Mama Palooza- Bed Head High-Def Spirals Curling Iron Giveaway

CLOSED

Congratulations! Winner  #76 Erin

Mother's Day is just around the corner and Bed Head would like to give all the mama's out there a chance to win one of their awesome styling products.

The High-Def Spirals by Bed Head uses Tourmaline Ceramic Technology to produce frizz free and shiny spiral curls to your hair. This curling iron has multiple heat settings and an auto shut off both of which I think are very important features for a hair appliance to have. Want to see this curling iron in action? Check out the video here!

This makes me wish I had long hair. Bed Head's High-Def Spirals Curling Iron can be purchased on Amazon and Ulta. Be sure  to become a fan of Bed Head Styling Products on Facebook for sneak peeks on new items and promotions.

Girly Girl reader Anna-Banana says "I lost my mom in 2007 but my major memory and something that was very special about her was as a child she and I always baked together. We always made cookies and cakes and I think I own my skills in that area now to her quiet patience while I learned to bake."

Mama Thoughts

Girly Girl reader SondraMama says "What does it mean to be a mother? Love, care, compassionate, trust, friendship, closeness, cuddling, listening, & being there for your kids. When I was growing up, I didn't have anybody to care for me, or hold me when I needed it. I didn't have a mother to stand by my side or to let me do what interests me. As a mother myself, I am doing the opposite of when I grew up in. I cuddle my kids, I hug them and tell them multiple times a day how much I love them. I smile for them all day long. I stand by my oldest sons side and make sure he will come to me for anything."

Mama Palooza Tangle Teezer Giveaway (two winners)

CLOSED

Winner - #24 Amanda & #9 Kris

My second-born daughter, Abigail, has beautiful wavy hair. But she also has a very sensitive scalp and brushing her hair always results in a meltdown because brushes hurt her poor little head. I began a search for the best brushes out there for tangly, hard-to-brush hair and sensitive scalps. And that is when I found Tangle Teezer!

This unique brush has bristles designed to minimize damage to the hair cuticles while leaving hair lustrous and shiny. The bristles flex and are not hard like most other brushes. You can apply pressure on the brush which can also give you a wonderful head massage, even on sensitive scalps. Tangle Teezer sent us a hot pink brush to try out on Abigail's sensitive scalp.

Abigail was absolutely thrilled when her new hair-friendly brush arrived. I think it's unique, sleek design is also really attractive and is easy to hold onto. It is my number one pick for brushing my toddler's baby fine hair (Zoë is my 18-month-old and she always grabs the Tangle Teezer for me to brush her hair because it feels good). This brush gets the job done and minimizes the tears. It is not just for children either! This brush is for you whether your hair is fine or thick, wavy or straight, sensitive or not.

Look at this super cute flower-pot Tangle Teezer for little girls!

You can now purchase Tangle Teezers at your local Sally Beauty Supply store (in the USA) or order online.

WIN IT:
Two lucky winners will each one one Tangle Teezer (they'll be a surprise color)!

Mama Palooza- Gourmet Gift Baskets Review and Giveaway

CLOSED

Congratulations! Winner  #114 Lola G

When it comes to giving gifts on Birthdays, Holidays, or just because my go to present is very often some form of gift basket or care package. I love this type of gift because they can be personalized to anyone's likes. I like putting special goodies together that I know the person receiving them will enjoy. Gourmet Gift Baskets has done the hard part of deciding what to put in your gift basket for you. They have a variety of gift packages to fit anyone's tastes. Need to find something for a chocolate lover? They have it! Looking for a baby shower gift? No problem! Want to get mom a a relaxing spa package this Mother's Day? Oh the choices! They even have some great care packages that are jam packed with treats that are sure to please just about anyone. I was given the opportunity to choose one of these care packages to review and after much deliberating I chose the Junk Food Care Package.

OK in all honesty I did not have a hard time deciding what care package to choose. I mean look at the photo above. Who doesn't want a secret stash of "go to" junk food? I was very pleased with my selection when I received it. This Junk Food Care Package not only contained some of my favorite snacks but it also had items that my little girl Penelope enjoys as well as some of my husbands favorites. Trust me there is a lot of stuff in this one care package so sharing wasn't an issue for me.

Want to know what I think would make a great gift for mom this Mother's Day? This Junk Food Care Package from Gourmet Gift Baskets along with a subscription to Netflix or a couple of good flicks. This stash makes for some tasty movie snacks.

These care packages from Gourmet Gift Baskets are also the perfect gift for that friend or loved one that lives far away from you. You don't have to deal with the hassle of packaging the gift and shipping it, everything is done for you. I love this, since I live in Alaska and almost all my family is in the lower 48, it's such a convenient gift!

Go check out Gourmet Gift Baskets for more gift ideas this Mother's Day!

One of you Girly Girl readers will win the same Junk Food Care Package I received.
