The Growing Life of Pretty Bowtique

I started Pretty Bowtique as an outlet from the pain at work. I am full time R.N. and it is very demanding and crafting is a relief to distress and let go of the some of the pain I see at work.

I love being a nurse and I can't image doing anything else so Pretty Bowtique helps me be a better nurse.

I am so grateful to everyone who has supported Pretty Bowtique and I  truly appreciate all your love and support.

Outdoors Play Hairdo

Do your littles just love the park and/or playing outdoors?!?!?!

I know mine do and I don't always feel like getting them dressed up and dolled up. I have the perfect outdoors hairdo for all ages - even for us adults.

Messy Bun and a Pretty Bowtique Fabric Headband.....

Just pull the hair as far on top of the head as you can and using a hair tie gather all the hair together into a ponytail.

Before you wrap the hair tie around the hair for one last time don't pull the hair all the way through the hair tie. Let a little bit of the hair hang in the hair tie closest to your scalp.

Once that is complete, fluff for your desired look.

Get your Pretty Bowtique Headband out and with the widest portion at the base of the head wrap the headband around the head and tie into a knot in the front.

And there you have it.........Outdoors Play Hairdo

De-Cluttering and Re- Organizing Your Home

Running a clean and efficient home doesn't mean that you have to spend every waking hour in an apron, clutching a vacuum cleaner in one hand, a mop in the other and a duster between your teeth. There are short cuts to keep it simple. Find the ones that work for you and use them to create a home that makes you happy.

But before you can start your need to clear the clutter. No one can clean a cluttered house. Go back to the ancestors, become a hunter/gatherer - hunt out the dirt and gather up the debris.

Recognize the signs:

     Is this your home?

  •      Vistors are greeted with the words: "Lovely to see you. Excuse the mess."
  •      The hallway is clutter with shoes, bags and debris.
  •      Waste paper bins and the kitchen bin are full to overflowing.
  •      The dining table is so cluttered it can't be used.
  •      All the drawers are so full that they inflate like hot-air balloons when they're opened.
  •      Boxes and bags of hobby equipment fill corners of the hall or lounge.
  •      There are more than 3 garments in your wardrobe that you haven't worn the last two years.
  •      The kitchen worktops are covered with "stuff."
  •      The bathroom looks as though it's had a visit from the local football team.
  •       The beds are covered with discarded clothes/books/magazines.
If you've picked even 3 of these boxes, your home is screaming for help. It's time to de-clutter.

Stay tuned to Pretty Bowtique Lady's Blog on how to de-clutter and re-organize your home
