Lilla Rose Flexi-Clip Review and Giveaway!!! Special Buy 3 Get 1 Free!!!

I have very long hair, and I am also a mom, so you can imagine that I have to put my hair up most of the time. If I leave my hair down, it is constantly being pulled on, getting in my way, and usually getting tangled. I don’t always have a lot of time to put my hair up either, so usually I just throw it in a ponytail or quick bun and go on with my day. Sometimes I wish I could do more elaborate styles or use something prettier, but when there is no extra time for me to spend on my hair, I must resort to the plain hair elastic in a ponytail. If you are a mom like me, then you might appreciate this review for the Lilla Rose Flexi-clip! I have been working with Independent consultant, Sarah Ives, to bring you this brilliant review and giveaway!

Sarah Ives, a busy mom of 3, was having the same tribulations with her hair as I was, she was looking for a faster way to a more attractive hairstyle. When she discovered the beauty of the flexi-clip, she knew she had to share her discovery by becoming an independent consultant for Lilla Rose.

I was asked to pick out my favorite flexi-clip from her website for the review, and I chose the Roman Cross design for me, and the Scroll Heart mini for my nieces. The Roman Cross flexi-clip is even more gorgeous in person than the photos on the website, the contrasting beads are eye-catching! My nieces loved the mini Scroll Heart flexi-clip, it is so small and adorable, just like them! Both clips are sturdy and crafted beautifully, the 8 shape flexes over your hair to make a better fit than a solid piece would. After getting the hang of the flexi-clip, it is pretty easy to put my hair up in many different styles, my favorite is the drop bun, it gives such a pretty classical look, and doesn’t take much time at all! Now I don’t have to resort to putting my hair up in a plain ponytail when I don’t have time for anything more elaborate, it takes maybe a minute to throw my hair into a twist and secure it with the clip. Here is a helpful video demonstrating how to do the drop bun in your own hair with the clip:

Independent Consultant Sarah Ives is sponsoring today’s giveaway on Mommy Ramblings! Two lucky readers will win a certificate redeemable for a Lilla Rose flexi-clip of the winner’s choice, valued up to $16!! In addition to the giveaway, Sarah is offering new customers of Lilla Rose a promotional sale, buy 3 flexi-clips from her website and get 1 free!  After you have bought your first three, just email Sarah (sarahevan5@aol.com) your choice for your free flexi-clip! Thank you Sarah Ives for this gorgeous review flexi-clip and for sponsoring this fantastic giveaway and promo!!! Giveaway is open to U.S. Canada and Mexico.

Shutter Huggers Review and Giveaway!!!

 

Has there ever been a product you invented in your head and then one day you see it on the market?  That is how it was when I saw Shutter Huggers.  I think a lot of moms and photographers have also invented this product in their minds, but a couple of moms actually followed the process all the way through and started Shutter Huggers.  There are lots of adorable plush characters to choose from and they all have a scrunchie type middle that just goes right over you lens.  The one thing I would have added is sound to the characters in terms of a jingle or a squeak, knowing me I would have added both just to have that little extra attention grabbing option.  I received the dalmatian and the monkey Shutter Huggers for review.  The dalmatian comes in colors that are great for even capturing a very young babies attention.  So if you are looking for an easy way to give your camera some personality that little ones will love, try Shutter Huggers.

 

Shutter Huggers is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a Shutter Hugger of their choice (subject to availability).  Thank you Shutter Huggers for the review huggers and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.
