Bad Hair day winner!

I am glad I didn’t say I would determine who would win this contest. That would have been hard.  I so feel you thick, frizzy haired gals out there.  All the comments were great.  But the winner as chosen by random.org was

(drum roll) Becky!! of Happy Hour Mom– congrats.  Someone will be sending you your Rusk Blow dryer ( light as a feather) and Deep Shine oil treatment .

Frizzy hair people everywhere I must insist you buy this oil.  I am seriously developmentally challenged when it comes to my hair, but putting a little of this oil on when I get out of the shower I can style my hair. Not, super cute salon blow out, maybe someone else could.  It has really helped me look more beach babe, then homeless woman.

Thanks to all those who played. Thanks to Nancy O’Dell for turning me on to the Rusk love.  I have another giveaway contest next week that you will love.

Bad Hair day challenge!

I mean look at me.  Oye, not even as bad as it can get.  Yes, in the ’80′s I did  HAVE A MULLET.  If I ever figure out how to scan photos I will show you it.  Business in the front, party in the back! I have hair like a dog.  Thick, wavy, frizzy if not blown dried by a pro.  I got my dad’s hair.  Who, even in his last hours of life, had lovely hair.  Thining, but still covering his head. Thick hair is beautiful, but can take more work.

Mom’s need a back to school perk.  We have to look sort of “not awful” at drop off, right? So here is a little contest.

I have been hopeless with my hair for years… hence the aforementioned mullet.  If I have work or an event I want to look good for, I go to a cheapie salon and get a blow out.  Now, Nancy O’Dell of Access Hollywood fame emailed me and asked me if I would like to review the Rusk products.  Nancy was a guest on Momversation, so you know we are like this (fingers interlocking through the web).  I don’t do reviews in general, but hey why not?  I asked if we could do a giveway for the cool mom viewers and they said yes, but first to try out the products.  So I got this deep shine oil and their w8less blowdryer.  I put the oil on after I washed my hair and then blow dried it and for the first time ever didn’t get the fly away freeze I normally do.  Now, I still can’t blow dry it as well as the Armenian lady at Fantastic Sam’s, but it looked much better and I didn’t have throw it up into a pony tail in shame like normal.  The oil is Argan oil, which I have also been using on my face.  Josie Maran was on Fashion Team and gave me her Argan oil for my face and I really like it.  Almost as good as humid weather for the skin. Here is a pic of me at my friend’s wedding after I did my hair myself.  (By the way, I’m rather proud of what I’m wearing.  It’s a dress of my mom’s from the ’60′s. The belt was lost so I updated it with a modern belt.  Mark wore a shirt of my dad’s.  Sweet).

So here’s the deal: We could all use a little hair makeover. Simply leave a comment here with your name and you will be entered for the chance to win the same Rusk products they sent me! One winner will be chosen randomly.  Click here for official terms & conditions.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, no. I didn’t get sent any make up… that will have to be another challenge.

Momversation: Did You Have a Birth Plan?

Momversation.com gained our first celebrity guest panelist. Access Hollywood’s Nancy O’Dell asks the mom bloggers if we had a birth plan. Think it’s cool that mainstream celebs want in on the mom blogger world. Note: Even though it’s a homemade video, Nancy’s skin still looks flawless. How does that work?
