Hairstyles for Helmets....or Everyday, Low Updo Styles! (With The Barn Bum Blog)

Hello everyone!
I am so excited to announce our new tutorial mini series, Helmet Hairstyles (which also double as low updos for anyone and everyone)!
As you may or may not know, Hope is an avid horseback rider. She loves, and I mean loves, horses and enjoys riding any chance she gets. Since she wears helmets-and strongly agrees with wearing them, especially after her accident this year- Hope was the one who originally thought of this idea. She has a separate blog apart from this one, The Barn Bum Blog, in fact, and she originally hoped to post a few ideas of hairstyles for wearing under helmets on her site. But it was inevitable.....Jenna and I began helping, and it soon became a project for both Crafty Chicks Ink. and The Barn Bum.
Plus, it was about time we posted another hair tutorial, right?
Now, I know these styles are specifically designed with horseback riders in mind, but they're also a great fit for everyday hair and everyday people, who don't normally have to wear helmets. Of course, you can use these tutorials for horseback riding, for biking, or for just everyday activities- whatever it is that you might find these suitable for.
So, here's how it will (hopefully) work. Fortunately, as we were all together today, we were able to create the 6 hairstyles in just a few minutes hours. ;) We have posted the pics of them in the above graphic, but you'll find even more detailed and video instructions later on each of the specific designs. We'll hopefully be able to post them one at a time throughout this week, and if not (you know how life gets!) we'll post them all on one day, which should still be fine. But I'm looking forward to sharing these tutorials with you...so hopefully, it won't take to long to get these loaded up! I don't want to leave any cliffhangers about these, but I apologize if we don't get around to posting them exactly on time. We will make it up, for sure!
I really hope that anyone who sees this will find it helpful, creative, and original. Jenna was the one who came up with the styles (she's probably our residential hair girl!), so she deserves the true credit!  Most of these were just made up by her, and we did not mean to copy or re post anything that someone else had already come up with and deserves the credit for. One of the hair tutorials was partially an idea she found on Pinterest, which she mentions in the video, but she changed it up and made it her own. So please know that we had no intention of reproducing something that wasn't ours. Jenna didn't, either! Hopefully, though, most of these ideas are original.
Sorry about that. Just had to clear things up! ;)
So, yes, we will hopefully post these very soon. Please check back and leave any comments, questions, or concerns. We love feedback!
Thanks so much!
Blessings,
Janae

New Year, New Blog Design!

Hello everyone! We hope you all enjoyed Christmas and had a wonderful New Year's Eve. It's always very exciting to start fresh with a new year- 2013 is no exception! We wish everyone a blessed year full of love, laughter, of course....creativity!
We certainly had a great time with our families and got lots of inspiration for future crafts, recipes, projects, and more. With a little bit of extra time on our hands during our holiday break, we also got some chances to work on the blog. Fortunately, we happened upon an adorable blog design from The Cutest Blog on the Block (a.k.a.: www.thecutestblogontheblock.com), and thought it would be a great fit for our new design. Cute, right? :)
With that being said, feel free to take a look around the new and improved blog. (And leave comments, too!) We hope to post some more ideas soon, so.....stick around!
Blessings,
The Crafty Chicks ;)
