Beautiful Braids

I have been quite obsessed with braids as of late. French braids, fishtail braids, Dutch braids, you name it- I’ve braided it, or at least I’ve attempted to! { I am not the most skilled hair styling professional- I’ll admit, I never learned how to French braid, how sad is that!?}  For all of you other braid-challenged folks who’d like a tip or two, check them out here.

Special thanks to SallyJaneVintage.blogspot.com for the images and inspiration! Blissful braiding to all!

Rainbow Cake

Every time I see a rainbow I make a wish…and I like to believe they always come true! But something tells me that the only wish I will need when I make this cake is to not devour the entire thing in one sitting! Get the recipe for this colorful layered cake here.
