how to get "beachy waves" the hard way

Step 1: Take a shower and wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner.

Step 2: Leave your hair down and go on a six mile bike ride that is actually twenty miles because someone apparently can't read a map. Don't wear a helmet because "we'll just be on the beach path the whole time and not in traffic" (also another lie).

Step 3. Beach Waves!


Step 4 (optional): Drink bottomless mimosas and try to forget the whole experience. Also, stuff your face because when you were riding your bike to brunch and accidentally burned a million calories instead of only half a million, you might be hungry.

Step 5: Apologize to your husband for being a hangry bitch because it was actually really pretty and sunny outside and if you had known ahead of time what you were getting yourself into, you might not have complained so much. Or you would have at least worn different pants besides jeans.

Happy Monday!

*I just realized that since I said Happy Monday people are going to think this happened today. I assumed it would be obvious since I was wearing a green shirt that it happened yesterday, on St. Patrick's Day. But I am obviously very tired and hungover because that assumption makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

  1. Lol...Happy Monday to you too. Your hair does look naturally beachy, and gorgeous. I'm sorry it was so hard to get it, even if unintentionally.

    1. Thanks Xae! I almost ALWAYS wear my hair up, so I was glad that it at least looked good for once the day I happened to wear it down!

  2. Hahaha. Your hair is beautiful. If my hair looked like that I would wear it down all the time and also flip my hair around so people would notice it and bow down.
    I know what I would do on a 20 mile bike ride...collapse! (But I'd do that on a 6 mile bike ride, too.)
    Good for you for making it!! --Lisa

  4. It would have all been in vain for me because I'd have to lay down the rest of the day and no one would see my gorgeousness!

  5. your hair looks beautiful! i always joke that the more effort i put into my hair the worse it looks - it's always at its best and beachiest when it's dirty, tangled, and totally unkempt :)

  6. If my husband tricked me into a 20-mile bike ride, HE would be apologizing to ME until the end of time.

    However, I would have proceeded to get so drunk on mimosas that he would have to call me a cab to get home.

    I hope you did the same.

    1. Hahahha good point!!

      Oh yes. I told him the only way we were coming home was in a cab, regardless of alcohol consumption. But we definitely needed it for that reason also.
