Freebies from the Crib: The Tassi
This weeks freebie is brought to you by Shawna Ellsworth, the woman behind the Tassi.
What's a Tassi? Well, I'm glad you asked. It's the simple, yet ingenious solution to the “hair problem”. What "hair problem" you ask? You know, the one where you have to pin your hair back with 3 clips, a headband and one ponytail holder and still your hair manages to get soapy and wet while you wash your face. This great little hairwrap gently holds back the front of your hair (bangs and all) and neatly packages up the back (no matter how long) while you wash your face, put on make-up or take a shower. And just like the website claims, it allows you to "do what you do without messing up your Doo". I have had one for a while now, and I am telling you, it's brilliant.
The story behind the Tassi is great as well. My favorite part is that even though Shawna had a nice word-of-mouth business making and selling the patented Tassies out of her home for many years, it is only now, after raising her five children, that she felt ready and able to take the Tassi from small home business to the next level of a thriving company complete with awesome website, perfect packaging, a cool "how-to" video. Cue Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven."
On to the freebie: Each of our TWO winners will receive a Tassi in the color of their choice. And to show you what a great gift a Tassi can make, each winner will also receive one for a friend! So make your comment below to be entered to win!
And FYI, for a limited time, you can get free shipping if you order two or more Tassies through their website.
How to win this Freebie:
-You have until Friday (4/25), midnight EST to enter.
-Make a comment (any comment) on this post
-Please don't post under Anonymous - use a Blogger login or the "nickname" category.
-Winner will be randomly picked and announced Saturday(4/26) morning.

I am one of those women that has a headband, plus a few clips and bobbie pins to hold back my hair when I wash my face. This product is such a great idea!

What a brilliant idea! I was just complaining about this very thing to my husband the other night.

My wife uses a railroad hanky bandana that probably dates back to High School. She could use something new. I'm sure I won't win because I just did two weeks ago. Freebies rule!

Ingenious is right! Man, I need one of these! THanks for the cool opportunity to get this prize!

OOOHH, I am in desperate need of a new headband for face washing.

I don't always want to wash my hair in the shower. This would be a perfect way to keep my hair dry.
posted by Stephanie at 4/24/2008 07:59:00 PM
Great concept. My daughters and I would love these!
