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.

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.

♡ 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:

♡ 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.
