My Little Pony: The Movie $500 Prize Pack Giveaway #PonytailTuesday

December 21, 2017 by 7 Comments

We have teamed up with Bloggin’ Mamas and My Little Pony: The Movie for this amazing giveaway.

Today, December 19th the digital copy of My Little Pony: The Movie was released! Stay tuned for the Blu-Ray and On Demand release on January 9th, 2018.

Check out this super cool hairstyle that Heather from Bloggin’ Mamas styled on her daughter’s hair! This is a look based on Applejack, a braided ponytail! So much fun re-creating this look and it’s so adorable. You can re-create this hairstyle too, using the below tutorial!

#PonytailTuesday Hairstyle Challenge!

Applejack Braided Pony Style How-To:

Applejack loves to be outside. She’s honest, friendly and sweet to the core! Her friends know they can always count on her and her honesty. Her affinity towards hair accessories inspired this look. One of Snip-its Haircuts for Kids’ favorite party styles, the “One Trick Pony” gets upgraded when 3 color streaks are added. Great for party and play, your little princess will love this look and the pony who inspired it.

What You’ll Need:

  • Comb
  • A handful of bobby pins
  • 2 – plastic binders
  • Colored Hair Chalk (3 different colors)
  • Snip-its Tangle Tamer Detangling Spray
  • Snip-its Morning Miracle Mousse Styling Spray
  • Snip-its Amazin’ Spray & Stay Hairspray

Applejack Braided Pony Styling Tips:

  1. Start with clean, detangled hair. Snip-its Tangle Tamer is a quick, easy and tear-free solution to any tangles and snarls.
  2. Part off a triangle section in the front and top section of the hair and pin this hair out of your way.
  3. Take the remainder of the hair and put it in a high ponytail with a plastic binder.
  4. Now take the hair out of the triangle section and apply the hair chalk to this section before doing a loose, 3-strand braid—finishing with another plastic binder.
  5. Apply a spritz of Snip-its Amazin’ Spray & Stay Hairspray just to the top braided section to seal in the color.
  6. Attach this braid to the ponytail, wrapping it around the plastic band, and attaching with a few bobby pins underneath.
  7. Take just the top section of the ponytail and divide it into 3-equal parts.
  8. Add a different hair chalk color streak to each of the divided, top section parts—one color per divided, top section part.
    TIP: Repeating the color you used in the braid for the middle section, will make it look like one color streak continuing all the way through the style.
  9. Teasing the ponytail a bit from underneath shows of the color more. Use Snip-its Morning Miracle Mousse Styling spray to create the desired look and eliminate any flyaways.
  10. Finish by sealing the color with a few pumps of Snip-its Amazin’ Spray & Stay Hairspray.

Hair Chalk Tips:

Kid-friendly hair chalk lasts 3 or 4 days. It’s temporary enough to switch up the colors and designs frequently – your little ones can use their imagination and express themselves without any permanency.

  • Wetting the section of hair you’re going to color will help enhance the hue and get more chalk into the hair shaft.
  • Seal in the chalk with hairspray to get the longest lasting color.
  • Protective clothing and plastic gloves will help keep the color off you whilst applying. It will also easily wash off with soap and water if you do get any on you.

Stop by a Snip-its salon to meet our Kids Hair Experts and learn about trends, how-tos and the perfect hair care for your kiddos. We Speak Kid and can’t wait for your little one’s Haircut Adventure to begin.

Enter to Win This Adorable Prize Package From Hummel Gifts!

November 6, 2017 by Leave a Comment

M.I. Hummel is a company that has been making beautiful figurines for decades, yet they continue to produce new, gorgeous figurines that are perfect for anyone to collect and enjoy. My son thought it was so cool that the founder, Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, was an artist and taught children even after becoming a nun. I love the handmade quality of the Hummel figurines – each piece sculpted by a master sculptor, carefully molded, and hand painted. It’s rare to have such high-quality art pieces in our disposable society so I love that about Hummel. You can learn more about the history of M.I Hummel at https://hummelgifts.com/blog/the-mi-hummel-story/.  I also think it’s cool when their figurines incorporate a blend of traditional motifs and modern flair like my figurine, Moonbeam, an Annual Angel that features a glittering Swarovski crystal moon clutched in the charming angel’s hand. How adorable is that?

Hummel Gifts Moonbeam Annual Angel

Hummel is known for their beautiful tradition of angel figurines, which are some of my favorites. I love the Annual Angels, a Series of figurines that Hummel produces a new piece for each year. This year’s angel is called Angel of Faith and is the first of three in a mini-series featuring the Three Divine Virtues. These angels are unique Hummel figurines as they feature gold-dipped wings. The next two years will feature Hope and Love making this the perfect time to begin your own Hummel collection!

Hummel Gifts Angel of Faith Annual Angel

Of course when it comes to the holiday season, one naturally thinks of angels. I love Heavenly Angel which comes in a large 13” tall figurine as part of the Masterpiece Collection and there is a 4.25” size of the same figurine design. Shining Light is another gorgeous angel helping to illuminate your way this winter season.

Hummel Gifts Shining Light

In addition to the incredible figurines Hummel is known for, they also have some other products that feature angel motifs. These include candles, napkins, tin postcards, water globes, and the 2018 Hummel calendar.

Win New GRAB-AND-GO BITES

November 2, 2017 by 45 Comments

The Gluten Free Bar (GFB), a leading brand for fun and flavorful gluten-free snacks, is paving the way in the growing gluten-free “cluster” category with its new line of GFB Bites.

Each bite-sized treat is non-GMO Project® Certified, Certified Vegan, soy-free, dairy-free and Certified Gluten-Free. What really sets GFB Bites apart in a crowded functional food category is taste; the Bites balance just the right amount of soft and chewy texture with crunch and flavors that make them a completely unique snacking experience. Without compromising on ingredients or honest nutrition, the protein-packed Bites were developed with meaningful flavors, such as tart cherry, dark chocolate, toasted coconut, sun-sweetened fruit, and various nuts that provide flavor depth and protein function.

gluten free snacks

“We’re two brothers who get along well with each other, but not with gluten,” said Elliot Rader, Co-Founder and Partner at GFB. “Our goal is to create fun and flavorful gluten-free snacks for everyone – after all, eating is something we do each day so let’s enjoy it. The development of Bites has been an exciting transition into the cluster category. We basically combined the nutrition of a protein bar with the decadence of a truffle. No other cluster in the category does this and we’re excited to share the Bites with our customers.”

As pioneers in the gluten-free cluster category, GFB has created a product perfect for all snacking occasions: fun family road trips, a quick and delicious breakfast with your morning coffee at work, and much more. GFB Bites can be found at leading regional stores, top national stores, and popular health food stores.

Glow in the Dark Fun With Super Wubble Brite!

October 30, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Wubble Ball. As always, opinions are my own.

You have seen me write about the Super Wubble Bubble Balls before – but now they have a NEW fun Wubble that glows in the dark! The Super Wubble Brite is the newest creation in the line of Wubble Balls. I mean who doesn’t want to play with a huge, light-up bubble?

Super Wubble Brite

Just the idea of the Wubble balls are pure genius! Frank, a father of four children, is the mastermind behind the Wubble ball. “So one day, while blowing giant bubbles in front of our house, one of my kids said “I hate when my bubbles pop! I wish I could play with them!” I had heard this from all my kids over the years, time and time again. But this time, I really took it to heart because my two little ones truly looked disappointed that they couldn’t actually play with their bubbles. And so began the quest to make this wish come true.”

The Super Wubble Brite is made of even stronger material than the original Super Wubbles. Whether playing with it indoors or outdoors, you can kick it, whack it, throw it, bounce it, or sit on it. It floats, wobbles, dribbles, spins, and smashes. Plus, deflate it for storage until you’re ready to play again.

Super Wubble Brite

It also includes a flashing light for glow-in-the dark fun! Simply press the button on the light to illuminate the Super Wubble Brite ball. The ball will flash for a total of 20 seconds before the light will stop and need to be pressed again. The Super Wubble Brite ball looks really cool lit up at night and is a lot of fun to play with in the dark.

Not only can the kids have a blast with this ball for hours, it can be done inside or outside. And with winter hot on our heels, having something fun and entertaining that can be played with inside and isn’t a video game is great for parents. Plus, these Wubble balls are affordable enough to make great gifts for the upcoming holiday season!

Super Wubble Brite

Wubbles can be kicked, thrown, bounced, and sat on. They’re super strong and able to withstand even the rowdiest bunch of kids. You can find Wubbles in a few different versions. Super Wubble, Water Wubble, Wubble Brite, Wubble X, and Tiny Wubble are all guaranteed to entertain kids (and adults) for hours.

The Super Wubble Brite brings the Wubble to an entirely new level. It lights up red, green, and blue from the inside for hours of entertainment both indoors and outdoors. It’s super fun to play with at night – imagine the game of Dodgeball you could get going with it! How about a Wubble Dance party? The adults would have just as much fun as the kids!

Super Wubble Brite

Kids popped the ball? No problem! You can even repair it with the patch kit. The Super Wubble Brite is for ages 6 and up. The giant size and squishy feel of the ball will be hard for any kid and adult to pass up. The ball looks and feels cool, especially when the lights are going and you’re playing a game of catch in the dark.
