Want Great Hair? GK has the Tool for you- W!N YOURS HERE!

The GK Titanium flat iron is awesome- according to my mom. The titanium plates are so smooth and glide over your hair no problems. The titanium plates are different than the average flat iron, which gives you more control and makes it easier to use in her opinion. My mom hates how frizzy and kinky her hair is, and says that this makes her hair silky and smooth and was very easy to use. GK has superior heat output, and is super convenient and not as time consuming as many other flat irons. Also- one swipe, and your hair is how you want it to look- you don’t need to keep going over and over like some other irons. (Hence that whole not time consuming thing.)

The world according to my mom;
“I’ve never used a flat iron that was titanium before and was very pleasantly surprised. My hair was softer, smoother and the friz factor was very very low as compared to the ceramic iron I’ve been using. It heats up very quickly and cools just as quickly. That’s a good thing. It’s lightweight and easy to use. I would give it a 9 out of 10. The only thing I would change would be to make the plates a little bigger and to include directions with the product as none were enclosed with the one I have.”

Opening the Lines of Communication with Your Kids

Has anyone else noticed that kids seem to be growing up a lot quicker these days? Sure, a case could
be made that a hundred years ago it was common for kids to get married early in their teenage years,
so not that much has changed, really. Of course, the life expectancy back then was about 50, so that
argument doesn’t really hold water. The point is, kids are so busy being connected to the whole
world through the internet, social media, and their many technological devices that they are no longer
connecting with their families. And they’re probably learning a lot more about the world than parents
would like, and a lot earlier in life. But you can get back to basics with your kids, and it starts with
opening the lines of communication.

There’s no denying that modern kids can be hard to talk to. For one thing, they have their own lingo.
But that’s really nothing new; you probably used slang in your childhood that threw your parents for a
loop, too (I can’t be the only one who perturbed my father by him “dude”). Even if you’re not hep to
their jive, you can try talking to your kids in regular old English. Even if they don’t seem to know how to
speak it at times, they can at least understand what you’re saying. But sometimes it can be difficult just
to get started, and getting them to open up may seem tougher than breaking into Fort Knox.

However, it behooves you to keep in mind that any wall may be breached – you just have to find the
weak spot. Often, it starts with a positive attitude. It’s easy for parents to get caught up in the demands
of daily life and start ushering [Read more…]

How to Update Your Wardrobe on a Budget

Every woman loves keeping their closet up to date when it comes to the latest trends in fashion and
style, but a limited budget can make updating your wardrobe seem like an exercise in futility. If you
want to enjoy the one of a kind feeling that comes with putting on your favorite dress and a fabulous
pair of pumps for a night on the town, balancing your fashion sense with financial prudence can be hard
to manage. Even with the recession dragging on, and dragging our wallets down with it, there is good
news for budget savvy women who want to stay fashionable. For modern shoppers, a combination of
discount clothing outlets, retro resale operations and the online shopping experience means that there
are plenty of ways to snag designer labels and unique ensembles while sticking to a sensible budget.

The first step to take when you want to update your wardrobe for the upcoming season is to shed all of
your outdated and unwanted clothes. If your photos all seem have the same blouse and jeans combo,
it may be time to ditch it for something fresh and new. Organize your closet and search diligently for
items that are simply ready to go, and separate these clothes by type, brand and original price. Now you

Cross Post from Tailor Made Momma- W!N a Kids Tee Shirt :)

While I am not very musically talented myself, I have a deep appreciation for music and the great things that it can do for people.
When I heard about SlickSugar teaming up with Little Kids Rock I was super excited to join in and help spread the word.
SlickSugar sent me us a very cute “Keep the Music Alive” onesie for little Colton.
The tee shirt was super cute. At 13 months Colton is still very tiny for his age and even with a super padded cloth diaper on an 18 months was a little large for him. However it didn’t seem to hang off his shoulders like some of his bigger onesies do. It’s made of 100% cotton
These tees and onesies are available in size 6 months to 5T and retail on their website for $26. You can feel good about your purchase and know that while your little one is rocking a super cute shirt you are helping to support under funded music programs in public schools and helping to bring the joy of music to children who may not have had the opportunity [Read more…]
