Happy Halloween!! + UPDATE

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all are having a great Halloween. My night will be spent making some new jewelry and fixing some pictures of some I have already made. Hopefully within the next few days I will have some more items added to my shop! I think I will also have some popcorn and watch a scary movie. Anyway, I haven't been able to post because my computer has been going through some issues. Here is a little update:

Facebook.
I have not been able to view my facebook page from my computer. When I log on the screen is blank! So I have been logging on through my phone and other computers, but unfortunately, I have not been able to update as much as I would like to. I notified facebook and hopefully the problem will be fixed soon.

Twitter
I have been tweeting a bit more and hopefully it will become a habit to tweet daily. I don't just tweet about my jewelry either, i like to tweet about everything! If you have twitter - follow me!

Pintrest
You can follow my pins as well! I don't pin every day, but when I do pin I can stay online for HOURS! It is sooo addicting! I just love seeing all the fashion, beauty, and home decor tips there. It really makes me get into a creative zone.

My blog
I have not been able to blog too much. Starting today, I will be on it! I have a few ideas in mind that i want to do on certain days. I will be getting back into my Favorites and maybe I will change it to another day. So stay tuned!

Other then my social networking updates, I have been preparing for the holidays. I am gathering new items to decorate my packages in so they can be ready to give (and receive) as presents. I LOVE the holiday season! Just walking around, seeing the lights, trees, and what people are wearing makes me feel JOLLY :)

I will be having a holiday sale as well so make sure subscribe to my blog posts, facebook, or twitter so you won't miss it!

Wedding Jewelry - August Rose style!

As some of you may know, my friend recently got married and I had the honour of creating some beautiful jewelry for her special day! I wanted to share a few pictures from her wedding courtesy of Captured by Carmen who did an amazing job on the photography! The wedding was a lot of fun and the bride looked absolutely stunning!

A shot of the bracelet. Beautiful glass pearls and swarovski rhinestone details.

The bride putting on the double pearl & rhinestone earrings!

The new Mr. & Mrs. walking out of the church and of course, a lovely shot of the jewelry.

The bride and I couldn't be happier with how the jewelry came out. They complimented her and the dress beautifully. Pearls are timeless and never go out of style so they make the perfect wedding accessory.You can find a set like this at August Rose! Also, I do custom pieces as well, so contact me if you have something in mind!

You can check out the rest of the photos on Carmens Facebook @ Captured by Carmen and take a look at her gorgeous pictures.

Saturday Weekly Favorites

Happy Saturday Everyone!
I wanted to do some sort of weekly thing on my blog and thought Favorites Saturday would be perfect! I am into beauty, fashion, and jewelry so I figured that every Friday I will post some favorite stuff I have been liking/using during that week. I know a lot of people post their monthly favorites, but I usually forget what I used or bought so weekly it is! Let's get started!

-----I have been LOVING (even though I am late on the bandwagon) is Aussie 3 minute miracle deep conditioner.

$3.69 at Ulta

This stuff is sooo good! I use it every other time I wash my hair. It leaves my hair feeling super soft and it really does do it's job. They sell these everywhere, so I'm sure you will be able to find it. I really would believe the hype on this product because it is THAT good!

-----The next thing is this new nail polish from Night Prowl from Wet n' Wild.

$1.99 at Walmart

The pointer finger has 2 coats Night Prowl. The middle finger has 1 coat of black (Wet n' Wild Black) and 1 coat of Night Prowl and 1 coat clear top coat (Ulta brand). The ring finger has 1 coat black, 1 coat Night Prowl and 1 coat clear and the pinky finger has just 1 coat of Night Prowl.

As you can see you definitly need 2 coats of this polish.I think this is a perfect color for Fall/Winter. I usually wear black A LOT during these months so I thought it was a nice little change from it. Also this color is very comparable to China Glaze - Mummy May I. The sparkles in Mummy May I are a different purple and the base colors are different, but after a few coats of either, they pretty much look the same.

----Next is this clutch/purse I got at a Thrift store!

$2.00 at local Thrift Store

I like to go to thrift stores. You can really find some treasures at a thrift store if you look hard enough. I was actually on my way to the cash register when I saw this sitting all alone and I just knew that I had to have it! I plan on changing the straps to some chain type ones, but for now I can just take the straps off and use it as a clutch. It is perfect for a night out and very in style! The inside looks like it has never been used, which is a great bonus! I do wish the hardware was gold, but for $2.00 I am a happy shopper!

----The very last favorite for this week are these beautiful little trinkets I found. 

The square ones have this studded look to them, also the pointer type ones are very edgy! I also found some really nice chains in gun metal, gold, and silver. I can not WAIT to get started on some jewelry using these. Let's see what I come up with on August Rose!!!

So thank you for reading this! I think I am going to like doing these Weekly Favorites! I am still thinking of other "themes" I can do on this blog, hopefully next week I will have some more! Have a great weekend everyone!

Waves without the heat!

Now that Fall is here, it's time to give your hair a break from all the heat! So here is something I do when I want some wave in my hair, but don't feel like dealing with all those hot tools!

What you will need: mousse, hairspray,bobby pins (at least 10), and a shower cap (optional)

After you wash and towel dry your hair then follow these steps!

Step 1: apply mousse (or gel).  Depending on how long your hair is, use a dime size to a quarter. You don't want to use too much because you want soft waves.
Step 2: Take small sections of your hair and wrap it around your finger and pin with a bobby pin it so it stays - place these anywhere you want some waves. The smaller the section of hair, the curlier it is most likely to get.

Step 3: When you have your whole head sectioned and pinned, spray with hairspray.
Step 4 (optional): Cover your entire hair with shower cap. *this may prolong the drying time. If you have time then do this so you do not ruin your pinned curls*
Step 5: Let your hair air dry! The dryer your hair, the more your waves will stay.
Step 6: Take out all your bobby pins - Don't Brush! Use your fingers to comb through your hair
Step 7: Scrunch your hair with a little mouse - you don't want too much because then your hair will become hard. A nickle size be fine.

Step 8: Style as desired :) - Remember - Do not brush, comb through with fingers.

I hope this little tip helped with staying away from the heat. Since my hair is pretty long, I always try to avoid using any heat on my hair. This way of doing my hair leaves my hair with soft, manageable and natural looking waves.

Thanks for reading! You can find the coral earrings like this at - August Rose.
