Pretty Things

I love pretty things.  I love having three daughters. 

For many years, I’ve struggled to manage these two loves combined.  One: It can be an expensive business.  Two: I’ve struggled to find a system that works for me and leaves all the girls happy.

Ah, but no more; I’ve found a solution; I’ve found another love: Pretty Things Distract Me.

I love buying things from mothers who work from home (WAHM).  I prefer to part with money to a WAHM than a large company.  If you are like me, then join the Hire a Mummy facebook fan page. Hire a Mummy is directory listing (launching this year) of services provided by Work at Home Mums across Australia and New Zealand.

So back to being distracted by pretty things. I’ve found the solution to all my pretty needs.  This is how my system works.

First: I’ve purchased a range of woven headbands.  As you can see, I’ve covered about every colour combination possible.  One of my daughters wears headbands everyday.  In the past, we’ve had problems with headbands causing headaches but the Pretty Things Distract Me headbands can be worn all day.

Second: I have a stunning range of clips: flower clips, cupcake clips and bow clips.  These clips attach to the woven headbands so the girls can choose and change the look they want.  The clips also look stunning on their own and don’t fall out.

Third: The clips are so pretty you want to make sure they are on display.  You can buy clip holders, custom made with the first letter of your child’s name.  In addition, if you have as many clips as I do, you can invest in a board like I have.  I purchased this one from Spotlight for $10.  It’s actually a card holder/notice board but is brilliant in displaying all the clips.  Hung on the bedroom wall, it acts like a piece of 3D wall art.

Fourth: Joy.  Yep, joy.  Every day, my daughters joyously select clips and headbands to match what they are wearing.  It’s so much fun.

Other uses:  Need to add a little colour to that plain shirt or need to match an outfit with your shoes? I use the flower clips as brooches.   Great for the kids too.

Buying: There are two ways you can receive products from Pretty Things Distract Me.  Head over to their website by clicking here or host an e-party.  Hosting an e-party is a simple way to receive free products.  Just book in a date, invite friends to shop (and receive 10% discount) during a period of a week and that’s it.

Quality and Cost: So I walk into diva to buy a black flower clip to wear to a wedding.  $16 later I leave, feeling somewhat dissapointed with the flower I’ve purchased and in a couple of weeks it’s fallen apart.  At Pretty Things Distract Me I found a stunning flower clip for $4.50.  The workmanship is amazing.  You are paying less than half what you would expect the RRP to be.

Note: I have not been asked to do a post or received anything from promoting the products.  I am just sharing with you a great product I believe in; a product that really works.

Pretty: I use the clips as much as the children.  Here are some pretty snaps of the product.

Custom order are also welcome.  Just contact Bec via the contact form here.
