An Awesome Giveaway From Misikko!

I would just like to start my review with…WOW! Who knew that a professional flat iron would make such a difference for my hair? For years I’ve been using a cheap metal flat iron with only so-so results. Every time I did my hair, it was a gamble. Would it end up straight or frizzy? With my new Corioliss Classic 1” Ceramic Flat Iron from Misikko, I no longer have to take that gamble. Each and every time I’ve use it, my hair has looked straight and smooth (not even any fly-aways)!

I love that the Corioliss Classic 1” Ceramic Flat Iron has adjustable heat and an on/off switch. Depending on your hair type, you can adjust the heat from 140 degrees to 410 degrees. And it heats up in about 6 seconds! I have found setting the dial right in the center works best for my hair. For my daughter’s thin hair, I set is on the lowest setting and was still able to curl it. I wonder how great our hair would look if we had one of Misikko’s great professional hairdryers???

Besides flat irons and hair dryers, Misikko has many other great products. They have various brands of makeup, including Skincare’s Instant Plump Lip Shine that I would love to try. Misikko also carries hair care products including Bio Ionic’s Nano-Ionic Conditioning Large Round Hair Brush. This brush would make a perfect addition to my new flat iron!

Not only are Misikko’s products high quality, but their customer service is also outstanding. Check out this package that they sent me. My Corioliss Flat Iron came with a heat proof mat, white roses, white candles, and a little bag of goodies!

Now I know everyone wants their own Corioliss Classic 1” Ceramic Flat Iron. Right!?! This flat iron normally cost $200, but it is on sale right now for $89.99 (I do not know how long they will be on sale.). And on top of that they offer free shipping on all orders over $50. But if you feel lucky, the great people from Misikko are offering one reader of Between the Lines their very own Corioliss Classic 1” Ceramic Flat Iron!!!!!

Ingredients

• 3 (7.5 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup brown sugar

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 6 miniature Bundt pans.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the white sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. Use scissors or a knife to cut each of the biscuits into various sizes. Each one can be cut into anywhere from 2 to 5 pieces.
3. Sprinkle about half of the pecans amongst the 6 prepared pans. Roll pieces of biscuit in the cinnamon-sugar, and place them into the pans, distributing evenly. Sprinkle any remaining cinnamon-sugar over the dough balls.
4. Mix together the brown sugar and melted butter. Stir in the remaining pecans. Distribute evenly over the pans of dough balls. For ease of getting in and out of the oven, place all of the pans on a cookie sheet.
5. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the biscuits are toasted and cooked through. Remove from the oven, and invert individual pans onto serving plates while still hot.
