Double 4-strand braids

Hi friends,

     I love 4-strand braids, and today I braided my hair in two of them :-)  Several people stopped me throughout the day to compliment my hairstyle, so kind of them.  Thank you for visiting my blog, I hope you have a lovely day!

Double French Braids

Hi friends,

     Today I opted for two French braids, one slightly larger than the other because they were off-centered to add interest.  I looped the ends up once to make my ends look thick and long.  I love this hairstyle, what a fun look for the middle of the week.  Thank you for coming by to see my new pictures!

 

 

Double Dutch Braids

Hi friends,

     Today I braided my hair in double Dutch braids, each one along the very edge of my hairline close to my face.  I left the ends in loops to show a little bit of length.  I love Dutch braids :-)

You can't really see for my hair, but my shirt says "Bonjour Y'all"

Hydrangea Hairstyle at Himeji Castle

Konnichiwa everyone!

     My dear friend from Japan took my sister and me to visit Himeji Castle, one of the most beautiful and well-preserved Japanese castles.  How amazing to see this part of history with my own eyes.  To make the occasion even more special, I wore my favorite blue hydrangea flowers in my hair, to match the flowers blooming outside the castle.  Thank you for coming with me on my adventure!

The walls had windows and openings in a variety of shapes, for arrows in case of intruders

One of the castle lords was a Christian, and place a cross among the tiles along the roof

We took off our shoes and walked through the castle, one floor at a time.  Some rooms were lit with lanterns.

I love the heart designs in the nail cover plates!

Walking where the samurai walked...
