It&#8217;s features/benefits are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dual functionality:  An ion switch lets you use the dryer with or without ions.
<ul>

<li>Ergonomically shaped handle combined with compact light weight design offers styling comfort.</li>
<li>Included: 2 concentrators for styling versatility</li>
</ul>
<p><em><strong>I was impressed to say the least about this dryer! Learn about what I experienced using the Sedu Revolution!</strong></em><span id="more-184"></span></p>
<p>So, the <a href="http://www.folica.com/Sedu_Revolution_d4724.html" target="_blank">hairdryer</a>, when I opened it out of the package was <strong>incredibly lightweight and high quality</strong>.</p>
<p>I loved that the cord was durable and long so I wouldn&#8217;t be tugging on it as I worked on my hair. The annoying noise isn&#8217;t an issue with this dryer because it&#8217;s so<strong> soothing and quiet.</strong> The dryer made my hair noticeably smooth and silky though it effectively <strong>dried my hair in half the time</strong> it took with my normal ceramic dryer.</p>
<p>I loved it&#8217;s <strong>cool shot button</strong>. I&#8217;m not too much of a heat fan so there are also other levels of heat to choose from on top of that. Packing away on a trip is a breeze, and I intend to take this to the next tech events I&#8217;m on. I found this dryer to be incredibly effective while providing me with perfect, beautiful styling results. <strong>This is a MUST BUY!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re all too busy most of the time to even get dressed let alone put on some makeup.</p>
<p>Here are our 3 favorite products for getting ready quick and still looking fantastic!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-175" title="p8426_hero" src="http://shimmerblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/p8426_hero.jpg?w=250&#038;h=250" alt="p8426_hero" width="250" height="250" />1. STILA CONVERTABLE COLOR <strong>$25</strong> <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml;jsessionid=SH42IL1D1NPRICV0KRTQIGQ?id=P8426&amp;categoryId=C10463" target="_blank">Sephora</a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">This lipstick and blush in one is a non-greasy, sheer formula that adds a natural color and acts like a stain on your lips. It lasts long and is portable making it great for touch ups on the go.<span id="more-173"></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-176" title="p84309_hero" src="http://shimmerblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/p84309_hero.jpg?w=250&#038;h=250" alt="p84309_hero" width="250" height="250" />2. PHILOSOPHY THE SUPERNATURAL <strong>$35</strong> <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P84309&amp;categoryId=B70" target="_blank">Sephora</a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The 4-in-1 high-pigment powder is an SPF, foundation, concealer, and powder in one. It&#8217;s talc free and provides a beautiful satin finish! Great for sensitive and breakout prone skin.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-177" title="p204721_hero" src="http://shimmerblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/p204721_hero.jpg?w=250&#038;h=250" alt="p204721_hero" width="250" height="250" />3. TARTE DOUBLE DOSE <strong>$21</strong> <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P204721&amp;categoryId=S10605&amp;shouldPaginate=true" target="_blank">Sephora</a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">This lipgloss is a sheer color that last a long time, isn&#8217;t too sticky and gives a great healthy color without being overriding. Plus it has antioxidant ingredients like Goji and Acai berry. Smells great!</p>

<p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">- Hair becomes <strong>up to 3x smoother and silkier</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>- Revitalization </strong>of hair softness and shine</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>- No hair damage</strong> in ironing process while <strong>eliminating frizz</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><em><strong>Continue to read my review and learn how YOU can win one a Sedu Ionic Ceramic Pro Iron of your own!</strong></em><span id="more-167"></span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">When I opened up the package, it was simple to unpack. Normally you have to get out the cutting tools to fight through the packaging to get your treasured iron out of the box! The <a href="http://www.folica.com/Sedu_Ionic_Cera_d1560.html" target="_blank">iron</a> has a durable, long cord that swivels so no snagging occurs during your hair ironing process, and the iron itself is super lightweight.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">When I plugged it in, the iron picked up heat fast. Takes about <strong>25 seconds </strong>to heat up. This is great for late mornings or if you need to be ready for events. There is a temperature dial in which you can adjust the heat to your preference (temperatures from <strong>240 &#8211; 410F</strong>). I noticed I only had to go through each set of hair one time. I loved that with the long swivel cord, <strong>I never got snagged, and hair glided through easily</strong>. In the end,<strong> I had super glossy, smoothed straight hair</strong>. I like to use the flat iron, personally to add a bit of shape. I loved that the iron was durable, comfortable, easy, and effective. <strong>I highly recommend the <a href="http://www.folica.com/Sedu_Ionic_Cera_d1560.html" target="_blank">Sedu iron</a>!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I will be giving away one<strong> $200 Sedu Ionic Ceramic Pro Flat Iron</strong> to one very lucky reader. The rules are very simple. Simply add a comment to this post, answering the following two questions:</span></p>
<ul style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">
<li><em>What is your favorite part of your hair care routine?</em></li>
<li><em>Why do you want to win?</em></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Make sure that in the comment you include your email address, otherwise you will be disqualified.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;">The final day for submissions is Sunday, March 8th.</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> I will be announcing the lucky winner on Monday March 9th! Good luck!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-143" title="lalawag" src="http://shimmerblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/lalawag.jpg?w=225&#038;h=101" alt="lalawag" width="225" height="101" />A great article was featured in <strong><em><a href="http://www.lalawag.com" target="_blank">Lalawag</a></em></strong>, the hip new site featuring tech culture, news, gossip, and events in Los Angeles. It&#8217;s a commentary and guide on how to prepare for events without losing your mind basically. I loved it. Share with us what you think! And be sure to subscribe to <strong><em>Lalawag</em></strong>. It&#8217;s good stuff!</p>
<p>&#8220;Awhile back, I wrote an article to help out those who felt they needed some tips in the fashion department… <a href="http://www.lalawag.com/style-tips-for-the-fashionably-challenged/">namely men</a>. While out and about at some recent tech events, I met a few of you that wanted to know when the article for women would be posted. I admit, I was shocked. Since moving to <a href="http://www.lalawag.com/los-angeles/">Los Angeles</a>, I haven’t seen such a city of well-dressed women <em>in my life</em>. Call it a by-product of living next to movie stars whose job is to look good, but the trickle down effect of style seems to have done well for everyone. I was assured, however, that there are some women who could benefit from the knowledge of someone as well put together as myself. *ahem*</p>
<p>After reading Casey McKinnon’s article on <a href="http://www.caseymckinnon.com/blog/personal/2009/02/12/the-2009-casey-mckinnon-style-guide/">helping women buy the best clothes</a>, I wasn’t really sure what I could add to the topic. I have been known to have mild panic attacks preceding events over what to wear and my daily wardrobe can sometimes consist of a rotation of jeans and hoodies. I do have some aces up my sleeve on how to get myself presentable for every occasion even if my budget doesn’t always allow me that “perfect” Marc Jacobs dress I’ve been drooling over.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Cocoon Innovations says its range of useful holdalls are “not just another    pretty bag”. Too true – these cleverly designed bags, from backpacks to    briefcases and handbags, are made from a combination of futuristic materials    and natural elements. This bag, for instance, has a perforated rubber shell    that shows off its laminated mesh interior. There’s space for a laptop, as    well as a section that uses Cocoon’s patented “grid technology” – a fully    customisable elasticated compartment that can be configured to safely and    protectively store and organised all manner of gadgets, including iPods and    BlackBerrys.&#8221;</p>
