{Bonus} #hairoftheweek: #tbt Braided Braid

As spring break comes to a close, it's time to unveil the bonus #hairoftheweek for Winter 2015. Typically, bonus #hairoftheweeks would be new 'dos like any other #hairoftheweek. The only difference is that it's not in the running for fan favorite. I'm doing something a little different this season. This one is a true throwback and we're gonna travel back in time to August 11th, 2014.

This particular #hairoftheweek means a lot to me both because of the day I originally wore it and the time it was posted on Instagram. First and foremost, I planned it so that this hairstyle would be posted on the one year anniversary of #hairoftheweek! One whole year! It's crazy to think that 365 (366, as this blog post goes up) days ago, I decided to continue trying new hairstyles. It hasn't been easy, but it's always worth the effort. I want to thank all my supportive friends for helping me with choosing filters and captions and sometimes even the hairstyles themselves. Without you, there would be no motivation for me to carry on with this project.

Speaking of awesome friends, the day I wore this hairstyle was the day I finally met Allison and Dee for the first time. They were the first (and so far only) internet friends that I have ever met in real life and that's really all one can hope for when you meet someone on Tumblr.

As far as timing goes it really could not have worked out any better, for relevancy's sake. I'm sure you've all heard about Zayn Malik's departure from One Direction by now. (A moment of silence, please.) I wore this hairstyle to the One Direction concert for their Where We Are Tour at Nationals Park. What a night. It was unforgettable and I am really grateful to have had the opportunity to see Zayn perform live. The feels are strong.

Happy Hub: Olly Murs, Psych, Weddings, & More!

This month was a whirlwind. My academics had me on my toes all month, with finals and whatnot, but I made sure to cut out some time for fun. Thank goodness for spring break, am I right? (Let's try to forget I'm missing two teeth.)

#hairoftheweek: #tbt Feathered Braid

As this post goes up, I am getting my wisdom teeth taken out. What an adventure. Other than that, there's nothing new to report. Finals are over and spring break is upon us! Now I can spend the entire week recovering. Hopefully by the time school starts again I won't have chipmunk cheeks.

Keep an eye out for next week's bonus #hairoftheweek on Instagram! Then we jump straight into Spring 2015. Wow. One whole year. The official one year anniversary is March 28th. Hopefully that'll give you a hint as to when the bonus #hairoftheweek will be posted. ;)

#hairoftheweek: Fall 2014 Recap

Fall 2014 was the second season of all time and my first season in college. I had a couple hairstyles stocked up from over the summer that I was super excited to break out and use in real life. Fair warning, a good chunk of this season's hairstyles I came up with myself so there aren't tutorials I can link you to. Despite that, the hairstyles I come up with my own are so easy that you can probably figure out how to recreate it just by looking at the photo.

I want to give a huge thank you to all the people who helped me with filter game! The look of my Instagram is determined by you and I love how you are all so supportive of this project. To counter this sappiness, I'm going to shamelessly self promote and let you know that it's free to follow my Instagram to keep up with #hairoftheweek and to keep up with my life, Twitter is the place to be. On to the hair!

#hairoftheweek: Merged Braids

The start of the week was nonstop homework, then come Wednesday I just quit. Who cares if finals are next week? I've got a dream wedding to plan. Now that the weekend has arrived and all my classes are officially over, it's time to hit the books and brace myself for these exams.

Seeing as this is the last #hairoftheweek for Winter 2015, you can all head over to my Instagram and choose your favorite hairstyle for next week's people's choice! Don't be shy! Anybody is welcome to vote and after Tuesday (March 17, 2015), voting will close so don't delay!

#hairoftheweek: Spring 2014 Recap

The inaugural season of #hairoftheweek! We are taking it back to the beginning in this post. When you click the read more, you'll see that each #hairoftheweek style from Spring 2014 has a picture of the hairdo, a brief(ish) description, what you'll need to recreate it, and links to its Instagram post and to tutorials where you can learn how to do these hairstyles yourself!

Writing this blog post was a walk down memory lane. I remember practicing each of these in my bathroom and taking all of these photos. I definitely put a lot of work into #hairoftheweek and I think it paid off. These hairstyles will always hold a special place in my heart and some of them have even made it into my everyday hair arsenal.

#hairoftheweek: Twisted Edged Fishtail

This week has completely flown by. I can hardly remember any of it but there is a lot to remember. (Clouds, anybody?) I do, however, recall having to find time every day to practice this hairstyle. It was definitely not a walk in a park. Speaking of walks, I went on a hike this week. It was for class but four miles is four miles, am I right? I feel like I should be a lot more stressed seeing as this is the last week of class before finals week. The calm before the storm...

Book Talk: February Wrap Up

It's safe to say I started off the month slow. Two books in two weeks? And one of them was for class?! Pick up the pace, Yvette! Thankfully, as the month progressed, I was able to fit more reading in (even though the end of the month was absolutely packed for me). I almost matched January's book count! To see what I read at the start of the year, click here. Looking back, I'm amazed that I found any time at all to read. I had papers due every week on top of midterms and #hairoftheweek and the multitude of other life things.

Even though I read fewer books in February, I did end up with a higher page count than in January. I'd call that a success. Although I still am not yet caught up to my staggering Thirteen Book January of 2014, I would consider myself to be in a good place. I checked two books off my Popsugar Reading Challenge, which I have a post about here, and contributed five books to my Goodreads reading challenge.

We've officially completed xo, Yvette's inaugural month! So far I am really satisfied with this blog and typing up these blog posts is so relaxing. Having the most important things in my life in one space gives me a sense of organization that I'm constantly striving for. Hopefully you are enjoying this blog as much as I am!

Did you know there was a #hairoftheweek last week too? If you missed it, you can find that post here. In fact, there's a #hairoftheweek every week. You can learn more about that here! I tried something new with my previous post and if you're interested, you should check that out here.
