Hair Flairs Hair Tinsel Review

Have you heard of Hair Flairs?? Hair tinsel is a fun hair accessory you can put in your hair to add a little sparkle! There are all sorts of brands of hair tinsel, and I love Hair Flairs, the Pro Hair Tinsel! Hair Flairs are a tie-in glitter strand. Made from durable polyester, it simply ties into hair. You can wash, blow-dry, flat-iron with Hair Flairs in your hair. Trina Marr, founder of Hair Flairs, was interviewed on the Oprah Winfrey show on Jan 28th and was wearing Sparkle Gold Hair Flairs. Oprah loved them!

I think these are super cute on kids. I am not much of a fan of them for myself but think they look adorable on little girls.  I did however see a little boy with them and I wasn't so sure I liked that.   But on little girls I do.  They are pretty easy to put in and surprisingly they stay in pretty well!  Hair Flairs are a fun way to accessorize and its so much cheaper to do them yourself! Most places charge around $3 a strand to put in Hair Flairs. If you buy Hair Flairs, they are $10 a package.

Hairflairs.com also offers hair feathers and hair crystals, so you can accessorize your hair in all sorts of cute ways! Check it out today!

Scott's Liquid Gold Wood Care Review!

Taking care of your wood floors and wood furniture doesn't have to be a chore! Scott's Liquid Gold is best known for its amazing ability to clean and restore natural wood. Generations of users also know it's also great for fixing squeaky hinges, shining metal, cleaning porcelain, vinyl and so much more. Liquid Gold began in the garage of a widowed single mother of three boys.  You know she must have done a lot of cleaning. Manufactured in Denver, Colorado, Scott's Liquid Gold is still made with natural organic oils. It works as well today as it did 60 years ago!  

I just moved out of a house with wood floors, and used this to clean it up before we left! The Liquid Gold worked so well at getting the floors to work its best!  The wood wash also smells good so you don't have to worry about obnoxious smells when cleaning! The concentrate goes a long way too, so you will get plenty of uses out of the bottle!

 
I liked the wood cleaner & preservative  for cleaning furniture and it really made it shine! I like my wood furniture to stay nice, and this has been my favorite cleaner! I used the bottle pretty often so it didn't last long!  I even used it to spot clean the wood floors as needed! This is a superior product that will keep your wood looking beautiful! 

Check out Scotts Liquid Gold on Facebook to learn more!

13deals.com Website Review

13deals.com is a fun site where you can score great deals on all kinds of items!  They constantly change the deals on the site, so you have to keep coming back to see what you can find! Each day they have 13 great deals, but they go quick, so you have to get it before its gone! You never know what kind of deals you will find!!

For just $14.99 you can get this EZ Grill Disposable Party Grill:

I received one of these grills to try out.  I had originally requested an LED lantern, but it arrived and did not work, so the company gave me a new product to try out. This EZ grill was pretty good, it was easy to light and can go anywhere.  The food tasted good, even if it was a little different then using a regular bbq.  The grill is also disposable so it is quick clean up when you are done.  You do have to let it cool down before disposing it, so we poured water in it when we were done. You must do this in an area where the charcoal run off is ok.

About 13deals:
13 Deals is all about bringing you 13 awesome "Wow I can't believe it" deals. Sometimes they run specials where they have more than 13deals, but never any less.  The most important thing to know is Once they sell out, they sell out. So thinking it over and coming back tomorrow is not the way to go here, as they will most likely be out of what you wanted.  There may be item limits as well, so check the item details for any restrictions. 

So next time you are on an online shopping spree, hit 13deals.com and check it all out! I'm sure you will find something great for a great price!!

Exposed Envy Decorative Designer Bra Straps Review & Giveaway

Looking good is always a priority, but sometimes looking good and having the proper support doesn't go together.  I have so many cute things to wear, but hate when my bra straps are showing. It doesn't look classy and so I either don't wear the outfit or go without the support of a bra.  Luckily there are solutions to these types of problems! Exposed Envy offers decorative bra straps so you can get the needed support and still look nice!

Now, these only work with the bra straps that you can remove from your bra.  But there are plenty of those available!  Exposed Envy has so many different designs, so you can get one to go with your favorite outfit!  I liked the ones I got to review-a pair of shiny sparkly ones and a blue floral print one. They are quick and easy to change, and look so much nicer than a regular bra strap. I prefer the rhinestone bra straps, because they look more decorative and less like a bra strap. No matter which one you choose, you will surely look classy with your  new decorative bra straps!

One lucky reader will win an Exposed Envy Bra Strap set!!! Here is how to win!!:

Diabetic Advanced Healing Cream Review

It seems as if everyone knows someone who is affected by diabetes.  Diabetes leaves your skin feeling dry and itchy.  It can be really difficult to find a product that provides relief.  Neoteric Cosmetics, a subsidiary of Scott’s Liquid Gold, has created a Diabetic Advanced Healing Cream to improve the quality of life for those living with Diabetes. This cream is an exceptional intensive treatment for chronic dry, cracked, damaged, slow healing skin. Containing TriOxygenC®, Neoteric Diabetic Oxygenated Advanced Healing Cream is clinically proven to increase circulation and speed skin's healing by strengthening its own natural defenses.

I don't have diabetes, but my feet are always extremely dry so I decided to try this product. It is the only lotion I have found that gives me the relief I need.  It doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy, and makes the itching and dryness go away. I use it daily to keep my feet soft and healthy! It is a great lotion and has no fragrance, so any one can use it! It works great anywhere on the body that you need that extra relief from dry itchy skin! I love it and will continue to use it!

Barielle Nail Products Review & Giveaway!

There is no denying summer time has arrived!! No more hiding your feet-its time to polish those toes and show them off! Barielle offers great products to keep your nails looking their best!  I was lucky enough to get to work with Barielle on this review/giveaway!! They sent me Barielle Ultra Speed Dry Manicure Extender and the Barielle Nail Brightener and the Shades by Barielle in the color Swizzle Stix! I couldn't wait to try them out! 

 

The manicure extender worked really well at keeping my color longer! Since I do all the dishes and stuff at home my nail polish usually doesn't last past one day! This helped keep my nail color on about 3 days!  It was easy to use and dried pretty quick! I liked that it didn't make my nail polish too thick but gave a nice top coat.

I used the nail brightener on my toes since they hadn't seen the light of day for a while! They perked right up and looked much healthier after applying the brightener. This is great to get rid of the dull look any time of year, and I really liked it best for my toes when I don't have a color on them. Since I don't always polish my finger nails, I use it frequently on my finger nails to keep them natural looking and healthy!





The color Swizzle Stick isn't shown here, but it is a beautiful blue color:

 




The nail polish wasn't as thick as other polishes I have used, so I had to do a few coats to get the desired color and appearance. I really liked the nice bright shade for summer! My youngest daughter also loves blue, so she was excited to get her nails done with something besides pink for a change!  Barielle offers so many great colors, so be sure to check them out next time you are wanting a new shade! 


Barielle would like to offer one lucky reader a Barielle Nail Strengthener Cream!!! Here is how to win!!:

Tips For Making Life Easier!

Click to save $1.50 on a 4 pack today! http://bit.ly/qOK1GR

This summer, Seattle’s Best Coffee® is introducing the Official Latte of Pretty Much Everything. The convenient grab-and-go cans fit perfectly with a mom’s hectic schedule. The kids are home from school and looking for fun activities to fill their days and life as a mom just shifted into high gear for the summer months! The delicious, refreshing iced latte from Seattle’s Best Coffee® is an effortlessly bring-alongable quick pick-me-up to help you get through the day on the go. With three tasty options, Seattle’s Best Coffee® Iced Lattes are officially the easiest way to enjoy a cold, creamy latte wherever life takes you this summer. 

I am all about taking a break and having my latte, but sometimes I just don't have the time!  Life is pretty crazy now a days and it can stress even the most calm and collected person out! Every one needs a break now and then or a way to break a way.  That's why I am here sharing my tips to make your life even a little bit easier!  Check them out!:

1-Find time for yourself! That is my #1 thing I suggest you do if you want to keep your sanity!! Even if it means hiding out in the bathroom with the door locked for 5 minutes while you blast your favorite song, DO IT.  You need at least a few minutes to yourself, so don't feel guilty for taking it.

2-Take advantage of down time! When the little ones are asleep, then you can tackle household chores. At work, if you finish your stuff early, go on to the next project and get ahead!

3-Plan your meals ahead.  I go out once a week for the shopping and plan for my meals that week.  Breakfast and lunches are usually pretty easy, and so mainly I plan out the main dishes and sides for dinner all week. It saves money and time this way!

4-Prepare meals ahead of time for later! This can be as easy as putting the desired ingredients in a casserole dish and putting it in the fridge for dinner.  I like to prepare the sides ahead of time or chop veggies and store them for a quick meal.

5-Get enough sleep at night. And make sure your whole family does.  Nobody can function properly when they are lacking sleep. Keeping on a good sleep routine will give you more energy for the day!

6-Get some exercise!! Walk the dog with the kids, go for a bike ride, do yoga-just do SOMETHING! It is crucial to stay active for your health and longevity.  You will look better and feel better!

7-Eat healthy!  I am surprised at how much I actually like healthy foods!! Vegetables are really good especially if you know how to cook them! I also love whole wheat products, especially sandwich thins and tortillas! Your body works better when it has the proper nutrients.

8-Treat yourself to something every now and then.  Get yourself a latte or a new purse!  You do everything for everyone, so don't forget to do a little something for yourself too!

9-Don't sweat the little stuff. So the house isn't perfectly clean.  Your kids deserve your time more. You can always finish the dishes once they go to sleep.  There will be time for it later.

10-Get your family to eat dinner together.  You will get to know your kids better and have a better bond overall.  It is really important to spend time together, and dinner is one of the best times.

So next time you are feeling stressed out, remember these tips and try to reach a little zen!  I'm sure you will feel a lot better-and finally be able to enjoy that latte!!

But there are alternatives-like making a digital scrapbook!  I  loved making one on Mixbook.com! I got to piece together a 20 page softcover scrapbook and it was so much fun!

Putting together a digital scrapbook took a LOT of time, effort and pictures.

The process was simple and easy to customize to be EXACTLY how I wanted it to be.  This book is something that I will cherish the rest of my life!

Garlic Gold® Oil - USDA certified organic oil Review!

I started out as a novice in the kitchen when I got married. I could cook grilled cheese and Hamburger Helper pretty well but that was about it! Now that I've had some practice, I have gotten pretty good at cooking and learning what flavors go well together. One thing I love in my food is garlic! Garlic Gold Olive Oil is a great choice when I am cooking all sorts of delicious meals!

Product Description: Garlic Gold® Oil has been widely recognized as the finest tasting garlic-infused organic extra-virgin olive oil on the market. This subtle, unique oil is great for sauteeing or stir-frying your favorite dishes, or simply use it as a bread dip. Adds rich flavor to roasted, fried or baked potatoes, steamed beets, roast chicken, grilled meats and more. A healthy, delicious substitute for butter, use in place of regular cooking oils. Great in marinades, sauces, and as a finishing oil.  Organic, unique and hand-crafted, our healthy gourmet garlic condiments turn any meal into a memorable dining experience!

I love to saute mushrooms when I cook steaks, and like the flavor of garlic on the mushrooms.  Now I like to use the Garlic Gold oil with them for the best taste! This works well with all sorts of vegetables, pastas and meats!  It gives them a great flavor without having to add salty seasoning!  This oil didn't last long in my house!

Tying knots for ties isn't always the easiest thing to learn. I still haven't mastered it, but then again I don't wear them that often!!  My husband isn't a guy who usually wears a tie, so he doesn't have a clue either! That's why we were so excited to try The Perfect Knot Kit!

Product Description

The Perfect Knot is a state-of-the-art clip that is placed in your tie to make the perfect Double Windsor knot. Once the clip is in place, make your tie as you normally would around the clip. The clip remains hidden in your tie, forming The Perfect Knot.

The Perfect Knot Valet Box Includes:

Three Perfect Knot Clips, Small, Medium & Large, Three sets of matching collar stays

This kit makes having the "perfect knot" a cinch every time! It is quick and easy to use, and looks great!  No more struggling to tie your tie, and no more clip on ties!  My husband thought this was a great product and now he can wear a tie when the occasion arises! This is a great gift for any guy in your life!!

About The Inventor: The Perfect Knot Inc. was created by Franco Biancamano, a former NFL football player and Inventor. Through his many accomplishments and adventures as a professional, Franco also found his way in to the world of fashion as a print model. Being around such A-list celebrities and models Franco found it extremely odd as to how everyone would ask him how to tie a necktie. To make it easy for everyone Franco invented "The Perfect Knot". A unique product that makes tying a Double Windsor simple and perfect every time! Franco proceeded to market his product with the help of Anthony Franzese, a friend and investor who also shared the same passion and vision
