Misikko Flat Iron Review‏ and Hair Tutorial

I start with a freshly washed hair and just comb it through with a wide tooth comb or pick.

Next I separate a row of hair on the bottom and round brush while blow drying

Next I go around the bottom layer of hair first, combing through, then flat ironing each section.

You can see the flat iron will glide easily over each section since it is combed through first.

As you can see here, the bottom layer is complete.

I section off another layer of hair and go around again with round brush and blow dryer.

That section is finished being round brushed and blow dried and you can see how the ends aren't straight, but rather, curl under.

Using the Misikko Flat Iron again, I glide it over each section.

And, here is that section once it's been flat ironed.

Next I round brush and flat iron the very last bit of the back.

You can see how nicely that turned out here.

Don't forget to flat iron the bangs.

Here is finished product.

Brian from the Misikko Company was kind enough to send me a Hana Professional 1.5 inch flat iron to review.  I took my time getting around to the review because I wanted to use it for a bit before giving an opinion about it. 

I use a flat iron almost every single day, and the first thing that I noticed about this iron is the plate size is perfect for my hair length.  The iron did not grab or pull at my hair as I have had flat irons do in the past and the ceramic plates produce an ionic heat that doesn't destroy your hair.  You can see how shiny my hair is and that is without the use of a shine serum or spray.

The quality is excellent, it's very user friendly and I like that it has different heat settings (I keep mine set on 302). 

The Misikko Company also carries: Chi Hair Straightener, Best Hair Dryer and HANA Salon Products. 

Please let me know if you have any questions about my hair regimen or the Misikko Hana Professional 1.5" Flat Iron.  Misikko provides a "How to Use a Flat Iron" guide, which I think is very useful as well.

Misikko has been reviewed by a few petite beauties lately, here are the links to the ones I know about, if I missed you feel free to yell at me ;) Lol......(Seriously, let me know and I'll add you in  :)

I thought I might try to take outfit pictures in my new room but it didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped.  It isn't as easy to see the details of the outfit and the background is a bit cluttered for a backdrop. 

 What about you guys, any preferences? 

By now I think that I am the only petite blogger who hasn't done her review yet for Misikko yet, but I'm going to try to do mine this weekend along with a hair tutorial.  If you have any questions relating to this subject, please leave them in the comment section I will answer on that post.

I hope you all are having a great week ;)

So the construction project isn't quite done yet, but I wanted to share with you guys another little project I worked on last week. 
I will be the first to tell you that any craft project you ask me to complete will come out looking like a three year old did it (and that's not just modesty for sure)!  However, I recently stumbled across a bracelet at a thrift store that I fell in love with.  Problem was that it came as a set with a necklace that was so short that it looked like something a sweet old lady might wear.  Not being a sweet old lady myself I almost passed on the bracelet altogether but in the end I just couldn't resist and brought it home.......so here's what I came up with for the necklace!

Original Necklace............Not too bad on it's own just a bit ...............short!

I removed the excess claw link and chain with needle nose pliers and added some fabric from a self tie belt and this is how it turned out.

Not too shabby right?............What do you guys think?

I seriously wore the same jacket multiple times this week but let me explain..........I love it!  I bought it years ago at Target just because it was so beautiful and only just recently had it tailored down so that I could actually wear it.

So Mr. PEMS and I have been working on a construction project together and I can't wait to show you guys!!.....stay tuned ;)

Happy Weekend Lovelies!!
