WIN a Barbie Hair Princess!

September 14, 2016 by Heather Step 36 Comments

healthy-living-4When I was a kid I used to love playing with Barbie. And Ken. The act of dressing them up and taking them places was really fun for a little girl like me.

Barbie has changed quite a bit over the years. Still the same basic (unrealistic) frame, but now there are more and more of her. Recently a new “Fashionistas” range has a curvier more diverse range.

In case you or your child fancy yourselves as a bit of a hair stylist, here’s a Barbie with extra long hair to play with.  Yes, she has twice the length of the normal Barbie hair at 25cm long.

Barbie Hair Princess also comes with hair accessories to enjoy too. There are six “snap beads” which plug into a tool that creates a twist.  There are also barrettes which can be worn by kids too. 

The Barbie Hair Princess has a retail recommended price of R399.99.

Here is a video so you can see the twist in action. 

 

All you have to do to win is to tell us what you like about Barbie in the comments, using the Rafflecopter mechanism.

(Not sure how to use Rafflecopter? Sharon wrote a how to post on it recently here) (Do the comment first and then click on the Rafflecopter).

  3. If you have won a giveaway on SA Mom Blogs in the last 3 months you will not be eligible for this giveaway.

    what do I like about Barbie… well for starts her PR team is incredible, shes reinvented herself more than Madonna… and therein that statement lies my age…. Barbie is about as girly as it gets, irrespective of new trends, she is timeless and will always be a part of childhood dreams and hopefully realities.

    Barbie has been around forever.. Any little girl’s eyes light up when the name Barbie is mentioned.. in fact, thats probably the first written word my daughter recognised on toys and stuff. She keeps up with the various trends and fashions.. and one never gets tired of playing barbie 🙂

    Barbie is more than 50 years old, but little girls all over the world over still love her. She’s timeless, and that’s another reason I adore her.

  16. Bianca Balutto says

    Barbie has been around for generations, I use to and still do get excited by the wide range of Barbie’s to choose from. Opening your new Barbie and smelling her beautiful hair. Playing and brushing her hair and trying on new outfits. Im 36 and I still enjoy playing with my daughters Barbie. Its absolutely awesome to have the new fashionistas range. Now girls can choose dolls that look similar to them!

  21. Shelayne Roman says

    September 14, 2016 at 3:22 pm

    I love that Barbie represents and plants the seeds in little girls that women can be whatever they want to be…Doctor, Vet, Fashionista, girl about town, or in my younger childhood days, a sheriff that was Marshall Bravestar and He- man’s boss 🙂 Whatever, its all possible.

  23. Kim says

    September 14, 2016 at 3:20 pm

    I love Barbie because I have two daughters and watching/playing barbie with the kids is a treasured memory of my children’s childhood.Seeing my eldest daughters face light up with each and every Barbie melts my heart.Every little girl just loooooves a Barbie with such long beautiful hair – It’s an inspiration to my eldest daughter ( of 6) to not play hairdresser on her own her and to let it grow long lol 🙂

  24. Keshnie Mathi says

    September 14, 2016 at 3:16 pm

    My little one would love this!! I remember playing with my Barbies at her age and stull get excited everyone we pick up a new accessory or outfit!!! Bonding moments indeed!

  25. Angela Howell says

    September 14, 2016 at 3:02 pm

    I love how this barbie is another to a long range of Barbies. Barbie has entertained little girls for generations. I myself have a retro hair style Barbie that my mother gave me when I turned 13. It was her first Barbie. I have put all my Barbies away. Including Rapunzel and The little Sally. This Barbie is just proof of how it is constantly changing and how they keep with the times. Barbie never fails to impress. And the accessories just keep getting better and better. I would love to add her to my daughter’s collection. She will have from antique, straight through to the hip and happening.

  26. Megan says

    September 14, 2016 at 3:01 pm

What can I say about Rustenburg.. Rustenburg has What can I say about Rustenburg..

Rustenburg has massive mountains. They are beautiful, but difficult to climb.

The chess was challenging and Nicky got 4.5 out of 9 rounds, ending in 42nd position.

My hire car struggled up the hill and the clutch started smoking. After that I came early to make sure I got a parking spot at the bottom.

The electricity was intermittent. Out Guest house had a generator which they turned off at night so Nicky had to make do with a small portable fan.

Despite all this, we are grateful for precious moments which made this trip worthwhile.

Friends that we made and spent time with

Meeting your opponent that you just played at Nando's.

Jumping on trampolines and having fun at Sun City. I lay on the beach while Nicky and Deacon did the slides.

At the airport Nicky had fun walking both ways on the treadmill and Chelsea joined him too.

All in all I'm also super grateful that we made memories and to be home safe.

Would you like to create content but you lack foll Would you like to create content but you lack followers?

There is another option.

User generated content is where you produce content for brands, and it really doesn't matter how many followers you have. 

Lakeisha Mugo from Kenya has put together a UGC guide that will give you the plan that you need.

What I liked about this guide:
📱No fluff, real steps.
📱Great ideas for engagement and what really makes a thoughtful comment.
📱Loads of templates for everything including letters to brands and even for feedback on your work. 
📱Africa specific and relevant.
📱How to make sure that you charge according to the different levels of UGC

It's all up on the blog! So go ahead and read it.

It's that season where we are going around looking It's that season where we are going around looking at high schools.

I know. Time flies. How did we get here?

I loved the quotes on the walls and the art work of the students. If I had to do school again, I think I'd do more art and cooking.

What would you do?

Anyway, let's hope Nicky gets accepted somewhere for next year. These applications are a lot of work. But I've done 3 of them now. 

Nicky really likes this school. And of course he went straight for the chess.

Life in cartoon form. Ask Chat GPT to make a cari Life in cartoon form.

Ask Chat GPT to make a caricature of you based on what it knows about you. You'll get a better result if you tell it what you do. The first attempt was slide 2, it thinks I am a doctor. And I never ask it medical questions. 

Try it out and see what you get.

After working from my mom's home, I had a new appr After working from my mom's home, I had a new appreciation for my work space.

But I needed to do something different. I needed to turn it around for the light. But the alarm antenna stuck out in the corner.

I was busy doing a blog post on bringing nature into your home and I got inspired to put a green feature there and bring in two flower pots. I also got some baskets to clear the clutter.

You have the power to rewrite your story and create something beautiful.

You just need that push to start.

Consider yourself pushed!

Update on Survivor PE: We have intermittent water Update on Survivor PE: We have intermittent water but no power. Lastest news is we might have it by Thursday but I'm not holding my breath.
I wanted to do laundry today and brought the maid to my mom's house and everything but because it's a cloudy day the solar is only on two dots so we've got to conserve power.

#survivorpe #survivorgq #nopower #samomblogs #somewater
When the city tells you that you're not going to h When the city tells you that you're not going to have power for two weeks!

A huge pylon collapsed due to vandalism, wind and rust.

And then your water goes...

You freak out and then you make a plan.
For the first morning, I hot spotted.

Then in the afternoon I went to my mom to teach the rest of my classes.

Since then I have basically moved all my food over to her house and started cooking there as well. I'm also going there to charge everything.

There's no point even using the gas when all the food needs to be kept cold so it needs to be done in one place.

For the water, I now have a system. We flush the toilet with pool water. Wash ourselves and dishes with tank water. And drink from the little tank. 

Nicky has also adapted and is enjoying Granny's chairs.

Oh, and I've also been restyling furniture in my study. If the light is in front of me, it is better.  I've been dealing with work assessments. 

But we can't wait for the lights to come back on and running water.

Until then, I'm super grateful for family.
