Holiday Hair Tutorial -- Side Bun with Bling



Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links that help to support this site. See full disclosure policy here.


It's holiday party season and if you're looking for a simple, but elegant way to style your hair, you will love this side bun with a bit of bling compliments of our friends at MadisonReed.

Holiday Hair Tutorial

How to Create a Side Bun with Bling

1. Start with dry hair. Use a curling iron to add a little texture. Second-day hair works really well too.
2. Make a side part. Gather hair below the ear on the side opposite your part for a more dramatic effect.
3. Twist hair and pin into a bun.
4. Add a beautiful barrette right above the bun. Get creative with what you have! In this photo, we took a shiny necklace and pinned it above the bun. Use bobby pins to fasten securely for beautiful style that won’t stop.

Even the simplest of styles can be dramatic with a little extra sparkle

Give your hair that extra shine every day with MadisonReed's Radiant Color Kit or the new semi-permanent ColorReviving Gloss. Madison Reed's hair color is better for you and better for your hair as it contains no harsh chemicals like PPD or ammonia. Find your perfect hair color today!

Make-Ahead Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Muffins



Here's a delicious breakfast recipe that is so versatile! These Make-Ahead Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Muffins are delicious when you eat them right from the oven, perfect when you have a crowd to feed (holiday brunches, kids' sleepovers, etc.), and are easy to freeze and warm up for school days or any busy morning.

It's nice to enjoy a hot breakfast, even on those days when you're in a rush, and this recipe makes it easy. For vegetarians, you can substitute veggie sausage or even skip the sausage.

Enjoy!

Make-Ahead Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Muffins



MAKE-AHEAD SAUSAGE, EGG, and CHEESE MUFFINS
Yields 12

Ingredients:
 
4 cups shredded hash browns, thawed
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
8 eggs
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ pound sausage, cooked and crumbled


Make-Ahead Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Muffins


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400˚.

2. In a large bowl combine the hash browns, butter, salt and pepper.

3. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Fill the cups about ¾ of the way full with the hash browns. Press with your fingers to mold the hash browns to the cups all the way to the top. Try to make the sides the same thickness all the way around for even cooking. Make sure there are hash browns on the bottom of the cup.


Make-Ahead Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Muffins


4. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until they are starting to brown. Let cool slightly.

5. Reduce oven to 350˚.

6. Take half of the shredded cheese and sprinkle in the bottom of the cups. Repeat with half of the sausage crumble.

7. Whisk the eggs together and fill the cups until almost full.

8. Top with the second half of cheese and sausage.

9. Bake until eggs are set, 20-25 minutes.

10. To freeze: Let cool for two hours, then place muffins in a Ziploc gallon bag until you're ready to enjoy. Microwave for a few minutes before serving for breakfast.

Old Factory Candles Gift Set Review and Giveaway


Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Old Factory Candles. As always, all opinions area my own. See full disclosure policy here.


I love to burn candles when the weather turns colder. When it gets dark outside early, it gives the house a nice cozy feeling to have a candle burning.

I recently received a package of three scented candles from Old Factory Candles. These candles are made right here in the U.S., and they're made of natural soy wax. I was able to choose the set of three I wanted, and since they come in so many scents, it was really tough to decide!

 Old Factory Candles Gift Set Review and Giveaway

There are scents that are definitely more "summery," but I knew I wanted something to go with the holiday  and winter season. There was actually more than one set of three that fits that criteria. I finally settled on the "Happy Holidays" set that includes: Christmas Tree, Candy Cane, and Gingerbread. I was also thinking about the "Winter Wonderland" set, which includes Hot Cocoa, Roasted Chestnut, and First Snow. Doesn't that one sound delicious-smelling too? There are lots of choices, but I know they are probably going fast over on Amazon!

Flash Giveaway in Support of The Shelter Pet Project -- Win a $100 Amazon Gift Card!


Disclosure: MomsWhoSave is participating in this giveaway on behalf of Bloggin' Mamas and in support of Shelter Pets. Shelter Pets and the Ad Council are in no way responsible for this giveaway or prize fulfillment.
 

Flash Giveaway in Support of The Shelter Pet Project -- Win a $100 Amazon Gift Card!

Have you ever adopted or considered adopting a pet? Of all the pets in American homes, only 29% were adopted from a shelter or rescue. Each year approximately 3-4 million pets are adopted, but 2.7 million still lose their lives each year for lack of a home.

Seventeen million people will acquire a pet within the next year. The Shelter Pet Project, a collaborative effort between The Humane Society of the United States, Maddie’s Fund® and the Ad Council, hopes to encourage these prospective pet owners to adopt shelter and rescue pets. Here is just one of those shelter pets:




I know from personal experience that there are no better pets than shelter pets. And, there are so many available for adoption, you can find just about any breed or size of dog (or cat) you're looking for at the shelter. I'm in favor of letting the right pet choose you!

Visit TheShelterPetProject.org to learn more about pet adoption.

---  Giveaway ---


To help support Shelter Pets, MomsWhoSave has joined Bloggin' Mamas in hosting this $100 Amazon gift card giveaway in hopes that the winner may use it to purchase items needed to bring a newly-adopted pet home.
 
This flash giveaway is running Monday, December 22nd, 2014 at 12:01am EST through Tuesday, December 23rd, 2014 at 11:59pm EST. It is open to US residents age 18 and older. Enter via the Rafflecopter form below. Good luck everyone!
