AmaZing Hair Styles With HairZing! (Giveaway)
I’ve made a goal for myself this summer to do more with my hair. It has been 2 years and 5 months since I cut my hair literally to nothing to go natural. Since then, my hair has really grown and I’ve been hiding it under crocheted hats and an unpicked afro. Lately, I’ve been dabbling with new products and accessories, the latest being HairZing.
HairZing is an innovative little hair accessory which consists of gorgeously beaded resin bands that are attached to two hair-friendly molded metal combs. I love to put little beads and shells in my hair so when I discovered HairZing, I had to try one. Since playing with HairZing, I haven’t made a successful style since my hair is extra poofy at the moment. I’m still trying, but I think I’m on to something though! Once I get my hair braided, all should be well. I can see myself collecting HairZings and keeping one in my purse, just in case.
Not having enough time for hair styling is a common problem moms and women on the go face. When I do have the time, I definitely don’t like to spend a lot of it fixing my hair unless I truly KNOW what I’m doing. I’m just not that talented in the hair styling department, hence my lack of patience. HairZing has created HairZing 101 videos to help get started with HairZing. In addition to the HairZing 101 videos, HairZing has also compiled 14 different hair styling video tutorials for inspiration.
Whether your hair is curly, bone straight, locked, or braided, there are HairZings and video tutorials suitable for your hair type.
HairZing is a company with a good cause. They make their products in Africa and Asia. In Asia, they use a factory owned by a husband and wife duo that allow women to work close to their families with wages that allow them to become big players in their workforce. In Africa, all beads are made by women in the Maasai tribe of Kenya. HairZing teaches sound business practices to ensure that women in Asia and Africa are able to build other small companies on their own.
WIN!: For a chance to win a Diamond Large Blue Wonder HairZing, leave a comment telling me how you would benefit from HairZing if you were to win! A winner will be chosen randomly on June 3rd 2008 at 7PM CST. This giveaway is open to US and Canada residents.

Fresh & Simple Pouches By Ragú
I remember sitting in the lobby of the OB/GYN office and watching one of those medical videos. A question popped up on the monitor. Which of the following meals do households eat more of for dinner? A. Casseroles. B. Sandwiches. A survey revealed that more households eat sandwiches for dinner. A lady in the lobby replied with not in my house, we eat more casseroles. I thought to myself, we eat spaghetti, which could work as a casserole if baked.
Greg and I eat spaghetti like we’ve been given a lifetime supply of pasta, Ragu, and ground turkey. We love it because the meal is inexpensive and there’s plenty to go around for the rest of the week. This works for us financially and for me physically. I don’t have to cook a meal every day! What I do is cook up a big pot. We eat it alone or with other food that I decide to make later in the week. I know that when Jayden gets older my method will be a lifesaver, especially if we have more kids.
Ragu, the makers of my favorite pasta sauce, introduced a new product called the Fresh & Simple Pouch. With the busy mom in mind, Fresh & Simple Pouches microwave in 90 seconds and can be poured on any pasta, meat, seafood or family favorite. No sugar is added to Fresh & Simple Pouches and like traditional Ragú Sauces, no artificial additives or preservatives. Prepare a quick meal or snack for the family without sacrificing nutrition!
Here’s an idea, dip Texas Toast in Fresh & Simple! Visit Feed Our Kids Well for tips, healthy recipes, and time-saving suggestions for moms! Thanks Ragu for allowing me to try another one of your delicious products!

Tanyetta’s Gonna Be On The Ellen Show!
Tanyetta went to a taping of the Ellen show and it will be airing on Monday. During the show, she played a coconut game for a chance to win 7 days and 6 nights at the Embassy Suites in Waikiki, Hawaii for 4. She won and she’s taking me! Ok, I’m lying about taking me, lol. It’s the perfect package for her, hubby, daughter and son! She was so excited that she broke out and did the robot dance on stage! I swear we must move to Cali because Tanyetta is living the life over there. There is never a dull moment in the house of the McKoys!

Win A $100 Tarjay (Target) Gift Card!
For the longest I thought that Target was just an expensive Walmart and I stayed away. After a few occasional visits to Target, I see what all the raving is about. Don’t get me wrong now, I’m still a fan of Walmart (the newer and cleaner ones), but Target is more upscale. They carry better quality products, some of which are on the boutique-y level. Target is one of my new found loves.
BloggedIn is having a giveaway for a $100 Target gift card! If I were to win, I’d probably spend it on baby stuff and anything that I can find in the clearance aisles!
