Whirl-A-Style Hairstyler Review

Growing up I used to wear my hair up about 90% of the time. My hair is straight, fine and used to be down to my behind. My mom would braid it or put it up in a ponytail, anything to keep it out of my eyes and up for school and figure skating. Nowadays my hair is much shorter (over a year ago I cut of 14 inches!) but I still like to wear it up a lot especially at work.

Just recently I had the opportunity to try out a Styling product that will do just that. It will keep your hair up in a nice updo and is quick and easy for the average mom on the go. It is called Whirl-A-Style hairstyler, and is a 30 second updo product. I will admit the first handful of times I tried it out, I had a hard time to get it in right and my hair up. Either it was too lose or too tight. Once you get the hang of it, it is a quick 30 second updo that will hold all day. I wore it to work over the weekend for 12 hrs and it stayed put the whole day. I love how nice it hold your hair up. I haven't tried any other styles other than a basic bun but I am hoping to play around with it this week. Their website has how-to's for a bunch of different styles and they are all are for the average women. I recommend trying this product out if you like a nice neat bun or french roll. It's great for people who are active and on the go either with sports, work or just life. I also really like after my hair is up all day, I take out the Whirl-A-Style and I have nice wavy hair great for a date night!

Here is a picture of it in my daughter's hair, who also has fine hair.

And you have to see the front because she was not in a good mood that day.. hahaha it had nothing to do with the Whirl-A-Style hairstyler, she just didn't want to go outside.

A How- to video is available to show you how to use the Whirl-A-Style. Also check out this neat feature where Zania will create a style for you when enter a profile.  

Where to Buy: You can Shop Online they cost $10 US. You can also find locations near you that sell Whirl-A-Style.

From the Publisher:

Now 50 years young, fitness guru Denise Austin shows readers how to super-charge their lives, using her innovative lifestyle plan. She eats the right foods at the right time of day. She uses the power of stretching and breathing to feed her body with energy-enhancing oxygen. She uses mini-workouts to get energy even on her busiest days--and now you can too!

In as little as a week, results will be felt: radiant skin, more restful sleep, and a sharper mind...so follow Denise Austin and prepare for a fitness wake-up call!

Review:
I was very excited to read Denise Austin's new book Get Energy. I have been lacking energy for sometime now and this couldn't come at a better time. A start of a new year and a new you! This book is not a workout or diet book it's all about finding out where your energy can be drained and fixing it along with some nice stretches to help. Denise talks about changing your outlook on life and learning to find a balanced life (something I really need to find). She talks about not over doing it and taking time for yourself, a deep breath and a great stretch really does help when you need an energy boost. There are tips on eating to boost energy and a 14 day pep plan that I really need to put into place as soon as possible. I think if one applies Denise's tips one would have much more energy for each day. Now just to find time to put a plan into place. This book has been a great book on pointing out there are so many ways that you don't even think of that drain your energy in day to day life. It really was a good read.

Where to Connect: Check out Denise Austin on Twitter, Facebook and on her own website DeniseAustin.com. Also you can download Denise Austin's app.

Roundabouts Cupcake Sleeves Review and Giveaway!

Roundabouts Cupcake Sleeves was started by a busy mom of two who began selling these online in February of 2009. They are wraps for cupcakes that transform your standard cupcake into pretty much anything you can imagine.

All you do is use toppings easily found at the grocery or local party supply or dollar store, the self-adhesive cupcake wrappers instantly transform cupcakes into gumball machines, sushi, popcorn tubs (really neat) or the ones I got to review Hamburgers!

The wraps are resistant to grease, are earth friends and wipe clean if things get a bit messy while making them. They can also be easily reused by using a dab of frosting to adhere them a second time.

Roundabouts have 70+ Designs/Themes to choose from. The possibilities are endless. They can be personalized and customized. Roundabouts Cupcake Sleeves have been featured in Rachel Ray Magazine and are proud winners of the Most Innovative Exhibitor Award at the 2010 July CA Gift Show in Los Angeles.

Review:  When I saw these for the first time I thought "Wow those look neat but I'm sure they are hard to use". They really do look like Hamburgers. I was very excited to try them out. The price to me is a bit high but if you consider what you would pay to have a cake made at a bakery or grocery store, they are not that bad. I tried to make the icing from the color code on the instruction but mine turned green instead of brown. So I made a peanut butter icing. My icing still turned out a little lighter than I would like but I really didn't mind it. My daughter helped get the cupcakes ready to be wrapped. We were making them for daddy's birthday! They are really easy to use. Bake cupcake, top and wrap. The first one I had abit of trouble just to figure out how to hold it and wrap but the second one was much either. These make great conversation pieces for sure and would be great for any party! I would use these again for sure. I like how they can be reused also with just a dab of frosting the second time around.

 

Where to Buy: You can purchase Roundabouts on their website Roundaboutsleeves.com price starting at $8.99 for a pack of 12 sleeves.

Where to Connect: Roundabouts on Twitter or on Facebook.
