Today’s Spoil Your Family giveaway is sponsored by Bio Ionic.
I have enough flat irons to style everyone’s hair in my neighborhood. I have a few different irons and I swap them out regularly. I’m sure it’s all in my head (ha!) but I think switching them out every few weeks makes my hair softer. Or it feels softer to me. Or maybe I’m a lunatic. But regardless, I have a lot of flat irons and I love them all equally.

Bio Ionic is the leader in ion-powered haircare.
It is a revolutionary, patented system that harnesses the power of natural negative ions to help recondition and retexturize hair.
Bio Ionic’s salon-only, professional-use products contain Nanolonic™ Complex (a blend of natural-occurring minerals) that emits Natural Negative Ions in to the hair. Nanolonic™ Complex is powerful enough to break down clusters of water molecules into fine particles that penetrate the hair shaft, to re-hydrate, re-condition and restore moisture balance.
See and feel the difference! After using the Bio Ionic product system, hair feels smooth, super-soft and looks silky shiny.

I received the Nano-Ceramic FlashHeat™ Styling Iron 1.0 from Bio Ionic.
The Fastest Styling Iron Ever! Straighten, curl, make waves or do unlimited styles with this versatile iron. Due to its Patented BioCeramic™ Flash Heater Technology, FlashHeat™ recovers up to 5x faster than other ceramic styling irons, as well as heats up 2x faster than the industry’s largest selling ceramic iron. This is the professional’s #1 choice in styling irons!

Curls, waves, straightens

Patented BioCeramic™ Flash Heater Technology: The heater is fused to the plate for faster, more evenly distributed heat, which means immediate, longer-lasting styles

73% faster speed of recovery versus other ceramic styling irons

NanoIonic™ Mineral fused to cushion plates

Superior shine & condition

Multi-level heat controller heats up to 400°F

Cool-touch housing and a 9 ft swivel cord

This thing heats up super quick and I can smooth my hair by passing the iron over it only once. Easy to use, heats up quickly, excellent results. Another great flat iron added to my collection.


Bio Ionic also has a selection of hair dryers, curling irons, hair brushes and hair care products.
One lucky reader will win a Nano-Ceramic FlashHeat™ Styling Iron 1.0 from Bio Ionic. (ARV $145)

SPIRITED ANIMAL COLLECTIVE THE RATTLES RECEIVE HIGH PRAISE FOR DEBUT RELEASE ‘RATTLE ON’

** OFFICIAL WEBSITE LAUNCH & ALBUM PRE-SALE TO START AUGUST 10^th! **

“If your kids aren’t talking about The Rattles yet, I think you’ll be hearing about them soon!” – Susan Heim, Parenting Author & ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ Editor

“What if the artists appeal to kids and simultaneously DON’T make parents’ ears bleed – in fact, are pretty dang good? Well, that’s a whole new genre as far as I’m concerned. A genre in which The Rattles band fits quite nicely.” – Music Savvy Mom

Listen to music from ‘RATTLE ON’ & download songs here: http://rattlesrock.com/MusicVideos.html

New York, NY – Armed with a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed fusion of classic rock and power pop, The Rattles are on a roll! Parents, kids, and music lovers of all ages have been singing unanimous praises for ‘RATTLE ON’ (August 17^th), the lively full-length debut from this furry musical menagerie – composed of life-long friends Gus, Sal, Hal, and Kitty.

Acclaimed parenting author and ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ Editor, Susan Heim referred to the album as “unique”, “catchy”, and “awesome” while Blissful Bee Blog recommended it to “anyone who has children that love music.” The Clever Mommy Chronicles drew comparisons to The Beatles, They Might Be Giants, and Rilo Kiley, and raved,“Really, truly, the CD is fantastic. In fact, I was disappointed because it only has nine tracks. I found myself wanting more. That’s pretty big for a kids’ CD!”

To celebrate the ‘RATTLE ON’ album release, The Rattles recently unveiled their snazzy new official website,RattlesRock.com. This fully decked-out, colorful little corner of cyber-space allows The Rattles’ biggest fans to read up on the band’s back-story, listen to some groovy tunes, scope out a slew of tour photos, play interactive games, and shop for official band gear at the online store. There is even a special section for parents!

Also in support of their debut release, The Rattles are launching a special presale for ‘RATTLE ON’ offered directly to the fans, starting on August 10^th.
