How to cut bangs on children.

One of the biggest costs that you can avoid are trips to the hairdresser. Although I would hate to put myself out of business ( if I was still doing hair) it is possible to stretch a haircut. Learning how to cut “bangs” or the front of their hair can “buy” you a few extra weeks before you have to get the rest cut.

But first, does this look like the face of a kid excitedly hoping for a haircut? Yea, he wasn’t too thrilled. Sorry buddy, I hate that long in the face thing the guys have going on right now.

She was also thrilled to be getting her hair cut. I think she was just mad I was doing it and she didn’t do it herself.

Don’t be afraid to cut your kids bangs. Just do a little at a time and QUIT while you are ahead! We all have horror stories of our Mother’s cutting our bangs too short, so don’t keep cutting, just walk away! But the most important thing is to layer the bangs to soften them up and blend them into the rest of the haircut.

Once you have the length cut. Pull the “bangs” up from the side and cut off the point to make them lay really well. Take a look at the video where I show you how.

This works well on husbands to extend the life of their haircuts also! Good luck, don’t be afraid.

You can always start out practicing on the dog…

Pumpkin Gooey Bars recipe

October 4, 2009 By Tiffany 2 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

I made these the other night for the coupon class. I thought they were really good!

Thanks, Katie D. and Snbjork for the comment and the recipe!

Pumpkin Gooey Bars

Ingredients

Cake:

1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling:

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan.

To make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter, and beat together. Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well. Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey.

Serve with fresh whipped cream.

Variations: For a Pineapple Gooey Cake: Instead of the pumpkin, add a drained 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple to the cream cheese filling. Proceed as directed above.

For a Banana Gooey Cake: Prepare cream cheese filling as directed, beating in 2 ripe bananas instead of the pumpkin. Proceed as directed above.

For a Peanut Butter Gooey Cake: Use a chocolate cake mix. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter to the cream cheese filling instead of the pumpkin. Proceed as directed above.

24 Hour Giveaway, 3 bottles of Vaseline Sheer Infusion Lotion!

October 3, 2009 By Tiffany 134 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

**Closed! Sorry!

When the nice people at Vaseline asked me to review the new Vaseline Sheer Infusion I was all over it! I knew we had some deals coming up at the drugstores to get some free bottles of this but I wanted to try all the different scents.

The people at Vaseline promise “Superior moisture across all layers of skin” because it contains “Stratys-3” which, according to the Vaseline website, is composed of “three powerful ingredients that infuse and suspend moisture across all layers of skin–the top, the core, and deep down.” They really deliver!

I have fallen in love with this lotion. It does not feel greasy when I put it on and it actually feels like it is being deeply absorbed down into my skin, kinda cool. It also lasts for a long time, even after I wash my hands they still feel like I have just applied the lotion, in a good way. This lotion comes in three different formulas and fragrances: “Botanical Bliss”, “Vitamin Burst” and “Mineral Renewal” I like the Botanical Bliss, but all the scents are really nice and mellow. Not over powering.

If you would like to win THREE bottles, one of each scent from Vaseline, leave a comment with your name and you favorite current lotion!

The kids will draw a winner tomorrow about lunch time!
