To find the right match, you should assess hair color in natural light, focusing on the mid-lengths to ends where extensions will blend. Cool undertones pair well with ash or beige shades while warm undertones look best with golden or honey tones. Neutral undertones can work with a wider range but still benefit from subtle tonal alignment. Blending techniques, such as layering multi-tonal extensions or…

The Thrifty Six are Unbuttoned
It was my turn to choose our thrifty theme and I settled on Unbuttoned. Because the word has various meanings and is subject to interpretation, I thought it would be an interesting sartorial prompt for this budget friendly group. According to Merriam-Webster, unbuttoned can mean simply that something with buttons is “not buttoned” but it can also mean that there were no buttons to begin with. A third definition of the word unbuttoned is “not under constraint : free and unrestricted in action and expression” which really relates to my style aesthetic as well as that of most fashion forward people. Unrestricted expression is at the heart of how I dress, how…

Vintage Gossip Bench Makeover & Spread The Kindness Link Up On the Edge #768
This is a story about a vintage gossip bench, also called a telephone table, that was forcibly given to me against my will.

It sat in its original form in her shed until last summer when I visited and she insisted that I take the chair home with me. I argued that I did not have space in my car or my home for another piece of old furniture but she still managed to jam the thing into the back of my vehicle anyway. I couldn’t find any markings on…
