Lately I’ve been feeling kind of…dumpy. It seems like my hair is in a ponytail 6 days a week and I’ve worn sweatpants all day more often than I care to admit. It got so bad that last Friday I painted my fingernails, which may not seem like a big deal to most of you, but I rarely do it and probably haven’t at all since we had kids!

Thankfully, the fashion and beauty inspiration on Pinterest abounds, and while there are plenty of breathtakingly beautiful outfits and hairstyles that aren’t really realistic for a busy homeschooling, working mom, there are plenty that are attainable even for me.

My favorite new hairstyle is these overnight no-heat curls (#9). A couple of weeks ago, I shared this picture on Facebook of me at the end of a long, busy day to show what a simple but fun hair style these curls are for busy days, and a couple people asked if I could share more easy hairstyles for moms.

I love browsing Etsy. There are so many incredibly talented people making beautiful, unique things, and Etsy is like the ultimate art gallery bringing them all together in one place. Even though I’m not artistic at all myself, I always walk away from the computer feeling inspired!

The wearable planters (#6) are the most creative thing I’ve ever seen. Definitely unique and a little bit funky in a green kind of way! I apparently also have a thing for bright colors and silver, and I pretty much love anything burlap (#9) ever since Myra from My Blessed Life introduced me to the medium last fall!
