Overall, homeschooling costs less than public education and produces better results.
How to do a Loop Braid
My really important tip is that you wet done the hair so that it is easier to work with and it will help the braid to stay secure.
What you will need: Brush or comb, spray bottle, 1 small hair elastic, and hairspray.
Time: 10-15 minutes
Skill Level: Hard
Step-by-Step:
- Begin by brushing all the hair away from the face…
- Take a small section of hair, near the temple, and divide it into three strands…
- Start a French Braid by completing one stitch, (braid down diagonally around the back) …
- Now on the outside strand of the French Braid, the strand closest to the ear, section off a small piece of hair and hand it to someone to hold or clip it out of the way…
- Next pick up some new hair from the bottom (not the piece you just got rid off) and add it into the bottom strand, like you would in a normal French Braid…
- Cross the new gathered strand over the middle strand…
- Now, on the outside strand closest to the top of the head, section off a smaller strand of hair, and hand it to someone to hold or clip it out of way…
- Add in some new hair to the top section, like you would in a French braid…
- Cross the entire gathered section of hair over the middle strand…
- Go back to the outside edge, nearest the ear again, and section off a small strand of hair and hand it to someone to hold..
- Now reach underneath and grab the first tiny strand of hair you originally handed or clipped out of the way.
- And add that small stand of hair into the original bottom section, while also picking up some new hair to add in…
- Cross that entire gathered section over the middle strand…
- And repeat Steps 4-13, using the two outside edge strands, over and over again…
- After you braid about 3-4 full stitches down, go back and gently tug on the first loops you had created. This will loosen the loops, and create the lacy look you see in the photos.
- Continue this in a diagonal direction across the back of the head…
- When you get to the nape of neck and run out of hair to add in, simply continue the same braiding pattern, only without adding in hair. (Or if you have loose ends coming out just finish off with a normal three strand plait.)

Our Lady Mary Help of Christians – Patroness of Australia
The Feast Day of Our Lady Mary Help of Christians has been celebrated in Australia since 1844 but the history to this day, dates back to the start of the 1800’s at a time when Napoleon Bonaparte had gaoled Pius VI (who also died in gaol). And later, when Pope Pius VII was elected he too was gaoled by Bonaparte, who kept him prisoner at Fontainebleau.
The Holy Father vowed to God that if he were restored to the Roman See, he would institute a special feast in honour of Mary.
The military eventually forced Bonaparte to release the Pope and on 24 May, 1814 Pius VII returned in triumph to Rome.
Twelve months later the Pope decreed that the Feast of Our Lady Mary Help of Christians be kept on 24 May.
The infant church in Australia had a special reason for turning to Mary. No priests were sent to the colony in its early days and Mass was not allowed except for one brief year until 1820. It was largely the Rosary in those early days that kept the faith alive.
The Australian Catholic community remained faithful to Mary and Australia was the first nation to choose her under the title, ‘Mary Help of Christians’ as principle Patroness.
Australia also became the first country to have a cathedral dedicated in Our Lady, Mary’s name. St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney was dedicated in her honor by the Irish pioneer priest, Fr John Therry who arrived in Sydney in 1820.

How to do Rag curls
Today I’ll show you how to do No-Heat curls! This is something everyone seems to always be looking for. I have done these on myself quite a few times before and they may not work out straight away, but once you get the hang of it, they are actually very easy and will turn out great! But today I’ll show you how to do them on my sisters.
-
- Before….
-
- After..
-
- when the curls had been separated a bit……
-
- 1. tie half of the hair up and out of the way…
-
- 2. grab a section about this size or larger…
-
- 3. and roll up using a pencil underneath the rag…
-
- 4. tied up in the scarf…
Items Needed: you will need some bits of cloth or a old t-shirt ripped up into approx. 15- 18 centimeter strips, spray bottle, and a comb or brush.
(Rather than using a cut up t-shirt, you can actually use something just as effective, which you are sure to have around the house… paper towels!)
Time Requirement: roughly 30 minutes or less depending on your hair and length.
Skill Level: Medium
Instructions:
Night: It will depend on how much hair you have so you will have to judge for yourself, on how many rag strips you will need.
The trick is to mist your hair with water, but only until it is just damp, if it’s any wetter the curls won’t dry properly and then they will not work.
Starting at the ends, wrap a medium sized section of your hair around one of the strips of cloth and then slowly roll it upward. Once you reach your desired height, gently tie the strip in place. Make sure that you tie the strip tight enough; so they won’t fall out in the night.
Once you have tied all your hair up in bundles, wrap a thin scarf around your head and tie it up for bed, I found this actually makes them more comfortable to sleep in and it helps the curls from being frizzy in the morning.
Morning: Don’t worry if some of the bundles slipped out a bit. Gently unravel all the bundles, and if you want to, gently separate the sections in half so they aren’t in super uniform curls.
(Now my tip is, to test these curls out, before you have to go out, or for a special occasion, so if they don’t work out the first time you will know what to do to make them better the next time, and won’t have to go out with a big frizzy mess! 
)
*BONUS*
I’m actually going to show you an alternative to rags as well….Foam rollers! They are pretty cheap and can be found at two dollar shops (where I found mine), they are also good for if you have short hair because the are easier to put in and they aren’t as tight when you take them out in the morning😉 .
-
- Before…..
-
- After..
Time: 20 minutes depending on your hair length (if you have short hair they should only take around 10 minutes).
Instructions:
Follow the rag curls steps, because they’re pretty straight foreword, only just clip the rollers in place instead of tying them. You really need to make sure that you only JUST WET the hair so its damp otherwise they won’t dry.
I hope this post was helpful:) . For any tips or questions on the rag/foam roller curls, please leave a comment below.🙂 And I apologize for the inconsistent lighting in the photos. (We were having some very cloudy wet days, so I couldn’t take the pictures outside.🙂
