Lilla Rose Product Review and… A GIVEAWAY!!!

So, the hand is almost all better, just in time for my baking day today. One of the things I made today (lots of baking going on) was homemade chewy, oatey, granola bars goodness. Sooo much better than you can buy at the store. I will post the recipe tomorrow but today I have the pleasure of doing a product review!

I was contacted by Sarah of Lilla Rose who sells these very nice hair clips. There is only one problem, hair clips give me a headache. Actually anything I put in my hair gives me a headache. She told me she was pretty sure I would not get a headache while wearing the clip….um, OK, I’ll try it. Well, guess what? I wore it for an hour the first day and no headache. I actually forgot I was wearing it until one of my daughters mentioned that she liked it.

The next day I figured “well OK it did not hurt because I did not have all my hair in it”. I wore my hair all up in a pony tail with my flexi-clip and it did not give me a headache and kept my hair in place all day!!!! I should mention that I was given a clip to try for free but my honest opinion is that I love it and will be getting some for Christmas stockings this year (gasp, something that is not handmade…um yeah)

I have tried it on all my girls who pretty much represent most of the different types of hair, long, medium length, curly, straight, thin and thick and it worked well in everyone’s head. I forgot to mention that they come in sizes for all types and length of hair.

I tried in my oldest daughters hair who is super thick and straight. Check it out, it held her hair in place. These pictures were taken after a whole day at work (isn’t my girl such a good sport)

Here it is in my curly hair.  Ignore the gray hairs, I have been dreading the day that I might have to do something about it.  The thought of using all those chemicals in my hair, yuck!  This is also the first time I am seeing my hair in pictures since I stopped using shampoo, conditioner and hair product.  This was a bad hair week for me, I have not been able to do my hair because of the burn on my hand. The flexiclip is so simple to use that I can put it on with my left hand and the finger that is usable on my right hand, easy!

Want one? Sarah is generously offering one lucky reader  a certificate redeemable for a flexi-clip of the winner’s choice, valued up to $15.00. (so many to choose from).

and the winner is…apron giveaway

Sorry for the lack of posts this week, my laptop is acting up.  This is the 3rd laptop that has either gotten fried this year or had some type of problem plus my desktop is still in the repair shop…I am a murderer of computers. Luckily this time I am pretty sure it is just the power cord and battery which I need to replace.  I am typing right now very gently because any little movement of the cord and the puter is off.  Frustrating!!!

No picture of the winner today, trying to attach my card reader to the port upsets my laptop and you guessed it, it turns off.  Thank you everyone one of you for helping me pick the pictures for my banner and blog button, I couldn’t have done it without you.  Next week sometime I will unvail the new banner and button so stay tuned.

With out further delay,  the winner is Grammy Suzy!!!  Congrats and email me with your info please so I can get this cute little apron out to you.

Visit again tomorrow for a quick tutorial on how to make that super easy apron for your own.
