Have a Happy Holiday! Updates and Our Wedding Website Information for Family and Friends.

This has been a very busy last few weeks for Justin and I, between building Christmas gifts, work, and hunting season for Justin.  I did, however, get some things accomplished. I started to design the invitations, made our wedding website, and made some prototypes for our twig bubbles. I will post some more tutorials when things calm down a bit.

For friends and family, this is the link to our website.
 www.weddingwire.com/BrittanyandJustinWedding
We will be updating it as we get closer to the wedding and know more detailed information. You can find information about the location, directions, find the link to the app we are using for sharing your favorite photos of us on our special day, request songs for the DJ to play, and soon we will have detailed information about attire, timing etc. So please keep checking back for updates. If you have any questions feel free to ask them on here or email me.

In the meanwhile, here is a preview of the twig bubbles. There are some imperfections in them that need to be fixed, but I am already pretty happy with them. How many of you would have guessed these are bubbles? :)




Also, the pictures on our site should start to improve! My mom and step dad bought me a camera for Christmas. I can now get better pictures of our projects. The above pictures are from my new camera, it will take some getting used to, but they are already better than the iPhone pictures we have been posting.

Have a happy and safe holiday everyone! Thanks for taking the time to read our blog. Again, I am hoping to get another tutorial on here soon.

How I Use Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, and Rosemary Oil to Help With Hairloss, Dry Scalp, and Damaged Hair.

This post is about a mixture I have been using on my hair for the last few weeks. Coconut Oil, Caster Oil, and Rosemary Oil. This may seem like a random post to put on this DIY Wedding Blog. However, I have been terrified for months about having to get a wig to wear to the wedding. I am sure there are other brides and women out there that suffer from the same issue. I have a thyroid condition that makes my hair fall out to the point that every time I would wash my hair, I would clog the shower drain. Stress also does not help the situation with my hair loss. The vacuum cleaner at work and home is nothing but my hair when I run it, and every time I run my fingers through my hair, some falls out. I also suffer from either a dermatitis or psoriasis on my scalp. It is very itchy and very embarrassing. I tried several different prescription products and shampoos to help with the dry scalp, they either didn't work or were temporary fixes. This mixture is the first thing I have tried that has helped this much. I found information about these oils online while desperately searching for something to help with my hair loss.
