The 5-Day Treasure Hunt will be super-fun! You will receive one email a day for 5 days. Each email will contain a clue. Each clue you find will earn you an entry to win a gorgeous small Anchor Flexi clip! And EVERYONE who finds ALL 5 clues will get a prize of a super-soft drawstring microfiber bag for holding jewelry, eyeglasses, Flexi clips, personal items, or whatever you want to put in it!

The party will run Monday, June 24 – Friday, June 28.

Can You Cut Your Own Hair? Tutorial and Tips!

May 22, 2019 by Laura 2 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

Want to save money by cutting your own hair? Afraid you’ll mess something up? What if it’s easier than you think? Check out this awesome tutorial from Paula, our very own Lilla Rose consultant!

Here’s what Paula has to share about how to Cut Your Own Hair…

I am so excited to share with you an ultra-simple, super-quick way to cut your hair in beautiful layers!

You can easily cut your daughter’s or even your own hair in only 5 minutes!

You may never go to the salon again!

BEFORE: MY DAUGHTERS PRE-CUT HAIR

how to cut your own hair

Meet my daughter! As you can see from the photo, her hair is thick with a slight wave. Hair with waves is easier to cut, since imperfections are less noticeable. However, with care this method will work on very straight hair as well!

Just tried this on myself. So simple! I can’t believe I’d never heard of this before. So glad to have found this!!” -MrsMcAteer

STEP 1. COMB: SMOOTH ALL YOUR HAIR FORWARD

how to cut your own hair

Here is how to cut your own hair in five minutes:

First, wash and condition the hair, then comb it all from underneath, smoothing everything to the front.

This is brilliant. I just tried it and am really pleased with the result. I’d been wanting to get my hair cut again, but couldn’t afford to. I don’t think I’ll ever need to pay a hair-dresser again. Thank you.” -Shelley

STEP 2. PONYTAIL: SECURE AT THE FRONT

how to cut your own hair

Next, gather it all into a ponytail on the forehead, securing with a ponytail holder.

If you usually wear your hair parted to one side, then position the ponytail on that side, directly in front of where your part would be.

Tip:

The more you pull the hair forward, the more layers you will have. The pony at the top of the head would give you longer layers, and not as many.

STEP 3. CUT: STRAIGHT ACROSS THE END

how to cut your own hair

Then, making sure the hair is all combed out as smoothly as possible, and using your fingers as a guide, either just cut straight across the ends, or use little vertical snips to cut across the ends.

Done!

Simple, right?

Comb out, and you’re done!* That’s it!

  • Easy!
  • Five Minutes!
  • Incredibly beautiful results!

*The “after” photo was color edited, but the curls are all natural. The new layers brought out the curls, with a little spray gel and light scrunching.

How to Save Your Winter Dry Skin

March 22, 2019 by Laura 2 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

Sure, spring officially arrived a few days ago. Yes, the sun is shining now from time to time. But tell that to our winter dry skin. I, for one, still need some help.

And who am I kidding? I’ll need help for dry skin all year ’round. I don’t go a day without my BeeSilk Hard Lotion Bar and that’s the truth. I keep them in the bathroom, in my purse, and in the diaper bag (ha, didn’t see that coming! why, hello beautiful world of foster care!). I send lotion bars to the dorm with my oldest sons. I make sure we have a nice supply on hand at all times.

Want to know something cool? I was first introduced to MadeOn products in 2011 (I had no idea it was that long ago!). But Renee and I started talking about putting a FREEBIE deal (see below!!) together for you, and she found and posted this. <—I wrote those words when I was in my 30’s (pauses for laughter). Eight beautiful years later, my hands and I are still going strong.

I’m going to tell you something big:

There are very few companies that I worked with back in 2011 that I am still working with now. I may have liked and promoted a product or service for a company or business back in the day, but then what they had to offer didn’t hold my attention or continue to meet my needs.

But after all these years, MadeOn BeeSilk Hard Lotion is still my go-to product for skin care. NOTHING else keeps my hands from cracking and bleeding in the winter. BeeSilk works beautifully. And what’s even better?

BeeSilk is made from 3 simple ingredients.

Beeswax, Shea Butter, and Coconut Oil.

They are blended perfectly to rub on my dry skin, and the product is so healing! So simple. So nourishing.

I’m actually kind of scared of other skin products now. What are those ingredients? Why are they necessary? How do you pronounce that? What will that stuff actually do to me?

So I skip looking at other stuff and I keep using MadeOn.

It is also worth noting that while BeeSilk Lotion Bars are my favorite of all their products, our family also uses their Lip Balms and Bug Block. MadeOn is my go-to shop for skin care. Renee, founder and owner, makes it easy – a no brainer!

Well, all that to say…

Renee from MadeOn is working with me to give you all a FREE BeeSilk Pocket Lotion Bar! After all, to celebrate 10 years of business, they’re trying to get their BeeSilk Bars into 10,000 hands this in 2019. I want to help them!

Click here to see the sales page she set up just for us! You’ll get more information about their products, and then she shares 3 incredible offers.

Use the code HEAVENLYBEESILK to get $7.75 off your order!

The code HEAVENLYBEESILK will do one of three things for you:

  1. Give you a FREE BeeSilk Pocket Bar if you choose Option 1 (cost for the bar will be $0.00 and you’ll only have to pay shipping).
  2. Give you $7.75 off a BeeSilk 3-Pack, which includes a pocket bar, a regular bar, and a lip balm.
  3. Give you $7.75 off an already discounted BeeSilk Variety Pack – with FREE SHIPPING! ($47.17 total for the entire package!)

Choice #3 gives you the best bang for your buck (I jumped on it immediately!!). You get 6 wonderful products – already discounted 20% – plus you take $7.75 off, PLUS you get FREE SHIPPING. And then you end up with a whole package of awesome BeeSilk products!

No matter which option you choose, I strongly suggest you at least give MadeOn products a try. How wonderful to have a chance to grab a free BeeSilk Bar to experience! Or to use the big discount toward even more products!

This offer ends Wednesday, March 27, 2019.

FREE Seventh Generation Diapers – For Real!

February 21, 2019 by Laura 4 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

We’ve currently got a most precious 3-month old Boy Babe in our home. Lack of sleep aside, he is every bit a delight!

Therefore, when I saw this offer for FREE diapers, I jumped on it!! Care to jump too? I’m mean, it’s FREE DIAPERS!! Even if you don’t need these at your house, take advantage of this and give them to someone with a baby! (Don’t know anyone with a baby? Send them to me. ;) Or give them to a homeless shelter or your local crisis pregnancy center.)

How to Get a FREE Pack of Diapers

Step 1:  
Click Here to Get Started.  Join TopCashback and signup for a FREE account if you haven’t already. (Laura’s note: I’ve enjoyed TopCashBack for years. They are legit and always give me the refunds they’ve promised! This is my referral link.)

  • Important: Check your email to confirm your email address. Click on the link in your email to authenticate your new account.

Step 2:
Click on the pink “Get Offer Now” Button

Step 3:
Add Seventh Generation Baby Diapers from Walmart to your cart for $9.97 or more and head to checkout. You must spend at least $9.97 to get this deal.

  • Do not close the window, open any new tabs, or use non-TopCashback approved coupons while checking out.
  • Select Free Pick-up + Free Shipping on orders $35+

Step 4:
Pay $9.97 or more. That’s it! The $11.99 will post to your TopCashback account within 14 days, and the amount will become payable. Cash back can be credited straight to your checking or PayPal account.

Then go pick up your free diapers!

It really is that easy.

If you don’t want to mess with a trip to Walmart to pick these up, simply add enough other needed items to your cart so that you receive free shipping directly to your door!

The fine print:

Transactions must contain at least $9.97 worth of purchases to ensure the $11.99 cash back is credited to TopCashback accounts. Transactions may initially track lower, but within the 14 days after purchase it will be uplifted and turn payable at the amount of $11.99. Transactions may take up to 7 days to appear in your TopCashback account. The deal is open until 11:59pm PST on 02/24/2019 or until supplies run out; whichever happens first; applicable for purchases made directly after clicking through TopCashback. Only one TopCashback account is permitted per member. Cannot be combined with other TopCashback freebie offers.

Go grab your free diapers!

I’m Trying Out Brandless Groceries. Here’s $6 So You Can Try Too!

October 23, 2018 by Laura 4 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

Have you heard of Brandless? It’s new to me, but I finally tried it today and wanted to share my experience so far!

First, let me say that I saw that they offer a 10-ounce jar of Organic Coconut Oil for $3. That was the first to go into my cart. Obviously.

Then, I saw that everything they offer is only $3. Okay then.

Next, I realized that if I ordered $39 worth of groceries, I would get free shipping. Perfect.

Certainly, I had a blast filling my cart with 13 items which scored me free shipping! Beautiful.

Then at check out, they gave me a code to get a free bottle of hand soap. Bonus.

Last but not least, I received a link to share with you so that YOU can get automatic free $6 credit on YOUR first order of $39! Amazing.

I ordered a big variety of ingredients, snacks to take to soccer and basketball games, and did I mention $3 coconut oil? I can’t believe all I got for $39!

My first box of Brandless items should be here in just a few days. I’ll be sure to come back and share my impression of the products. BUT, the fine print tells me (if I understood it correctly) that only the first 25 of you who make your purchase through this link will receive the $6 credit on your first $39 order. So I’d hurry over and grab credit today while it’s available!

I am very impressed with the prices Brandless is offering. That’s why I decided to give it a try. Almost all of the products are organic, and it is my understanding that the quality is top notch. For now, I’ll wait patiently for my first Brandless box to arrive on my porch. (Free shipping rocks!)

Go get your $6 to try Brandless!

The link I’m sharing is my referral link. You get $6 credit. I get $6 credit. Then you can get a referral link too so you can earn grocery credit!
