Lilla Rose's Flexi-Clip Review & Giveaway!

The girls and I have discovered an amazing product that we just absolutely love!

The Flexi-Clip by Lilla Rose!

French Twist with small Flexi

We were sent a flexi-clip to review by a good on-line friend of mine, Jasmine Bass of Like a Mustard Seed. She became a Lilla Roseconsultant in order to raise money for her adoption. Jasmine is a wonderful woman who has a heart of gold. Add that on top of my love of wanting to help wonderful couples enlarge their family by creating a forever home for a child and I just knew I had to help.

French twist with medium Flexi

The girls and I were ecstatic when the flexi-clip arrived. Of course, since I am Mom, I got to try it out first. Jasmine sent us a small after I watched the sizing video on the Lilla Rose website and saying that a small seemed like it would be the most versatile for all of us to start with. Watching the sizing video is very important to ensuring you get the size you need because I would have thought I needed a large for my hair. While I can use the large if I do a French Twist with my hair wet, that is the only thing I can use it for and I would have been disappointed if I would have gotten a large to begin with.

Tails up with small Flexi

1/2 up with small Flexi

After receiving the small, I tried using it to do a French twist, but realized I need a medium for that, but I am able to use it to do an tails up (which is my favorite way to use the small!). I can also use it to do a half-up. A medium arrived and I love it for doing a French twist! I have used the mini for taking just a little bit of hair from each side and joining in the back. 

After I tried it, I allowed the girls to use it in age order starting with my oldest. Her hair is just like mine. Her favorite way to wear the small is in a half-up. She can use the medium for a French twist like like I do.

French Twist with bobby pins

My second oldest has much finer and thinner hair than me and likes to use the small for a French twist. Our XS arrived and she uses it for half-ups and up-twists. She has also been successful in using just two of the bobby pins for holding her hair in a French Twist.

French twist with Large Flexi

My third daughter has thicker hair than me and can only use the small flexi-clip for a half-up. She uses the medium for up-twists and enjoys the large for French twists.

My fourth daughter has hair similar to my second daughter, but she even has less hair so while we have been successful once in getting her hair to stay in a French twist with the small, I think the XS works better for her and the mini is great for doing a half-up.

Ponytail with mini Flexi

Even the little girls enjoy the flexi-clips!

French Twist with X-Small Flexi

Lilla Rose has many different styles of flexi-clips in various sizes (mini, XS, S, M, L, and even XL). They also have bobby pins, You pins, Hair sticks, O rings, Hair bands and a few choices of “jewelry”. 

We are looking forward to expanding our flexi-clip collection as there are not enough for everyone to wear one at the same time and that causes conflicts (especially on Sunday mornings when everyone want to wear one!).

Product Spotlight—Like a Mustard Seed

A few months ago I won a package of items from a wonderful website called, Like a Mustard Seed. I was excited that I not only won, but that I was going to be able to try some all natural products. I was not disappointed!

Green Bandage—This is a wonderful product that I have used on small cuts, scrapes, and bruises. We have had the opportunity to try this out many times even though I have all girls. They get into just as many scrapes and bruises as boys! It helps heal wounds faster and helps moisturize the skin as well to keep from itching as it heals.

Heal Up Lip balm—I especially like this lip balm. It instantly soothes chapped lips and encourages healing.

Sweet Cheeks Salve—I have used this on my little ones’ cheeks when they get dried out from the cold, wind, or even sunburn. I usually only have to apply it once for complete healing. There were a few times I had to apply twice, but that is still really good!

No B.O. Deodorant—I am in love with this! This is a product I bought after I received the package I had won. I have used a deodorant crystal for four years but had started getting a rash whenever I used it after shaving. My mother had bought, tried, and loved the No B.O. deodorant from Like a Mustard Seed so I figured if it is anything like her other products, I would love it as well and I was not disappointed! I have not had one day of even the slightest BO since starting to use it two months ago. Also, my rash disappeared within one week and hasn’t returned!

No Suds Baby Soak—This is a wonderful combination of herbs in a tea bag that you add to a bath for a baby (or you!). It smells wonderful and it relaxes even the crankiest of babies. I truly enjoyed using it for myself after a stressful day as well.

Warm Me Up Herbal Heat Pack—While this is intended to heat up in a microwave and use as a heat pack, I use it as an ice-pack. We don’t have a microwave, but it works wonderfully as an ice-pack. I keep it in the freezer and take it out anytime someone has a headache (it has a wonderful lavender scent) or a bruise or smashed fingers, etc. I have even just put it in bed with a child to help her relax and sleep better. When this came in the prize package I wasn’t sure I would actually use it, but I am glad I was proved wrong!

I highly suggest checking out the Like a Mustard Seed blog as well as her etsy shop. I don’t think you would be disappointed by any of her products!
