Days That Last Forever

Today marks the beginning of my most favorite time of year. Labor Day being the last "beach holiday" after today the beach is unpopulated. I can walk for miles along the ocean and not see a single person.

From now until Christmas (that's when the snow birds start to come down) I have the beach to myself. 

 

Quite, still and pristine.

My own private seaside sanctuary where time stands still and the days last forever.

  The trickiest part of french braiding your own hair is to figure out a way to hold three strands of hair with just two hands.

First official Braid Day post!

     Braid Day will be a post dedicated to the beauty of the braid.  I learned to braid with 3 jump ropes tied together when I was 5.  “three pieces, only one could be in the middle so each piece takes a turn.”  I soon had the sense memory in my hands.  The rhythmic fluid motion that one gets threw practice.  I practiced on my dolls, myself, my long haired dog and any of my friends that would sit still.
     A little while ago Zorian gave me a book filled with exotic braids.  Some I had seen before and never knew how to do.  I made it my mission to learn and practice each one.  So whether you have short hair, long hair, curly hair or straight stay tuned for hairspiration Braid Day posts dedicated to the beauty of the braid.
