Sedu Revolution Pro Tourmaline Ionic 4000i Hair Dryer - Review

Just a month ago I purchased a flat iron from Folica, and love it.  Then I saw the Sedu Revolution Pro Tourmaline Ionic 4000i Hair Dryer and had to have it!  One thing I hate about doing my hair is drying it.  I hate the fact that I have to stand in the bathroom for about 20-25 minutes just to dry my hair.  If I would let it dry partially and then blow dry I'd be left with a frizzy mess.  Not with the Sedu Revolution Pro!  I'm absolutely "blown" away by the power of this compact blow dryer.  Not only is it full of power, but it backs all the power up.  I have purchased many blow dryers that have left me less than satisfied.  This is definitely a winner! 

Here's a few key features:

• Dual functionality; ion switch allows you to operate with or without ionic generator 

• For smooth and straight: with ion
• For volume: without ion

• Ionic generator seals the cuticle, locking in moisture

• 40% more compact than conventional dryer

• 30% less weight

• 6 speed/heat settings

• Cool shot button

• Long lasting motor with 1875W of high power to produce unsurpassed air speed

• 80 mph record air speed

• 86m3/h air flow

• Includes 2 concentrators for versatile styling

• 9 foot cord

• 2 year warranty

• Made in France

I absolutely love the case it comes in.  This is going to be perfect for when I'm traveling.  No more tangled cords.

On and off, heat settings, and ion button all on the back of the handle.  


Typically I would blow dry my hair, and then have to straighten my hair to reduce the frizz and make it straight. It's pretty amazing that since using this I haven't touched my straightener once.  Not only do I get perfect results with the concentrators, I get good results without it as well.  I highly recommend this hair dryer.  Perfect for you or even for a gift!  

You can find the Sedu Revolution Pro Tourmaline Ionic 4000i Hair Dryer at Folica for only $159.  They even have a program where you can get $40 off your blow dryer purchase when you recycle your old one with them!

Sweet Baby 31 Weeks

Sweet Baby weighs as much as four Oranges!

I can't believe Sweet Baby will be here in about 9 weeks!  The time has flown by so fast.  Yesterday my sister threw a shower for us.  I cannot thank her enough for all that she did!  It was absolutely incredible!  I'm so very lucky to have a sister, and even more happy she's going to be an Aunt!  Hip Hip Hooray! :)  She's super crafty and made this adorable umbrella for over my chair where I sat to open gifts. 

Unfortunately most of my pictures came out blurry, so this is the best of me and hubby!

About our baby:    This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. She weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. She can turn her head from side to side, and her arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath her skin. She's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.    (summary and weekly image from babycenter)

About me:  Feeling great, and super anxious to meet our Sweet Baby!
How far along? 31 Weeks 2 Days   
Total weight gain:  24lbs
Maternity clothes? Not yet, just bigger sizes. 
Stretch marks? Just by my scars from my gallbladder removal. 
Sleep: When baby is sleeping :)
Best moment this week: My sister throwing me a baby shower!! :)

Worst moment this week: Traffic on the turnpike.  Thankfully no bad moments other than that. :)

Miss Anything?  Being able to lift more.
Movement: Yes! :)
Food cravings: Grapefruit, strawberries and watermelon!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Raw ground meat/chicken.
Gender: Baby GIRL!
Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Heartburn and sleepy! 
Belly Button in or out? Small and closed in, but not pushed out.
Wedding rings on or off? Off.
Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy! :)
Looking forward to:  We have our 32 week ultrasound tomorrow, can't wait to see our Sweet Baby!

Melon Berry Splash Juice

I absolutely love fruit.  I can eat my weight in fruit easily.  One thing I love is fruit juice, however I don't care for  juice that isn't all natural.  The best way I can ensure my family has fresh juice is to make it at home.  So that's what I plan on doing!  Instead of using a juicer I use a blender.  I'm one of those people who believe that when you use a juicer you're throwing out more than your taking in.  I want all the pulp, and I want whole juice!
Since being pregnant I crave watermelon like crazy, so I was so tempted to just drink watermelon juice.  Then I was craving frozen strawberries and lemonade.  So I threw it all together in the blender, and splish splash made some awesome homemade juice!  I hope you try it out.  It's pretty addicting.


Melon Berry Splash Juice
Serves 3


4 Cups Watermelon
Juice of 1 Lemon
10 Frozen Strawberries, partially thawed

In a blender combine the above ingredients.  Blend until smooth.  Enjoy!
