One Summer Activity I know the girls are going to love.

With summer coming and our family not being comfortable with everything opening up yet as well as the news we will be having our granddaughter most of the summer, I needed to come up with some activities to keep the girls busy in between when they run out of ideas. This girl’s creator braiding bracelet kit is one of the many awesome items we picked out. My daughter gave it a whirl today so we can make sure we know how to use it when the time comes.

Her results were OK for the first time using it. We didn't finish it off with the cutting or glue due to the fact she wants to practice to get better at it. My daughter is 13 and really needed a lot of help with this at first but once I showed her two rounds she was able to do the rest on her own. Like I said she wants to practice a bit more to get the string tighter and neater for the finnished look. 

She did say that this will be a good item to use during the summer with my 10 year old granddaughter and I am sure a few of her friends. 

The kit does say it makes up to 12 bracelets. With that being said this one took took two strings which leaves just enough to make 10 bracelets if you only use one color per bracelet so keep that in mind and maybe pick up some extra elastics and string. I see these being made with embroidery floss, paracord rope, yarn, and other simular strings which we have on hand and can be picked up easily at your local craft store or on Amazon. 

We love that this came with a bag so everything can be stored inside and grabbed at a moments notice for some bracelet making fun. I personally see this being used for years to come as long as I can continue to provide the elastics and string. Sadly right now there were no refill kits but maybe in the future they will have those available. 

Here is a picture of everything you get in the kit.

Hair up or down?

Being a mom I am constantly putting my hair up to clean, work with the kids, or just get my hair out of my face, but I do like having it down too so I always try to keep a ponytail with me just in case.  My daughter is quite the same loving to have one on hand when she needs it which is most times when she would like to have her hair down. 

With a bracelet like this one from Ashley Bridget she can have style while alway having a hair band near by in a pinch. Soon as she saw this she said mom I want that and I told her it was for her and showed her how it hold a hair tie. She was in love at first sight. Easy to use, it goes with any outfit just by changing out your hair tie color.

Ashley Bridget to the rescue

I know there are others like myself who go back and forth all day from having their hair down to having it up in a ponytail or messy bun. I hate having a ponytail around my wrist because they aren't really stylish and they often leave a mark on my easily bruised wrists.

With a hair tie bracelet like this one from Ashley Bridget you can have style and function as well as versatility. You can wear it with the open side up or down, change the color of the band to match your outfits, and alway have a hair tie with you for those moments when it is time to get your hair up and out of the way to get down to work.

If you are looking for a great gift for a teen or anyone you know who love to wear ponytails this comes in a nice gift box that really shows you care. I love my bracelet and wear it almost everyday. It gives me complete freedom to know I have a hair tie with me when I need it.

ALL NATURAL Mosquito Repellent Bracelets

There are only two things I don't like about being outside in the summer. When it is cold and the never ending hungry Mosquito's that seem to think I am the buffet. I could really enjoy being outside more often if it were not for these little pests.

Candles and other smoky products just don't cut it for me. Sprays can be dangerous, and are a pain in the but if you have broken skin anywhere on your body, or if you happen to have sensitive skin.

In steps Eco Defense with a nice Mosquito repellent bracelet that last about 30 hours before needing to be replaced, which means you only have to worry about one spot of your body being touched by the repellent as opposed to your whole body, and it will protect your whole body.

Great for camping, fishing, hiking, late nights out, playing in the backyard, or just sitting back and enjoying the evening in your yard.

You can purchase these Mosquito Repellent Bracelets on Amazon.
