{Video Post} Cakes and Bangs
Hi friends–Major apologies for the blog down time this morning. The entire Dreamhost site was down, along with this little blog and many of my friends’ blogs. Blah to that. Looks like everything is back in action, though!
As agitated as I was, there was absolutely nada I could do about it, so I made pancakes 🙂
Used this new-to-me pancake mix for the depths of the pantry:
Usually I’m apprehensive about gluten-free mixes… sometimes they come out super chewy, chalky, or gaggable.
I said a Hail Mary and decided to go for it:
1/4 C mix (1 serving)
1 egg white
almond milk
vanilla
When I cooked up the cakes, I was pleasantly surprised.
They got a little brown on the outside, but the inside was fluffy, foodgasmic city.
Like REAL pancakes 😀
Baller.
So last week, I did a little twisty thing with my bangs since they were getting too long,
and received quite a few comments and emails asking how I did it.
It really ain’t no thang, so I made a little video to explain.
Twisty Bang Hair Tutorial
A pretty way to get your bangs out of your face 😀
(Side note: I almost didn’t post this video because of my nose –I’m super self conscious about it and this angle didn’t work in my favor- but in hopes of trying to embrace the honker, I decided to go for it.)
I’m off on an adventure with the Madre. See ya this afternoon!
xoxo
Gina

This was my go-to when I was growing my bangs out! I love the “That’s what she said” comment!!
Honey, you are gorgeous! Own it!
yay thank you for that amazing tutorial gorgeous! that was really helpful, Ima be rockin that braid all the time now 😉
tu eres muy bonita 🙂
Thanks for posting a fun new hairstyle to try out!
You are gorgeous, Gina; I think everyone can agree on that 🙂 It’s so funny how we can all be so self-conscious about certain things that other people either don’t notice or maybe even wish for themselves. Congrats to you for taking steps to embrace all of yourself. 🙂
I almost didn’t post a side pic of me showing of my green hair ribbon two days ago, cause I’m not a fan of the side view of my nose. But I try to tell myself it is Gisele-esque 🙂 You look beautiful 😀
Ive been trying to figure out how to do that for a while! Thanks for the vid–super informative 🙂
Whats that stuff next to the pancakes?
egg whites 🙂
ahh I was gonna guess some delish chevre cheese — glad you’re back up!
You are super gorgeous just the way you are!! My mom always tells me I have my dad’s nose (his nose has been broken 7 times!!!) which is not a compliment! But I embrace it 😉
Mine is so not as cool looking as yours. It goes straight back instead of slightly diagonal!? Have to keep practicing.
Your nose is lovely as are you! Honestly, after I read that line I had to re-start your video, because I had no idea what you’re talking about.
Girl, you are craaaaaaaaazy! There is NOTHING wrong with your nose. You are beautiful!!!!!!!! 🙂
Cute! I’ll have to give that a try sometime with my hair 🙂
I used to be super self conscious about my nose as well – I have what you could mildly term a ‘Roman nose’. haha, once a friend’s brother asked me when I broke it (never have!). It took me until college to embrace it.
Your nose is lovely – play it up!
You look beautiful! And I love the twist! Thanks for sharing the tip!
Lovin’ the bangs girlie!
girl, I noticed your nose but I thought to myself, “dang she has such a cute nose!” 🙂 also those pancakes look scrumscious! i made some yesterday and they did not turn out as perfectly as yours did!
Thanks for the video. I bought some little clips that I’ve been using for my long side bangs but this will be a cute change up from that. PS – I didn’t even look at your nose because I was checking out your big GUN (aka your bicep) 🙂
Awesome…thanks for the tip! I have long side bangs like you used to have so this will be perfect…especially since it is starting to get hot in Texas! 🙂
Thanks for the little tutorial! I used to braid my bangs and pin them back, but I never knew how to do the twist thing. So easy!!
I use Pamela’s baking mixes. I love them, and they are not chalky at all!! When I make pancakes with the mix, my husband says that they actually taste like the real thing. That means a lot coming from him!
Thanks for the video! I can’t wait to try it!
Also, your arms look so toned and amazing in that video!
I am going to try my hair like that in the summer. There’s no tank top and shorts weather in Oregon yet. I tried my hair like that last summer, but I didn’t know what I was doing and did a little french braid, and it wasn’t as cute.
Please fall in love with your nose! It is totally pretty.
I appreciate the bang video. Will def make my life a little easier. You look fabulously you
That’s such a neat way to play up your bangs! Your nose is just fine the way it is, by the way. Every flaw we have makes us unique!
I made an awesome breakfast this morning inspired by pizookies! I’ll be posting it later if you want to check it out.
Girl you look great from any angle. I voted for your friends- for some reason I thought it said cracker barrel wedding!
So glad your blog is back up and running again! Thank you for sharing the how-to video. I’ve braided the front of my hair but never thought of twisting it like that. It’s so cute!!! I’ll have to give it a whirl. Honestly, I don’t see any flaws with your nose. You are such a beautiful girl!!!
so pretty (YOU and the twist)!
Your nose looks completely normal to me. My sister has always been self-conscious about hers after breaking it three times. She got rhinoplasty and she’s still self conscious, really. You’re so pretty – don’t change a think!
i love doing that with my hair! 🙂 your hair is so gorgeous and thick – my super thin hair doesn’t ever come out that nicely!
super self conscious about what?! You’re gorgeous! Thanks for sharing, I’m hair stupid, you made this look real easy and it looks really pretty!!!
hey Gina, just want to let you know that I love your nose! I am Chinese and have a flat nose bridge, so no glasses ever stay on me! you’re lovely!
You’re so cute! Loved the video, girly! 🙂
super cute video, your gorgeous!
You are stunning. Your nose is what makes YOU…well…YOU! And we all love you for it. We love you just as you are, Gina! [:
Eeeeek, you are so so so adorable! Stunning, too, but your personality was just too cute in this one.
I am just hoping that my bangs are long enough so that I can give this a go!
yay ! i’ll have to try this cute hairstyle sometime. thanks !
and…i didn’t notice a THING wrong with your nose, so i don’t even know why you mentioned it 😀 <3
LOVE the video! my bangs are so long and in my face and i tend to french braid them all the time, the twist looks like a new FUN way to get them out of my face, thanks for the idea!!
Girlfriend, you are gorgeous!!! I’m gonna try the bang twist tomorrow, I’m glad you shared the vid even tho you were self conscious.
LOL! That’s what she said!!!
And pfffft! on the nose comment, you’re beautiful silly.
LOL that’s funny…I didn’t read the “side-note” under your video until after I watched it.
When I was watching the video, one of the first things that popped into my head was “I REALLY like her nose. It’s pretty…”
Not even kidding. I wouldn’t even have thought it would be something you’re self conscious about! You shouldn’t be! 😉
thanks for posting the video! ps- no need to feed self-conscious about your nose 🙂 you are a beauty! hugs!
I would just like to say that I said TWSS at the exact same time.
hahah! awesome
thanks for showing us how to do that!! cuute!
I said “that’s what she said” at the exact same time you did, lol! Great minds think alike.
p.s. your arms are amazing! I really need to start working out more…
Cute hair do! I’ve done the french brain alternative, I’m gonna have to give this twist a try!
I actually have a buckwheat pancake mix by that brand that I forgot I had! I’ll have to dig it out of my pantry and try it!
You have nothing to be self conscious about girl. You’re gorgeous! 😀
You’re absolutely gorgeous with a rocking body… There’s no reason for you to ever be self-conscious!
When I worked as a bank teller, a customer once told me out of the blue “I’m really lucky I don’t have a nose like you.” It was something I had never been concerned about, but immediately caused me to run to the bathroom to examine it. We’ve all got insecurities! 🙂
I had people say horrible things to me when I was a bank teller too! What’s up with that?!
Great video Gina!! I’m going to try this tomorrow after the gym!
I love the twisty thing. Thank you! I canoot wait to try it. And BTW – Your “guns” were blazing in that video. Maybe you should make a video on how to get those great arms!!!
