5-in-1 Grooming Kit


Planning and having a large family meant spending our money wisely or as wisely as we could with what we had coming in. One of the things that were cut back early on in our marriage was going to the hair stylist for hair cuts. I do about once every year or even once every two years. With my husband we learned to do his hair at home with grooming kits similar to this one from Sminiker. 

I am in love with this 5-in-1 grooming kit for two reasons. It is rechargeable and it has no cords to get in the way. This makes keeping my husbands hair at it's best. Over the years he did learn how to do most of his head alone and then I come in and do the edging, as well as getting any places he missed while doing it himself. 

I will be honest when you first do your hair at home it is learning process and something that takes time to get used to. Mistakes will be made but once you get the hang of it you are good to go. Luckily my husband and boys all kept their hair short so I was able to keep their hair looking good with little to no effort. 

My husband has been getting older and has been looking for a new set which included a nose hair attachment, which this does so he is really happy with both the capabilities as well as the cordless part as well. 

What Sminiker has to say about their product.

No Stuffed Bears Here

























The next Holiday on our list is Valentine's day and what a cute item to pick up for the love in your life. From your daughter to a bear lover this is sure to please. Made by J.NINA with Swarovski Crystals, with movable limbs makes this so gorgeous, I had a hard time giving this to my daughter and not keeping it for myself.

I love the chain because is different then most plain chain necklaces out there and is sturdy enough, yet still beautiful but not too much so that it takes away from the awesome bear attached.

I had no idea just how beautiful this would be until I opened it and even though these pictures are pretty good they don't do it justice till you see it in person. This is a nice necklace to wear with turtlenecks, sweaters, etc. I am in love and hope to see more items like this in the near future. This cute bear necklace can be found at my affiliate link below.
