Remember DS's Tintin hair? Well, that little tuft had a mind of its own I swear. It was ALWAYS standing up! Two minutes after a shower, DOING! It springs back up again. Not one to let a shopping opportunity pass, I told PF one weekend, "It is absolutely imperative that we embark on a clip-hunting excursion TODAY. Time to tame the tuft!"
So we made our way to Marina Square and went to Mothercare, Kiddy Palace... and all the other little shops that sold party frocks. Sadly, I couldn't find any clips suitable for little baby girls. She can't use snap clips because that would mean pressing down hard on her little head. *shiver* And she can't use french clips either because her hair would get stuck at the sides. So we left Marina Square defeated and tufty reigned.
Then a friend recommended Gift Haven and I was in love! I spent HOURS poring over the website. What should I get? Boutique bows? Tuxedo bows? Classic bows? And indecisive poring doesn't end there. You get to choose all your ribbons too!
101 types of bows + 101 ribbons to choose from + Indecisive person = Decrease in said person's work productivity
After the cows finally came home, I sent in my orders and five days later, PING! The clippies arrived in the mail! Okay technically they didn't arrive with a "ping". More like with a "Miss ah, can you sign here and here?"
Clockwise from top : Set of 4 clippies, Set of 3 russian doll clippies, Pink and brown boutique bow clippie, Russian doll rosette clippie and a matching Russian doll brooch for mummy! So yup yup, I chose all the different ribbons myself and matched them with buttons. For the rosettes, I got to choose my favourite fabrics. And yes, I love polka dots and russian dolls. :)
I requested for all my clippies to be fully lined so it won't tug on DS's hair.
And they all came with a non-slip pad so the clippie stays on the head!
I'm pleased as punch with the clippies I ordered. I think I squealed when I opened the envelope they arrived in. :p They are just too too cute. And when you pair them with a cute baby, lagi can die!
Look Mummy! No more tufty!

Love the ric-rac on the boutique bow!

Beginner's Route to Online Casinos
The online casinos are a great source of entertainment and fun. That said, there are a number of things you should take into consideration before playing. Choosing the right casino should be your first step in your quest for a great gaming experience online. As such, choosing the right casino will lead you to have a lot of fun and also win at the same time. If you find yourself with a pathetic online casino, you are bound to run into a lot of problems with poor graphics low-wage outs.
2. Regular brick-n-mortar casinos normally ploy subtle methods to divert your attention from the game. They employ pretty hostesses and sweet-talking managers who are forever trying to entice you to buy a drink, or whatever. Now when you drink above the average, you lose focus on the game and make mistakes. This is precisely what the brick-n-mortar casinos want you to do is spend your money buying chips, then spend it on drinks and food, and then lose both your concentration and money! Online casinos cannot play such tricks as you play on these from home and, therefore, there is nothing to distract you or divert your attention from the game.
