My First Product Giveaway!!

IT'S GIVEAWAY TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!!! (singsong Oprah voice tiiiiime!!!!)
Do you find it nauseating when I use this large font?!
Oh. My bad.
Mah bad.
There. That's better.
So, this week I'm hosting a giveaway for none other than Mrs Katrina Burbank, who is a representative for Lilla Rose hair products and blogger over at Burbank Homestead, where she is hard at work hosting a giveaway for some oils. Damn, girl! You love you some giveaways!

Katrina sent me a beautiful hair clip which I LOVE, and finally got a picture of in my hair.
 I TRIED to take the picture myself since my husband was superduper busy watching the Bills game, but I only ended up swearing in the driveway like an idiot. On the plus side, I nearly pulled a muscle in my arm and got an album full of closeup hair follicle pictures that I can someday share with my grandchildren.

I have long hair, and usually just wear it down. When I pull it back, it's usually in an act of desperation because of excercising or extreme heat, and I typically end up looking like a terminally ill inmate at a low budget prison, which is not a flattering look in case you were wondering. So imagine my relief when I got this great hair clip and found that I could look like a normal woman with her hair pulled back! It was a defining moment in my life.


Owning my new Lilla Rose flexi clip has been nothing but a positive experience, not just for my hair, but for my entire family. We have welcomed this hair clip with open arms.
Just take a look:

Here I am, dressed as a pioneer woman, feeding Flexi a bowl of invisible food while my daughter looks on.
Note that my hair appears to be pulled back.




Dan arrives home from work, smiling tensely after noticing that someone is sitting in his chair.
Also, his foot looks broken.

 

Dan moves closer to me. "Honey?" he says under his breath. "Why is there a STRANGER sitting in my chair?"
"Not noooow, dear!" I chirp in a sing song voice. "Besides," I whisper with a forced smile, "Flexi can HEAR you. He has ears, you know."

After dinner, the girls play a rousing game of hide and seek with Flexi.

"THERE YOU ARE!!!!" They scream at the top of their lungs.

"WE KNEW WE'D FIND YOU, FLEXIIII!!!" they chide.
"I'm starting to really hate this place," Flexi thought to himself.

Next, it was time for dress up!
How the girls laughed and laughed as they dressed Flexi in Lucie's favorite dress!

 
Not many things were as degrading as being dressed up in a little girl's jumper in Flexi's world.
His blood was boiling,but the fun was far from over.

"YAY SPEED RACEEER!!!!!"

"Our Grampa grew up in the land of camels!!! NOW YOU'RE RIDING ONE!!!!"
The girls were beside themselves. Flexi felt like he might vomit.
Finally, it is bedtime, and Flexi's own personal hell has come to an end. At least until tomorrow.

Flexi says his prayers and begs his guardian angel for help.
"Sorry, Flexi" whispers a still, small Voice. "I didn't assign you a guardian angel.
 You're not a person.You don't have a soul."
Could things get any worse for our hair clip friend?????


To answer your question, YES.
YES, they could get MUCH worse.

 

Much, much worse.
"Can't I get a MOMENT of PRIVACY around this place?!?!?
I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY, BURBANK!!!!!"

THE END.
APPLAUSE!!!!!
Now it's time for YOU to welcome a lucky little Flexi Clip into YOUR home! Please enter the contest for your chance to win!!!!

  6. "Flexi can HEAR you, he has ears, you know".
    Every child's nightmare, ever- that the world around them is full of sentient beings, hiding as inanimate objects.
    YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE!
