The best damn $20 I've ever spent

You know what they say .... 

we're out of the 80's, but every girl likes some volume & the older I get, the flatter my hair gets.

No bueno. 

I had been going to a hairstylist in Indy that I loved but she was $50 a trim. As much as I loved her, I couldn't justify paying that and driving up to Indy during the sumer to do it so I decided to go back to the girl I've used at home before. 

I was just in for a regular trim with sydney, the girl at home, when she showed me the life changer.

Sydney always has super volumized, gorgeous hair & I'm always asking if people round-brush their hair because I cannot, for the life of me, do it. 

Naturally, I asked her & she said yeah, she used a Revlon round-brush-hairdryer. 

She showed it to me, seemed pretty convincing & it was only $20 so I decided I needed to go to Target that day & get it. 

Which I did. 

My mom was all giggly when I showed it to her because she knew I'd get it stuck in my hair - I've done it tons of times & tons of times she's spent hours trying to set round-brushes free from my hair.

I was determined.

& thank god I was because the result after using that round-brush-hairdryer? FREAKIN AMAZING.

I'm talkin volume out the wazoo, curled under ends, Gorgeous hair. 

The brush doesn't spin so it's pretty hard to get it tangled in your hair but it does blow out a stream of hot air & have 2 different attachments - a larger barrel & a smaller one. 

After just one time of using the round-brush-haidryer I was totally hooked & even brought my neighbor over to see it I was so excited. 

ps. Now my mom loves it & is frantically searching for one to have at home when I take mine back to college in 2 weeks! 

If you love the look of round-brushed hair but are incapable of holding the dryer while spinning the round-brush, try this! You'll never use a regular hair dryer again! 

Just Dance 2

I got a comment on my post about the weekend this week in which Ali said, "I need to find out what this craze over Just Dance is all about!" and my response to that is a resounding, YES YOU DO! & so does everyone else in the world who may not know.

One night during Christmas break, I was babysitting 3 very active kids & they begged me to play Wii with them so as any good babysitter would do, I did.

Maddie put Just Dance 2 in & before I knew it, my mind was totally blown and I was working up a sweat dancing & my belly hurt from laughing! 

As kids tend to do, after about 3 songs, they were bored with it & I started begging them to play with me! 

After I got done that night I rushed home & told my mom about the game. 


I'm sure she was only half listening thinking I has lost my mind, but little did she know, I'd ask her to buy it a few nights later for a game night at my house with friends & with just one song, she'd be more just as in love with it as I am!


It was a total hit at the game night & she and I played it all Christmas break. 


By the time I headed back to school, she couldn't part with it & even her little sister for Big Brother's Big Sister's loved coming over & playing it so I left it at home. 


But this weekend, I was reminded of my love for the game & my mom said she hadn't been using it much lately so I brought it back to school with me.


It was storming last night, so after lots of studying, my friends Jessie & Emily & I played it and oh my gosh we had so much fun! Plus, we were all sweating hard-core after five songs. I'm telling myself that I definitely worked off all of the Reese Eggs I ate last night & honestly, I probably did! 


If you're looking for a blast of a workout that's super convenient & can be done with friends, pick up Just  Dance 2 for the Wii. It's good for your emotional & physical health and I promise you won't have any purchase regret! 

Ps. I'm really liking this font color, what do you think?
