Thank you to all my readers. I have enjoyed sharing my life and loves over the past 3+ years but I feel it is my time to move on and pursue other interests. I feel very blessed to have had this opportunity and wish you all the very best.

SwirliDo Hair Ties & Twist-n-Roll Tweezers Giveaway

Just because you are a mom, doesn't mean we have to look like hell. I know it is not just me. We are all guilty of it at some time or another. We spend so much time taking care of our kids that we forget to take care of ourselves.

I can usually be found with my hair in a ponytail on any given day. When I get ready to go somewhere, after packing the diaper bags, making sure the right stroller is in the car, that we have the correct DVD's in the car (Heaven forbid that we not have the "right" Thomas the Train DVD), the reusable shopping bags, gotten both kids dressed etc... I often find I have forgotten to set aside time for me to get ready. I pull my hair out of the ponytail holder and find there is no way I can wear my hair down with the ugly bump the band made in my hair. That is where the SwirliDo Hair Ties come in.
SwirliDo Hair Ties are good for all hair types! They hold on tight and come off smoothly from your hair. They won't leave the bump in my hair that standard rubber bands do. While I don't find myself wanting to use them for when I actually style my hair into a ponytail, they are great to use around the house. They would also be great for working out, or when you need to put your hair up temporarily.  They come eight pieces per pack and in five different color themes.
We don't like to admit it, but most of us have unwanted facial hair. Whether it be eyebrows that we have to pluck or the dreaded upper lip hair, it simply isn't easy or fun to remove it. The Twist-n-Roll  works like "threading." Threading is a proven age-old form of facial hair removal practiced in India, China and the Middle East. The procedure uses a cotton thread which is twisted and pulled along the skin surface of unwanted hair, lifting hair directly from the follicle. The Twist-n-Roll makes it possible to do this at home.

It took a little trial and error but was pretty easy to get used to. They have a "how-to" video on their website to help you out. I highly suggest you watch the video as it won't seem as scary or strange once you've seen it in action. I liked that you aren't using harsh bleaching or hair removal chemicals but I did notice that my skin was a lot redder for longer than when I simply pluck my hairs.

WIN IT!: One of my readers will get an 8-pack of SwirliDo Hair Ties ($5.99 - $6.99) and one Twist-n-Roll ($14.99).

TO ENTER: Tell me what color SwirliDos are your favorite.

I like it in black, I think black just goes with anything I might be wearing and like you also wear my hair in pony tails most days, I have very long hair and since I usually tie it up when I am cooking, I just keep it in a pony tail, (I'm always cooking something LOL) its easier for me and no worries of it getting messed up, Thanks for the giveaway
