Review: Nice 'n Easy Non-Permanent Haircolor #FlirtWithHairColor

I was excited to be chosen to participate in a new blogger program with Vocalpoint.com  from Nice 'n Easy.  They just launched a great product for anyone that needs a little color pick me up for their hair.  New Non-Permanent Hair Color from Nice 'n Easy lets you kind of date a new hair color before you commit.  The color gradually washes out within 28 shampoos so you can sort of flirt with a pretty new shade of color before you get (hair) tied down.  Fun, especially if you are already married because you can still date and flirt LOL!

Vocalpoint and Clairol were so sweet to send me a free coupon so I could really try it out myself. I have light brown hair that I like to keep a bit lighter than that so I chose  #91 Dark Blonde. 

 It was super easy to use and felt very gentle on my hair and skin.  The color came out very similar to what they showed on the Clairol Website HERE.   It even colored those pesky little gray hairs!  It was very easy to figure out the shade I wanted too.  I loved the easy to read directions that came with the package and on the website.  I would definitely recommend Clairol Nice 'n Easy if you are looking to change your shade but not commit too much or too long.  

Try one or even a few shades and take your time deciding on your fave color!   Remember, 28 shampoos and you are all done. No major commitment.  If you love it then do it again with the same Clairol Nice 'n Easy color too or you can switch to another beautiful Clairol more permanent color!  I bet you will love it.

Review & Giveaway: A Gem Creation Hair Decor

I recently was invited to the MomSelect Swag Suite event as part of a recent blog weekend.  I met a bunch of great brands including Ronit from A Gem Creation.  She had so many beautiful clips, barrettes and more I was stunned.  When I went on her EtsyA Gem Creation page I was totally wowed. You have to check it out.  The colors and designs were so creative too.  Every size you can imagine too!

I chose a Blue Flower Clip as my gift.  It is a beautiful sky blue and clips in my hair easily.  It really adds a lot of flair to any outfit. It is perfect for any occasion too.

You can really see the love and care that goes into each piece that Ronit creates.  She has been crafting for years and has always loved to create things. All AGC items are unique, handmade and rarely repeated which is exciting to me.  She uses a bunch of different fabrics and ribbons, embellishments and hardware which makes each hair item unique. I appreciate that all the clips are lead free and CPSIA compliant.  That makes all the moms comfortable with using them on children too.  She even uses totally non toxic glues and materials. She donates to many causes including families in need.  I really liked that and wanted to support her even more after I read about that.  

You can check out more of her beautiful creations on her Facebook page HERE. Don't forget to visit Etsy to buy any of her pretty pieces too!

Leave a comment about your thoughts on A Gem Creation's hair accessories or tweet about them and a way to contact you in order to be in to win a random piece from their collection!

Combat Source Kill Max Ant Bait and Gel Giveaway and Review

It is summer time and everybody is here for the picnics and yummy snacks....except we also sometimes get some unwanted visitors.  Our beach house is no stranger to this problem--year after year we see those nasty and pesky ants. I never really found anything that helped me to figure out how to kill ants.  How do you get rid of ants?  One year they even attacked birthday cupcakes.  That was the worst.  I knew that I really really need to figure out How to get rid of ants! This year I decided to get smart and, thanks to my friends at Purex Insiders and Combat, I was able to calm the situation down almost to nothing with a complimentary package of Combat Source Kill Max products including Ant Bait and Gel!

Combat sent me an fantastic package of Combat Source Kill Max products that including the ant gel and the ant baits.  I set everything up at the beach house quickly since we already had a minor MAJOR ant problem.  The Combat Source Kill Max baits were very easy to set up and not messy at all. They separated very easily and I saw the ants going right in....heh, heh, heh!  Little did they know.  I also opened up the Combat Source Kill Max gel and got that going too since we had a MAJOR ant issue that needed work.  It had a cool and easy to work plunger and I got it into those cracks and crevices in the floor.   More laughing to myself (hee....hee...hee!)  Those ants were eating up that gel in about 20 minutes.  There were crowds of them eating it up all gathered together like a little ant picnic....I couldn't believe it. The next morning I only saw a few little ones.  By the next day it was down to one or two the whole day.  It has been great ever since with only one or two random ants here and there. Phewwww!  Nothing yucks me out more than ants all over the place!

This is what Combat tells you on their Combat website about the  line of products:

Benefits:

• One of the fastest active ingredients you can buy to kill ants
• Insect nerve poison kills ants by contact or ingestion.
• Starts killing ants in hours so you can see immediate results.
• High secondary colony kill. Kills ants in a domino effect, eliminating the source of the infestation.

They haven't been back since with the exception of the occasional one or two.  I make sure I keep the house very clean and tidy up any crumbs quickly as always.  I would definitely buy Combat Source Kill Max products again and they are going on my list.
