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).

    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

  22. mommabearTrax 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

On the weekend we tried this recipe from Louisa Holst's new book. I've always wanted an easy way to make my own pizza with real bread dough and I think I found it. It came out like a pizza pie but still good. My son is very fussy, he moaned that he could have done a better job but he still ate it. 

What do you think? Would you try it? Full recipe and comments up on the blog.
