How To Do a Unicorn Braid


I've just recently got into playing with my hair more often...braids seem to be my go to thing. Lately I've been learning how to do different types and thought it would be fun to share a few of them with you. This week, I'm starting out with something super easy...the Unicorn Braid (or as some people like to call the Rope Braid...but unicorn is so much more fun). This literally takes no more than a minute and is perfect for those days when you don't have time to fuss with your hair but want to look cute.

Here's How to do a Unicorn Braid.


1. I like to start with my hair straightend but that's up to you.
2. Make your part, I like to do mine to the side.
3. Pull all of your hair to one side.
4. Separate into 2 strands.

5. Twist one of your strands counter-clock wise.
6. Twist the other counter-clock wise as well. I usually just use my mouth to hold the 1st strand.
7. Start your braid by twisting the strands clock wise.
8. Twist all the way down, make as tight or lose as you want. Tie with a rubber band. 


All done, so easy right? And it seriously takes no more than a minute.

I hope you enjoyed this. Next week I'm going to share the 5 strand braid so be sure to check that out.

Dunk Margarita


As I've mentioned last week was pretty stressful and by the time the weekend came all I really wanted was a drink.  Chris said he had the perfect thing for me.  Before I knew it we were at the store buying everything we needed to make a dunk margarita.  Have any of you ever had one before?? It was my first time and after watching Chris make the first one, making them for the rest of the night was a breeze.  Now I normally don't like Dos Equis to drink as beer alone but mixed with the margarita it was perfection.  

All you need is 
1. Cazadores Reposado Tequila
2. Triple Sec
3. Simple Syrup
4. Dos Equis
5. Lemon
6. Lime
7. Orange

Tools
1. Squeezer
2. Jigger (to measure "parts" of ingredients)
3. Shaker

How To

1. Start off by squeezing a lemon and measure 1/2 part in the jigger...add this to your shaker
2. Repeat for limes and oranges
3. Measure 1 part of Simple Syrup and added to shaker
4. Measure 1/2 part of triple sec and added to shaker
5. Measure 1 1/2 parts of tequila and added to shaker
6. Shake everything together
7. Pour into margarita glass over ice and add a Dos Equis :)
