty abstract for me, but I am loving it!

What do you think? You like?

Happy Thursday!
