Still here.....{a catch up post}
One of our closest family friends (and Nicole's best friend) got married on June 22nd!! It was a very fun weekend for our family since we were actually all present!!
We both went to the bridesmaids luncheon, and Mom maid everyone monogrammed button ups to wear during the "getting ready" process. They turned out great! And, we had fun doing everyone's hair....
Here are a few (and I mean a few bc we didn't remember to take many) pictures from the reception....
....this is a rare moment to have all three Fontenot siblings together and ready for a picture!
The wedding was beautiful and definitely a fun night for the entire family. The reception was next door to the Methodist church in Hollandale at the Clarke's home.
It occurred to us, that if we share EVERYTHING we have done over the past couple of months that could get a little lengthy. So here are some of the photos from each of us.....

side note: We couldn't be happier that "baby P" or "peanut" will have a big cousin, scheduled to arrive in October!

p.s. We gave up on the organization challenge :( we got a ton done and hope to share it soon, but we didn't want to abandon the blog because we could not stay on track!
Hair vs. Humidity
Anyone who has experienced summer in the Mississippi Delta
knows that you are guaranteed a few things: crops growing in the fields as far
as the eye can see, mosquitoes the size of birds (ok maybe not quite that
big—but close), and the nearly 100% humidity. In this sort of heat, there is no
such thing as “glistening”. This is the kind of heat that makes a southern lady
sweat. It makes you wonder why you just spent so much time on your hair since
five minutes after walking out the door it became a “giant frizz ball” [or for
some people it falls flat--clearly my sister and I do not have the second
problem].
For days like this, I’m a big believer in going with whatever
is natural (I have not always had this philosophy). Let’s face it, your hair
will most likely end up taking that route anyway. In my case, I have curly hair
so I just try to calm it down and keep it from frizzing.
Below are a few of our favorite products and tricks that we
have picked up throughout the years…
t-shirt… When I wear my hair natural, I “towel” dry it with a
t-shirt. I heard about this concept from other people and thought it seemed
pointless. Joke’s on me, because I tried it and my curls are much less frizzy
when I scrunch my hair using a t-shirt after washing it instead of a towel.
iSO Tamer… This is my all-time favorite curly-hair product. I
started using it in 8th grade and have tried other products several
times. More expensive products might I add. This one has two great features—it
does not make my hair “crunchy” and it is very inexpensive in comparison to
others.

Glossing Cream… I love to use this product after my hair has been fixed all
day and I need to make it look good better at the end of the day—or as
we call it, “spruce up.” I remember the first time Sarah told me to try this.
We were in Oxford and had been out shopping most of the day. We only had time
to run home and “spruce up” before going to dinner. Here is the pic from that
night.
UpDo’s… If I know
I am going to be out in the heat for a long period of time, I have learned to
just go ahead and put my hair up before I leave the house. This helps me avoid
the impromptu “messy bun” fiasco in a public restroom where there may or may
not be a mirror depending on the venue. A bonus—pictures typically look much
better. More to come on this topic in
the future…
