All Ohio Balloon Fest- Marysville, OH

All Ohio Balloon Fest 2015

My husband and I recently went to the All Ohio Balloon Fest with some friends in Marysville, OH. It was a lot of fun. They had all kinds of food vendors and businesses that set up booths on the Union County Airport grounds. It was a little toasty outside, but we enjoyed ourselves!

They had some incredible skydivers that were flying through the air with streamers and American flags. The stage was for different musicians performing throughout the festival. LeAnn Rimes was actually there performing a few days before we went.

We enjoyed gyros from Greek Islands Gyros.

There was a vendor there with animals you could adopt. I was super fascinated with the cute sugar bears this woman was pulling out of her pockets. She had two in one pocket and a baby that was recently born in her other pocket. Of course I had a ton of questions for her. The sugar bears were so soft, I could of pet one all day. They apparently are great pets and I wanted to take one home.

They offered balloon rides, sky jumping, biplane rides, and helicopter rides. We didn’t do any of the rides. The day was a fun adventure for us and it was great to be outside enjoying the beautiful shapes of the balloons in the sky!

DIY Creaseless Hair Ties

DIY Creaseless Hair Ties

I love creaseless hair ties and I haven’t found anyone who doesn’t love them. I think they are the cat’s meow! They are fantastic to use in your hair, but they also look super cute on your wrist when your not using them. Do you ever go into an expensive store, see them and think “Hey I could totally make these myself”? Here is a DIY to show you how to make your own fabulous hair ties in any awesome pattern you can find.

DIY Creaseless Hair Ties

Supplies you will need:

1) Lighter
2) Scissors
3) Measuring Tape
4) Elastic 3/5 inch, you can also use 3/8 inch (70% nylon, 30% spandex: I bought my from Hobby Lobby, they have all kinds of different designs, check you local craft stores or online for more patterns/colors)

DIY Creaseless Hair Ties

Measure your elastic

DIY Creaseless Hair Ties

Cut elastic at 9.5 inches. Experiment with making it larger or smaller so that it fits your wrist or hair just the way you like it.

After cutting elastic, fold in half and line the edges up together.

Tie elastic in a knot.

DIY Creaseless Hair Ties

Tighten the knot, make sure it is towards the end of the band to create a small tail.

DIY Creaseless Hair Ties

Hold the elastic band in your hand and light the lighter. Hold the flame near the ends of the elastic to create a seal. You will see it seal once the flame is close. Don’t get to close, it could catch on fire.

Now you finished and ready to start rocking your awesome hair ties!

Fashion Friday- Work shirt and Leopard Cover

Happy FriYAY! Enjoy some fashion inspiration for your weekend adventures. As fall is approaching faster, I love all the colors it brings out in my wardrobe. Pairing summer items with fall pieces is always a favorite of mine. It might have to do with the warm days, cooler nights and tan skin that we have left from the long summer days at the beach or lake.
