Happy St. Valentine's Day!

Happy St. Valentine's Day! 

It is the day of love, a time to be creative and share how you feel with the special people in your life. In our home St. Valentine's day is  often celebrated with a nice dinner (sometimes cooked by our dad and brothers) homemade cards and lots of candies. We also love quotes and have a few favourites for you all. Enjoy and spread the quote love! 

"See, I will not forget you. I have written your name on my heart" Jo Packham

"Yet when we came back, late,  from the hyacinth garden, Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not speak, Speak and my eyes failed, I was neither living nor dead, and I knew nothing, looking into the heart of light, the silence." T.S. Elliot.

"Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul." St Augustine

"A friend is someone who knows the song of your heart and can sing it back when you have forgotten the words" Unknown. 

"I have a dream," he said slowly. I persist on dreaming it although it seemed to me that it could never come true. I dream of a home with a hearth-fire in it, a cat and a dog, the footsteps of friends-and you!" 
Gilbert to Anne- L.M. Montgomery. 

"Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do..but how much love we put in that action"
Mother Theresa

"Some people care too much. I think it's called love." A.A. Milne Winnie-the-Pooh

If you are a special girl going out on the town tonight with the one you love and are desperately searching for a new look..say no more Leah's Messy Updo instructions are below. Give yourself time as it does require a bit of practice. 
 

Leah's Messy  Updo

Step 1:Separate hair around an inch from the ears on either side of the head. Twist the hair in your hands, the twist should be around two inches.

 

Step 2:Once you have a twist, push it up and pin in place with bobby pins. Use as many as needed.

Step 3:Visualize the hair in three sections if thick, two if hair is thin. Grab section of hair underneath the first twist. With this new piece of hair, twist once and pin into place. Repeat the above step if you have very thick hair like us. Do not use all the hair.

Step 4:With the hair that is loose, split it in half. Cross the hair on the right over to the left, twist it a couple of times and guide it along the bun you have made and pin in place.

Step 5:With the hair that is on the left side, cross it over to the right and do the same: Twist, Pin and Voila! Finished!
