New Look-for me and my blog!

 

Before

 AFTER

I am not always a big fan of change.  It can be good but sometimes its just plain scary. Like my hair.  If any of you are my friends or former classmates, you probably remember me for my crazy hair.  Big, poofy, frizzy, and out of control.  Being called names like afro, poodle, and frizzball were daily occurrences.  Well, fast forward to now.  Over the years of course I learned how to control it, style it and make it look normal.  I have had the same hair style since I met my husband-long,curly, kind of frizzy and usually up in a ponytail.  It was too long to wear down cause it just got in the way.  6 1/2 years later, I decided to go for it and change to a whole new style!! I chopped my hair to midway between my shoulders and my chin.  I look like a whole new person and I feel great! I guess this is how they feel when you go on TV and get a makeover! You feel refreshed and beautiful!  The best part is I can do so much with it and instead of being so curly like when I was younger, my hair has turned wavy.  So I am feeling fabulous,even if it is Monday!! ☺ 

You may have also noticed changes to the blog! We changed the color scheme to a brighter color (although of course its still pink!!) and added some great ads and sponsor ads!!  We are really growing now, so thank you to all the great supporters who have shared our blog via twitter, facebook and your own blogs!! It is great and I am having fun!! Keep entering the contests because this week we will have some really big ones coming!!!

Greg May Hair Product Review and Giveaway!!!

Like any girl I want my hair to look and smell great! And with my hair, its hard to find a product that keeps it looking great all day. I have long, curly, dry hair. It has tons of potential, but needs that special product to keep it fabulous no matter what I do. Well, my prayers have been answered. I came across Greg May Hair Architects from a giveaway on his Twitter page I had originally entered not knowing the prize was a haircut in his salon in Toronto,Canada. Whoops! That will teach me to enter before I read! So when I offered my prize to someone who could actually use it, Greg offered me a gift set instead! I was excited cause I am all about freebies and trying new stuff. But when I used it I was ecstatic!

First off, the 60-second silk shampoo is AMAZING!!! My hair didn't feel all dry like it usually does after using normal shampoo. And the shampoo smells like vanilla bean...it is the best smelling shampoo I have ever used! Then I used the Vanilla bean quench conditioner. My hair felt silky smooth and smelled delicious!! For styling, I used the Work It hairspray! Usually I need a lot of styling products, but I just sprayed all over and under my hair and I had one of the best hair days ever!! I got tons of compliments about how beautiful my hair looked!

I wanted to share this great product with you guys, so I asked Greg to help me out with a little giveaway! He graciously offered to donate a pack of goodies for one lucky winner of this contest!!! Here's how to enter:

MANDATORY ENTRY: Go to Greg May Hair Architects and tell me which other hair product you would like to try that wasn't mentioned in my review

Giveaway Fun on Twitter

Do you like to win things? ok who doesn't?? But how good are you at winning things? I have found the power of winning things is easier to obtain than you may think! Twitter is the ulitmate place to find tons of free stuff!! Since April of this year, here is a short list of some of the things I have won(Some on twitter, some on facebook that I found on twitter)

Concert tickets (including a years pass from Livenation)
Pantech Reveal cell phone
Clothes
shoes/boots/sandals
makeup/other beauty products
toys
books
money/giftcards
dvd's/cd's
Hotel accomadations

This is a sample of what is out there!! I don't win everything I enter, but the more you enter the better your chances! People giveaway IPODS, laptops, cameras, video cameras, trips and more! There are things to look for in the twitter search box that will help you find these contests. The keywords I search for daily are:
"first person", "1st person", "person wins", "people win", "person win", "answer wins", "answer win", "rt wins", "rt win", "follower win" "follower wins"

These bring up all sorts of everything that people are giving away! also look for Blog contests where you have to post on a blog to be entered! you can find these by searching for words like giveaway, win, "enter to win" etc.

Happy contesting!
