Disclosure: This is not a sponsored post.

Imagine if you could become your own perfume designer combining your favorite essences to a one-of-a-kind signature scent right into your own bottle. Now imagine doing all of this online. This is exactly what the innovative service startup company UNIQUE is now introducing on Indiegogo.com.
Becoming a perfume designer online

UNIQUE has created a new measure of individuality. The fragrance manufacturer allows customers to become perfumers themselves and to create their own individual perfume or cologne. The startup company has been working for years with experienced perfumers and software engineers to create the progressive online-tool. Designing a unique fragrance works intuitively. First, the customer chooses a fragrance character that best suits his/her personality, e.g. elegant, sporty or charismatic. Based on this, the user can combine up to six essences from a range of more than 50 premium essences such as Rose, Vanilla, Grapefruit or even Musk and Patchouli. Also, the perfume bottle can be fully customized with a name, design or personal picture. More than 150 billion combinations are possible and every piece is handmade by experienced perfume artists.

Why I stand out in the crowd...

 

I am who I am. Always been, and never once thought about apologizing. Why should I HURT because OTHERs can’t see how awesome I really am? I realize people are different. I love and respect everybody until THEY give me a reason NOT to. I don’t care WHO they are, what RACE they are, where they pray, who they love, where they live, what they drive, what they have.. that shit doesn’t matter to me.

What MATTERS to me is whether they are good to ME. Nothing else should matter and I don’t see why it does. Life is way too short for that shit, and I don’t see why people wanna hate. I stand out because I stand UP for what I believe in. I’ve always been the “stand-up for others” kinda girl. I went head-to-head with a 250 lb football player who was trying to bully someone else. Boils my blood, makes me mad as hell, and I CANT NOT say anything.

There’s NEVER been a category for me. There’s never been a “label” for me. I don’t fit into any slot that is out there and I take pride in that. I am unique. I am ME. I’m just a country girl with a rebel soul who loves and breathes rock music. I listen to everything and enjoy ALL music. I listen to ANYTHING that I like, doesn’t matter if it’s country, rap, r+b, pop.. whatever…

I’m tattooed, pierced, and love rock music most. I love fast cars and big V8 motor filled trucks. I love mudding, 4-wheeling, and my 4 dogs. My kids come first, but my dogs ARE listed under the kid category in my book.

I love sewing, crochet, and buying shit. No matter WHAT it is, usually books or something lol. I try to tell myself that I am NOT a hoarder of books, but I think I’m lying lol. I LOVEE to read and write. I’ve been writing my entire life.

But. I’m not a square, category list of what a mama should be. I don’t drive a mini-van or bake cookies all the time. My house isn’t spotless and I could care less about “things”. I REALLY need a damn maid but until I strike a gold-mine,.. lol

I’m a HUGE fan of Fast n Loud (Gas Monkey Garage). I love watching cars being rebuilt- just something about it. I also love a good cold bud light over a martini anyday.

I’ve been with Adam for 10 years—and.. we argue and we disagree at times. There is nobody on earth I would rather have been the dad to my kids. They adore him and he adores them. I am grateful for these gifts in my life ♥

LOVEEE this♥

What makes YOU stand out in the crowd?

Hair How-To: Half-Up Double Knot

Disclosure: This isn’t a sponsored post.

Half-up styles are back in a big way, but it’s already time to take this look to the next level. If you’re sick of the tired top knot or just ready to evolve the look, try this new twist on the effortless hairstyle, straight from the experts at Butterfly Studio Salon.

Ideal for natural texture or 2^nd (even 3^rd!) day hair, it works with any length and texture. A lifesaver for frizzy hair days and so simple to create – not even a brush is needed! !

How-To: Half-Up Double Knot

1. First step: texturizing product/dry shampoo, which is essential for grip and hold when styling. (Kattia Solano, owner of Butterfly Studio loves Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray on the crown area) Lift hair, taking it by sections, spray at the root as if you were teasing and then massage through with your hands to work the product in.

2. Using your hands, section out a “horse shoe” shape of hair at the crown area. Thicker hair can opt for larger section while thinner hair can work with a smaller amount of hair. Rake through with your hands to brush and pull back hair to create a clean section.

3. With a small hair tie in one hand, take a section of hair and pull halfway through the tie, so that you are left with a little “pom-pom.” Wrap elastic around 2-3 times until secure without pulling all of the hair through. (Use small clear elastics so you won’t see the tie, and in case you don't wrap any hair around the knot the ties will be discreet.)

4. Open up the pom-pom with your fingertips for fullness to create a textured knot, then wrap the hair ends around your knot once and tuck hair under the elastic band with ends sticking out. Keep the remaining length right under the pom-pom, as you will use the extra hair length to help with fullness and perfectly messy texture for your next knot.

5. Create your next section right below the first by taking 1 1/2 to 2 inches of hair from the sides (horse shoe of “V” part all the way around the head). Use your hands again to gather and comb the hair back, then combine the hair ends from your first knot with your new section and repeat steps 3 and 4 - tying right under the first pom-pom, tucking through and leaving ends free. If your hair is long enough you can even wrap the extra hair around in a “figure eight” motion around both knots for detail.

6. To finish, spritz a little hairspray and then make it your own. Don't be afraid to muss it up - the more texture the better! To complete the look, Kattia recommends adding some height/volume at the front top of the head by slightly pulling/gently tugging hair up at the root with your fingers.

*With this hairstyle, volume is always at your side to rid limp hair and that unwanted greasy summer look once and for all. Play with positioning and create more knots for a change up or more customization for how you can wear it. You can even use bobby pins to change the knot shapes.

 

Thanks to Butterfly Studio Salon for the awesome tutorial.
