Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Prosilk Tourmaline Digital Curling Iron Review

December 23rd, 2010

Holiday Gift Guide 2010

Gifts Just For Her

Whether you have a fashionista on your list or just want to make sure you look fabulous at all those holiday parties, Prosilk has a product for you. Prosilk specialize in hair, offering a variety of products and tools. Today, I’ll be reviewing a Tourmaline Digital Curling Iron that Prosilk sent me to try out.

PROSILK TOURMALINE CERAMIC DIGITAL CURLING IRON 1"

Prosilk Tourmaline Digital Curling Iron 1″ – $139.95

This digital curling iron heats up to 220 degrees Celsius (428 degrees Fahrenheit) and comes with a 1″ barrel, perfect for creating tight ringlets. The iron heats up very fast, with a digital readout counting up to the desired temperature. Here is a photo of my first test of the iron:

My hair, curled with the Prosilk digital iron

I curled my hair at 200 degrees Celsius – I could see the steam rising as I curled each strand! – and then pinned the back up to create a loose updo. US readers will want to note that the digital readout on this is in Celsius, so adjust accordingly! I had a lot of fun using the iron and will definitely use it again to create cute curled styles. It might be nice if more information was included with the iron, but then again, it is easy to operate so it didn’t affect my usage of it.

Prosilk Tourmaline Digital Curling Iron is available on ProsilkProd.com for $139.95.

Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Blizzie Review & Giveaway – Ends 01/06

December 23rd, 2010

Holiday Gift Guide 2010

Gifts For Kids

Blizzie

Do your kids love slushies? How would they like a simple cup that would enable them to easily make their own slushy drinks – no special equipment needed? Then let me introduce you to Blizzie, a great stocking stuffer idea for Christmas 2010! One lucky Contest Corner reader will win a Blizzie of their own, so read on!

Blizzie is a unique slushie maker that creates frosty treats thanks to its special ice cubes. To create a slushie, pop the Blizzie’s ice cubes in the freezer until frozen solid, add them to the Blizzie cup, then take your favorite pre-chilled soda, energy drink, or juice and pour it over the cubes. Screw on the lid and shake it up until it turns into a frozen treat!

Lemon-lime Blizzie

The key to this is making sure that the cubes are totally frozen before attempting to make a slushie – I had a hard time with it at first because the cubes weren’t cold enough. But once they’re frozen, it’s easy to make a slushie. Bear in mind, this makes a very small serving of slushie, so it’s the perfect serving size for children but might not be enough for an adult.

The Blizzie ice cubes are re-usable and can be used hundreds of times – just rinse off the cubes and pop them back into the freezer! It also comes with a combination straw/spoon that makes it easy to enjoy your frosty treat. I love how simple it is to make a frozen drink, and the fact that it requires no special syrups or complicated preparation. I can’t wait to use this during the summer months!

Blizzie retails for $14.95 and is available at MyBlizzie.com.

Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Stocking Stuffers From CSN.com

December 23rd, 2010

Holiday Gift Guide 2010

Stocking Stuffers

As a CSN Preferred Blogger, I often collaborate with CSNStores.com on review and giveaway features. I was recently sent a $75 gift certificate to pick out a few items for review, and since I’ve found that I can really stretch my dollars at CSN, I ended up buying shoes for our engagement photos (more on that later!) and still had some cash left over. I decided to use the remainder of my gift card to pick up a few fun stocking stuffers:

Solo Cups Bistro Design Hot Drink Cups

Solo Cups Bistro Design Hot Drink Cups, Paper, 8 oz., Maroon, 50/Pack – $5.46

One of the things I bought was a 50-pack of paper cups for Jai – he loves using disposable cups since it means less dishes to wash, so he will be glad to find these tucked in his stocking!

Jai's stocking

Ray-O-Vac Rechargeable AAA Batteries

Ray-O-Vac Rechargeable AAA Batteries – $12.23

These rechargeable batteries were a “Stocking stuffer” for me! I seem to use AAA batteries in everything, so I’ve been needing to pick up another package of them. There’s been times in the past when I had to raid the AAA batteries from my cordless phone to stick in my wireless keyboard – now that I have lots of spare AAA batteries, I won’t have to choose between answering the phone and answering my email when the batteries run low. :D

Tell me, readers: What are you stuffing in stockings this year?
