Buns Buns Buns
I've been growing my hair out for about a year. Actually, that really means I haven't gone to the hair salon in that amount of time. I seriously need to get there ASAP.
Funny how that happens. Before kids, I went to get a cut and highlights every three or so months. After having kids, a salon trip every few weeks is a comical idea.
In the mean time, it's becoming such a chore to style hair that's way past my shoulders.
To go from wet, shower hair to looking acceptable, is taking for-ev-er.
The ends need to be cut so it takes quite a bit of heat styling to make them look smooth.
Since it's summer, I've just been pulling it into a pony tail. It's fine but looks very much like one of those moms in desperate need of a makeover on the Today Show.
I found this bun tool and thought it was worth a try.
Given that it was only a few dollars, I didn't have high hopes for it to hold all day.
I was wrong.
SO WRONG.
This this has become my favorite hair tool in my 20+ years of styling my hair. Seriously. It's like a dream. I am done in literally 30 seconds and my hair looks like I spent time actually concerned about my appearance.
A huge bonus for me is it actually stays in all day. After it's in, I don't even have to touch it until I take it out. No touch ups. And, when I do take it out, my hair is full and wavy from being rolled inside.
They sell them for blondes or brunettes and also have a size for girls.
Here's how simple:

I can't believe I never knew about this before!

Brownie Accessories
This brownie habit just got worse when I found the recipe for the best fudgy brownies I've ever tasted. Sometimes I even frost them with Martha's super shiny frosting.
So, this afternoon, I checked out all-things brownie on amazon. I've always baked them the old fashioned way...in a glass 9x12 dish. Nothing fancy. Who knew there were so many options for baking brownies?
Brownie Baking:
You may have seen these before. I'm enticed by the chewy edges and I'm really wanting to try this pan, given it's 5 star status on Amazon.
Chewy Brownie Pan
Chewy Brownie Pan
It apparently bakes each brownie in a separate divider, creating evenly cooked and perfectly cut brownies.
Wilton Brownie Squares Baking Mold
Wilton Brownie Squares Baking Mold
This is a great idea for making brownie pops or covering brownies in chocolate. This reminds me of the brownie bites at The Melting Pot.
I had no idea they made brownie lifters. I'm sure a fork or other utensil would work fine. This just looks all fancy and brownie-ready.
This is a quick and easy-to-use brownie baker. I like that I can make brownies in the summer without heating my kitchen.
Brownie Bite Maker
It can crank out 7 mini brownie bites in 5-8 minutes!
Brownie Bar Maker
If you need a little more substance than a small brownie bite, here's what you need! A full brownie bar is more my speed.
Storing and Gifting:
Wilton Brownie Treat Box
It comes with the inserts and a sticker sheet.
Brownie Liners
Just place on a cookie sheet and fill with brownie batter. The paper peels away like a cupcake liner. Or, use to hold already cut brownies.
Brownie Heart Cutters
Perfect for Valentine's Day treats. The two hearts interlock into one large square to reduce brownie waste. (Is there such a thing as brownie waste?)
Brownie Heart Plunger
This sounds like something you'd find in an OR. Nonetheless, it's a heart-shaped cutter if you're ok with brownie waste :)
Cookies and Cream Brownie Crunch
Brownie-flavored brownie topping.
Brownies Everywhere:
Essie's "Brownie Points" Nail Polish
Brownie Cologne
To smell like rich, chocolatey brownies. This cracks me up.
