Aloha Friday - Haircut


It is FRIDAY!!!
Time to link up with Kailani...
And then relax and enjoy...
It is the WEEKEND!!!!!!

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too.

Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

My question this week:

Have you ever donated your hair to LOCKS OF LOVE or WIGS FOR KIDS?

My answer:
I have donated to Locks of Love two times...
I actually have a ponytail now that I need to mail...
and I am getting ready to cut it all off again...
My hair is just toooooo thick and it makes me way to hot to keep long...
Besides, if a child can use it, why cut it and throw it away?!

    I donated my hair to Locks of Love the last time I cut it. I am planning to do it again fairly soon.

    I love that you do that!

    They don't want my nappy hair and it does not grow much to be able to do this.

    LOVE it! I would if I had hair that grow fast and was useable.

    Aloha!

    Yup & it felt so rewarding. In fact, now that I haven't colored my hair in 2 years, I can donate it again. Waiting for August before I hack it off for Locks of Love

    I never have - I've never grown it long enough to have it cut off to donate.

    Yes, I have donated it - like you, my hair is extra thick, which means it's HOT during the summer time. Though I do like to wear my hair long so that it keeps my neck warm in the winter, and the weight pulls out the unruly waves my hair naturally has. So I do the donation when I let my hair get really long and have enough cut off to donate. :)

    Yes, I have done it 3-4 times in the last 6 years. Last time I did it was probably the last. Being selfish and not keeping the hair as long. Want to be ready to go and not use a pony tail.

    I have donated twice also... I usually do the same as you, let it grow long enough to donate and then cut it all off to donate.
    I think it is a fabulous thing that anyone can do. The other thing that people can do is if they are able is to join the bone marrow registry. I am on that also and I encourage anyone who is able to do so.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
