My Blow Dryer Died

My blow dryer has gone to blow dryer heaven and I'm looking for a new one. 

I think my Conair Infinity Pro was at least 20 years old.  It did the job; it dried my hair.

Now I'm looking to achieve 'salon quality results' (smooth, frizz-free, shiny locks) at home. However, the variety of wattages, styles and brands available today is, to say the least, OVERWHELMING. 

Not to mention pricey, YIKES!

So far, this one looks pretty good and I may just get it:

Cute, eh?  Are you familiar with it? 

What's your take on blow dryers? Do you have one you can't live without? 

Please share and I will be forever grateful!  

Hairdressers - why don't they listen?

I just had my hair cut. I took a picture of what I wanted along with me (always do) AND explained what I 'saw' in the picture just in case there was a 'perception issue'.

This is the picture:

This is what I got:

WTF? It happens every time with every hairdresser I've ever used. I keep hoping things will go differently (you know, maybe this time ...) but they never do.

This is what it looked like after I styled it myself:

Better, but still not what I wanted.

Am I alone here? Does your hairdresser listen to you when you tell her what you want done to your hair? 

Please share.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving is coming up this weekend here in Canada.

I'll be hosting again this year as my daughter is too busy with work and family life; mainly these two cherubs. 

It will be the usual fare ... turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans ... apple and pumpkin pie later.

What's your favourite Thanksgiving dish? 

New Glasses

Got my new glasses yesterday.
