And I thought a hairdryer couldn’t get any better!

You may recall last year that I fell in love with a certain hairdryer, the Remington Emi.  And I told you about it and told you about it and many of you went out and bought one!

Well, I didn’t believe it was possible to improve upon the Emi, but Remington has done it with their new 3-in-1-styler!   They sent me one to review and I *love* it every bit as much, if not more.

It looks like a normal dryer, but it comes with three fabulous attachments!

First, the curling/waving attachment.

This is the piece that made me fall in love with the Emi in the first place, and it works just as well as the original, actually even better!   I think it works a bit faster, unless it is my imagination.  It got my hair nice and wavy in no time flat.

Secondly, the straightening attachment.  This works AWESOME. Really, if you blow your hair out straight every day, or even often, you want this.

It really focuses the heat of the dryer on the particular part of your hair that you are trying to work on!

Thirdly, the attachment that was new to me, and that I was quite afraid/skeptical of, the Volumizer.

But I LOVED it.  Now, my hair doesn’t particularly need much extra volume, but if yours does, you will love it even more!  What I loved most was that the bristles on the attachment allowed me to blow my hair out pretty straight with one hand – just using the dryer, not the dryer AND a hairbrush!  Since my left hand is usually cramped and sore fron holding the hairbrush after blowing my hair out straight, this is awesome for me!  Really, it’s a great attachment for not only pumping up the volume, but one-handed styling!  And I was still able to get my hair dry pretty quickly.

The 3-in-1-Styler also has Eco-friendly heat and speed settings.  If you want to save the environment and dry your hair at the same time!  Which I, of course, DO.

So, I am gonna give the Remington 3-in-1 styler TWO enthusiastic THUMBS-UP!  If you didn’t get the Emi last year, you definitely want to get this one now!  It’s only $26.49 on Amazon, that’s a price I can live with!

If you want to see more life-changing Remington products, head over to their newly re-vamped Facebook Page where you can find videos and tips from celebrity stylist Richard Marin and soooon – you can get exclusive coupon codes! Me likey!

Remington totally gave me this hair dryer to review.  That’s all that changed hands.  I know, bummer.   All opinions are totally mine!  Because really, I’m not THAT cheap!

Gearing up for the big 33

I swear to you I am not completely obsessed with my birthday, I mean, this is my second post about it in a weeks (*cough*it’sSeptember5th*cough*) but this year I have a new reason to be obsessed about it.

I’m not going to be home.  I’m going to be away from Bobby, who always fusses over me and makes my birthday special.

Instead, I am going to be with EMILY, who makes fun of me and puts me in my place.  So you can imagine my apprehension.  We are going to spend labor day weekend with our kids and no husbands (don’t rob our houses, our husbands will be there!) at my parent’s place in Virginia, for funzies, because Em’s never been.

And there on top of the mountain, with only dial-up internet, miles away from distractions, I am going to carry out the threat I made MONTHS ago and force Emily to watch my favorite movies, Anchorman and Hot Rod with me!  And since we’ll be at my parents’ she’s not even going to get to drink any alcohol to lift her spirits.  (Though we WILL have Mountain Dew!) Nope, she’s just gonna have to have some good, clean FUN with me. Well, if you can call those movies clean.  Some good, PG-13 fun!

And she’s offered to bake me a chocolate cake!

And since neither of us  have a car big enough for both our families to fit in, Chevy is loaning us a sweeeeeeeeeeeet Traverse to drive on the trip!  (Which is awesome because last month when we were in Virginia you may recall we had to COAST our broken-down car down the mountain!)  So who knows, we might get crazy on chocolate cake, Mountain Dew, Will Ferrell, and Andy Samberg, and go joy-riding down the mountain!

All I gotta say Berry, is, no pressure, but that cake better be good! Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the big 33.  And be glad it’s not YOURS, Forever 31.

The deals at Kroger aren’t TOO exciting this week, unless you like free pasta, WHICH I DO!! I only spent $22.99 this week and saved 51%.  We didn’t need much and I was happy with how I did. I got nine, count ’em nine boxes of free Ronzoni pasta tonight!  It is on sale for $1, and there are a few coupons you can print that double to $1 to make it FREE!  PLUS, the packages of Garden Delight ROTINI at my Kroger had 50-cent-off PEELIES on them, which double to $1.  So I had 8 coupons I had printed from my two computers, and I got one of the packages of Garden Delight Rotini (there were only 4 left at my Kroger!  My friend Jen took the other three. Hope they restock!)
