How to do a waterfall braid:
What you'll need:
- Bobby pins
Step 1: Prep hair by curling with an iron if you want the option of soft curls. Then, leave the front pieces out (1/2 inch to an inch in front on each side).
Step 2: Begin braiding on your right side. For the first section, split into three (like a normal braid). Cross the right side over the middle and then cross the left section in, but instead of threading the left through, just drop it down so it "waterfalls."
Step 3: For the next piece, add in your left section and your center section and then drop out your right section, ( It's like French braiding, but leaving a strand to fall each time).
Step 4: Continue down the side of your head dropping pieces out.
Step 5: Repeat on the opposite side and secure both ends by criss-crossing bobby pins together
at the back of the head. (For those of you who don't know the specific name of these "bobby pins," they look like this)
Step 7: Show off your braid! It doesn't have to be perfect, it's probably
your first time doing it!(:
Thanks for reading this tutorial, I hope it helped!

How to do a perfect high ponytail:
What you'll need:
Step 1: Give your hair some texture. If your hair is freshly washed and a little too smooth, add some hairspray or dry shampoo to your hair for some texture. This will allow your ponytail to stay in place all day long.
Step 2: Next, pull your hair up towards the crown of your head. Make sure you’re pulling your hair up, not back.
Step 3: Holding the ponytail in place with one hand, brush out any bumps with the other hand to ensure a smooth, sleek ponytail.
Step 4: Once you have found the perfect ponytail placement (center of your head, visible from the front), it’s time to take your hair elastic and secure the pony into place.
Step 5: To keep your ponytail looking elegant/stylish, take a 1-inch section of hair from the underside of your ponytail and wrap it around the hair elastic. Secure the hair with a bobby pin to hide the elastic, pushing the bobby pin in on the underside of the hair elastic so everything is covered up.
Step 6: For some added volume and texture, tease the ponytail with a fine-tooth comb, gently combing hair upwards and towards the front.
Step 7: Spray a toothbrush with hairspray and brush down any flyaways. This way, you tame your hair without making it completely flat.
Thanks for reading, I hope you now have a perfect high ponytail!

How to make Lemon Meringue Pie:
What you'll need:
For the crust:
- 1¼ cup flour + more for rolling
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 stick (8 tbsp) unsalted butter, diced
- 2 tbsp ice water + more if needed
- Secret ingredient: 1 tsp cider vinegar (helps prevent the formation of gluten, which can make for a tough crust)
For the lemon curd (filling):
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 large egg yolks (save the whites for the meringue)
- 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups cold water
- 1½ tsp lemon zest
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
For the meringue:
- 4 egg whites
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
Directions:
For the crust:
In a food processor, pulse flour, salt and sugar until well combined. Add cold diced butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with pea-sized pieces of butter distributed throughout. If the butter starts to feel too soft, stop what you are doing and freeze the ingredients again.
Sprinkle with 2 tbsp ice water and 1 tsp cider vinegar. Pulse until dough is crumbly, but holds together when squeezed, being sure to pulse and handle the dough as little as possible. Dough should be dry, but if it is not staying together, add up to 2 tbsp more water. Form dough into a 3/4-inch thick disk and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before rolling it out. This will allow the gluten to rest and moisture to be drawn into the dough.
Working on a well-floured surface or floured wax-paper, roll out dough to a 14-inch round. Dust off excess flour. Wrap the dough around rolling pin and carefully unroll over a 9-inch baking pan. Gently press into bottom and sides to fit pan. Trim over-hang to 1 inch and fold it under itself. Pinch edges to form a crimp all around.
Chill for another hour before baking. This will ensure the dough will hold its shape and shrink less when baking.
When ready to bake, cover with parchment paper, fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake at 350 degrees until lightly browned, about 45 minutes. Set aside to cool.
For the lemon curd:
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks, and lemon juice. Whisk in the cold water and cook over medium-high heat, mixing until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil, stirring, for 1 minute before removing from heat and adding lemon zest and butter. Stir until butter is melted. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust, cover with wax paper, and let cool to room temperature. Alternative, you can chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 day before baking.
For the meringue:
In a large stainless steel bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Slowly add in sugar and beat until stiff and glossy peaks form.
To finish the pie:
While making the meringue, preheat oven to 350 degrees and position a rack in the upper third of oven. Remove the wax paper from the filling and scrape the meringue onto the pie. Gently spread over the filling all the way to the inner edge of the crust. Use the back of a spoon to make decorative swirls and peaks.
Bake the pie for about 7 minutes or until the meringue is just golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours.
And ta dah, you're done! Enjoy your yummy Lemon Pie!

How to make Rocky Road Pie:
What you'll need:
- 1-1/4 cups buttermilk baking mix
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 Tbs. sugar
- 2 Tbs. boiling water
- 1/3 cup plus 2 Tbs. roasted salted peanuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1-1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 4-1/2 cups vanilla or chocolate ice cream
Prepare pie shell: Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine first 4 ingredients and 1/3 cup chopped peanuts in a bowl. Stir vigorously until a soft dough forms. Press dough firmly with floured fingers in an ungreased 10 inch pie plate, bringing dough onto rim of plate. Flute edges if desired. Cover edge with aluminum foil, if desired, to prevent excessive browning. Bake 8-10 minutes, until light brown. Cool.
Heat peanut butter and chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, just until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat. Fold in marshmallows. Cool 10 minutes. Spoon and spread 1/2 cup marshmallow mixture in pie shell. Lightly pack half the ice cream into pie shell. Spoon about half the remaining marshmallow mixture by teaspoonfuls onto ice cream. Spoon remaining ice cream into pie shell. Spoon remaining marshmallow mixture on top. Sprinkle with 2 Tbs. chopped peanuts. Cover and freeze at least 8 hours, until firm. Remove from freezer 15-20 minutes before cutting.
This recipe serves 12 people. Due to the nature of this recipe, it adjusts the number of servings in multiples of 12 only.
Enjoy your pie!
