Happy almost Christmas Eve everyone! In case you're gearing up for a few last minute parties or perhaps hopping over to see an evening performance of The Nutcracker (guilty as charged!), I figured I would take this opportunity to share this easy, side-swept hair tutorial I filmed a while back with QVC -- perfect for whatever holiday fêtes you may have on the calendar. Granted, some of you may remember my last hair tutorial was back in 2012 (yikes!), when my hair was to my chin (WHOA!), so this update is long, long, long overdue. And in case you're wondering: the clipless T3 Whirl Trio Styling Wand I'm using here is a DREAM (and that says a lot coming from someone who has burned herself many times with other clipless wands). And in case you're also wondering: Yes, I'm slightly awkward on camera. Forgive me, OK? And in case you're really wondering: I'm not quite sure why I started petting my hair like that in the beginning of the video, sorry in advance!

Lastly, if you're need of other holiday beauty inspiration, be sure to check out QVC's recently launched Beauty iQ for lots of new, trending beauty tools/products, how-to videos and tips straight from professionals.

Oh, and happy holidays!
