Forever Foodie: Archer Farms Honey Cinnamon Almonds

I am going to start the Forever Foodie portion of my blog with these little delights.

Archer Farms Honey Cinnamon Almonds

I purchased my first bag of these from my local Target and I went back the next day to buy the rest. Gosh these are good. And not terribly bad for you. They are sweet, and flavorful without being overpowering. You will want to buy a few extra bags of these because if you are anything like me, they won't last very long!

Ingredients:

Happy Hair (Part 2)

The Ongoing Process

To keep my hair looking its best, I have tried bottle after bottle of product, box after box of styling wands and straighteners, and experimented with every tube, can, and spray on the shelf. 

Here is what I have learned.

The Straightener

You have probably been bombarded with their sales pitches at the mall. They offer to curl half of your head, and then try to get you to buy their overpriced wand at their "special price". As annoying as their salespeople are, they sure got their Straighteners right! I have used the Herstyler Classic Forever Flat Iron for 4 years, and it is still kicking. Best part? It was under $30! Don't pay the ridiculous prices at the mall. This flat iron can be yours for well under half what they sell for at the mall!

Herstyler Classic Forever Ceramic Flat Iron

Overall Score: 9/10

Pros:

*Inexpensive professional style flat iron

*Sleek, lightweight

*Heat Adjustment

*Leaves hair shiny and smooth

Cons:

*Once or twice, I have had my hair get caught in the side of the plates. This only occurred when I was doing my "hurry and get ready! You were supposed to be there 10 minutes ago!" routine.

*Does not have an auto-shut off and well, I forget to unplug it sometimes. (My house is still standing, thankfully.)
