Gratituesday: Summer to Winter Clothes (Plus our Lilla Rose Winner)

It used to be one of my most dreaded projects. We have several tubs of clothes up in our attic. Every fall and every spring we lug them down, finding what fits which boy each year. While I’ve been ridiculously thankful for the amount of clothes we’ve had for our boys – most of them hand me downs – the chore of switching out clothes for the season was always long and exhausting.

This year though? I am reminded how nice it is to have children old enough to be such a huge help. We had the entire job done – from lugging down containers, to switching out clothes, to lugging them all back up – in one hour. One hour.  Hallelujah!

This job used to take me two entire days. That was back when the kids “helped” by resorting my piles thirty times, throwing shirts at each other, trying on clothes that were way too big or too small…you know the drill. I loved that everyone just got right to it, got it done, and moved on with the day.

Best news of all:  I did not have to be the one to go into the attic. I’m not a fan of the attic. It has a little something to do with a bird attack I experienced a few years back. I now put on my pitiful face and beg one of my boys to do the dirty work. Love these boys!

This pile of clothes is heading to our bi-annual clothing exchange this weekend.

I’m so thankful God continues to provide plenty of clothing for my family – especially as their legs keep getting LONGER. Wow. I’m thrilled to have this task behind us for the year, and as much as I love summer, I will admit that it’s fun to pull out warm sweaters for this fall season!

Why do I love Lilla Rose Flexi-Clips? They are incredibly easy to use – it takes me less than a minute to pull my hair back into a clip. They are pretty – a huge perk for something so practical. They are better for your hair – no pulling or hair breaking. They save money – I’ve worn the same clip almost every day for years. No more having to purchase hair bands that stretch out after just a couple uses!

What has your experience been with Flexi-Clips? Love em like I do??

Lilla Rose Giveaway Plus How To Get a Free Flexi-Clip

June 18, 2014 by Laura 256 Comments

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

It’s no secret how much I love my Lilla Rose Flexi-Clips. I wear them almost daily, especially in the summer. They are super easy to use, super pretty, and super easy on the hair. I love how strong my Flexi-Clips are, and how long they last (as in, forever). The clips never pull or tug or give me a ponytail headache.

What’s really fun is that many of the Flexi-Clips have matching headbands. Wear the headband alone, wear the flexi alone, or wear them at the same time. So beautiful!! I can’t stop staring at the photos below:

Isn’t that a gorgeous set? Paula at Lilla Rose is giving this set away to one of you (girl with lovely hair not included). ;)  Here’s what you’ll win:

Keep Your Hair Healthy! {Plus a Lilla Rose Flexi-Clip Giveaway}

March 16, 2014 by Laura 366 Comments

A few weeks ago, I sat down in the chair at my hair dresser. Since she always washes my hair before cutting it, she prefers that I don’t wash it before coming in. I pulled my hair out of its Flexi-Clip, shook it out and said, “Here you go. I haven’t washed it since Sunday.” She couldn’t believe it. My hair still had life and bounce, even though I had not shampooed it in four days.

Sundays and Wednesdays. Those are the days I now wash my hair. It’s amazing really. I used to have to wash my hair every day. Then I was able to cut back to every other day. Now the healthier I become, the healthier my hair is. I’m able to only wash it twice a week and be just fine.

I know everyone is different when it comes to how often their hair needs to be washed, so we certainly don’t need to use my head as a standard. :)  But here’s what I’m learning:  Eating healthy food does so much more than just help us to feel better. Our skin and hair can be healthier too, simply because our bodies are being fed great nourishment. Healthy fats, lots of good fruits and vegetables – it all contributes to healthier hair!

I believe washing it less frequently helps maintain its health too. Less blow-drying and curling, less shampoo (even though I use a healthier variety), fewer products with chemicals – it all helps my hair stay healthier. Which leads me to the subject of my Flexi-Clip…

I love that I can pull my hair back in a Flexi-Clip and know that it will not hurt my hair. Rubber bands often break my hair. I’ve had very little breakage since I switched to wearing Flexi-Clips. Plus, they’re pretty. And easy to use. And durable. I’ve been wearing my favorite one for 4 1/2 years!! Talk about getting my money’s worth! Rubberbands get stretched out and become unusable within just a few uses. Flexi-Clips stay good forever.

Paula, our lovely Lilla Rose consultant, is giving a Flexi-Clip to five winners this week! You’ll be able to choose which size will work best for your hair type, and the style will be chosen for you. I’m so excited that not just one, but five of you are going to be blessed with one of these!

Here’s a great video to help you know which size you would need for your hair type:

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

lilla_rose_octLilla Rose Flexi-Clips are my favorite hair accessory! They are pretty, functional, and easy – perfect for those of us who are busy and need a quick hair solution.

Today I have fun news:

1)  Paula from Lilla Rose is giving away a $50 gift certificate to one winner of this giveaway.

2)  From now through Sunday, October 20 Lilla Rose is offering 10% off all items and 15% off select items.

lilla_rose

If you have girls on your Christmas list, or you simply want to invest in high quality hair accessories for you or someone else, this is a great time to stock up! Before I started wearing Flexi-Clips, I went through tons of hair bands. They stretched out quickly, allowing me to only use them a few times before they started pulling my hair. But my Flexi-Clips have been going strong for several years now, making them a great money-saver. Plus, they never pull my hair. I love ’em!

Go check out all that Lilla Rose has to offer. Take advantage of the 10-15% off sale! And come back here to leave a comment letting us know what items you’d pick if you win the $50 gift certificate.

I’ll draw a random winner on Monday, October 21. Be watching for a post stating the winner as you will be responsible for contacting me if your name is chosen.

Want extra entries? Like Paula’s Facebook page and/or subscribe to Paula’s newsletter – then leave an additional comment here letting me know that you did.

And by the way, I don’t just love their Flexi-Clips. I often wear their Bobby Pins. And I finally figured out how to wear their Headbands. (I’m challenged when it comes to hair.)  All their products are great. Having fun shopping with the discount!

Lilla Rose Flexi-Clip Giveaway

March 14, 2013 by Laura 523 Comments

It’s time for another Lilla Rose giveaway! These are always so much fun. :)

I continue to love my Flexi-Clips, wearing them almost daily. Did you see the March Special? It’s so pretty! I’m thinking I should get it to wear to Asa’s basketball games next year, since his team colors are green and white. As a supportive mom up in the stands, I really should be well accessorized and coordinated, don’t you think?! :)

March2013

Just a note about how nice Flexi-Clips are to wear:  I am always amazed each time I pull my hair up in a rubber band for a workout. It doesn’t take long before it starts to pull and hurt my head. But whenever I wear a Flexi-Clip, I can go all day and feel perfectly comfortable. I love this about my Flexi-Clip – not to mention the fact that it’s pretty. :)  Oh, and another thing about rubber bands? They stretch out after I wear them just a few times, so I find that I have to purchase new ones often. But with my Flexi-Clip – I’ve been wearing the same one almost every day for well over two years. It’s a great investment!

I’m not into fancy hairstyles – just a ponytail is how you’ll usually find me. But it’s so much fun to see other fun ways to wear your hair, using either a Flexi-Clip, or any of the other great accessories at Lilla Rose. How pretty is this?

up do sm

Today, I’m excited to share that four winners of this giveaway will receive their choice of Flexi-Clip, or any item valued up to $16. Fun! For a chance to win, leave a comment on this post. For a second entry, look around Paula’s site, then come back and leave a second comment letting us know which Flexi-Clip is your favorite. For a third entry, like Paula’s Lilla Rose Page on Facebook.

I’ll draw four random winners on Monday, March 18. Be watching for a post stating the winners as you will be responsible for contacting me if your name is chosen!
