    Running Sunglasses

Transcript

I'm starting a series. Your workout outfit looks like I feel like a lot of people follow me because they like my workout looks. They like my sunglasses. They like that I wear hoops, my clothes, whatever it is. I thought it could be kind of fun to just showcase some of the stuff that I'm doing. Hopefully, it will inspire someone else or maybe other people have other ideas that I'll get inspired to do and best be fun no do it together. So today tier gonna be doing my global braid. I wore this for my last Nike long run and people loved it. So I thought it could be fun to do it together better. You're gonna split your hair in half. And then on one side you're gonna leave out two little pieces that are gonna be the outside of your braid. Your little bubbles. And now you're just gonna braid the inside. No now you should have one braid. And then we should have our two pieces that we had left out that are kind of like stragglers over here. And all you're gonna do is tie off where you want your first bubble to live. No, like, I'm gonna put my first one probably around like here ish. Now that it's tied off, I'm gonna pull the two strings out to create my little bubble. I'm just gonna do that two more times now. Okay. No, now that we have one done, I'm just gonna do the exact same thing on the other side. I'm bad, and I did the other side. This side looks so much better because I did it with a mirror. Now I have both braids. Some very cute little bubble braid moment.
