Lilla Rose Hair Jewelry Review

April 30, 2012 by 2 Comments

I love jewelry. I love hair accessories. I love sparkly things.  What can I say, I’m a girly girl!   Have you heard of Lilla Rose?  I hadn’t either until I was approached to review one of their hair clips.  They are like jewelry pieces for your hair.

 

Lilla Rose’s most popular item is their beautiful Flexi Hair Clip.  They also sell hairbands, bobby pins, hair sticks, and O rings.

Lila Rose

I love my Flexi-Clip!

 

You can use the Flexi-Clip to style your hair at least eight different ways.  I can’t believe how many different styles and sizes of Flexi Clips are possible that even I can do. Amazing!  To help you find which size works well for your hair and your hair style of choice check out this helpful Flexi-Clip video.

Lilla Rose

Aren’t the details simply beautiful!

 

Before I had my darling little girl I had a lot of really fine hair, however, since then my hair has thinned quite a bit.  I have a medium Flexi clip and it’s perfect for a pony tail and a full twist.  Surprisingly it even held in well with the half up hairstyle pictured above.  I love how simple it is to use.  I’m embarrassingly bad at attempting any up-do besides a ponytail and this was a piece of cake.  Seriously.  It doesn’t pull my hair or feel like it’s falling out constantly like barrettes do.  It’s comfortable to wear and looks elegant.  I’m convinced that Lilla Rose products are simply fabulous and I’ll be adding additional Flexi-Clips to my wish list!

-I was so impressed with this kit when it arrived in the mail. I, obviously, read the description prior to ordering, but was still really impressed with the amount of stuff that came in this kit. Great little collection of suncreens, moisturizers, enhancers, and even a gradual self-tanner. The product are great, popular brands and come in very handy travel-sized containers (great for taking along to the beach or vacation!). It’s an absolute steal for the price!

 

-I buy the Sun Safety Kit every year. I am a fair skinned redhead and I need my sunscreen. This is a great way to try different brands and have perfect little travel sizes. This is definitely the best assortment of products I’ve seen in these kits.  The Fresh Lip Balm is amazing …love the smell and texture.

McCormick’s Look Book + Spring Thyme Salmon Recipe

April 23, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Hurry!  McCormick is having a Pinterest contest that is ending tonight!!!  There are some pretty neat baking prizes up for grabs!  Here’s how you can enter:

 

pinspiring contest

 

If you’re like me McCormick is no stranger to your home.  It’s a brand that makes food coloring dye, spices, and pre-measured spice mixtures with recipe cards (such a neat idea!).  McCormick products are a staple in our house.  We have an overflowing spice cabinet with spices for just about every meal imaginable.  Do you need meal inspiration?  If so, check out McCormick’s Look Book that is filled with yummy recipes with gorgeous pictures!

 

Here’s the recipe that I tried:

Spring Thyme Salmon

Makes 4 servings.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Refrigerate Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

1/3 cup tangerine or orange juice (I used OJ)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon McCormick® Thyme Leaves
1 teaspoon McCormick® Mustard, Ground
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Black Pepper, Ground
1 pound salmon fillet

 

1. Mix tangerine juice, oil, thyme, ground mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper in small bowl. Place salmon in large resealable plastic bag or glass dish. Add marinade; turn to coat well.

2. Refrigerate 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove salmon from marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.

3. Broil 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.

 

McCormick Recipe

 

You may have noticed that I substituted salmon for chicken but let me tell you, it was yummy!  I’m anxious to try more of the simple recipe ideas from McCormick’s Look Book.  I’ve already saved a few of my favorites so they’ll be easy to access the next time I need a meal idea.  What are you waiting for?  Go check it out McCormick’s Look Book for yourself; I’m sure you’ll find more than a few recipes you’ll want to try.
