Hi there! We're Erin and Daisy, and we're a mother/daughter duo who love to dish about all things makeup and travel 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, Riverdale, Friends, Gilmore Girls, freckles, being positive, and spending time with friends and family.
About Daisy:
♡ I'm currently in my sophomore year of college, and I'm passionate about makeup, hair, shopping, 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 2-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, but here are a few of my favorite 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, anti-aging tips, 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:
- The Ultimate Guide to Visiting River Street in Savannah, GA
- Releasing Baby Sea Turtles in Cancun
- How to Get Lean Fast
- Anti-Aging Skincare Tips that Work
- 10 Things to do in Gruene, TX

Saw you wrote for LHJ on exercise, and was wondering if you ever review apps or games developed for machine exercisers? Thanks
Hi Susan! I review apps but I haven’t done any reviews on games developed for machines. I’m always open to new reviews if it’s a product I have experience with or use frequently. You can see an app review here:
