Birthday surprise/Bath & Body Works

1 Comment

Even though for some reason my gift was re-directed to STRATFORD yesterday, today in the mail came a little birthday surprise from my Bestie who lives 6 hours away. I can’t wait to go burn this candle that smells like amazing and I can’t stop sniffing it. This weekend I’m definitely going to spend a little dough at Mexx with the gift card she gave me!

What’s your favorite Bath and Body Works scent? Did you get an e-mail yesterday too, telling us all that Coconut Lime Vebena is discontinuing, along with other scents? Disappointing! See?

On my lunch break today I decided to go into the mall to see if I could snag any deals with my Mexx gift card, I ended up popping into BBW as well. Not just 50% off like the sign above says, but I got 75% off the discontinued soaps. $1.50~ EACH! Did you know that when you get those coupons on your receipt that they never expire? I had a Save $10 when you spend $30 on my receipt from October 2010 and it was of course still valid. My entire purchase came to $24. TWENTY FOUR DOLLAHS!

I got my hair cut yesterday after work. I went to the same salon that I used to go to about two years ago. Before I switched and went to the guy who screwed up my hair in April. I asked this new guy to not cut a lot off, but cut a lot off at the same time to make it healthy. I didn’t want anymore layers because it was looking stringy. This is what he came up with! Straight across cut, that looks thicker at the bottom.

I used to have really long hair about 6 years ago when I first met Scott. Since then my hair has basically stayed the same length, a little longer than shoulder length. I can’t seem to grow it out any longer than that or it looks bad. I get regular trims every 9 weeks so I can let it grow out instead of getting it cut every 6-8 which maintains the length. I get the split ends cut off. However, I do wash and style my hair every day. I tried for about a month once to just wash it every 3rd day and I just couldn’t do it anymore. I love fresh, clean hair lol. OH THE HAIR DRAMA. I’m so sick of it. Grow already!


My hair in 2005. Loved this length.


At a wedding last October 2010. It looked good here too.


Yesterday vs. Today. Before/After my hair cut. Now I’m starting over so to speak. All one length (sort of) and trying to baby it, perhaps I’ll just not wash it often. Ugh. I hate that.

Misikko Hana Air

1 Comment

The hair care company Misikko based out Pennsylvania sent me this Hana Air hair dryer for me to try out and review. It’s always so fun opening up the packages from this company because whoever puts them together always goes for a little more effort and decorates everything so pretty. This time things were Easter/Spring purple, like the soft eye mask for sleeping, a satin bag with some nail files and even a black felt flat iron carrying case decorated in a big polk-a-dot bow.

Even a sample of Colgate Wisps were inside this care package as well! These will be great for on the go, you don’t even need water. My boyfriend already claimed that these will be his — ha ha.So the Hana air Professional hair dryer retails for $314, but it’s on sale for $194, I’m not exactly sure how long the sale is on for, but that’s a huge percentage off!

The warranty is two years on this hair dryer, so remember to keep all papers with your box in case anything ever happens. As most hair dryers this day and age, this one too is Ceramic heat with infared ionic heat—which basically means your hair won’t get frizzy when blow drying with this particular hair dryer.

There is such a large selection of hair products over at Misikko and almost always they have some sort of sale going on. They also have free shipping on this hair dryer too. The hair dryer was sent out in the same week that I received it, so that was pretty quick especially since I’m in Canada.

I also received the Hana Shine Shield thermal protectant which is a bottle of 6oz hair serum that you put in your damp or dry hair before you apply any heat whether it be blow drying, curling or flat ironing your hair.

The one photo below is grabbed from their website—I just wanted to show you the heat setting details on the hair dryer itself.So many different types of settings to achieve what you want in the hair dryer. High/Low heat, and High/Low cool air.

The hair dryer comes with an EXTRA long cord and has one of those clicker type of ALCI safety plug that goes with it.

Wet hair before, dry hair with Misikko‘s Hana Air hair dryer after!

Awesome hair dryer! Check them out.
