Ceramic Heated Straightening Brush

My hair has a wave to it.  I really have to work at it if I want smooth straight hair. Even then it usually only hast a an hour or two then it stops behaving again  Straightening iron work but take some time.  Blow drying it straight with a vented brush works but that takes some time too. If I could just brush my hair and make it straight that would be great.  Actually that’s just what I did.

Sela Beauty’s ceramic heated straightening brush make it that easy to straighten hair.

This brush is electric. It plugs into to an outlet just like a hair straightener or curling iron. It heats quickly and recover quickly. It’s surprisingly light weight for the size and shape of the brush. It maintains a constant temperature. Temperature can be adjusted depending on the thickness of your hair.

It has safety mechanisms in place for anti-scald, anti-static, and auto shut off feature.

This brush was comfortable to hold. I could tell it was warm but never did I feel like I could possibly be burned. I felt like I could get closer to the root of my hair unlike with flat irons.

It was easy to use and really did get my hair straight!

I Have a Milk Frother, Now What?

Ok I’ve always wanted to try a milk frother.  I’m a coffee lover and of course that frothy milk on top adds to the coffee drinking pleasure.  I had the chance to review the MLVOC Handheld Milk Frother . I was so excited until I realized I didn’t really know how to use it. I mean, I thought I did but it doesn’t seem that I do.

The MLVOC Handheld milk frother is battery operated and light weight.  I put the batteries in and turned it on.  At first I though, maybe if I got when of my prep bowls and tried it first then I could dump it into  my drink.  Yea that wasn’t good. The milk was spritzing me and my phone while I was trying to take a pic.

It did froth the milk some though.  Probably would have been better if I knew what the heck I was doing.  I dumped it in my coffee and it actually looked nice.

I tried to froth it a little more in the mug but I ended up spraying my self with hot coffee. So I have to ask, what is the secret to milk frothing? Is it better for the milk to be room temp or cold?  Sure I could google it but I know my readers are smart.  I want your tips! This is a convenient milk frother and I want that extra something for my coffee.

Wine for Valentine’s Day? Don’t Forget the Wine Opener

Valentine Guide 2015

You went all out.  You cooked a homemade meal for your sweetheart. You set the table. The candles are lit. The bottle of wine is on ice (or champagne). You surprised your valentine with a romantic dinner at home.  You grab the the to pour a glass and realize…um, how do I open this? Do we even have a corkscrew? I think I have one on my key chain, oh shoot no that’s right, it broke.  You end up trying to pry it out with a knife or fork and it doesn’t go so well. Everything was perfect until now.

But it’s not Valentine’s day yet and you still have time.  Let’s go ahead and get that wine bottle opener now.  The X-Chef corkscrew set will be just what you need. Whether it’s dinner at home or a bottle of wine in your hotel room, it’s portable.  It’s stainless steel so if you accidently drop drop it in the hot tub it’ll be ok.  It also have a foil cutter for those stubborn bottle seals.

I’ve not used one quite like this before. It didn’t come with instructions but after playing around with it for a few minutes it’s actually pretty efficient.  You see that stainless steel arm with the arrow on it on the right side of the picture above? Well after you get the corkscrew in the bottle of that stainless steel arm fits on the lip of the bottle.  You then you use it like a lever to pull the cork out.

Blog 007

I just pulled it to the side where the lever is and the cork started sliding right out.  This is a heavy duty corkscrew set.  It’s not made cheap at all. Although surprisingly it’s only $3.99 on Amazon as an add-on item right now. Original price says $35.99. Not sure how long it will stay with the $3.99 price tag so you might want to grab it cheap while you can.

If you’re not sure if you have a wine bottle opener, don’t have a portable one, want to give one in addition to gifting a bottle of wine, this is a nice one to get. Made well, works well, affordable. Bam! You got this Valentine’s day thing down!

Valentine Idea For Your Health Conscious Valentine

Valentine Guide 2015

Is your Valentine still going strong with their Valentine resolution. Working out, trying to increase their water intake, trying to avoid sugar laden drinks? I have an idea for you.  Libre Tea glasses.  Even if your love is not a tea drinker, just hear me out.  I promise it’s more than a tea glass.

I’m not a huge tea drinker. I do enjoy a glass of green tea or chai tea here an there but it’s not my go to drink. Want to know what my favorite use for Libre Tea glasses are? Water intake. Sure you could fill it up with water and go. Nothing wrong with that but if you like to add flavor to your water this is where this glass really comes in handy. Water infusion. Maybe they like to add fresh mint to your water. The strainer built into the lid is perfect for gulping down some cool refreshing mint water without getting mouthfuls of mint leaves.

Perhaps they like to add some fresh kiwi and strawberry in your water but not super keen on eating the fruit when their done.  Hey it might be a texture thing I feel ya.  I’m that way. They can still get the fruit flavor infusion without having to eat mushy fruit while they’re drinking.

It is, of course, great for loose leaf or even bag tea.  Check out this video to see how to brew tea in the Libre Tea glass.

One of the other benefits of this glass is that it can hold hot or cold beverages. It has a glass interior with a durable poly exterior. They come in 3 different size: original 9 oz, Large 14 oz, and a 10 oz mug. They also have a selection for colors and designs to choose from.  This time around I chose the large Starbust Libre Tea Glass.

Blog 004

I had just brewed some loose leaf citrus mint green tea so that’s what you see in my glass.  The cap and bottom is a pretty turquoise color.  With different shades of green, turquoise and brown starbursts around the glass.  I also own an original size classic glass.  I feel like the bigger one I use more for water intake and water infusion while the smaller one I generally use for my tea.  But tea lovers might like it the other way around.

Valentine For The Kids Without The Sugar – I See Me

Valentine Guide 2015

I like to get my kids a little something for Valentine’s day.  I’m not a fan of getting them a lot of sugar.  I usually do end up getting them the little chocolate heart boxes that have like 5 pieces of candy in them. But they eat the candy and it’s done.  Now what if you give your child a gift that would remind them how much their loved whenever they feel like and maybe even encourage them to read.

ISeeMe.com offers personalized products like growth charts, stickers, coloring books, and more.  For Valentine’s day you can get them the personalized book “Who Loves Me!” Valentine Sticker Edition.

Valentine Who Loves Me book

I got this book to review for my son.  First of all, he loves getting little surprises in the mail. I’ll be honest, he wasn’t super excited when he saw a pink book at first but, when I started reading he had a huge smile and was waiting to see what else the book would say. His name, all his family that was close to him was mentioned in the book and he loved it.

The illustrations are beautiful.  It can be customized with a picture of your child and a dedication you choose in the front of the book.  In the closing, you can put your child’s name and birth date.

I read my son the book when we first got it in the mail.  When I asked him what bed time story he wanted a few days ago.  He picked this one.  You can still see the smile on his face when I read it.

Blog 003

You can find Who Loves Me! Valentine Sticker Edition book on ISeeMe.com along with lots of other fun and personalized Valentine gifts that would make a good replacement for candy or other Valentine trinkets.
