Today I introduce to you the Goody spin clip. Have you guys seen the commercial for this amazing tool?? I bought it about a month ago and I love it! Following the simple directions in the box, it's so easy to use and holds your bun together well. All you do is twist your hair into a bun and literally spin the pin into your hair. I really recommend it to anyone who wants a quick messy bun without the fuss of bobby pins. It's available at Target or most drug stores and so worth the $5-6 (2 pins in one box). If you have a lot of hair, you might need 3 or 4 pins. Let me know if you have used it, or is planning to purchase it.
This summarizes up a fun triple date I had with my friends on Saturday- they are the best company.
Also celebrated a special birthday this weekend. ♥
I'm glad most of you are enjoying the pages in between my notebooks. I really appreciate your comments and support. I hope it inspires you to make your own! :)

I've always wondered if those pins actually work! You make me want to test it out now =) & as always, I love your doodles! I really like your handwriting as well :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up on these pins! They would be perfect for me since I always lose bobby pins.
ReplyDeleteohh I watched the video and it looks so easy to use! I really want some ahha, that would be so much easier for me other than carrying around a packet of bobby pins lol
ReplyDeletegorgeous post as always C ♥
oooh the messy bun is perfect! I hope I can find something like that here! and your doodles and drawings are so cute! love it :)

awww, those illustrations are so adorable! i've always loved buns :) i remember they were compulsory for ballet when i was younger! just like blair waldorf, i absolutely love bows!
ReplyDeleteThose pins look great, I wonder if there's something similar in the UK.
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks so cute with the little ribbon in it! <3
ReplyDeleteI think I'm off peak now :D
ReplyDeleteI was dying a few hours earlier cos I'm capped and your photos wouldn't load x_x LOL!
OMGGG THE SPIN CLIP IS SO COOL :D
I might just have to get one for summer :D
Cute flags! Cute doodles! Cute Christine!
Hahaha!
+ Happy Birthday to that special person ;)
waaaaa i just watched the commercial and it's amazing! i'm going to go look for these amazing pins now. :)
ReplyDeleteps. i love your notebooook pages. mine are never quite so interesting :(
your doodles in the notebook are so cute. i cant get enough !
ReplyDeleteah, i love the spin clip thing ... but does it work on short hair? or does my hair have to be medium length?
YES ! class of 2010 BABBBYY !
rach.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I want to try it too ;)! And I hope you had a great weekend
ReplyDeletelove the bun and the journal.
ReplyDeleteThese spin clips look great! I wonder if they would work on my hair? I have thick hair that reaches past my waist. I'd probably need about seven clips to keep it up ;)
ReplyDeleteI really love your notebook pages, what kind of pens and highlighters do you use? I love the colours. I'm so inspired to get a grid style moleskine now and do the same!
And thanks for your comment by the way~!
I used two lights (not sure the exact name of the kind) with square soft boxes over them. I also use a white photo box/cube, which would have probably given a more soft and even light, but I didn't use it for shooting the little miniature bits because I wanted to be able to easily get my hands in the shot and fix the parts when they fell over :)
I have been considering trying those- glad to hear that they might work for me. I wish they had been around when I had lonnnng hair, but I am happy there is something out there that might hold my hair in this heat!
ReplyDeleteLovely blog, glad to find you-

ReplyDeleteWhat a cool hair tool! I ought to try it! I know I have such trouble when it comes to doing ANYTHING with my hair, especially something as simple as tying a bun.
ReplyDeleteI heard about the spin pin a while ago but was unsure if it would work for me since I have such stick straight, layered hair :P
ReplyDeleteI love the notebook shots!

Hey, in reply to your comment that is not technically my yard, it's not behind my house but we rent it, it's like an allotment. The cool part is that it is still near the centry of my city, but it looks as if you're far far away!
