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!

A Playard to Love: Bright Starts InGenuity

I was really, REALLY excited to receive my first piece of baby gear to review for my new baby boy: the InGenuity Playard from Bright Starts.  Since we weren’t planning on having another baby (whoopsie!), we had given away all our baby gear long ago, and being able to review and keep these items is a real blessing!  It was fun to get this playard out, set it up, and imagine our little boy-to-be who will soon be using it!

Here’s what I like about this playard:

  • The bassinet can be inclined if baby needs to sleep at an angle!  Totally cool!  It is really easy and takes only seconds to change from flat to incline.  They call this feature Sleep Easy Incline.

  • It has a sweet changing table.  The sides on the table are nice and high so baby can’t roll off of it, and the middle is nice and flat so you don’t feel like your kid is always rolling toward the center.  Also, you can easily rotate the changing table to the side without totally removing it when you’re not using it.
  • Extra-large storage space on the side to hold all your diapers, wipes, ointment, etc.!  I never had this with our old playard and am SO looking forward to taking advantage of this feature!
  • Easy to set up, and easy to take down.  This is important to me because I am mechanically deficient and seem to make everything harder than it should be!  It also has a really awesome, totally unique feature called One Less Step that allows you to fold the playard without removing the bassinet!  Say what??  Doesn’t that rock?  It’s the only playard out there with that feature! *Love*
  • It’s easy on the eyes. I won’t lie.  This thing is going to be sitting in my living room and I want it to be aesthetically pleasing!!
  • It comes with a very handy carrying case which makes it easy to tote when you need to travel.

You can get this bad boy at Target (where it qualifies for free shipping on select baby gear!)  or Amazon, and if you’re looking for a great, functional, pretty playard with a nice price, I’d say the BrightStarts InGenuity is the way to go!  I’m so glad to have it in our home as we prepare for the arrival of our little boy!

Like I said up there in yonder first paragraph, Bright Starts gave me this playard to review!  All opinions are my own, and this post was written solely by moi.
