You Choose Meghan’s New Do Poll & Giveaway *CLOSED*

So we here at The Fashionable Housewife like to have fun and in having fun, we obviously love to get our awesome readers involved… enter the “You Choose Meghan’s New Do” Poll and Giveaway. We have a volunteer, Miss Meghan, who will be getting a new and exciting haircut based on what you, the readers decide. We will give you Meghan’s before (both front and back) and will offer you 4 choices of her “After”… based on which style gets the most votes, Meghan gets that haircut. She is brave, although I am pretty sure we are all stylish, so she has it pretty good. To make this even more fun? Each time you cast a vote, tweet or share on Facebook, you will be entered into a drawing for some awesome hair goodies… but let’s start with Before and Afters, shall we?

She is lovely already, we know… but she is ready to branch out and try something different. Her hair has been long and straight for quite some time now… but what to choose?

 

With the choice of #1, Meghan will be cutting off quite a bit of length and adding quite a few layers. Side swept bangs and layers to frame her face, this look could be quite the departure from her norm.

#2 also brings a much shorter length but this time brings in some angles that her current do does not have. This haircut is edgy and sharp, something that might be fresh and exciting?

Can we say bangs? Hairstyle #3 will be a nice change with blunt bangs and angles that frame the face. Longer than 1 and 2, this style is sexay and different. Would this suit Meghan best?

With #4 comes long layers and sideswept bangs, playful and light. This versatile style could bring Meghan from straight to sassy with just a few snips?

Now which will you choose?

We will be doing a follow up with Meghan’s before and after shots (so we can all see how glamorous our choice was) and also announce a lucky winner. A lucky winner for what? Well, like I mentioned before, with every vote you cast, you are entered into a drawing for an awesome giveaway. We thought it would be fun to give away some pretty darn cool hair care products in honor of a pretty darn cool hairstyle poll! One lucky reader will win a prize package provided by The Fashionable Housewife that includes some of our favorite products from Organix®, The Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil collection, valued at over $30.00!

Voting for your favorite style is your mandatory entry. Choose #1, #2, #3 or #4 and tell us why you like it best!

If you want extra entries, you can tweet about this poll (be sure to follow us, link back to this post and include our twitter handle @thehousewife) or share on Facebook (“Like” us, link back to this post and make sure you tag The Fashionable Housewife)! Be sure to leave comments for each entry. Up to three entries per person. Poll/ Giveaway runs from May 2nd, 2011 until May 15th, 2011 at Midnight.

 

So what are you waiting for? Place your vote!

Are you a White Swan or a Black Swan?

March 29th, 2011 by Amanda Davis

I don’t get to the movies as often as I would like to so of course, I have to wait for things to come out on DVD to see what all the fuss is about… well today is the day that Academy-Award® winning Black Swan is out on Blu-ray and DVD. I could not be more excited. Critics raved about Natalie Portman’s performance… I mean, she won the Oscar for her role. It’s going to be good.

So in honor of it’s release, we thought we would have a little fun with it. Are you a White Swan or a Black Swan?  Find  out with the Black Swan Experience:

Immerse yourself into the world of dreams and reality. Site users are shown a series of film clips and asked to click on words/phrases that best describe their emotional reaction to that clip. The experience morphs depending on the responses chosen, ultimately leading users to “transform” into the White Swan or Black Swan. The result is a tailored piece of visual poetry, an individual’s emoti-poem, that can be shared with others. All the emoti-poems are also housed in the video gallery to create a collective, evolving experience.

 

BLACK SWAN
Capture the Electrifying Thriller That Has Audiences on the Edge of Their Seats on Blu-ray and DVD March 29

Starring Natalie Portman in her Academy Award® winning role*, BLACK SWAN is a seductive yet haunting film that will leave you breathless. Directed by innovator Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler), this Best Picture nominated film boasts a wealth of talent including Portman (Closer), in the performance of her career, as well as Mila Kunis (Date Night), Winona Ryder (Girl, Interrupted) and Vincent Cassel (Ocean’s Twelve). In the film that Daily Variety hailed as “…wicked, sexy and ultimately devastating… fascinating,” Natalie Portman’s mesmerizing transformation into the Black Swan leaves you breathless – and wanting to see it again. Become part of the haunting phenomenon and own BLACK SWAN on Blu-ray or DVD on March 29th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

BLACK SWAN follows the story of Nina (Natalie Portman), a ballerina in the New York City Ballet trying to make it to the top. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But a new dancer, Lily (Mila Kunis), also impresses Leroy and becomes Nina’s competition. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly with her innocence and grace, but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan with her fiery personality. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

The BLACK SWAN Blu-ray disc contains special features not included on the DVD including exciting behind-the-scenes looks at the filmmaking process and interviews with the cast and director Darren Aronofsky. With the best-available sound and picture quality, the Blu-ray format provides viewers the premier way to experience the stunning Academy Award®-nominated cinematography, memorable character performances and flawless choreography of BLACK SWAN.

*Best Actress in a Lead Role, Natalie Portman

How Was Your Day?

A friend of mine sent me a link to this calendar.  I love it!  365 dateless faces that you complete with the appropriate emoticon at the end of the day.  After all, what more do you really need to know!  She found it on Etsy.com, and the information is attached in a blurb at the bottom of this post.  It was listed in Euros which converted to about $14.00, shipping from Spain.  I’ll try to find a domestic version and post the link.  The Fashionable Housewife hopes you have a day!

Life Calendar: How was your day?

How Was Your Day? Calendar

Life Calendars is a series of a different calendars which highlight an aspect of life.

How Do You De-Stress During the Holidays?

As if things weren’t hectic enough through Halloween, now that it’s November it’s time to start gearing up for the holidays.  Meal planning, travel planning, gift planning, shopping, holiday cards, school events, parties, entertaining…it never ends, and it can take a toll on even the heartiest of fashionable housewives.  To keep your cool when everyone and everything else is spinning around you, make sure that you take some time every day to quiet your mind and slow down.  Try taking a nap for 20 minutes.  Have a cup of tea and read your favorite magazine.

If you can make it to the gym or a yoga class, by all means go, and savor your time there.   If not, even a few simple yoga postures or a brisk walk around the neighborhood can go a long way in helping you keep things in perspective.

When I’m pushing the outer limits of sanity I go get a manicure or sit down and draw in my journal.  What are your favorite stress escapes?  Let us know and we’ll post your suggestions to share with our readers.
