Really? Thanks Conair!

About 5 years ago I bought my first hair straightener.  I didn't do any research - just went to Target, picked one off the shelf and paid no more than $40 total.  The next morning I tried it and... it sucked.  

Girlfriends gave me some advice, so later that day I went to a specialty store and painfully dropped about $200 on a CHI.  All I can say is.... BEST INVESTMENT EVER!  It was awesome - I loved it - and I've been happily using it ever since.  Until....

Well, before I had a child, I had plenty of time to get ready for work.  After showering, putting on various products, applying makeup and getting dressed, I probably spent 30 minutes blow drying, straightening and styling my hair, each morning.  (Or wore a ponytail on days I wanted to sleep in a little.)  Now that I have my lil guy - I don't have that luxury anymore. 

I heard of some hair straighteners that dry and straighten hair, so I did some research.  Thank goodness I did because just the other night I almost dropped $150 on a product that received a lot of bad reviews.  I decided to go to Bed Bath and Beyond and was armed with my 20% off coupon and $25 giftcard (thank you D!).  I found a product by Conair that cost less than $30 and decided to try it out.  

Long story short, I am impressed!  I really didn't think it would be a great product and was even prepared to return it.   Yeah, no, I'm keeping this thing.  Who knew?  Thanks Conair!
