Product Review: Gurin Ceramic Flat Iron Hair Straightener

Katie April 26, 2015 0Comment

I have very thick, frizzy, wavy/curly hair.  In the past I’ve tried to straighten it, but it took upwards of 45 minutes to do so I kind of gave up and never bothered with it anymore.  Then I became aware that maybe it was the flat iron that I had that was the problem and NOT my hair.  So I decided I’d give the Gurin Ceramic Flat Iron a go.  The flat iron is 1.25 inches with a carrying case.  It can straighten, flip and curl your hair.  It provides adjustable temperatures from 240F to 450F to suit all hair times. The ceramic/tourmaline plates create a shinier, silkier finish in lesser time. The 1.25 inch plate width is wide enough for any hair length and types, yet narrow enough for bangs. You can transform frizzy, dull hair into gorgeous straight, sleek locks.

So I woke up this weekend and decided – let’s see what happens. I had washed my hair the night before so it was particularly out of control and unruly when I woke up. (It is recommended to use this on dry hair which is why I did this) I plugged in the straightener, let it heat up, and within 15 minutes or so (not including the time it took for me to take before/after/during/etc photos) I had straightened all my hair.  If it is going to be this quick – maybe this is a hairstyle I can start wearing more often!

Sorry for the lack of my face in the photos – but it was the morning and I’m sure you understand 😉 Plus it’s my hair we are caring about anyway!

Product Review: Atrico Rapid-Charging 6-Port Desktop USB Charger

If you’re anything like me, you have way too many gadgets and not enough USB ports in your computer to charge them all.  I’ve tried to buy USB to wall outlet chargers, but even then I end up with not enough room when I am trying to get everything charged up before a road trip.  Well, now I am happy to report that I am a proud owner of the Atrico Rapid-Charging  6-Port Desktop USB Charger.

The unique design simplifies your home or office by eliminating messy clutter of chargers and wires. The charge tower combines all your charging needs into one simple neat charging location. The tower also has a strip of rubber built into the base to improve stability.  The Atrico Charge Tower has the most current “smart” charging ports which allow you to efficiently charge various combinations of smart phones and tablets. 2 Smart IC ports for any device, 2 ports for Apple iOS devices and 2 ports for any smartphone. The tower can put out a max of 8 Amps and a max of 2.4A per port.

The Atrico Tower Charger is also a great travel charger option as it is capable of handling either 110V or 240V. This is a great option when you’re sharing a room that may not have many plugs in it with someone as gadget obsessed as yourself. Plug the tower into one plug, you can each charge 3 items at once and still have another plug available for a hair straightener or hair dryer.

The Charge Tower is manufactured with the safest, most advanced, PCBA on the market for these types of products and the hub uses fireproof composite materials. The Atrico Rapid Charge Tower comes with a 1 Year Limited Warranty.
