Voodoo Tattoos Gold & Silver Flash Tattoos + Giveaway!

Advertorial

I haven't done a giveaway in awhile and had the opportunity to host one through Tomoson!  Seattle has been sunny lately and you know what that means, Spring is on it's way and time for cute tanks and sho-shorts!  Ok, its not that hot here yet, but its at least warm enough to have some light layers.  One lucky winner chosen at random will win a set of these Goddess Edition Tattoos in Petra to enjoy!  Read through the post for my experience and the rules for the giveaway will be listed below.  

This set comes with 16 tattoos, but some of them you can cut to make individuals, like the feathers fourth from the left.  I thought about how cool that would look if you placed them trailing from your back to your collar bone.  I have seen these types of flash tattoos and thought they looked pretty cool, especially in the summer time pool or beach side. 

Application instructions

Since it isn't necessarily tanktop weather and I wasn't going out anytime soon, I decided to try one of the longer ones as a bracelet.  These do run fairly long, so measure and cut the excess off.  You could even use that little piece for a ring on one of your fingers.   

Placement wise, I didn't want to put it on a crease where it would wear away too quickly and opted to put it just after my wrist crease.  From a distance it looks like a fine link bracelet.   

Decided to add a few more bracelets to the mix and its kind of nice to have a multiple metals in a stack for variety.  It was nice to have a little bit more shine without adding more weight from another bracelet.  I'm excited for warmer weather and bringing these along with me to my next warm destination vacation for some added glam!  There are a ton more choices to choose from on Amazon that will suit your liking.  Be aware that if you have clothing that rubs against your tattoo, it will fade.  Mine is still on after a day, but with a few bare spots.  Also, when bathing, take care not to exfoliate or rub the area where your tattoo is applied.  Now, on to the rules!

1.  Must be U.S. resident (Will be hosting an open international giveaway soon!).

2.  Send me an message (rhondalei@gmail.com) or post it on the comments on why you would love to try these tattoos.

3.  Contest ends Friday 2/27 12:00 AM (PST) Midnight.

4.  Winner will be chosen at random and announced on Friday 2/27.

Commitment To Fitness: Sunny Health & Fitness Mini Stepper with Resistance Bands

My Jawbone UP24 has been keeping me  even more honest about my fitness or rather lack of and I needed something to do at home to help me reach my "Today I Will..." steps goal.  And it has helped!

I joked around getting this but I finally gave in 2 weeks ago. I'll have a more thorough update soon. And yes, I step in my house slippahs. LOL!  

What a wretched feeling!

When someone steals from you. How terrible to think that people can just take the things you have worked so hard to enjoy. It has been a rough end of week, but I am looking up on the bright side and thanking that I am safe. Posts will be limited for now on detailed content until I am back in business to post from a laptop rather than my phone. :/

In poor taste Patriots

The parade celebration shouldn't be to poke fun at the losing team. You're supposed to be classy role models and uphold values as a leader in sports. I would expect this from fans, but not the athletes, especially who are representing world champions. Smh.

Blue Apron Review - Week 11

I will still rave about how great Blue Apron is, but I am tired and cooking for 1 that takes at least 35-45 minutes is a bit much.  I'll probably start doing it 1-2 times a month maybe more if I forget to cancel a week.  LOL!   My favorite for this week was the beef bolognese.  It was fun to make the sauce and I am a sucker for pasta, especially FRESH pasta.  Mmmmm!  If you are interested in trying Blue Apron, let me know!  I still have free meals to send.

Ended up making the soup for lunch hence the to-go presentation!

Xtava 5-in-1 Curling Iron

Advertorial

I have really been into my heated styling tools.  In the last 6 months I have acquired 3 different curling wands, but that's not going to stop me from trying new ones, especially when the opportunity is given to me!  I applied for the Xtava 5-in-1 Curling Iron via Tomoson and was sent one to try.

Its nice that everything fits in the bag!

  

What's included?  The base unit, 3 clip curling irons and 2 curing wands along with the travel bag and instruction booklet.  

First to test was the largest of the clip barrels.  You insert the barrel into the base unit and click over to the right to lock it in.  The arrow did not fully align under the lock sign, but felt secure.

Letting the unit heat up in my Hot Holster.  It takes about 2 minutes for the iron to be hot at maximum temperature.

While that was heating, I applied some CC Cream to my hair that has the function of heat protectant.  Important for my dry, colored hair.

Uggh, its clean clean, just messy.  I usually sleep with my hair wet and wake up like this.  There is some wave to my hair, it just looks unkept to me if I don't style.

You know how you hold the end of a clip curling iron when you are curling to help adjust over the hair and adjust the tension?  Well, I found out the hard way that these irons DO NOT have a cool tip.  I burned my middle and index fingers pretty badly.

I carried around an ice pack to ice my fingers throughout the day.  I work at a computer, so it was pretty painful the rest of the day.  :(

What's missing from this set - a heat protecting glove!  Thankfully I have a few and slipped this on right away after the unfortunate incident.  I still don't get how you can curl your hair WITHOUT touching the tip of the barrel.  Can someone advise?

My hair after.  I curled mainly the ends and did some wavier pieces on the front of my face.  Good to go and off to work!

The next wand to try the next day was the largest of the clip-less wands.  Looks similar in style to my round one.

Fun, loose waves.  I think if I took my time, I could had a bit more curl on the ends.

Next up was the middle clip curling iron.  

Even with my beanie, I needed to do something with my scraggly looking hair.

Better!  I again curled the ends and the front pieces so I looked more polished.  This was on Blue Friday too.  GO HAWKS!

Coming down to my least favorites from this set.  The smaller the wand, I know it is going to look more hot mess on me.

Nothing special about my hair here.  Washed it the day before and blow dried it.  

This was with 1/2" of hair wrapped.  Ummm, looks a little too kinky for me.  

So then I tried a bit more hair and it looked even worse.  Ugghh!  I think I need more practice.

Now last, the smallest of the clip curling irons.  Not too bad, but I don't see myself using this small of a curling iron.

Cost: $39 via Amazon and Prime is available

Pros:
-5 different tools in 1
-All items fit inside included case
-High temperature and is fully heated in 2 minutes

Cons:
-No heat resistant glove to protect your hand
-Curling irons do not have a non-heated tip
-Curling irons have varying tension

Overall:  This is a great set at an affordable price option.  Be aware that this does not come with a heat protecting glove, that which you will need to safely use this tool.

Thank you...

to our beloved Seahawks. This season was full of twists and turns. As painful as it was yesterday, I still love our team and will always be a hometown, die hard fan no matter what!  Prep and rest in the offseason and I'll see you in the Fall.
