Flowerz In Her Hair review and GIVEAWAY!!!!

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!!!

I have daughters. This means there is a lot of hair to do around here! Anytime we have to go somewhere my husband always jokes that there are too many women in the house, because it takes so long to get ready. Having to do my daughter's hair plus my own takes a bit of time, so I have to get ready extra early if we are headed out. Even though we have tons of hairbows EVERYWHERE, I can never resist the urge to buy more.

Amy from Flowerz In Her Hair asked me to review some of her products. I received a beanie, a clip holder, and a flower clip. These items are super cute and can be worn individually or clipped onto the beanie. My oldest daughter is into head gear. Needless to say she was in love with the beanie. I have purchased many hair bows in the past and have come across some that were made poorly with cheap glue and fell apart rather quickly. This is not the case with Amy's products. The hair clips are durable and the beanie hasn't stretched out of shape.

Invisible People TV

Imagine having little or no money.....Imagine living under a bridge, in abandoned buildings, and constantly moving from shelter to shelter....Imagine using a cardboard box for cover....Imagine having no shield from the outside elements....Imagine having no home....

I was researching the plight of homelessness as it relates to military vets and came across this wonderful blog, Invisiblepeople.tv. My husband and I spent about two hours on it; reading and listening to the stories of people of all different backgrounds who ended up on the streets. Some of them are alone, with a spouse or partner, and some of them are homeless with their children. Most of them lived normal lives like you and I, and one circumstance changed everything. After visiting the site I realized that on the days when I complain about "little" things, it could never compare to being homeless.

Invisiblepeople.tv is traveling across the country to capture the stories of people without a home. By visiting tent cities, motels, and other modern-day accomodations for people without a home, this tour will unearth the modern-day realities of homelessness while providing a venue for "invisible" people to tell their story, raw and unedited.

Orglamix Mineral Eyeshadows Review

I admit I'm not much of a beauty addict, but I do wear makeup sometimes. I only wear two brands
faithfully, but I am looking into trying others. When I was contacted by Orglamix to review their eye makeup, I felt that this was the perfect time to try something new.

I received the Obsidian, Blueberry, and Peppermint eye shadows. Now, I have experimented
with other brands and have been highly disappointed. Either the color wore off by the end of the
day and I had to reapply it, or the eye makeup itself just wasn't made really well.

I applied the Orglamix eye makeup and was satisfied with the results, although the Peppermint was a little more shimmery than the picture on their shop site displays, and I didn't use that much.

I wore it all day to see if it would pass my "all day wear" test and it did!
The makeup is finely ground and blended well with my skin tone.

The products are not expensive, which is another thing I look for when buying makeup. Sometimes you get what you pay for, but in this case the product is worth it.

All Orglamix products are proudly formulated without:
Nano Particles, Bismuth Oxychloride, Synthetic Dyes, Parabens, Synthetic Fragrances, Petrochemicals, Parabens. Orglamix is a proud member of PETA. You can check out their shop or follow them on facebook and twitter.
