Hair Style Worthy of The Red Carpet: How To Create a Hot Bun

April 5, 2013 by Momstart 2 Comments

We received a set of the As seen on TV Hot Buns and my daughter and I love it. I love how well it stays in my hair, I can put it in in the morning and as long as the ponytail I created was tight the hot bun stayed tight. I had amazing hair, even when I was just wearing my work out sweats. Zoe likes to wear it to gymnastics. And out with a flower!

You can watch how easy it is to use in this quick video I created using the As Seen On TV Hot Buns. Just place your hair in a pony tail, use the hot bun by rolling it up towards the pony tail, snap, and pull over bun. EASY.

Hot Buns for beautiful buns in less than a minute! Hot Buns as seen on TV is the hair accessory that lets you roll, snap and wrap your hair into the perfect bun – no pins needed! Hot Buns is lightweight, comfortable you can even sleep in it creating beautiful, bouncy curls and waves. Perfect for casual or elegant wear. Includes one small and one large. Available in light or dark.

I really really do like them. I’ve taken them on blog trips with me and used them a lot. I love that it comes with two in one box because I can use one on my daughter and one on me. I can create a large bun or a small bun and it look professional.

Plus it gives my daughter a smile like that, how can I not be satisfied.

Go Crazy with Glow Crazy, My Kids Can Draw on The Wall! #Giveaway

February 17, 2011 by Momstart 133 Comments

Glow Crazy made my kids go crazy!

Glow Crazy is not recommended for children under the age of three, or if you child can not resist shining things in their eyes when you tell them not too. Somehow, Miles was actually able to resist. But only with adult supervision. Glow Crazy (BIGiggle) sent us the Draw and Write Distance Doodler. This doodler comes with 2 canvas clings, 4 stencils and the light writer. In the video when we were making lines and shapes, it’s hard to see on the camera but the lines stayed there longer and were more visible with a vibrant green color.

Later when Miles and Zoe were playing with the pen on their own, they were using the one I placed next to her bed. They were using the stencils and making shapes like the moon and cars. Every time they made something new they were excited to show me. Then when daddy came home from work the first thing they had to do was show them how they could create things on the wall. My only complaint is that the sticky canvas clings aren’t that sticky. So to get them to stick on the wall, I suggest push pins.

Go Electronic Get off the Mass Mailing Lists

December 28, 2010 by Momstart 3 Comments

Today’s Green Tip:

Get off all those catalog mailing lists! Did you know that by purchasing goods online, companies may’ve signed you up to their mailing lists? This year I received catalogs from As Seen On TV to Pottery Barn. So here’s the deal, go online to “Contact Us” for each catalog you received. From there you can find a drop down for getting off their mailing list. If this is proving difficult than wait for your next catalog and check the back which should tell you how to be removed from their list. You can also call the company to get removed from mailing lists. This isn’t telling the company that you don’t want to shop with them, you’re simply going paperless. By doing your part companies will begin to use less paper to print catalogs and lower mail carrier emissions due to fewer deliveries.

I know this takes a lot of time on our parts, but it’s important. Every single catalog I get goes straight into the recycling, and you may say, well at least it’s getting recycled. Yes, that is true, but even recycling uses valuable resources. Plus, I agree with Summer, if we get off the mailing lists then we are making companies think about moving to electronic catalogs.

I will admit, I love getting magazines and most of the magazines I’m subscribed to have coupons in them. That being said, coupons are moving to electronic form too. They are going as far as aps on phones, with no printing at all. Now we just need all of the grocery stores to catch up to the times too!

It is time that we all start thinking about green and eco friendly ways to live. Most things are really small but multiplied by each of us makes each step huge and profound. What is your fresh idea?
