Hi friends, notice anything different? My blog got a little facelift over the
weekend… I am thrilled with the results!
Special thanks to Laine from A Little Peace of Africa for this beautiful
blog design. I absolutely love it!
Now,
let me just say, I don't normally do posts like this... But when I find an
amazing product, I sometimes want to share it with all of my wonderful teacher
friends out in bloggy-land. AND, if you follow me on facebook, you know I am
NOT a morning person... So getting ready in the morning is a daily struggle!!
I recently stumbled across "Savvy Curls" which claimed to be a
simple headband that would curl your hair while you slept and didn't require
any heat. I was totally intrigued and decided to order one. If this headband could deliver on its promise, I knew it would be my new best friend!! What
could be better than going to bed and waking up with perfectly curled hair??
I packed my head wrap with me when I headed to Disneyland last
week and decided to put it to the ultimate test! The great thing about the
savvy curls band is that it can be worn during the daytime to keep your hair up
and out of the way. I tried doing my hair curly the first day at Disneyland,
but my hair was definitely not used to the California humidity, so I decided to
wear my hair wrapped up for the remainder of the trip. I was a bit worried
about how well my hair would stay wrapped while I rode Splash Mountain, Tower
of Terror, and other fast / wild rides at Disneyland, but I think the photos
speak for themselves. I took these pictures at the beginning of the morning,
and again around midnight as we waited for the shuttle to come pick us up.
WOW!! I was sold!!

I reached out to Tami, who is the genius behind "Savvy
Curls" and was pleasantly surprised to learn that in addition to being
from Utah, like me, she was also a former school teacher! OF COURSE this was
invented by a school teacher! Why was I not surprised?? Tami was so sweet when
I contacted her, and offered to let me host a giveaway here on my blog. She
also sent me the "convertible wrap" to try out as well. The
convertible wrap is great for long/thick hair or hair with lots of layers, or for
anyone who wants more curl and body. I will admit, this wrap had a little bit
of a learning curve for me, and I think some of my layers are still a little
too short for the extra band, but the great thing about it is that the
additional piece is detachable, so I can still wear the single band on its own
until I master the second part of it. And, hello?? It's PINK!! I am all about
the pink!!! I actually LOVE wearing my hair wrapped up with just a little bit
of pink popping out :) it looks so cute and I get so many compliments on my
hair. Take a look at some of the fun things I've been able to do with my hair
using the Savvy Curls head wrap:
 |
| Top: I put my hair up for a Halloween party (hence the mouse ears); bottom: getting ready for school the next morning. WOW! |
 |
| Top: Single band; bottom: Convertible Band; the cylindrical shape of the headband forms the curls while you sleep, workout, shop, etc. It's amazing!! |
