Steps to Create Low Messy Buns

    • Add mouse or dry shampoo to roots for lift. (See below for our top recommendations.)
    • Divvy hair into a few large sections, then tease by combing it backwards towards scalp.
    • Tie hair into a low ponytail, then lightly pull a few chunks looser from the crown area to add fluff and volume. (Don't tug too hard to avoid breaking or damaging strands.)
    • Divide the hanging ponytail portion into upper and lower halves. Lightly tease the upper section and fold or twist it under.
    • Use the non-teased lower half of the ponytail to wrap around the base, covering the hair tie. Then use bobby pins to secure everything in place.
  • Lightly tug strands loose for a messier look or use additional bobby pins to secure any loose strands in place for a neater appearance.

TIP: Add decorative clips or flowers to dress up a low messy bun and secure it in place.

Products to Help Master the Messy Bun

  • Frederic Fekkai Full Blown Volume Styling Whip: Use this mousse if you’re creating a bun on clean hair because it will help hair hold its shape better.
  • Herbivore Sea Mist: This is another option we like if you're fortunate enough to have hair so healthy that it slips out of a messy bun. We’ve long been a fan of Herbivore products for their commitment to organic ingredients and their cruelty-free policy. Their lavender-scented mist from Urban Outfitters is a nice option because it smells good and is very lightweight. That means it won’t leave that “crunchy” residue you get from some texturizing products.
  • Batiste Dry Shampoo – Tropical Scent: Use this to create messy buns on 2nd day hair. It helps rid roots of the oily/greasy look and it also provides volume and lift.
If you prefer video tutorials, here's a fun one I created showing a few variations of the messy bun. xo, daisy

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😊⠀

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! 💙💙💙

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 😂

(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?
