Frugal In Florida

Well. I wouldn't say it was a FAIL ... but didn't quite work out the way I thought it would. 1. Hard to sleep with my hair up like that. 2.

So I put the hair up in a high ponytail. Sprayed it with the only styling type of stuff I have, used for high heat (flatirons) and rolled it up. I will be curious to see how it works out only because I couldn't get it TIGHT as I have a hard time getting a tight grip (post coming up soon on THAT issue). But it's up. And rolled unde...
