Lilla Rose Hair Clip Review and Giveaway

I was contacted by Sarah an independent Lilla Rose distributor about hosting a review and giveaway as well as a Lila Rose Party.

My middle daughter and I chose the Sea-Inspired dolphin clip to review. My daughter loved the sea theme and her favorite color is blue so she was really pleased with the clip when we received it.

Before choosing a Lilla Rose clip be sure to watch the sizing video to choose the correct size so you don’t end up with a bad fit!

When we tested this clip out we were surprised at how well it fit my daughter’s hair. It didn’t slip or fall out and it stayed in all day which is surprising considering very few hair clips do. We are in love with these clips and think they are a great alternative to the cheap clips you can buy elsewhere because they are so well made not to mention beautiful!

I love that the Lilla Rose hair clips are not only pretty and fashionable, but they work great in any type of hair. Lilla Rose offers beautiful hair jewelry in seven different sizes so it doesn’t matter how thick or fine, short or long, your hair is, but they will have one that works for you!

We are really pleased with the quality and customer service provided by Lilla Rose. Sarah is extremely helpful in choosing a clip and is fast at responding to e-mails, not to mention very pleasant to work with!

If you’d like to purchase a Flexi-8 clip you can do so here. Remember! Orders placed today get FREE shipping!

$16 gift card to two winners (you can easily purchase almost anything from Lilla Rose with these)

Dr. Scholl’s Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts

If you are like most mom’s and dad’s then you are probably on your feet all day. Whether or not at your work, around your house, or running around after your kids, your feet are proably left tired and achy. Which is why Dr. Scholl’s created the new Dr. Scholl’s Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts!

Not only are these inserts affordable, but they are located at retail stores near you. When you visit your local Dr. Scholl’s Custom Fit Orthotic Centers, located in retail stores near you, feature Footmapping® Technology to identify the areas where you apply the most pressure and your arch type. After more than 2,000 sensors calculate your unique measurements, the kiosk then recommends the Custom Fit Orthotic Insert that best fits your feet.  It is really easy and only takes a few minutes to obtain your Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts.

My husband got a chance to try the new Dr. Scholl’s Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts. He really liked them and thought that they where better made then other inserts that he has tried. Although, he did find that he had to use his old arch supports underneath his Dr. Scholl’s inserts to get better results. But, then again he has very high arches.

For more information please visitwww.footmapping.com to find a store near you and learn more.

Movie Monday: The Way Home

Faith and Family Reviews received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While we consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, our reviews are our honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

This movie is a real tear jerker! The Way Home is a true story about a family who are in the middle of getting ready for a vacation when their two year old son just disappears. Since they live on a vastly wooded area filled with lakes and ponds the family is very concerned. What starts as a family packing for a vacation turns into a massive search for little Joe. That involves almost the entire community in helping to look for this little boy.

Our family really enjoyed The Way Home. It is a wonderful movie that is a good quality film by Lions Gate. This movie has some thematic elements so if you have children that get scared easily this isn’t the movie for them. The Way Home is rate PG because of the thematic elements and brief tobacco smoking by a older gentlemen in the movie. But, our children didn’t get too scared while watching The Way Home. Just some tears when little Joe went missing. We really didn’t find any flaws with this movie at all so we were impressed.

We highly recommend The Way Home as a wonderful Christian movie for all family’s.

You may purchase The Way Home here for $21.99. Please check out The Way Home’s website for more information on The Way Home.

Charm Factory Product Review

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

I was able to pick eight charms to add on to this bracelet. I picked the:

Love Charm– Because I wanted another faith charm.

Big Sister Charm– Because I love being the big sister of 8 children. 😉

Amethyst Heart Charm– My birthstone.

Grand Piano Charm– Because I love playing piano.

Pink Crystal Music Note Charm– Because I love music.

Large Sewing Machine Charm– Because I love to sew!

Cross In Heart Charm– To show that I am a Christian

Large Dolphin Charm– Because I love dolphins!

When I got the charm bracelet I was REALLY excited. The bracelet was very well made, and has a adjustable length which fit my 7 1/2 inch wrist perfectly! I could not find any fault with this bracelet. And might be ordering a couple more charms to add on to the bracelet! 😉

Here are some pictures of the bracelet:

100_5827

I liked that the charms and beads are .925 sterling silver and manufactured in the United States, all lead and nickel free. Their pewter charms are also nickel and lead free. Charm Factory products do not contain cadmium, which is a concern with some products made in Asia. (The jump rings attached to their pewter charms do contain a small amount of nickel. A few imports that they do not make here, like some chains from Italy, are noted in product details.)

All of the charms where very beautiful, and makes such a nice accessory that goes with almost every outfit! Perfect for anyone who wants to have a bracelet that displays what they love!

Charm Factory’s costs vary on the charms that you decide to buy. They sell over 4,000 charms! And there is no limit to the amount of charms you can have! The charms range from pets, hobbies, to food charms.

Book Review: The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

tbwcbfh.gif

When I first saw this book I was really interested and thought that this would be cool to read and I was not disappointed when I read it! I thought that it was a great book.

But what is the book The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven about you ask? Here is a little bit about the Malarkey’s story story:

In 2004, Kevin Malarkey and his six-year-old son, Alex, suffered a horrific car accident. The impact from the crash paralyzed Alex and medically speaking, it was unlikely that he could survive. “I think that Alex has gone to be with Jesus,” a friend told the stricken dad. But two months later, Alex awoke from a coma with an incredible story to share. Of events at the accident scene and in the hospital while he was unconscious. Of the unearthly music that sounded just terrible to a six-year-old. Of the angels who took him through the gates of Heaven itself. And, most amazing of all…of meeting and talking to Jesus. The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven is the true story of an ordinary boy’s most extraordinary journey. As you see Heaven and earth through Alex’s eyes, you’ll come away with new insights on miracles, life beyond this world, and the power of a father’s love.

It seemed as though Alex from what his father and mother shared is so much older than 12 years old spiritually wise. His father stated in the book that “Alex was handicapped physically, but, he was handicapped spiritually. Who had the greater disadvantage?” I thought that was rather interesting.

The Malarkey family’s story is amazing and yet so stunning at the same time. I wonder how many little boys could have such a relationship with God and be so happy while in a wheelchair.

For some reason I really did not feel bad for Alex. I don’t know why, I just didn’t. It seemed as though he has something, a relationship with God, that I really have never seen before in myself as a Christian or in any other strong Christians that I know.

I really enjoyed this book. And will be reading it again! 🙂

The book The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven is available from Tyndale House Publishers for $24.99 here.

You may read Alex’s blog here. And Tyndale House Publishers has made a dvd documentary of Alex’s story.

Product Review: John Masters Organics

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

John Masters Organics sent me the following product:

evening-primrose-shampoo.jpg

Evening Primrose Shampoo for Dry Hair: When I tried this shampoo I was pleasantly surprised at the smell (it smells SOOOO good!) and that my hair still smelled nice after 2 days! The shampoo didn’t make my head as itchy as other shampoos have in the past.

lavender-conditoner.jpg

Lavender and Avocado Intensive Conditioner: This conditioner too smells really nice! And it made my hair sooo soft, and the funny thing is my long hair (down my mid-back) did not get a SINGLE tangle in my hair. My hair is so silky and soft after using this.

bw435.jpg

Blood Orange and Vanilla Body Wash: This body wash smells so nice and made my skin so soft. It however didn’t lather as nicely as other body washes.

bloodmilk.jpg

Blood Orange and Vanilla Body Milk: This lotion smells really nice and made my skin soft. However do be careful should you buy this as the lotion can come out really fast!

bearberry.jpg

John Masters Organics Bearberry Oily Skin Balancing Face Wash: After I used this my skin was really soft, and it helped take away a couple pimples. I will definitely consider buying this!

I really liked all their products and would probably buy them again in the future! All of John Master’s Organics smell really good.

Product Review: Skin MD Lotion

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

I received this lotion and was a bit skeptical about the fact that it is “supposed to get rid of dry skin problems” and found that it did help to get rid of my excema! Which I found to be very nice!

1sunscreenorder.jpg

Skin MD Natural SPF 15 Formula: This is a lotion as well as a all natural Sun Screen. When my kids ( who ALWAYS get sun-burned) put this on one day well working for 2-3 hours at our garden we did not get burned so I was really impressed! This lotion is $25. Rather expensive but is worth it!

skinmd.jpg

Skin MD Natural: I liked how soft this lotion made my hands feel. It made my legs and face soft too. Although it did not have the “wow” factor for me, it was a ok lotion though it just didn’t really do anything that another lotion couldn’t have done for me. It is $18.

Both lotions contain aloe vera and lots of great herbs! I liked both lotions. You may order the lotions here.

Product Review Forget Me Not Jewelry

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

I received the Malorie Bracelet: I found this bracelet to be very comfortable and not able to slide off my wrist as other bracelets have. It is very pretty and I liked the fact that the attachment part to the jewelry on both sides did not fall off at ALL! 🙂 She made it very sturdy and is very pretty with blue and crystal beads. The blue was in all different shades which was very nice! 🙂 Here is her description of it: “This bracelet, almost identical to the Norah anklet, is made with turquoise seed beads, crackle glass beads and small pale blue beads. The beads are looped on silver eye pins and the bracelet closes with a darling rosebud toggle clasp.” I really liked this bracelet. And the other jewelry that she makes!

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

Cadoozles – Mechanical Pencils:  These pencils are fun, colorful and are nice to use. My husband and I have been using them to balance our checkbook. 🙂

Regal Roller – 2 sizes: These pens are REALLY nice for when you need a nice fine tip pen. I like these and so does my teenage daughter.

I really like all of the pens and pencils I got to review! My family and I have been having fun with them. I love the fun colors and designs on all of them and the Cadoozles mechanical pencils. The only thing is the green and yellow-orange ink are harder to see than the other colors, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing especially if you journal or keep a diary! ;-) They are available at stores nation wide.
