De Wans Special Facial Hair Remover - 1934

"...leaving your skin a thrill to see...a greater thrill to touch!"

The fourth of July

Holy crrrap it's been a busy week! My sister and her cute cute family has come to visit from Oklahoma for the month. That's right, the month! While I looooooooove them being here I forget to do everyday things like ooohh the dishes, and the laundry and oh yeah blogging. So sorry if you don't get too many posts from me for the next few weeks. I'll try hard. It's just only get to see her once a year!

So the fourth of July is sort of a big deal to the Prows family.

We start the day off with a 5K... I have no idea why because really, who ENJOY'S running? NOT ME. But I do it. Every year to pacify the family!

You like the hair?!! Got the idea from I Am Momma Hear Me Roar! It will definitely be in my ebook. Easy peasy!

Brian's on the left, then my brother Ryan, my brother-in-law John and my cute brother Billy

Here are all the gals

Billies cute little family. They ALWAYS have stylin' hair. I'll be raiding their pictures later this month to show you all the amazing hairstyles JaQuoy comes up with for her girls.

We then get breakfast and watch the Kaysville parade. Cute Bosty! He just wanted to play ball with the older boys behind us.

Modeling that same hairstyle only now it's a little jazzed up for night time!

Is this not the cutest family ever?!

We bought Boston a sword and cute little Halle, her face is priceless. Boston's about to wack his other cousin Averie!

Boston LOOOOVED the fireworks! He was all "oooos and aaaaah's". So cute!

This is my sister Mel. The one who lives in OK.

This is my brother Ryan's family. He lives in California. Just graduated from the Standford MBA program. Yeah he's a smarty.

THE HAIRSTYLES
Her hair is chin length. Yes chin length. You asked for short hairstyles didn't you?! It will be in my ebook!

The jazzed up... what should we call it? Double braid?

And the waterfall on my sister Mel

This Butterick pamphlet is from about 1956 and shows standard measurements from that era and some swell outfits "for the hopscotch set"!

in my white tee

for the longest time i've been on the hunt for the perfect short sleeve crew neck t-shirt.
not too thick, not too sheer. not a cap sleeve, or rolled up, or oversized. not boat neck or v neck. not cropped, not long. no pockets, no logos, no embellishments. not heather white, not textured white, not off white or cream. just a plain, white t-shirt.

recently, the olsen sisters started stylemint - a tshirt revolution, where the twins would design and style a new tshirt each month, retailing at $29.99. it's a great deal compared to their tees at The Row, but as i was perusing the site, i still didn't see anything close to the most basic of all basic tshirt i was looking for.

one day, i walked into Target and it dawned on me: THE BOYS SECTION. back in the day, sophia and i used to buy those packs of hanes/fruit of the loom t shirt packs and wore them with our CK jeans. they were cheap and fit so well. so i darted straight to the t shirt shelves and found me a Cherokee shirt (size medium). for $4.99. (right now they're on sale online for $2.48!!!) i tried it on and fell in love.

every girl needs a white t-shirt in her wardrobe. yes, it's simple. simple, and classic. pair it with some washed denim, a maxi skirt, leather leggings, or in my case today -- tucked into silk wide leg trousers, with the sleeves rolled up.
