My Raves for the weekend !!!

Wow !!! I gotta rave about T3. Found at places like Nordstrom, Sephora, QVC, and more, T3 has hair dryers & flat irons that are actually GOOD for your hair, without damaging your tresses. I have tossed my old hair dryer & CHI Flat Iron ( Yes, I said CHI, the expensive already reputable brand of flat irons ) and said hello to T3 & I'm glad I did. My hair feels & looks healthier than it ever has & with minimal styling products. Here's the before scoop:

Old Hair Dryer Drying Time : 15-20 min.
T3 Drying Time : 4 MINUTES !!! Think I'm joking ?!? No way. I had my husband time it, two days in a row. He even noticed a difference in the way my hair feels.

But it all makes sense. T3 even says they promise lightening fast drying time, 60% faster than conventional dryers. Even better than the truth in my case.

Here's some info in case your interest is peeked.

The first to harness the remarkable electrical qualities of the semi-precious, tourmaline jewel (the world's most potent ionic mineral), T3 products deliver the fastest, healthiest heat-styling humanly possible. How it works: Compared with conventional styling tools, which rely on scorching heat and blasting air, all tourmaline-infused T3 products are based on breakthrough ionic science, which offers speedy styling while preventing static, frizz, and color fading. In fact, thanks to this high-tech technology, T3 tools are so gentle, you can use them everyday and damage won't be an issue. And with their new, head-turning Bespoke Labs collection—featuring Flawless™, T3's Tourmaline technology—the lock-loving line has revolutionized the world of hairstyling products (and your morning routine) to a whole new level.

Highly prized by those in the know, tourmaline is referred to as the "electric stone"—when it's heated up or under pressure, its unique molecular structure converts nearby atoms into negative ions. Luckily for everyday stylers, these negative ions speed up the evaporation process to help dry the hair in half the time. This, combined with the penetrative yet gentle infrared heat waves, converts dry, brittle, and frizzy into unbelievably smooth, silky, and shiny.

And while it is more than your average store bought brands, T3 has a great warranty, and if you buy from places like Nordstrom or Sephora, you can take back your purchases anytime for any reason.

My raves
Featherweight Dryer $200
Narrow Duality Iron $160
Overnight Dryer $130

( of course, you can also be smart & find a good seller on eBay where you can find them for MUCH cheaper than the prices listed above ;) )

SKINSTORE.COM DISCOUNT !!!

ok check out skinstore.com for 20% off some popular brands of skincare, make-up & haircare !!! the offer ends July 8th !

ENTER CODE SUMMER20 at checkout & also get FREE SHIPPING !!!

philosophy fans ?

here is a great offer .....

Raves !!!

Time to rave about my new cute little trinket.... it's the Vornado Flippi Personal Circulator
(ok, so to most of you, you would just call it a fan) but it's not. Vornado, one of the best manufacturers of "fans" , you can find them on vornado.com, or Bed Bath & Beyond. In store, at BB & Y, they will only have the Black Flippi V8 at $39.99, of course use the 20% off coupon that everyone gets in the mail to bring the price down to $31.99 . It's small, personal & super quiet. With 2 speeds, and option to oscillate, and also flips down when not in use. I love it.

I loved it so much, I checked out BB & Y's website & they have the mini Flippi's also for $24.99 + $5.95 shipping. But if you order any product available online at the store itself, they will still let you use the coupon, so it helps off-set shipping. I bought the raspberry color V6 Flippi . It weighs in at just over a pound.

You gotta check it out. Rachael Ray even recommends it !

holy crap... i am really back to REALITY !!! lemme tell you, Hawaii was breathtaking, amazing, 100% perfect weather, gorgeous scenery, yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy ( is that enough yummy's ) food & enough places to shop that would satisfy me for a lifetime. Hmm, and this is just one island. Here goes,,,

Visited the island of Oahu
Stayed in the city of Honolulu - South Shore
Stayed in the area of Waikiki

the whole understanding was confusing until i finally stayed there & got it figured all out.

North Shore is definitely more tranquil. We stayed in the perfect spot, central to keep us busy for Dave & I's 8 days in beautiful Hawaii.

You definitely get the fever. You can wear tank tops at 7am until past midnight & you'd feel good the whole time.

Food & housing is helluva expensive, but heck, the greatest place for a vacation.

Let's see, Dave had to have sat outside tons of stores while I shopped & collected my shopping bags, empty or not, I got shopping bags from everywhere. I ate long rice & Kalua Pork all the time, and never get lost & say you are by an ABC store. There are ABC stores every 10 ft. SERIOUSLY !

But all in all, before I write a novel, i will say that it was something I will never forget. Dave & I had the greatest vacation. Parasailing, Jetskiing, luau, dinner cruise, shopping, laying out at the lagoon & more... It was all I imagined & more...

Stay tuned for the discounts & coupons... I promise i will be back & kickin soon... I am still lazy & on Hawaii time... really !

=) hugs

off to hawaii in the morning everyone !!! vacation for the next 2 weeks !!!

hugs to all of you !

Mothers Day is May 11th

here is a list of my winning history, the crazy stuff i did, and how i loved it.

one of the crazy things i remember is when i was 14, a local radio station in la called power 106, did a nightly thing called high school dj's. for an hour, they would let you come in & basically dj on air, taking calls, announcing songs. it was something i totally wanted to do. so i called, they gave me a quick phone interview, & i was asked to come in the next week. mind you, alot of people couldnt get a chance to do it. i got 3 of my girlfriends & we got a ride to la to do this. to try & make a long story short, we got over 2 hours of radio time instead of an hour & the dj couldnt stop laughing. it was the most hilarious thing he had to put up with. it was so freakin cool.

so through the years, i won numerous concert tickets, and a few years in a row, i got jingle ball tickets from rick dees on kiis fm, the dj who previously on before ryan seacrest. i have also won game systems, and other crazy stuff. forever, my friends told me i had this luck with the radio because i would always win stuff.

graduating high school i won a $1000 scholarship to start off junior college & when i got to long beach city college, i was granted over $2000 in more scholarship money. but i had a boyfriend,,,oops i meant major distraction, then he became an ex-boyfriend. so i was going through a boy crisis. thus, i dropped out of school & cashed out the scholarship money. sweet.

by then, i went from bank teller, to verizon wireless customer care rep, to 911 California Highway Patrol Dispatcher, where i would make a substantial amount of money for a girl starting out the career at 22.

something was missing. i moved out of my parents house & loved into an apartment working graveyards. how boring & what a lack of social life.

what i did next i never thought i'd do, try out & go for miss greater lakewood usa 2002.... yeah, with the crowd all tearing up from my on stage questions, i was crowned a beauty queen. WTF ???

competing against 72 other girls in the state with way more experience was catty. needless to say i didnt win, but hell, these are the girls that compete for MISS USA !

retired from pageant life.. i concentrated on clubbing in hollywood, then settling down on a career i loved, and eventually meeting the man who makes me, besides his kids, his everything. i cant ask for more.

Moving to San Diego in 2003, i became homesick & miserable. My shopping was literally retail therapy. I discovered the internet & online shopping & malls all over again.

oh, and eBay, I love eBay. buy & sell. it is all good, if you play the game right. it is the place to get some good stuff.

anyhoo... i am girly girl. always have been always will be.being a mom of 3 hasn't taken the youth out of me at all. although sometimes i question my age on the outside, when others tell me i don't look my age... it makes me grin.. i guess i better keep buying what i buy to make look fab.

so in addition to all my beauty raves, i will post coupons, sales, promos & good places to go & eat.
it's my wealth of knowledge of this stuff that i'm good at.

keep me bookmarked

http://whatsnewrachelpoo.blogspot.com

welcome people !!!

so after a long while of people telling me i needed to write a book on the crazy things i manage to do, find, buy, etc... i thought i would start out blogger style. my plan is to write often & keep you all updated on shopping, where to go to get the deals in stores & online & about whats going on with me & my family.

a bit about me:
for anyone who has known me for any amount of time ( the longer you've known me, then you should have plenty of stories of your own )

first of all, i love to shop. i love to eat. i love to do the little things in life that smiles on people faces. i also do the crazy things that have given me some great opportunities leaving me with some cool stories to tell.

hmmm... and i'm only 30.
