I think my favorite is this one ~ but it's really hard to decide as there are so many neat ones they offer!   I think their "religious" collection is so neat and what a great way to keep the wonderful scriptures around your home and constantly reminding you.

Lilla Rose Flexi Clip Giveaway!

I have long hair recently I cut it to my waist but before that it's been about 10" below my waist for years. I'm really bad at just keeping my hair back in a braid e v e r y d a y.  It's simple and easy to do daily and then I never have to do anything to it again in a day. But there are those days and occasions that it's nice to do more then just a braid...

That's when I thought a Lilla Rose Flexi Clip would be a great solution.  They are pretty and have great reviews!  One of the main reasons I normally only wear my hair in a braid is because I often get bad headaches when I wear my hair different ways.  I was really excited to try Lilla Rose's Flexi Clip, I was afraid of not using it enough, but I was wrong. :)  I got a Medium sized Lilla Rose Hawaiian Flower Flexi Clip and it's super easy to use and very comfortable and hasn't left me with a headache yet!

I normally don't like a pony tail as they become uncomfortable with the weight of my hair but I found the Flexi Clip to be very comfortable as a ponytail (and pretty too!)  The medium size is a bit too big to wear half of my hair in so I've just been enjoying it as a ponytail.  (I did order a small for that though - I should get it soon!:)

 Some of my other favorites from Lilla Rose

Don't know what size to get?  Lilla Rose has a great video for suggestions on what size you'd need as well as different hair styles you can do with the Lilla Rose Flexi Clips.

Michele Independent Representative of Lilla Rose has kindly offered to giveaway 1 Flexi Clip to one of my readers!  To enter the giveaway simply follow the guidelines in the Rafflecopter form below. :)
