BaBylissPro Nano Titanium Ultra Thin Straightening Iron

So I know what you’re thinking, she’s going to tell us that this is just the best straightening iron ever and we have to have it!!  Well, guess what???  You’re absolutely right!!! For those of you who have known me for a long time, you’ll know that I was born with thick, curly sometimes unmanageable hair.  And for those of you who’ve only known me for a short time you’re maybe thinking I would have never guessed and you’d be right cause my hair is always straight now and I’m here to share my secret.

To understand how good this product is I have to give you a little history.  For the first 16 years of my life, I spent the first hour of every day with a hairbrush desperately trying to detangle my crazy curly hair.  It was a painful and time-consuming process so I decided it was time for a change.  So I took the decision to chemically straighten my hair.  This worked great!! I absolutely loved my hair every time, but I’m sure my curly hair sisters could relate, I was so concerned about that chemical process and what it was doing to my hair and my body since if it even got on my skin just a little, by accident, I would end up with a sore blister.  So I thought well that’s the end of that I guess it’s back to the good old days of one hour every day combing out my hair.  However, this fortunately was not the case. 

My aunt, gifted me with this BabylissPro flat iron and without any chemicals, I can have beautiful straight hair without having to worry about damage.  It has an adjustable temperature setting so it doesn’t burn your hair and yes it lasts for longer than just one day, does not dry out your hair or cause split ends.  I’ve been using it for years now and love it so much.  I know it’s a little pricy but all flat irons are not the same, the money is absolutely worth it if you can use it all the time and it doesn’t damage your beautiful hair.  The size makes it very convenient as well, as you can also use it for beachy waves if you’re feeling for a change.  So girls if you’re considering purchasing your own straightening iron for home, I’m telling you this is the one, it’s the one that most professional salons use anyway and guys if you’re thinking about that perfect gift for her, this will be a great choice.

Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel

If I were to be very honest about myself I’m no perfume enthusiast. I’m not one of those girls that has 100 perfumers on their vanity and delights in wearing different fragrances every day depending on their mood.  If fact, the only time I purchase perfumes is when I’m choosing it as a gift for someone.  However, I was strolling through the mall one day with a girlfriend and we decided to browse through one of our usual stops Stechers, that has all sorts of lovely trinkets, including perfumes and that’s when everything changed. 

We were sampling perfumes and it was the very first time that I smelt what is now my all-time favorite perfume Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel.  It was love at first smell.  At this time, this perfume retailed for $1000.00 TTD, so I didn’t purchase at once but went home and couldn’t stop thinking about it, which was strange for me cause I’m not a perfume person.  So you guessed it, I got it at my next trip to the mall and I can tell you it was worth every cent!

That was maybe about 10 years ago and I kid you not, up till this day I hardly ever wear this perfume and don’t receive a compliment.  When I got it, I didn’t realize at that time that it was an international best seller.  Even when I go to perfume stores and I tell the clerks that it’s my favorite and I’m just looking to maybe try something else, they smile and nod and say well there’s nothing quite like that but I’ll show you what we have.  You don’t have to take my word for it, just try a google search and see what comes up as the number 1 best seller for women and even better than this, on your next trip to the mall sample it for yourself and share in the comments below your thoughts.
