The Super Solano is my favorite hairdryer. I have had it for years. I was first introduced to this awesome dryer at the Federick Fekkai salon. It reduces drying time and leaves your hair soft and shiny. For more information, click HERE.
The Harry Josh dryer has been on my wish list forever, It is said to be the hair dryer used on the beautiful locks of Gisele. I’ve seen it used a fashion week and read tons of articles on how this is the best dryer available. It has the ability to change between ionic (sleek and straight) and nonionic (mega volume). I hear this is THE dryer to own. It’s compact but super powerful. For more information, click HERE.
The Con Air Infinity Pro Performance dryer has been awarded one of the best beauty buys by InStyle Magazine. It does all that the more expensive Ionic dryers do for must less in price. For more information, click HERE.
The last dryer on our list is they Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer. It is the Rolls Royce of hair dryers. It delivers digital heat for shine, it drys hair super fast and leaves hair feeling smooth and shiny. For more information, click HERE.

This week’s Real Estate Stalking is one of my favorites. This masterpiece Tuscany home’s history dates back to 1549 when Michaelangelo first purchased it, almost 30 years after he painted the Sistine Chapel. The original deed comes with the sale that lists Michaelangelo as “a dear sculptor and Florentine citizen”!!! The current owner has painstakingly restored the home to its original glory. On the property, there is a vineyard, olive groves, lemon groves and an original oil mill. In fact, many of the original accents in the home from the 11th century still stand today!! AMAZING!!!

I recently saw this recipe on the Barefoot Contessa’s Facebook page. I thought it was a perfect way to use all the cherry tomatoes and basil that I have seen at the farmers market and grocery stores this summer. It’s easy, full of flavor and everyone in my family loves it. Another WIN from Ina!!!! Bon Appetit!!!!!!
4 pints cherry tomatoes, halved
Good Olive Oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
18 large basil leaves julienned, plus extra for serving
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound dried angel hair
1 1/2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese
Combine the cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, basil leaves, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Set aside at room temperature for about 4 hours.
Just before you are ready to serve, bring a large pot of water with a splash of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of salt to a boil and add the pasta. Cook al dente according to the directions on the package. Drain the pasta well and add to the bowl with the cherry tomatoes. Add the cheese and some extra fresh basil leaves and toss well. Serve in big bowls with extra cheese on each serving.
