Infiniti Pro by Conair Xtreme Instant Heat Ceramic Rollers! When I went to get my hair done in December, I said to my hair stylist, "I wish I could afford to have you blow out my hair all the time!" She laughed, and said to me, "Just go get rollers". So we spoke a little bit more about them and how to use them for my hair. She told me not to spend a lot of money on them, and I did not! I got these on amazon.com (LOVE) and my hair has been transformed! I know that may sound dramatic, but I have always wanted beautiful wavy hair and now I have it!
Simply Smooth Xtend Keratin Reparative Magic Potion Sodium Chloride Free, another gem that my hair stylist told me about! Helps with frizz, keeps your hair shiny, and smells delish! You can get it anywhere really, but Amazon has the best price!

Recipe of the week! Gina from skinnytaste does it again!
Crock Pot Bolognese Sauce
Bolognese sauce, a slow cooked ragú made with lean ground beef, pancetta, onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, wine, and cream is one of my favorite Italian sauces. I make this sauce whenever I need to feed a large crowd, or just to keep in my freezer. Serve this over pasta with a big Italian salad and everyone is happy!Because Bolognese sauce needs to cook slow and low for several hours, the crock pot is ideal for this. You can make this with ground turkey, buffalo, veal, or whatever meat you prefer. I always make it with beef, using the leanest ground beef I can find.
