Have you tried any of the Fresh products? Are you an addict like me? They have skin care, body care, makeup, fragrances, hair care, and soaps. I think I have about five of their fragrances; my current favorite is Fig Apricot. The fragrances are so clean and fresh – so the brand name is perfect. I recently purchased the Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment, after a friend recommended it. She actually recommended the Sugar Plum Tinted Lip Treatment, but since its springtime, and I am very fair skinned, I decided to go with the lighter tint.

Now, you know I am a huge fan of the Canus Lip Balm, but it has no color, so I thought I would try the Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment to stick in my purse as a little go-to lipstick. I am not a big lipstick person, I like my balms, and I like my glosses. The Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment offers a hint of color, with the benefit of an SPF 15, nourishing, and protecting lip treatment. It’s my new glam favorite! Get one for yourself and add as a staple to any girlie gift basket you make for a friend!

Aren’t these adorable? The flexi-clip from Lilla Rose is a flexible hair clip with an attached sliding pin. Attached sliding pin means you never lose it! Very sturdy, easy to use, and stays put all day long! The Lilla Rose flexi-clip is so much more stylish than a plastic clip or hair band and so comfortable! No headache, I promise! It has a beaded figure eight wire clip that flexes around the hair (hence the name, flexi- DOH) with the attached pin that pushes through and holds your hair in place, whether you want an updo, half do, french twist or pony tail.

The celtic knot is my personal favorite because its all silver and I don’t have to think about matching. However, there are a ton of different styles and colors to choose from. The flexi-clip can go from casual to formal. I use mine daily once it starts getting hot and I want to get the hair off my neck, you know, because I have hot flashes! Be sure and check out the instructional video with sizing information here. Trust me when I tell you that you should use the size they recommend. The first time I purchased, even though I knew better, I ordered the small instead of the extra small, and it was too big. My hairdresser is happier today because she got those clips and I reordered in the right size. Lilla Rose has other products on its website: orings, hair sticks, hair bands, bobby pins, eyeglass holders, necklaces and earrings. I can personally attest to the quality of these products. Individual consultants sell the product line. I ordered mine from Kathy Penny at a craft fair, but have since reordered from the website. Full disclosure, as usual no one pays me or gives me anything to endorse their product.
I hope you check these out and if its not something you would enjoy personally, bookmark for your daughter, or granddaughter, or girlfriend. I think if you are 8 or 80 you will love these clips!

Scribbles and Dribbles
Cuteness Alert!!!!! This site has lots of cute baby/toddler gifts. I love the pacifier keepers, which have the baby’s name spelled out in little beads. Such a large selection of ribbon and thread to make it even more personal for your baby, grandbaby, etc. You can purchase an embroidered gift set, which includes the pacifier keeper, a onesie, and burp cloth, all personalized, for $30. Perfect baby gift!

The Scribbles and Dribbles site also has sippy cup straps to attach to a car seat or stroller to keep the sippy cup clean and off the ground. If I had grandchildren, and I don’t, I would definitely be purchasing these because I’m such a germaphobe! Scribbles and Dribbles also carry crayon carriers that can be personalized. What a great idea to keep your toddler entertained at a restaurant, church, or traveling to grandmas. Which again, wouldn’t be my house . . .
If you have babies, small children, or grandchildren, please share with me some of your favorite sites for baby gifts and I will post them too!
