Xtava Collapsible HairDryer Diffuser Review.


                           The nice thing about this diffuser is that it fits most hairdryers.  You don't have to have a Xtava dryer but I have to say I have one and its really nice. I have a blog post all about their dryer.  I like that it is collapsible so you can store in cabinet or under sink and wont take up much room. When I first used it I liked how big it was because I have thick hair it takes a long time to dry.  I have curly hair but if I let it air dry it frizzes up. With this I towel dry and add some gel or mouse. Then I tip me head and move the dryer up into my hair and do that all over. One thing I will warn you is that you cant be to aggressive with this because it will collapse if you press to hard. I have beautiful curls when I use this. With some hairspray these curls last all day. When I want curly hair I go to this for the perfect outcome. I shouldn't say perfect cause some days nothing helps this mop. Below you will find a product description and a link to it on Amazon. 

COMPACT AND COLLAPSIBLE - Design for easy storage and travel. Simply press the diffuser down or pull the top up to compact or extend the device

    Facial Blotting Paper [Day by Day Beauty] Review

                                                I never had oily skin till i got into my mid 30's. At the end of a work day my T zone is very oily and shiny.

    MMA/BJJ Rash Guards Review


                                                                      Rash Guard BJJ



    This was an interesting shirt to review. I am not into martial arts but I do workout.  I like that it is made in the USA. 
    Sizing seems to run a bit small. It does lay right just wish I would have gotten a size larger. That being said it does let me know when I am losing weight by how it fits, so that's a bonus. The shirt feels very similar to a rash guard that one would use for swimming or surf boarding. The material doesn't breath the greatest but in the winter it was nice to keep the warmth in.  The material is slippery and does not lend itself well to floor work. Plank was extra hard to do when trying not to slip. I do like the movability of the shirt and that I don't have to worry about getting tangled in it. Some other shirts of mine are to wide on the top or bottom and some movements can be tricky. Its a nice shirt just have to wear it for the right workout. Below is the product description and the amazon link to check it out.

    Xtava PRO 2200W Classic HairDryer (Charcoal Gray) Review.


    Xtava PRO 2200W Classic HairDryer
    This is a very stylish hairdryer sleek and love the black color. I haven't had a new hairdryer in about 7 years. Now my dryer wasn't a cheap one but is not as nice as this one. That being said I did throw away my old one and will purchase a Xtava brand if this ever breaks. I will definitely not wait 7 years again. Hairdryers have changed so much then my last one. This dryer is very lightweight and easy to operate I didn't even have to read the directions. On another note away from the normal use of this I spilt some scented wax in my bathroom last weekend and used this to warm it up to clean it off the floor. Back to the main review I am very impressed by this dryer and love this with the diffuser for my hair. Below is a product description and where to get it. It is currently unavailable on Amazon but I will guess any of their hairdryer will be great.

    ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT 2200 WATTS - STYLE WITH EASE: The Allure Dryer combines an ultra-powerful 2200 W motor with a lightweight frame to create the perfect styling tool. Looking good is almost effortless with the included Concentrator Nozzle.

Be fabulous - because you are.
  • 2 SPEEDS \ 3 HEAT SETTINGS - LOOK YOUR BEST: The Allure features two speeds and three heat settings to offer control and professional styling versatility for all hair types. While high heat is appropriate for thick or coarse hair, low heat is suited for thin or fragile hair. With the ability to customize the settings to your unique needs, you will take hair drying to a whole new level.
  • CONCENTRATOR NOZZLE - TAME THAT FRIZZ: - We all have bad hair days and the Allure is here to make them go away!
