Perfect Bun by Remington Review

Surely I can't be the only one that struggles with getting that big, beautiful, ballerina bun. I've tried the sock method, and sometimes it works, sometimes it is a complete failure. I needed something quick and easy. I was looking in the hair section of my local Wal-Mart, and I stumbled upon this little device. It was $5, and I thought, "might as well give it a try." I wanted something to use on second day hair that will still look cute and chic.

The Perfect Bun by Remington has wire encased in foam, with a hole in the center. (See photo). The idea is to pull your hair into a ponytail, slip the hair through the hole, twist and bend the foam piece into a bun shape.

I had some reservations when using this because I have layers in my hair. This works for me! I couldn't believe how simple it was!

I have been using this on second day hair. I like this because it has texture from the day before. I spray some dry shampoo at my roots, and just a tiny bit on my length. I teased my hair just at the roots and pulled it into a high ponytail. Then I inserted my hair through the hole, pulled it through so my ends were sticking out and rolled. As I was rolling I spread my hair out so it wouldn't be concentrated to one area. Once I was done rolling I bent the roller into a bun shape, and continued to spread my hair around the roller. I secured my bun with a few bobby pins (it needed it!) and that was it!

I absolutely love this little tool, and it makes a perfect bun. In my opinion, this was money well spent. You can find the Perfect Bun maker at Wal-Mart.

Have you ever tried a tool like this? What did you think of it? Leave me a comment and let me know!

Simple Sugars Review

There is no doubt that this scenario has happened to you. You get some really expensive cream to put on your acne, rosacea, or eczema. You try it out, and find out you are allergic to it, or it makes your skin look horrible. Such was the case with Lani Lazzari. She has sensitive skin and has tried every commercial product on the market to help her eczema. Nothing worked, so she took matters in her own hands. She created Simple Sugars in December of 2005. If you're wondering where you might have heard Lani's name before, she appeared on ABC's Shark Tank! The scrubs are all natural and uses many different oils. There are no sulphates, artificial preservatives, parabens, colors, or scents. There are scrubs for your face, body, feet, and even some for the men in your life! You can find your perfect scrub on their website . I wish you could smell this! I bought some at a local retailer and I am impressed! I got the chocolate scent, and let me tell you, it smells AMAZING!...

So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet. I will give you a little reintroduction of myself. I'm Mandii.
