This day I love.......: Elsa

My girls still very much love Frozen and whilst Frozen fever has calmed down quite a bit they still love the film and love to dress up as Anna and Elsa. They still ask for Frozen things for Christmas and with this in mind I thought I might put together a little gift guide

Disney Frozen Elsa 3D Shimmer Shaker Bubble Bath

My girls love to have a bath and this 3D Elsa shimmer shaker bubble bath is perfect. From H&A and available exclusively at Sainsbury's with an RRP of £5 this is a wonderful stocking filler. Elsa is a good size and the sparkles add a real touch of magic.

Disney Frozen Elsa Tame Your Hair Set

Another perfect stocking filler from H&A. With an RRP from £4 this is also available exclusively from Sainsbury's. My eldest really wants her ears pierced and has been told to wait until she is a little older. At the moment she is also really wanting her independence and to be able to do her own hair. This kit is perfect for her as it contains everything she needs. She is able to recreate Elsa and other magical hairstyles. It even contains clip on earrings!

Samsonite suitcase, backpack, holdall and pencil case

Both my girls love to pack bags. My youngest in particular has to pack everything in a suitcase and given the chance she would take the suitcase with her everywhere. Samsonite have just launched a brand new range of suitcase, backpack, holdall and pencil case all with a Frozen theme. I know this would be something both girls would love. Perfect for sleepovers or for school.

Large cracker

Ok not strictly a gift but Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a cracker. Poundland have an amazing selection of Frozen goodies, everything from tableware to gifts. They even have these large Christmas crackers. Perfect for any Frozen Fan

Disney Frozen Elsa Shimmering Bath Tints

Let your little ones release their inner Frozen magic with these Elsa shimmering Bath tints. As the shimmering bath tints hit the bath water they magically change the colour of the water. My daughters love to scatter them into the water like snowflakes and pretend they have magical Elsa powers. A wonderful gift from H&A

Elsa SoftPal

I was lucky enough to see the SoftPal back in July. These glowing characters are perfect as a night light as they softly light up a bedroom. They can be used as a portable light and it can be switched on for 5 minutes by simply tilting it. They would make a wonderful gift. Made by Philips and available from Argos, Amazon, Shopdirect and B&Q.

My girls aged 4 and 2 are Frozen obsessed. They randomly burst into Let it go whenever the mood takes them and much to the amusement of passers by. They want to eat from blue plates as this is Elsa colours and all blue cars are Elsa cars.

My eldest daughter came home from school to find a special deliver from Flair and Rubies. She opened the box to find a beautiful Elsa dress from Rubies and Elsa magic snow sleeve from Flair. She was incredibly excited and began to get changed.

The Elsa dress is beautiful and comes complete with cape, it was perfect for twirling and singing let it go. She has already asked if she can wear it when we go see Cinderella, as she knows that we will also be seeing Frozen Fever the new short film. It is released just in time for the Easter holidays from 27th March. I cannot wait to take her.

She put on her Elsa magic sleeve by using the velcro, which fitted her tiny wrists and stayed in place. We then began by putting in the magic snow. With hindsight we will do this outdoors in the future.

The magic snow sleeve comes with everything you need, the bracelet, magic snow [aka silly string], water bottle and a Elsa glove.

Everything was easy to put on, my daughter could do it herself with little help. It was then time for her to unleash her magical frozen powers. She loved squirting the magic snow everywhere, but the power seemed to run out after 10 minutes.

Not to worry we then used the water bottle. This squirted water and it will be a lot of fun in the summer for the girls to play with.

The spray on both the snow and water have a really strong reach, the ceiling was covered in magic snow as was the other side of the room. Probably better for outdoor use. My eldest daughter loved having magical Elsa powers and has told all her friends about them. Hopefully this short video will show you how much fun she had

Ever since watching Frozen, my girls and many other children [as well as some adults] have been dreaming about rocking Elsa’s classy and loose braid. With a little practise, the braid can be completed in just 10 minutes and all you need is a fine-tooth comb, a hair tie, a curling iron and hair spray. Here is a step by step guide to help you get the look and keep it looking cool all day long. This guide has kindly been put together for me by Rock, Pamper scissors.

Before You Start

This style works if your hair has not been recently washed, as freshly washed hair will be a little too smooth and silky. It is also possible to buy hair extensions from your hairdresser.

Volumise

Elsa’s hair looks larger than life, so you will need plenty of volume to achieve the right look. Divide the hair into three sections and starting with the top section use a fine-tooth comb to tease the hair back towards your head then lightly comb the front section so that it becomes slightly frizzy. Repeat this with the other two sections.

Braid

Use the three volumised sections to create a French braid. Elsa’s braid begins at the upper back of her head, so this is a good starting point. Make sure the sections are big and chunky and the braid is nice and loose. As you get to the nape of your neck, braid to one side so that the braid drapes over your shoulder, then secure the braid with a clear hair tie. Pull at the sides of the braid to make even looser and more cartoon-like.

Wisps

To mimic Elsa’s wispy bangs, pull out shorter pieces of hair from the braid so that they frame your face. This will give the impression of bangs without having to go to a hairstylist.

Curl

These wispy pieces now have to be curled to create a bouncing look. Use a curling iron to loosely curl the ends of your wispy pieces and then wisp them back again.

Style

Now use your hands to style the wispy pieces back into place, laying them on the upper sides and top of the head. When they are perfectly positioned, secure them with hairspray to complete the look. Because this braid is very loose, you may well find that it falls out during the day, especially if your hair has recently been washed. In this case, you can secure your braid with strategically placed hair grips to keep everything in place. If you really want to look like Elsa, add a tiny blue bow to the end of your braid and you are good to go.
