Flexi 8 Hair Accessories- Review and Giveaway

deannaunderwood@gmail.com (Deanna) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:40:00 +0000

I have HUGE hair. Those of you that have met me in person know this. If you have not, here's a look:

It is a task to wash, condition, comb out, dry, straighten, tie back, you name it! I go throught hair products like crazy and never settle on one (not to mention I snap hair bands like twigs and have probably broken 50+ plastic hair clips). I am very thankful to be able to review the Flexi 8 hair clips. I was sent a few in different sizes to try out, and I have to admit, I had no idea how I was going to put one of these things in my mane...

I used the largest one and it was extremely simple, not to mention, cute! The Flexi 8 hair accessory is a very unique, attractive barrette that holds hair of all lengths and textures with an extremely flexible design. I was able to bend the top and slide the pin in place with ease over my thick curls. I love that I am able to tie my hair back with an elegant design. I tried to get a picture but it really sucked.

I really like the fact that they have 6 different sizes and hundreds of styles to accomodate different types of hair. If you have daughters with thin or short hair, the mini clip is itty bitty enough to fit in the palm of my hand and could surely make a cute style in their hair. I would definitely recommend this product for all hair types, especially thick hair, since we don't have too many other options!

BUY IT: To check out all of the Flexi 8 styles and sizes, visit http://www.flexi8.com/. Here are a couple of tips to ponder before buying:

- Most women over-estimate what size they need, read the sizing guidelines

- You should try out different sizes for different hair styles

- Take a look at the sizing video before choosing your size

{giveaway}

WIN IT: The good ol folks over at Flexi 8 would like to have one of Mommygaga's readers try out their barrettes, FREE! One lucky winner will receive (3) Flexi 8 hair clips of their choice.

Take the Dove Difference Challenge- Win a Dove Skin Nourishment Kit!

deannaunderwood@gmail.com (Deanna) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:31:00 +0000

Have you ever gotten the chance to try Dove Body Wash with NutriumMoisture? If not, now is a great time! Dove is offering a free product to the first 5,000 people who upload a video review of the body wash. Go HERE for more info and to get started.

Most cleansers wash away too much and do not give the skin back what it really needs, natural moisture. Heavy moisturizers are added, causing them to simply sit on the surface of the skin rather than to be absorbed. The Dove NutriumMoisture patent-pending technology provides skin-identical moistures, penetrating deep down for softer, smoother skin. Experience the Dove difference, here's to 2 weeks to smooth skin!

Ready to try it out? Here is a message from Dove:
Take part in the “Dove Difference Challenges”, happening until October of this year. This month is the “Two Weeks to Nourished Skin Dove Difference Challenge”. You will have the chance to share your story about what you think of the body wash. The first 5,000 video review entries will receive a free product. Go to http://www.dove.us/#/challenge/default.aspx for details on the challenge and more.

{giveaway}

One lucky winner will receive a Dove Nourishment Kit, which includes a bottle of Dove Body Wash with NutriumMoisture! Will it be you?

Mandatory Entry: Tell me how you keep your skin soft, smooth and moisturized. Is it a special body wash or lotion? Body scrub? A whole beauty regimen? Tell me about it!

Toddler Left Alone in Bathtub, Almost Dies- Amazing Story or Wake Up Call?

deannaunderwood@gmail.com (Deanna) — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:56:00 +0000

Maybe a little of both...

There was an article on MSNBC about a toddler who was found face down in a bath tub. In a nutshell, mom was giving her 2 year old and 1 year old children a bath. She was somehow distracted and left the children in the tub, alone. When she came back, she noticed that the 1 year old was face down in the tub, not breathing. Mom panicked and administered CPR for a while, and after the medics came and tried as well, he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Luckily, the baby was taken to a hospital where the ER doctors continued to try to revive him, and they were able to restore his little heart beat! Thank goodness. They were then able to induce the toddlers body into a coma to reduce brain swelling/possible brain damage. This amazingly lucky toddler was fighting his odds when he emerged from his coma 2 weeks later, walked around the hospital the same day, and checked out of the hospital 2 days after. The family was told that their child may not be the same and could require months of physical and occupational therapy. Read the full article HERE.

Although this is an amazing story of recovery, it can be used as a lesson, too. I hear too many moms say that they leave their children in the bath tub alone to take care of other things or to let their children 'play'. This is deadly people! As we all know, the bath tub is a slippery situation and many young children cannot decide what to do once they have gone under (I could imagine flailing arms and legs, not being able to think quick enough to roll over/push up, and gasping for air, which in turn fills the lungs with water). Hell, MJ has almost slipped many times in the tub, and this was under my direct supervision. I was able to catch him since I was there, so I can imagine what it might be like if I wasn't.

If you are one of those parents who leave your children unattended, please stop. Try this instead:

- Plan: Get everything ready that you may need before you start to bathe your child.
- Talk to your other children about bath time and why you are not readily available to them (aside from emergencies).
- If your phone rings in another room, get it later. Or bring it into the bathroom if it's that serious.
- If you absolutely must step out, drain the water.
- If it is a dire emergency, grab your kid out of the tub and take his/her little naked butt with you!

I am praying for the family and I truly wish the best for the continued recovery of the toddler. Let this story be a lesson to all of us. Parents, please be responsible.

**This is in no way a post of judgement, rather a reflection of an unfourtunate event. Please do not take offense to this post**

Super Cute Personalized Easter Baskets- Love These!

deannaunderwood@gmail.com (Deanna) — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:09:00 +0000

I love, love LOVE these cute little Easter baskets! I really want to get MJ one this year, they are so adorable! The ones I found are from Personal Creations, you can get them as-is, or personalize them with your childs name. I thought about making my own, but once the reality that I have "no time whatsoever" set in, I was forced to do a little shopping. Here are a couple that I am thinking about...

This bunny basket would be cute to give as a gift (blue for MJ, of course):

These are great if you are planning to attend an Easter Egg Hunt (we always do)

I love the idea of these, but they have wire handles. Would have to be given as a gift or used as decoration for an Easter celebration, don't know how well they would go over at an egg hunt. They are on sale for only $6.98!

HELP... I can't decide! Last year, I was super last minute on planning Easter festivities, so MJ used a simple basket we had already at home. I am definitely going to get on it early this year! They have a bunch more, go HERE to check out the rest.

Also, here's a Free Shipping code for Personal Creations: MAR2FS, expires 3/15/2010.

TTC Update #2: Is My Mind Playing Tricks On Me?

deannaunderwood@gmail.com (Deanna) — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:23:00 +0000

No great news yet, but I have the weirdest feeling, not like any I had when I was pregnant with MJ. You know how you just have an intuition? I also said the same thing last month, but this one is a little different...

I had a menstrual cycle a couple weeks back, but it was sorta suspect. It lasted only 2.5 days and was super light, the normal duration is about 5 days. Also, I have been super hungry lately at the most odd times and I have been getting up to pee in the middle of the night, twice last night! I am not due for another cycle for about 2 weeks, so I will have to wallow with wonder till then.

Could this be a sign? I don't remember having any pregnancy symptoms this early with MJ. It could all be a hoax, get it together, hormones! Maybe I am just hoping...
