ABOUT

Hi there! We're Erin and Daisy, and we're a mother/daughter duo who love to dish about all things travel and makeup related. We started Sand Sun & Messy Buns as a place to showcase the hairstyles Daisy created for prom and homecoming, but it's evolved into so much more! We enjoy motivating others, sharing our travel adventures, and providing tips to help girls develop more confidence.
Beauty is only skin deep; good character and a kind heart are better than any makeup you can apply. Click To Tweet

 

A Little About Us:

We both love the laid-back vibe of summertime and live for the days when we're sitting on a beach with our toes in the sand and hair up in messy buns. [That's how our site's name came about!]  We're obsessed with Lana Del Rey, Taylor Swift, Friends, Gilmore Girls, freckles, being positive, and spending time with friends and family.
Sand Sun & Messy Buns - about Daisy & Erin

About Daisy:

♡ I'm currently in my sophomore year of college, and I'm passionate about makeup, hair, and designing my own clothes!
♡ I love thrifting and I usually alter items I find so they reflect my personality. My favorite class in high school was AP Fashion Design, and I even made my own prom dress.
♡ I'm also the proud owner of a 4-year-old female veiled chameleon, so you may see her pop up in a post or two.
♡ I'm most active on my YouTube channel (most popular videos listed here), but here are a few helpful posts:
  • The Top 10 Do's & Don'ts for Teen Skin
  • The Best Neutral Eyeshadow Palettes for Beginners
  • Discover What's Hot in 2017 Hair Trends
  • Dance Hair: Messy Bun and Braid Tutorial

LEARN MORE: We took turns interviewing each other, so check out my interview to learn even more about me!

About Erin:

♡ I'm passionate about good skincare, healthy living, and I enjoy traveling as often as possible. I can talk about the beauty of the Lowcountry for days on end.
♡ I spent many years working for a few national publications, so if you're the crafty type and think we look familiar, you may have seen us in the pages (or on the cover) of scrapbook and craft magazines.
♡ Here are a few of my favorite posts:

Throwback pic! ⠀ How many of you own your own Throwback pic! ⠀ How many of you own your own home here in Savannah but rarely travel because you don't like boarding your pets? ⠀ ⠀ The pet-loving community is HUGE worldwide, and there are lots people who A.) love animals and B.) want to see Savannah. ⠀ ⠀ Guess what? They'll happily travel here to take care of your house and your pets while you go off on an adventure -- and they'll do it for FREE. You can skip the expensive boarding fees, and your pets will be happy because they can stay home and get spoiled. It's a win/win😊⠀ ⠀ Got questions? I collaborated with @nomador_com and wrote an entire post about it. Link in bio under "latest posts". ⠀ ⠀ #ad #MyNomadorAdventures⠀

What’s something unique you’ve discovered duri What’s something unique you’ve discovered during your travels? This was a fun find for me. It’s an old-timey “Wate and Fate”!! To use it, drop a quarter in the slot next to the month you were born and the scale will show your current weight, plus a fortune 🔮 I had fun with it and dropped a ton of quarters in just to read the various messages. My favorite one said “More church and fewer nightclubs would help you” 😂😆 (And this is why I love taking the backroads when I travel!)

This tiny house is actually a museum — and one w This tiny house is actually a museum — and one well-worth visiting! The King-Tisdell Cottage is named after its former owners and is chock full of African-American history from the 1800s to present time. It’s located in the Historic District. (Sorry it’s not the best shot since I took it midday - but it’s one of my favorite tiny houses so I had to post it!) Oh, and that’s a horse hitch on the sidewalk beside the gate 😊
Savannah is jam-packed with houses, so that means Savannah is jam-packed with houses, so that means you’ll often find multiple homes on one lot. The larger homes face the streets and the carriage houses and tiny homes face the lanes, aka: back alleyways. Let me tell ya, there are some really cute homes down some of those lanes! 💙💙💙
I feel like dedicating all of my posts this week t I feel like dedicating all of my posts this week to the tiny homes of Savannah. (Cue the cuteness!!) Also, please note that this house has a welcome mat so guests can wipe their feet before entering the backyard. Naturally I’m VERY curious about that🤔🧐 Is this a common thing? Please discuss 😂
I have so many thoughts about this building. Too m I have so many thoughts about this building. Too many to list! For now I’ll just say it’s a shame that it sits empty when it has so much potential. (And someday when I’m all fired up I’ll probably go on a big rant about it 😂) It looks very much like Savannah’s own version of The White House, don’t you think?
