This is how we do the 80's

Tonight I'm in the top ten of this crazy local singing compeition. The theme tonight is 80's so I'm trying to get inspired. I feel like I don't have any outfits anymore! I have a crazy anime north post to do but for now enjoy some 80's inspo! I'm singing like a virgin. Oh mann.

My New Hair Straightener, Review on the Hana Titanium from Misikko

Recently, I've been back on the hunt for the perfect hair straightener.

My first purchase was a Chi Flat Iron and I don't have a clue how I lived before it. Although my chi served me well for a few years, I eventually moved on to a GHD. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about my GHD. I was a bit underwhelmed with my first few uses but I adjusted eventually. I paid over $300 and I expected amazing results. I feel like it made my hair healthier but the temperature was not adjustable. Besides that major flaw, after only two years a cord in it must be broken because it turns on an off the whole time I try to use it.

For the price I paid I defiantly expected a better made flat iron. Mine was purchased from Sephora so I am sure of its authenticity. (There are so many fakes! Watch out!)

I knew I needed a new flat iron but spending hundreds of dollars trying to find the right one isn't exactly in my non existent budget. For once the hair gods gave my wallet a break and sent me a marketing angel right when I needed one! John from Misikko Hair Straighteners sent me the Hana Titanium Ionic Flat Iron to try out. I'm honestly really happy with it. Hana isn't a brand I've heard of before this but it's defiantly worth checking out.

(Look at the amazing package they sent me! It was so beautifully wrapped! They even sent me the sweetest handmade note. LOVE. All around. They are outstanding. )

The best part of this iron is the versatility of it. The heat can be set to as low as 140 and as high as 450 F. This is great for a hair stylist or a house with different hair textures. With the high heat settings you'll be able to smooth the thickest of hair. The Hana straightener has titanium iron plates with tourmaline in it (retains heat better). It also comes with a 2 year warranty and what has to be the best customer service ever. Misikko beleives in creating a long lasting relationship with their customers which is obvious by the packages they send out. I'm still convinced this company only exists in my perfect world... I'm going to order from them just to feel the love they send out!

Because reviews can drive me crazy and a lot of times I just skim through, here is a list of pros and cons.

'

PROS

- Adjustable heat from really low to really high (Great for all hair types)

- Has the smoothest plates to smooth, relax and avoid pulling

hair

- Seals out humidity

- Works great for ethnic hair as well

- Heats up in 6seconds and stays heated

- Mirror surface on plates (prevents scratches)

- 1.5" plate (Straightens hair faster, great for thicker hair)

- 2 year warranty

- Can curl/ flip hair.

- Good price for such a high end straightener at $174.99 comes

with free shipping too!

- Misikkos customer service is beyond amazing.

- Comes with free silicone matt and travel pouch, so you can avoid burning your house down with your flat iron like my friend did.

CONS

- Not good for someone with super short hair as it has a larger plate (Check out the Hana 1" straightener as well if you have short hair or need to share with a boyfriend)

- Might be a bit pricey for some

I would defiantly use an oil like coconut or jojoba before straightening for a super shiny finish. This flat iron seals in the oils well which is great for your hair. Hana's shield serum is a great product that does a good job at smoothing and protecting. Its very slippery in a good way, it doesn't leave your hair greasy and you really don't need much.

After such a great experience I defiantly want to save up for a hair dryer from Misakko. Have you guys tried any new straighteners lately? What is your must have hair tool?

LOOK HOW PRETTY EVERYTHING WAS WRAPPED!

Etsy Deco Love

Hey everyone,

As you know, I'm really trying to become established on Esty.com. It's so much more work then it looks! I keep posting though so please check out my shop whenever you have a chance! I'm honestly terrified of ending up on Regretsy. Etsy buyers can be pretty odd and honestly its near impossible to tell what will sell and what wont! One of the cutest artisans I've come across lately is Christina Bias with her adorable deco shop Pink Sugar Crystals.

Her avatar immedtialy caught my eye. This is her uncomprehendingly cute bichon Mary Jane.

I would die if I saw this dog.

The first thing to catch my eye in her shop was the decoed Hello Kitty headphones. I lovee them!

This blinged out light switch is a must have for any princess room.

I'm also totally loving the decoed Steve Madden heels. Perfect for prom or a wedding.

Besides etsy lurking, I've been putting a lot of thought into what I should do to my blog layout. I'm kinda thinking of doing more of a basic, clean white page like every fashion blogger in the world is doing. I'm really lost though! Opinions?

I'm so sorry for not blogging, I've been dying too but I've been busy with a million things. One of the things I've been up too has been helping my boyfriend move. I'm super upset he moved but I'm trying to make the best of it by making it all as girly as possible. I want to paint it pink. I might get away with it in his room! Sadly my plans for a toilet like the one pictured below are totally not going to happen. His washroom does not deserve this deco greatness anyways!

What are your easy ways of pimping out a room quick? The more temporary the better.


I've also been in the craziest fight with my hair lately. I swear, I feel like I know how to tame my crazy, frizzy wavy hair and then out of nowhere I feel more clueless then ever. I'm pretty sure the last keratin complex treatment I did messed up my hair. The first two seemed to be fine. I got the first one professionally done and did the second one myself without a problem. I then did it myself the third time and my hair felt pretty dry and unhappy after. I also have had a super bad like chemical burn or rash on my neck and ears. I don't notice it sometimes and then other days i scratch a lot. I totally need to go to the doctors after scratching like a maniac the last two days.

Out of curiosity, how many of my readers have either dry/course/wavy or curly hair? How hard do you guys find to manage your hair?


I'll leave you now with a picture of a pretty dress and a promise that I WILL blog this week!
