4th of July Firework

I apologize I didn't get this up for the 4th of July things have been busy as most of you experience too!

The state we live in celebrates the 24th of July much like the 4th of July which I forget that other states don't celebrate.  

This style was so simple and she turned out to be the most patriotic hair around our town.

All I did was make a poof then put her hair into pigtails (since she doesn't have much hair this was the easiest)

I went to our local dollar store and found a patriotic paper weight that had the strings below 

and stars attached to a metal wire wrapped in red white and blue. 

I folded the long strands of red white and blue over so they weren't so long and secured them with an elastic.

Right before we went out for the night we wrapped bracelet glow sticks in between each pigtail.  Since the bracelets were much heavier than her hair we added a 3 on across the top of her head.

Rolls to Side Ponytail

This is a quick and simple style. 

Start with a small roll.  Rolling her bangs back but leave a couple small amounts of hair around her face (these will be curled in ringlets)

Then roll all the hair starting on the opposite side.  Roll the hair into a side ponytail. 

Secure all the hair on the side with an elastic.

I then put ringlets in the hair around her face and the ponytail along with wrapping the ponytail with her own hair.

Vegan Brownies!

The best brownies I have ever had! And they are Vegan!!

Here is the original recipe. 

250 g or 2 cups  - unbleached all-purpose flour

• 400 g or 2 cups - white sugar
• 65 g or 3/4 cup - unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 Teaspoon -  baking powder
• 1 Teaspoon - salt
• 235 ml or 1 cup water
• 235 ml or 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
• 
  

• I change it slight by changing the water to half water/half soya milk and half the vegetable oil  because that is a lot of oil!! 

  Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Pour in water, vegetable oil and vanilla; mix until well blended. I use an electric mixer so they were really smooth.
  3. Spread evenly in a 9x13 inch baking pan. (I lined my tray with grease proof paper)
  4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is no longer shiny. (Keep a check on them, Vegan brownies I better soft) 
  5. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Unless you like them falling apart and crumbling like I do!
  
  
  I am rubbish at making brownies usually but these were so easy and turned out to be the best brownies I have ever made! (Said my dad!)
