monday giveaway: $15 Lilla Rose gift certicate + a thirty-one tote

I'm so excited to start Monday off with a bang! :D Free stuff makes Mondays rock a little more, doesn't it?

I think so!

I want to introduce you to one of my newest sponsors:

sweet Caroline Allen, from Lilla Rose and the Modest Mom!

Here’s a little more about her {I stole this from her blog because I love it and it sounds so familiar!}: “I am my sweetheart's wife and mama to five children age 8 and under. When I'm not homeschooling, cooking meals, changing diapers, or doing yet another load of laundry, you will find me here as I share my heart concerning modesty, femininity, and mothering.”

I think she’s so sweet! She’s super-talented too- she runs two shops and a blog, while keeping her full house running! :D

one of her shops is Simply Beautiful, a Lilla Rose business!

She sells these lovely hair clips that hold your hair without causing a hair headache- and even better, they look beautiful while they do it! :D They are known best for their flexi-clips that come in all sizes, but they also have hair bands, pins, and more to go with them. I just love these two flexi-clips:

So I was so excited when she wanted to send me one to try for myself:

It’s the large flexi-clip for thick hair. And the pin doesn’t come off, so I don’t have to worry about losing it. Yay!

It even came with visual directions:

I did the ponytail:

and the half- back:

This was my favorite way to wear it, because I do this with bobby pins all the time:

So much easier!

I loved it!! I have very thick hair, so regular spring clips don’t work very well for me. They won’t stay closed. But this flexi-clip went right over my hair, and it stayed in place. And my favorite part- when I go to take it off, my hair doesn’t get stuck like it does in a ponytail! I was thrilled with it!!

 

Caroline also runs the Modest Mom! She’s such a talented lady!

If you’re looking for anything from skirts and blouses to beautiful nursing covers and lovely belts.

 

My favorite item is the sailor skirt:

I could so see it with a cute mustard tank, layered with lots of fun beaded necklaces and a funky vintage hair scarf or this lilla rose hairband:

so much fun! :D

I’m so excited- Caroline has graciously offered a fun giveaway for you guys!

She’s giving away $15 worth of products from Lilla Rose! :D

 

you can win one:

$15 Lilla Rose gift certificate

 

and I couldn’t resist adding this beauty to go with that {because what girl doesn’t love some sweet accessories!}… so you’ll get the shopping money

and this lovely thirty-one tote!

 

 

Yay for Mondays, right? :D
