CSN Review

I know that many of you have heard of CSN. But for those of you who haven't, CSN Stores have so many items its crazy! They have everything from Dressers, to dining room chairs, kitchen items and great stuff for the Bathroom. CSN is made up of over 200 online stores and has something for everyone and every budget. 

I have a small farm house that is 2 bedrooms, one bathroom (yikes!) and a huge living-room that flows into the kitchen. With the new baby, there isn't enough rooms for us all! So my wonderful husband is building  on to our house. YAY! I'm getting a new Super Huge bedroom,  massive closet and a nice size laundry room along with a smaller bathroom. He says the bathroom is for "The Men". Never mind that the other "Man" is still only 5 months old! But I'm not complaining! This bedroom is HUGE! I have been looking for a few items to put in my new space and I don't think I will ever be able to decide on just a few things!

I saw this bench  and thought it would look great at the end of my bed! The addition to the house also means that we will have to furnish my sons room so I was looking at the kids area and I was so surprised to see that CSN also offers things such as Baby Carriers  and strollers. That Is GREAT! I saw this amazing, Beautiful Cradle. I don't need one as I already have one for the baby but all I can say is WOW! Look at how detailed this is! I wish I could have this!

I'm telling you, They have it all! I can't wait to browse this store some more to see what I can find! Christmas is comming up you know! Now i think i know just what to ask for: a new set of pots and pans! Yes, I got a new set about 3 years ago for Christmas but I love to cook and I, for some reason, think I must have a new set every few years! I MUST have this Rachael Ray set! I just love her!

Seriously, if your in the market for Anything at all, Stop by CSN first. They have all the top brands all in one place. They even offer free shipping on most items! Not in the market for a new bed? Just take a look and drool over what you might choose when you are!

I have to say, Yo Gabba Gabba is one of those childrens shows that are so great to teach often overlooked things such as standing in line, waiting your turn, no biting, and saying I'm sorry. My 4 year old girl and my 5 month old son really like the show. It has different parts to the show that all tie in together at the end which is great for little ones attention span (or Lack thereof). I know, I know I'm going to have people thinking "She shouldn't be letting her 5 month old watch TV!" Well guess what, I DO! He Really loves that show and it's a great way for me to be able to do things around the house or even read that magazine article i've been trying to read for a week. I've given up on books (tear) until I can put the baby down to play with out him screaming his head off! He thinks he MUST be held at all times and if not, well, he will LOUDLY let you know what he thinks of that!

Back to the reason of this post: Did you know that Yo Gabba Gabba is on Tour sponsored by Kia Sorento CUV? Yes!

BedHead Styling Review and Giveaway!

If you have hair that is anything close to mine, you have a hard time doing anything with it other than a pony-tail! I have some seriously fine, thin hair. OK, When my husband and I got married 10 years ago, I wanted a beautiful up-do with those defined curls (i guess they are called pin curls? lol) Well, I got the beautiful up-do with those curls-but it took an entire can of hairspray to do it!

From time to time, I use hot rollers, different size curling irons and such to try and get even the smallest wave in my hair. NOTHING! It just turns out to be a mess. One side is kinda nice. One side is just sad. I have had my hairdresser teach me how to do it, just in case I'm not doing it rite or something! I have even gone so far as to put 3 perms in my hair within a years time, just hoping that it will hold enough that win i do style/curl my hair, it will hold. NO LUCK!

Thank goodness for Bed Head! They have traditional styling products and tools but also tools. Yes, the specialty tools look very strange. But so interesting!

I was so excited to gave the chance to test/review a styling tool from Bed Head, I cant even tell you! I thought, "here is my chance to find something to style my hair with that actually works!". You all know their quality products that Bed Head offers from Ionic Dryers, Flat irons, traditional Curling irons to the new Specialty Tools. The product I tested is called "The Wave Artist".

Wave Artist

 When I opened the box I thought "Lord, I hope this works!" I honestly was going to wait until the next day to try it out because It came UPS and they run between 5:00 and 6:00 PM at my house. But I really couldn't wait! I just wanted to test part of my hair, just one little section!WOW! I just did the front parts of my hair and kind of held back the part I didn't do to get an idea of how it would look. I was so cute! It reminded me of how Taylor Swift does her hair, You know, those beautiful waves? So i just brushed my hair out thinking it would leave a very small wave like when you pull your hair back in a pony tail when its still damp. Uhhh...... NOPE! The defined waves stayed! Seriously?!?! MY hair actually held a wave? Never mind that it wasn't a full blown curl! I was so excited to wash my hair that night, Put some product in it, and try to do my hair with the Wave Artist the next day!

I watched the instruction video and prepared my hair that night. It said to use Bed Head Masterpiece Hairspray, but I didn't have any so I just used my super mega helmet head spray I had on hand.

After I used the Wave Artist, my hair did look like Taylor Swift! I was very happy with how it looked.

I decided that the next time I used it, It would look even better! Its one of those things that takes a time or two to get just right. But all in all, I Loved It! Those great people over there also sent me 2 of their new head bands and some clips to fix my "Bed Head"! My 4 year old stole them....... But they were so cute! (My camera isn't working so i cant show you the the pictures i took of them)

The wonderful people at Bed Head are going to give one lucky reader their very own Wave Artist Styling Tool! Thanks Bed Head!

Can't wait to win? The Wave Artist is Available now at Ulta and Amazon. Just click Here
