Mommy Daughter Movie Star Hair Day at Swink Style Bar University Village Seattle

March 26, 2012 by Momstart 33 Comments

Spending the day with my daughter is always a very special time for us and finding things that she likes to do is still really easy. She’s such a girly girl, enjoying shopping, shoes dresses and primping. Last month I took her to get her nails done, this month we went and got our hair done at Swink Style Bar.

I had a blow out and she had a dry style. We tried one of their new packages. They have two new packages at Swink Style Bar: The one we tried was the Mommy & Me Drystyle we could have done the Mommy & Me Updo, that’s the other option. The Mommy and Me styles are for moms and their daughters (under 7 years old) The drystyle package is $55 and the updo is $75. We had a great time doing this together and I have to agree that it is perfect before family photos, Santa pictures, performances, and special events…we had dad take us out afterwards.

Older girls are of course welcome to come in with their mothers as well, but the services are regular priced ($70 for two dry styles and $100 for two updos). Swink Style Bar also has options for Teens that want to come in with mom or without.

Our pampering experience took about 30 minutes and we came out looking like new women. I actually didn’t even recognize myself whenever I looked in the mirror and a few people looked at me funny until they realized who I was. I had a great time and see myself taking Zoe back there some time just for something special to do.

I felt like a movie star and think my daughter did to. She was all smiles the whole day and showing off her hair for the next three. She’s going to be sad tonight when I finally take those braids out, but I’ll promise to put them back in myself soon. The staff was very kind and easy to chat with. They love what they do and make you feel great about the way you look.

Swink Style Bark also offers blow outs. Lash extensions. Makeup. Bridal packages. Follow @swinkstylebar on twitter and Like Swink Style Bar on Facebook too for daily deals and events.

Our hair styles were provided to us free of charge by Swink Style Bar. My opinions are my own your experience may be different.

Purse fanatic, I am not, when I find a purse I like I stick with it forever. I think I have four purses total and my husband says that one of them need to go because the zipper won’t work on it for closure anymore. So, I was actually excited by Reverse a Purse and their review opportunity. They allowed me to pick out a purse, and the options were all really great options. There were so many purse styles that I liked and thought I would be happy with. Here are just a few of the basic purse options to start off with.

Burlington Coat Factory has Winter Coats but is so much more #giveaway

November 12, 2009 by Momstart 1,033 Comments

My sister’s first job was working for Burlington Coat Factory and she was shocked to learn that you can purchase more than just coats. They have a very nice baby section that she looked at a lot while I was busy giving birth. ;-), My two kids are only 12 months apart. But since it is winter time and they are The Coat Factory, let’s check out some coats.

Burlington Coat Factory has clothing and accessories for the whole family from infants to moms and everyone in between. They inspire fall fashion on a budget stories and or Holiday gift guides I remember getting a coat one year. I was so happy. Weird huh, a lot of people don’t like getting functional gifts for Christmas. I do, it kept me warm and I thought I was the stuff with my black leather jacket.. They have coats for everyone in the family under $100, men’s and women’s business attire under $150 and boots for women under $50.

What is your style?

I love the boots. I’m a boot girl, that is one of the best things about living in the Pacific Northwest. I can wear boots from September to June.

About Burlington:

The roots of Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation (the "Company") go back to 1924 with wholesale sales of ladies coats and junior suits. In 1972, the Company opened its first outlet store in Burlington, New Jersey. Coats were the primary offering at the original Burlington Coat Factory, but over time the concept evolved into a one-stop shopping experience. Extensive selections of men’s and women’s suits, sportswear, shoes, and accessories developed. Highly successful baby and youth departments were created. A linens department was added in 1987

Burlington is offering one of my readers a 50.00 Girt Card.

To Enter:

Visit Burlington Coat Factory and tell me what you would purchase with your 50.00. Would you use it to bargain shop or on a new coat?
