HANA 1.5 Flat Iron Review!

A couple of weeks ago, I was asked to review one of the Best Flat Irons.  I decided to give it a try. I received a package in the mail after a couple of days, filled with lots of goodies.  I have heard many good things from this particular brand before. I owned a flat iron that I bought through Ulta  but I wasn't happy with it.
From the first time I used it was  I was hooked , it made the hair look straight and pretty and the most important thing for me was that my hair did not look dull at all.  This one makes the hair straight from the roots I mean all the way to roots which I did not have with my other flat iron. I truly recommend this flat iron.  I must say I was a little bit skeptical at first, with trying it out but this one really is what I have been looking for in a flat iron. Check their collection of Chi Iron  and T3 Hair Dryers. while you visit their website.

I have taken a picture right when I washed my hair, which was curly, after that I use some  rollers and let it air dry and then used the Hana Professional Flat Iron to style it I still  left  it a bit wavy cause I like a bit of volume.

I love HANA

Big Thanks to Brian and Misikko for letting me test this awesome Flat Iron.

Thursday: Noir et Blanc

This morning waking up was a bit hard for me, I wanted to stay in bed. I decided that I had to shake off all the laziness that was crawling all over my body, had a healthy breakfast and drove myself to the Gym. I found this cute little purse the other day at a Thrift store, I found 2 skirts to but in the end I decided that I did not need them, although I am still thinking about one.

What's cooking?

I made home made tomato carrot soup on Monday for dinner and yesterday I made a pasta dish, these were a hit with the kids cause the vegetables where in there and they could not get them out.  For both I included pancetta in the recipes.  I normally make the pasta with either shrimp or chicken, and then add vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini or spinach. For the cream I used Organic heavy cream with a little bit of shaved Parmesan cheese. When you serve the soup you can add a bit of home made salsa mine has a kick to it or a bit of pesto or sour cream whatever you prefer I like goat cheese sometimes too, the kids don't.

Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did.

When shopping for ingredients at the Farmers Market yesterday I came across a card, well a lot of cards, I am always attracted to words that inspire. I decided to buy one and framed,it and put it my so called work room where I make jewelry and other crafts. So whenever I feel like I need a little boost I can just glance and it and I am ready to go!

Today I decided to put my pony tail a bit high and tied it with scarf around my hair, I like it this way I should experiment more with my hair. I always say yes I am going to try this out but  I end up not doing it. Speaking of my hair 3 weeks ago I got a package in the mail from Brian Hunt at Missiko  I got a Hana Professional 1.5" Flat Iron to test and review so I will be doing that this week. I can't wait to share that with you guys. 

Since I do not have anything planned other than maybe a trip to the grocery store, I am wearing jeans and tee. 

This is what is on the card. I hope it inspires you .



                                      Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did.

Know when to let go and when to hold on tight.

Stop rushing.

Don't be intimidated to say it like it is.

Stop Apologizing all the time.

Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph.

Spent time with the friends that lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down.

Stop giving your power away.

Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting.

Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it.

Finally know who you are.
