Hana Elite Flat Iron Giveaway

I'm so excited about this giveaway! I can't say enough about the difference between "regular" flat irons and professional flat irons! I'm normally a CHEAPIE. But ceramic flat irons are one of the few things I think are worth spending the extra money on. This model normally sells for $359.99 (ouch) but is on sale right now for $229.00. I've tried MANY different brands and I can honestly say Hana is by far my favorite and worth every penny. I actually own this exact model (the Hana Elite) and have been using it on an almost daily basis.

Now this is a little embarrassing, eek. But, I wanted to show you how great this flat iron really does work!

*This first picture is my lovely hair in it's natural state. (Aren't you glad you're not me?) I wasn't blessed with perfectly straight/manageable hair like our princess. No, I was blessed with frizzy/wavy/puffy/out of control hair. (Thanks, Mom!) I'm so glad flat irons were invented.
*The second picture was taken after running the flat iron through my hair, nothing else. Much better, right?

This last one was done by turning the ends under a little, for a slightly different look.

Of course flat irons aren't just for straightening. When I use the flat iron on me, it's to straighten. When I use it on the princess, it's to curl her hair. (Because you always want the kind of hair you don't have, right?)

Here's the specs, for all you techies.......
Features:
Adjustable Heat
140-450° F
100% Ceramic
Smoothest Plates, Best Heat Distribution/Retention
Damp to Dry
Safe Damp Styling
Tourmaline Infused Heating Elements
Most Effective Use of Tourmaline
2 Year Warranty

Now, onto the Giveaway! One reader will win their very own Hana Elite Flat Iron from Misikko. Also Included: Travel Pouch, Heat Proof Silicone Mat and Tin Case. (Btw, I love the heat proof mat.) It's nice to be able to set it down without worrying about the counter being burned!

Giveaway! Vaseline Sheer Infusion Lotion

This contest is now closed. The winner has been announced here.

New Vaseline® Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3 body lotion is a breakthrough in moisturizing technology that delivers superior moisture** across all skin’s layers of skin.*

Stratys-3, the most powerful, patented moisturizing complex on the market,**combines three ingredients that infuse and suspend moisture across the skin’s top, core and deep down layers.* This results in unprecedented hydration leading to better, more healthy moisturized skin and an unmatched silky skin feel. Clinical studies show that more hydration leads to improved skin softness, smoothness and quicker elimination of dry skin.

Vaseline sent The Princess and I some lotion to try and we've been using it for the past few weeks. We live in a dry, desert like climate, so lotion is pretty much a necessity around here. We go through a lot of lotion!! This lotion has been great to keep our skin soft and smooth. Plus, it smells great!

Vaseline® Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3 is available in three varieties: Botanical Blend, Vitamin Burst, and Mineral Renewal.

One of our readers will win a bottle of each variety (a set of 3, shown above)!

To enter: I'm making it easy on you this time! Just leave a comment on this post, that's it. One comment per person, please.

The random winner will be drawn next Friday (October 30.) Please leave a way for me to contact you in your comment if you don't have a blog.

Campus Quilt Company Review/Giveaway!

This contest is now closed. The winner has been announced here.

Campus quilt company makes quilts from your t-shirts, sweatshirts, ties, socks, hats, baby outfits, and any other memorable fabric.

We've had the Princess's baby blessing dress and shoes sitting in a box in our basement for almost 6 years now! I've been wanting to display them somehow, but just never have gotten around to it.

Look how cute our quilt from Campus Quilt Company turned out! I am beyond excited about this!! (So much better than our cute little dress sitting in a box somewhere, agreed?)

A close up of the embroidery.........

Here's a little peek into the Princess's room. I'm going to hang this quilt on the wall right there next to her bed. I plan on surprising the Princess with this adorable quilt on Christmas morning. I can't wait!! (If you know us irl, don't say anything to her, k?) Now I just need to keep her off of the blog until then so the surprise won't be ruined!
I would highly recommend this quilt company! It was so great working with them on this project. A few days after I placed the order, a kit arrived in the mail with clear instructions on what they needed to get started. The form was very detailed and simple to fill out, so I wasn't worried about not getting exactly what I wanted. Next, I boxed up the dress and instructions in the provided pre-paid shipping envelope and dropped it off at UPS. I was in contact with the company off and on the whole time they were working on the quilt (about 2 weeks.) Then, before the finished quilt was sent back to me, I was sent an email to confirm my shipping address and was given a UPS tracking number. I loved the customer service and contact I received throughout the entire process, very impressive. (Not to mention the quilt is absolutely beautiful!)

Here's a few examples of the types of quilts they offer.......

If you have digital photos lying around, they can even make you a quilt using your photos from a disk. That would be an awesome keepsake!

Now, who wants one of these fun quilts?? One of our readers will be winning a $150 gift certificate to campus quilt company!

1. Head over to campus quilt company and look around at some of the examples of the awesome quilts they have made. Then come back here and tell me what YOU would use if you were to have them make a quilt (t shirts, baby clothes, photos, etc.)
