Roots Only Applicator- review

ABOUT-
“Roots Only Applicator tool is not just for touching up your roots with hair color anymore (although it still works great for coloring Roots Only). With our newly designed, durable applicator comb (100% guaranteed not to leak) you can now use the Applicator Tool for medicated shampoos, conditioning growth oils, hair conditioners, hair color, anti-itch scalp solutions, lice medication and any other hair treatment solution required to get down to the scalp and roots.”

My Thoughts-
Before signing up for the Roots Only Applicator I was told I could use it with my conditioner. I LOVED this idea, as I use my special treatment once a week and finding a simpler way to apply sounded good.
Loading the bottle was a bit tough as it’s really thick and in a jar, not a bottle. This made me worry that it wouldn’t come out easily. However it can out very nicely. It also combed through my hair nicely. I tried it both with wet hair and dry hair. Both ways worked nicely because of the thick tooth combs it has.
I love that the Roots Only Applicator makes it easy to get every part of my hair with my conditioner. I use to have to rub it in, then comb it in. Now with the applicator I just comb it in and scrunch my hair up a bit and I’m good to go.

Loove and Sweet- Fall & Halloween product review

ABOUT-
“Handmade and designed by a mom in Canada, { Loove and Sweet } is an online shop specializing in hair accessories and jewellery for children and women. Every accessory is handmade with lots of loove. Like us on Facebook for details on how to win Monthly Giveaway Contest !”

My Thoughts-
Recently I posted a review & giveaway about { Loove and Sweet } and now I’m here to talk about their Fall & Halloween products. But first I want to make sure you all know in order to get your Fall & Halloween products before Halloween you need to think of these dates. If you live in the US you need to get your order in ASAP, if you live within Canada the latest date you can order is Oct 14th. (this still won’t 100% guarantee your order will get there but they should, they just can’t always count of the post office to be as quick as one time or another)
{ Loove and Sweet } was perfect the last time I reviewed them and even more perfect this time. I got to review a headband with orange flowers and a matching clip. This can be sized to any size you need. I used this one on myself. I put the headband on then used the clip to secure it to my hair. I loved how it looked and it fit perfect. And again I love how the foam on the clip matches the rest of the clip, no standing out white here.
We also got to review a Minnie Mouse headband for Lee. Lee loves wearing her Minnie costume while playing dress up and this VERY cute red with white hearts headband looks perfect with it. Lee even asked if she could wear the whole thing to school.
So HURRY!!! get your Fall order in SOON! I know we love our Fall products and I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll fall in love with too. Thank you so much to { Loove and Sweet } for creating amazing products.

Loove and Sweet product review & giveaway

My Thoughts-
I received a pair of earrings for myself, hair clips for Moo and a headband for Lee from { Loove and Sweet }.
I don’t normally wear long earrings, nor ant gold and these earrings were both. But I decided to wear them out for a day. People couldn’t stop talking abut them and how great they looked on me. And when they found out they were handmade in Canada it made, they couldn’t believe it. One person even said they look like they come from one of those fancy boutiques. These are now my new favorite earrings. Oh and they are made so nicely too, I pulled lightly on the glued parts and they didn’t slid apart.
Moo went to a birthday party this weekend and wanted to look cute. The yellow & green hair clip was perfect. She looked adorable and it stayed in her very fine hair. And again, the glue held together very well. I also love that she had matching foam(green) to match the clip so it wasn’t showing the normal white foam.
Lee LOVES her sparklingly purple hair band. She calls it a princess band. She has thick hair and the band stayed in very well and looked SUPER cute I might add.
We’re in love with { Loove and Sweet } and all they have to offer. They are adding new products often so I hope you’ll check them out often. I’m sure you’ll find something for all the ladies in your household.

(forgot to take a photo before she changed into her jammies, lol)

BoW’n Voyage review

ABOUT-
“BoW’n Voyage started as my attempts to make bows for my little Girls, and as a distraction from my Husband’s 10 month deployment. With the inspiration of a Friend starting her own Photography business I decided that I would try my hand at selling the Bows I love to make.
I started my Facebook page in Jan of 2010, however it really took off in February of 2011! I am loving the networking, and the amazing WAHM’s, Working Momma’s, and SAHM that I get to interact with every day! I love to be able to give things away, and help people have a better day! Life is a Voyage and it is meant to be enjoyed! So have fun and order some accessories”

My Thoughts-
I won a giveaway at Laura’s Barefoot Books facebook page a few months back from a company called BoW’n Voyage and I wanted to share about them with my readers.
I LOVE our bows we got 6 bows in all two of each style. The ones in the photo below are Lee’s favorite.
Each bow although matching are unique which to me means that no one else will have the same ones I have. The are put together well and after many wearings have not fallen apart. The slip easy into the hair and does not pull(that is very important to Lee).
BoW’n Voyage has a TON of hair clips to pick from and all at amazing prices.

One Thousand Flowers review & giveaway

ABOUT-
“One Thousand Flowers was born out of a need for creativity in a house with very small children during some very long winter months. What began as a hobby soon became something more as others began to show interest, and a passion for fun, handmade accessories took over!
I had, in the past, felt that my taste was not quite acceptable according to modern standards. It has been amazing to see vintage…, Victorian, retro, and mod find their places long after I was told they were unfashionable!”

My Thoughts-

I was beyond ecstatic to have the chance to work with One Thousand Flowers. They have SO MANY different hair & clothing accessories to pick from and all of them looked so beautiful. A plus is they have a lot of retro styles that fit my likes. I picked a swirl hair clip and was able to customize it with the colors I like.
I mainly wear purples and yellows, so my hair clips/broach I got were perfect for the outfit I wore to church this past week. At first I wore both as hair clips, then later changed it over to use the pin to show it off more. I felt so pretty wearing these and I got tons of complements at church at them. They are very well put together, no signs of easily falling apart. Plus the bigger hair clip can be also used as a pin for your shirt, hat, handbag… The possibilities are ends less.
I love One Thousand Flowers and I think you will too.

Lilla Rose flexi hair clip- review (CLOSED)

My Thoughts-
I have shoulder length very thick hair and a lot of times I have it pulled up in a ponytail. I’m always looking for nice ways to do my hair and I was excited to work with Denise Martin- Independent Sales Consultant for Lilla Rose. I picked a Hawaiian flower medium flexi clip. Flexi clips are available in seven different sizes (to accommodate all hair types), and I highly recommend you watch their sizing video to make sure you get the exact clip that will work for you.
I love my clip. I was able to pull my hair back in a low ponytail and when it got hot out I was able to hold my hair up in a messy bun. Both ways were comfortable and easy to use the clip with. The clip has a hard piece that slips through the hair and the other half of the clip is flexible to bend around your hair.
There are so many styles of clips to choose from and I had a hard time picking the one I really loved the most. I decided on one without color for now so it will match all my outfits. But loved the flower one with blue a lot too.
I would encourage you to check out Lilla Rose. I wasn’t disappointed and I’m sure you won’t be either. You can also find the following on her site- decorative bobby pins, adjustable beaded headbands, beaded eyeglass lanyards, beaded badge holders, reversible ponytail holders we call O-rings, some jewelry and hair sticks.
