THIS IS BIG NEWS FOLKS!

We have another giveaway! And this is a good one. Do you remember when hair straighteners first came out? I DO. I was sophomore in high school and a friend let me borrow one before we went to the roller rink and I felt like  a million bucks because for the first time I had shiney, sleek hair and not blond fuzz.


Have you guys ever heard of the website Misikko? Well, they are a website that sells wonderful hair products, and one of their best is the HANA hair straightner. You guys, this thing is a dream (and their shipping is crazy fast). The hot plates are 100% ceramic and you can control the temperature, which I think is really great because the front of my hair needs a little less heat, and the ends are a wee bit split so I try not to damage it more. I have been SO happy with this hair straightener and with working with Misikko, and we want you to be happy too!


We are giving away one Hana Professional 1.5" Hair Straightener (currently on sale for $129.99).

All you need to do to enter is visit Misikko's website, and then leave a comment below telling us the highlight of your summer so far.  You MUST be a follower of our blog (via google friend connect) to enter!  We will pick a winner on August 27th.

 Misikko also sells chi hair straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers.  AND if you use the code TheDuplex10 you will receive $10 off any $100 purchase.

I so want this one! The highlight of my summer is waking up to the smell of pine and being able to bask in the sun's rays with a swim to cool off any time I want!!

Kelli said...

I would LOVE this straightener, even though my hair has never been quite as fuzzy as that lovely picture up top.

The highlight of my summer has definitely been the summer camps I did.

Cortney said...

Do you know what is worse than blonde fuzz? Red fuzz!!! It's unnatural. My highlight of the summer? Getting a reverse sock tan sunburn in Santa Cruz. Why didn't anybody tell me my ankles were having out??

Steph B. said...

Awesome! I need a new straightener anyway. Highlight of my summer... hmm... finding a job was a plus! That is a really boring adult highlight. But a necessary one.

Kristin said...

Yay! Excited for this give-away! The highlight of my summer was spending time with my brother and family who visited for my birthday!

Ashley and Tyson said...

In the past, Tyson and I always travelled together. This summer was different. I stayed home with my precious newborn baby girl, Chloe. We hit the pool, fed the ducks, had play dates, enjoyed 4th Fireworks, strolled all over, enjoyed the Clovis Farmer's Market on Friday nights, and the cool mountain air up at Shaver. We kept it local this summer and it's been one of the best summers of my life. If I had to choose a highlight, it would be...simply, taking walks in the evening with Tyson and Chloe.

And if it makes any difference, in June, my 7 year-old Chi finally died on me and I've had some pretty wild hair ever since. If I do straighten it, I go completely ghetto and I use my clothes iron. Why haven't I bought a new Chi? I'm in frizzy, wild hair denial. I think I've forgotten how wonderful it is to have an amazing straightener.

Ashlovely said...

The highlight of my summer is all the time I spent with my family. I don't have any family in Arizona, but since I teach I was able to escape a couple of times a month and spend time with them in cooler climates. Now that school's back in who knows when I will see them!

Miss Megan said...
