FUNDAMENTALS OF BLOW DRYING WITH GIGI - NOW THAT'S JAMMIN!

Meet Geneva Marie
&
Learn The Fundamentals of
Blow Drying
JAMMIN Gigi

A bunch of divas in attendance tonight so no pics in action
were taken except for one of our polished toes below!

No one offered up shots of the round brushes all up in
our giddy-up so dictating will have to do!

Put it this way! Gigi is JAMMIN!
We all took away something from the class that will
benefit our time, looks & effort in getting our hair ready.

The link on facebook read:

Fundamentals of Blow-drying with local Stylist & hair GURU Gigi! Tuesday night from 6:30-8pm ♥ ♥ ♥ Body positioning, proper product & tool usage are all things that people need help figuring out! She believes that the "blow dry" is the foundation for a great hair day & second-day hair can look just a good as first-day hair with a few minutes of attention. "Style & go hair'' could benefit from a quick curl or swipe from an iron or spritz of spray :)

"I Love making people feel beautiful, there is no reason they can't feel that every day." -Gigi.


She was sweet, professional & straight to the point!

All the ladies left with sweet gift bags equipped
with jars of hair goodies and JAMMIN hair product!

On top of that . . . Casey's Confections did not miss the
opportunity to JAM right in!
How fortunate are we!
Second time in two weeks that we get some of their sweet lovin!
You'll notice that Casey's were the ever-so-present
cupcakes at the For the LOVE of Kids photo shoot
that Miss Bliss & La Ricki just JAMMED here recently!

Thank you Gigi for the sugah fix & thank you Casey's Confections . . .
we love JAMMIN with you too!

Check out the cookies that Gigi ordered!
In the shapes of blow dryers & brushes!

Thank YOU Gigi! We love JAMMIN with you!
We are definitely looking forward to your next JAMMIN hair class in May!

JAMMIN with BOHO Farm + HOME

Boho Farm + Home is a little 1/2 acre urban farm in the heart of Phoenix.
They desire to live a simplier life & share
with the community by inviting others to join
for classes & events.
For more information,
follow them: bohofarmandhome.com

Caroline Broome Van Slyke is JAMMIN

She came & taught us everything about canning!
She is simply amazing!
A leader!
We are so super fortunate to know her and have her in our community!

We love BOHO Farm + Home (make sure to LIKE them on facey)
that she has created & we are stoked to
have many more collaborations together!


So, first and foremost, EVERYTHING gets boiled! Sanitary & clean!
Starting off with the empty jars!

She taught us her basic salsa . . . her mother-in-law is from south Mexico
and has all the secrets. She has generously passed them along to
sweet Caroline, who passed them all along to us!

JAMMIN!

Caroline said we would need:
10 eight oz jars with lids & tops
10 large ripe tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic
2 jalapenos
1 big bunch of cilantro
2 large onions
little bit of olive oil
salt
garlic salt

Next, everything went into the blender . . .
for a quick blend, not too much.


Then we boiled that too!

Added a little "acid" . . . .

Caroline likes to use BRAGG organic Apple Cider Vinegar - she said she'd
love to plug them on our blog!
Click the link above and you can "BRAGG" too!

Then boiled salsa went into boiled jars!
We used these handy little tools she had!
Jarring colander to pour salsa into jar without
making a mess on jar rim, jar tongs to remove hot jars from
water & magnetic pole to remove boiled lids from water.
Sealed em up - boiled em again!

This makes them suction and release air.
Shortly after we were hearing the"pop" sounds
of the lids closing tightly on jars.
Caroline connecting with the jammers! CANNING IS JAMMIN!

We love you & we love BOHO Farm + Home!


P.s. Caroline loves loves this book!
