Knot Genie Review

The @KnotGenie is a special brush designed to #DetangleHair gently, on all types of hair, wet or dry. Awhile back I commented wondering if it really works on #TangledHair.  #KnotGenie decided to send me one so I could see for myself what I thought.

We have been using it for a month now and my daughter absolutely loves it!  Specifically how it gets the tangles out of her hair "without the ouchies".  After her bath she will run to get it for me to make sure I don't use anything else on her hair LOL.

I've included a couple before and after shots for you to see what it does… Embarrassing for me to admit but I did NOT tease or do anything to my daughter's hair in the before shot!  It got like that all on its own.

The Knot Genie is available in two sizes and can be bought via the knotgeniestore.com for $15-$20.  Join their VIP Club now and get a coupon to save $5. Ships to USA and Canada.

If you want it fast, they are also sold on Diapers.com and Amazon.com  :-)

40-60% Off J.Crew Factory!

Hope you are having a great #LaborDay #Long Weekend!  I've been shopping online like crazy (although must confess they are more home oriented purchases)…  There are amazing deals on everything just about everywhere!!  

Case in point, is J. Crew Factory, which is offering 40-60% off everything with free shipping (promocode LABORDAY).  Here are a few things I spotted that I liked… Thompson navy blazer in chino $58 (reg $98), Gramercy green seersucker short $25 (reg $45), embroidered peasant top $24 (reg $50), cotton-silk blend pineapple-print dress $25 (reg $60).

Faux Leather Shorts

 Ahhh!!  I love these faux leather shorts from @GapKidsBabyGap.  They are just too cute - definitely a "mini-me" item!

I have a pair of leather shorts that I wear all the time in the summer…when I first bought them I didn't quite realize how versatile they would be both dressed up and down.  Day or night!

For girls they are adorable (as shown by the Gap model at left) paired quilted sweatshirt and sneakers.  They can easily transition to fall, worn with tights and boots.

$27 is not what I would spend, but I am sure they will go on sale...

Knot Genie

Spotted this #DetanglingBrush from @KnotGenie on sale for just $8 through @Zulily today (regularly $20).  It comes in all kinds of fun colors and finishes…like glitter, shiny, metallic.  I'm intrigued since my daughter's fine hair always seems to get knots in it… Do you use a detangling brush?  If so please share ~ would love to hear what you think!

Just Riding Around

Here is my son enjoying a carefree summer afternoon, just riding around on his bike…. 

The World Cup may be over but my son still loves wearing his favorite Messi shirt.  He always grabs it off the drying rack to wear as soon as it is washed!

What an adorable bag for little dancers!

In pretty pink satin, it even comes with a separate compartment for her #ballet shoes.  On sale for $15 through Zulily (regularly $30).

I did find it handy to keep her ballet stuff in a separate bag so we could quickly grab and go on days when she had class....

Elsa & Anna Backpack

Was recently in the #Disney store in Times Square and saw this #Elsa & Anna backpack for $25…  Since it's actually quite pretty I bought it as a birthday present for my son's friend who is loves Frozen.

Crazy but that was pretty much all the #Frozen merchandise they had!  (Ok, maybe a couple other items but that was it.)  I wonder if it is an item exclusive to that store because I don't see it online...

#Elsa T

I must have heard at least 3 little girls singing #LetItGo from #DisneyFrozen walking to school the other day… and that didn't even include my own kids (who also sing the song all the time)!

This Elsa T is on sale for $14 online through Macy's (regularly $20); today only with promo code EXTRA you can get it for $10 (another 25% off).  At that price I'm sure it will sell out rather fast…
