It seems that if you want something you’re sure to find it. If you want something specific, well there’s a store for that too. I was contacted by Haircoverings.com about their website. My first thought was, “What can I expect to find on haircoverings.com?”
True to the sites name, you’ll find all types of hair coverings and hair accessories. Whether you need pony tail elastics, Headbands, hats, durags, sleeping caps…well…it would probably just be easier for you to go ahead and check out the site for yourself. There are lots of items for your hair.
There are several aspects of the site that I like. While browsing I noticed how reasonable their prices were for many of their items. They even have several budget features like the “Under $5 bin” which is easy to find with the banner on Haircoverings.com’s home page. They also advertise their “Steal of the Week” on their homepage. Also, did you notice the banner at the top that advertises free shipping in the US?
I received two fabric head bands as review samples from Haircoverings.com. The shipping from the site was super quick. The quality of the headbands I received was as good as I had hoped it would be.

My 7 yr old was looking forward to it. My 8 yr old just said he was interested in the pit party before hand. I’m talking about the Monster Truck Nationals in State College, PA last night.
My boys’ father took them to the show. It sounds like they had a great time. Here’s just a few pics from the show last night:
Both of the boys said there were dirt bike riders before the monster trucks. They said the dirt bike riders were actually their favorite part. They did ask me today though if they could wear their autographed shirts to school. I was a little leary but told them to go ahead. They were so excited to show off their autographed tees.
My 8 year old said his favorite truck was “Chalkboard Chuck” that was red, yellow, and black. He said “Chalkboard Chuck” is the one in the last picture shown above. My 7 year old said his favorite was “Big Foot”. He asked, “Do you know why Big Foot is my favorite mom?” I said no. He said “Because it’s a Ford” lol. Well any reasons a good reason I guess.
If you get a chance to take your kids to the Monster Truck Nationals, do it. It’s something fun that’s not your everyday activity. There’s still a chance to catch the Monster Truck Nationals.
The banner is for the show that happened April 1 and 2 in State College , PA but if you click it, it will take you to where you can buy tickets for the other remaining venues. Use code: FAMILY to get $3 off your tickets.

I saw reviews for Jamberry Nails. I though they were a really cool idea. Nail designs that adhere to your nails with a blow dryer and last 2 weeks. There are lot of neat colors and designs. I was kind of wishy washy about buying them. Then I saw that DealPulp had a deal on them today.
They’re normally $15 for a set but today DealPulp has them for $6 each. Also, DealPulp usually has that you can only buy 1 of the deals for yourself and 1 deal for a friend. With the Jamberry Nails deal today though you can buy 2 for yourself and up to 2 for a gift if you like.
I jumped on this one and thought you might be interested too.
DealPulp Jamberry Nails deal 4/4

RANDOM.ORG DREW NUMBER 11 VICKI. WINNER HAS BEEN EMAILED AND HAS 48HRS TO RESPOND TO WINNING EMAIL NOTIFICATION. THANKS EVERYONE FOR READING AND ENTERING!
Monave Mineral Cosmetics located in Baltimore, MD offers mineral makeup including a modern palette of vegan and gluten-free lip glazes.
First of all, what makes a lip glaze or other lip product vegan? The two most commonly used animal bi-products are beeswax and carmine. If you were like me, I had no idea what “carmine” actually is. Carmine comes is pigment that comes from beetle wings that is often used in lip products.
Why are Monave lip products different from other lip products?
100% vegan
100% gluten free
formulas are made from whole-food edible ingredients NOT derivatives
Multi-ethnic palette
100% handmade products
Natural fruit extracts give the products a pleasant taste
support local economy
I was sent a tube of the Monave sheer lip glaze in the color Honey Glaze.
The Monave lip glaze had a nice sheer tint. It gave my lips a beautiful shine. I didn’t notice the fruit flavor that’s referred to in the benefits. It really didn’t have any flavor at all in my opinion. The container itself is a slip tube with a twist off cap. The applicator sponge made applying the glaze easy.
If I had any complaints it would be that the lip glaze is a bit expensive for my taste. $13 a tube. The ethics of the company as well as the quality of the glaze and vegan and gluten free benefits may be a good motivator to plunk down the $13 though for some.
You can find Monave Mineral Cosmetics online on their site: http://www.monave.com or there are several retail locations in Maryland you can find HERE.
