Supersolano Blowdryer - The Original

Supersolano 232rb 1875 Watt Professional Ceramic Toumaline Dryer, Red/black
 
My third post this week was supposed to be on designer sewing patterns but I want to push that post back for a minute to talk about my favorite blow dryer; The original  Supersolano.  I am telling you about this dryer because I recently had to replace mine (some unnamed person dropped it) but it is so great that I bought the exact same dryer again.  I have gone to Dominican hair salons forever and the first dryer that was used on my hair for years was this dryer.  The Supersolano has a ceramic thermal grill,  silver nanotechnology, and tourmaline.  These buzz words are pretty commonly known NOW but not when I bought my first Supersolano.  This dryer was definitely before it's time and still remains on the top 10 dryers on FOLICA.COM.Two things about me is that I love tradition and I love classics and although I researched blow dryers like crazy I could not find any reason not to stick with this classic.
FOLICA.COM has a sale going on for the next 7 hours for 20% off anything that has 4 or more stars in the ratings and of course this qualifies.  I am so sorry that I am telling you about this at the last minute but I just realized.  If you have been in the market for a new blow dryer today is the day because you'll also qualify for free shipping.  It's fast drying with 2 speeds and 3 temperatures.  It also includes a removable filter.  In the event that I have told you too late about this sale you can also get this at a good price at AMAZON.COM.  It's only $79.54 on AMAZON and if you have AMAZON PRIME you can have free two day shipping.  I have PRIME and I love it.  I know I tend to say I love things a lot on here but that's exactly what this blog is about, the things that I love and I really do love AMAZON PRIME and use it often.  If you don't have it, sign up.
If you already have this dryer let me know how you like it.  Do you love it ?  How long have you owned it?

Exotic Superfoods Coconut Water !!!!!!


Earlier in my blog I told you about my love of coconut oil and coconut water and professed my love for a particular coconut water brand. That was puppy love because I now have a true love.  A love that I can see myself with for the rest of my life, and his name is EXOTIC SUPERFOODS COCONUT WATER.  This coconut water is so delicious that whenever I cannot get any I just don't drink any coconut water at all.  Part of my health regime this year was seeing an acupuncturist and I found one that I loved as much as I love my new coconut water, as a matter of fact she was the one that introduced me to it.  I learned a lot from her because she had a WHOLE BODY approach with cleaning up your diet and your environment.  I think that I will go into more detail in another post.
Exotic Superfoods Coconut Water is a young Thai , organic, unpasteurized coconut water sold in a frozen state.  It is flash frozen at the site and once it melts has a refrigerator life of only three days.  A 32oz bottle in New York is normally $8.99 or $9.99 depending where you purchase from.  If you're willing to buy a case of 12 you can normally get a 10% discount. They also have a11oz. bottles available as well.  I buy my coconut water locally however they have a site that you can get more information from.  Actually I would encourage you to go to the site to read more information about the company and the  Exotic Superfooods Cocount Story.  Of course this coconut water has the usual properties of coconut water that I love like being high in electrolytes for hydration and naturally sweetened.  Exotic Superfoods Coconut Water does not contain any added sugars, colors, fats.  The taste is so fresh and delicious that I hope you get the opportunity to try it.  If the cost is too steep and you live locally just buy a couple of 11 oz bottles a month.  The 11oz bottle is around $4.99.  If you don't live locally I would suggest getting together with a few friends and going in on a case.
Let me know if you have had the opportunity to try this coconut water.  If so, how did you like it?

Living Fitness

If you have been reading my blog you know that increased health  is one of my goals this year.  One of the ways that I plan to increase better health is through fitness, actually through what I like to call "living fitness".  Living fitness is when you get your exercise through enjoyable means, like bike riding through the park, walking through an art museum, going to the zoo, etc., etc., etc.  Believe it or not you can really get a  serious cardio workout just by living an active social life.  One of my favorite "living fitness" things to do is walk the Brooklyn Bridge.  I love it because you can walk from Brooklyn to Manhattan and back again as many times as you can and in either direction the view is gorgeous....at least it is to me.  That's the point, to find an area that is beautiful for you.  Another location that really tires me out is walking in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden.  It's really beautiful looking at all the plants and flowers, however by the time you've looked everywhere you've been walking and bending for hours (if you really look). 
I got this idea a few of summers ago when I  realized that I take my city for granted and decided to go around like a tourist.  Well I really enjoyed it.  I went to the Botanical Gardens for the first time in years, to the water taxi a few times for a tour of the Manhattan, went to the zoo (with no children), and walked the Bridge for the first time.  I've gone to Savannah Georgia at  least 50 or 60 times throughout my life but it is now more tourist friendly.  When I went there for a visit that summer I took a trolley tour of the city and walked around their beautiful Forsyth Park every morning at least 4 times.  I enjoyed the city from a complete different view point.  I enjoyed the fun and beauty of these things and got a good workout. 
Two of priorities this summer is to get a bike rack on my car so that I can take my bike out to Prospect Park and Central Park.  I ride near my house but I want to have a picnic in the park so I plan to get to the major parks.  If you don't own a bike you can normally rent bikes near or in major parks.  Don't think I'm crazy but I'm thinking about joining a rollerskating club in Central Park.  Rollerskating is a serious workout for your legs and abs!  I've been saying I would do this since the summer I was telling you about.  I actually bought skates that summer.  I need to make it happen.
Do you have any "living fitness" activities that you have discovered helps with fitness.  Let me know what you like to know and I will update you on my activities.

I MiSSED YOU!!!

Let me start out by saying that I am so sorry to have been gone for so long.  I had to leave town three times in the last few months and one of the times was for a pretty extended time.  My Grandma was really ill and I went to help care for her.  At the moment she's doing a lot better so I'm back home and am back on track with my blog.  I have missed you so much because I have been so excited to share a lot of new "Satiable" things with you.  You can expect a lot of post this month because I have to make up with you so that you don't leave me :-)  Expect my first three post to be on a new coconut water that is now my real true love, the art of living fitness, and sewing with vintage designer patterns.  Don't worry when I say my first three post, I mean this week.  OK so I just wanted to check in with you and give you a post preview.
