Absolutely great! We like moist chicken and this one is! And the taste is not like any other chicken I've ever had.....very good. Thanks.
Did not have any cotija cheese, so substituted a hard dry cheese that I had on hand. Forgot to put the shredded monterey jack on and it was still very good. Will keep in my favorites file!

4.5 Stars: This was different and very good. I served with the broken pasta found in the Hispanic section. My husband suggested a rice/pasta mix for a little more texture. All in all, a surprisingly good (and easy) dish.
Made this the other night for my husband and one of his friends...all I can say is completely clean plates! :) All they could talk about was how good the cotija cheese was in this dish. I'm so glad I took the time to seach it out in the grocery store. Thanks for a delicious recipe!
Easy to put together and really delicious! Chicken was moist and flavorful. Used reduced sodium taco seasoning. Served with Spanish Rice recipe from this site.
I liked it. Something different to do with chicken. I also added a few dashes of hot sauce (Tapitio) to the tomato sauce for a bit more flavor. Also added garlic powder to the chicken while browning on top of the stove. Fast and easy.
So easy. This doesn't mean it isn't tasty tho!!! I have made this multiple times and find it divine. Just don't go overboard with cheese. Also I love this with Mexican Rice :)
4.8 stars. This recipe is so simple to make, yet the flavors are just so strong and quite satisfying. I saved the sauce to make quesadillas later. This is restaurant quality.

Don't be mistaken: Heidi is not the owner, but rather the mule who resides on the nearby farm where the owners get much of the produce for this San Blas restaurant. It's all about the farm here, especially the farm-fresh yogurt—something definitely worth trying. Lunch and dinner are quite satisfying, with plenty of choices of soups, salads, crepes, meat, and vegetarian plates. Save room for one of the yummy desserts and coffee.

While tracking in and around Cusco, Peru my wife and I took advantage of Heidi's Farm for two meals. Both were superb with a great value on the price. I commented to the co-owner (I presume) that his establishment serves quality food that would cost me 5 times as much in New York. My only regret was that we weren't in Cusco long enough to have breakfast there too.

For about $7.50 you can get a great lunch in a very comfortable and clean restaurant in one of the best locations in Cusco - between the Plaza de Armas and San Blas. We had a very good Menu Lunch which included an appetizer, soup, main course, small desert and a drink. If there is one thing you should know about Cusco restaurants it is that consistency, especially with quality food, is very hard to find. Reviewers maybe applauding a place in May
but by December the chef or cook may have left and you get a different dinning experience. You can count on one hand the places in Cusco that have consistently high quality in food, cleanliness and service. 'Granja Heidi' is one place you can depend that the high standard stick. The reason for this restaurants succeeds is the hands-on involvement of German Owner Karl Heinz-Horner. He is there circulating among the guest (see photo), assuring quality and attention to details. Thanks Karl. But, because 'Granja Heidi' is successful it can be difficult to get a table. So, either go early or call for reservations... you will be glad you did. Recommended.

The food is ok, but the owner and staff are horribly rude. We had to wait more than one and a half hour for a breakfast only. They forgot about our drinks and the bread was half eaten already, clearly used for another table before us. When we asked for some fresh bread, they got mad and insulted us in many ways.
No Thanks

DALLAS (AP) — The boards of American Airlines parent AMR Corp. and US Airways have pushed back meetings to consider final plans for their merger, Associated Press sources say.
A source close to the matter said Sunday that the AMR board wants to meet in person, and that the US Airways board would only meet after the AMR board approves a deal. The source requested anonymity because the talks are private.
It is not clear when the two boards would finally meet. People familiar with the matter said negotiations are continuing, on issues that include AMR CEO Tom Horton's exact title and role in the combined company.
Discussions were centered on Horton being a non-executive chairman of the board while US Airways management, led by CEO Doug Parker, would run the day-to-day operations of the new carrier, which would keep the American Airlines name.
The negotiations could still fall apart. United Airlines and Continental Airlines were within days of announcing a merger in 2008 when that deal fell apart, although they later resumed talks and completed a deal in 2010.

Windjammer Cruises
The old timbers creak and the deck sways. Tall masts soar overhead. Huge sails luff and flap in the wind. The clean salty smell of the sea washes over you. In the distance, a schooner is bent over in the breeze. You can almost imagine it's 1888. Welcome aboard a Maine windjammer.
Windjammer cruises are perfect for couples—or for a family cruise. If you want, you can pitch in and help with hauling in sails and coiling ropes. You can also choose to relax while you sail past island-studded bays, harbor towns and mountains, keeping an eye out for porpoises and whales along the way. Whether you're looking for a weeklong vacation, a day trip, a sunset sail or a private charter, you'll be sure to find a ship to your liking.
History of Windjammers
Before the advent of steamships and trains, thousands of wooden sailing ships could be seen racing up and down the Eastern Seaboard in hopes of being first to market with their cargo. Centuries later, just a handful of these majestic ships survive. A Maine artist named Frank Swift helped keep this tradition alive by offering his first windjammer cruise in 1936. Today, the Maine Windjammer Association has 12 vessels, seven of which have been designated National Historic Landmarks. The fleet includes: two of Swift's original schooners; America's two oldest working coasting schooners, built in 1871; an oyster-fishing schooner; a Gloucester fishing schooner; a three-masted ram schooner; and a racing yacht. Since 1960, four new vessels built specifically for wind jamming have been added to the fleet.
Theme Cruises
The Maine Windjammer Association offers a wide range of specialty cruises, focusing on such hobbies as: bird and wildlife watching; wine, cheese and chocolate tasting; knitting; painting; and photography, You can choose a longer cruise to a destination such as Nova Scotia or Gloucester or a shorter trip along the state's coastline. Some vessels offer family-friendly cruises with hands-on activities catered toward young children. Hands-on activities for adults are featured on Seamanship cruises that offer instruction in navigation and practical skills training. No matter what kind of cruise you'd like to participate in, you'll be sure to find a cruise that fits your interests and schedule.
Wine Tasting Cruises
Whether you're a wine neophytes or a seasoned oenophile, you can enjoy professionally guided samplings of vintages from around the world aboard a wine tasting cruise. Each day of sailing ends with an informal, professionally conducted wine tasting. You can learn to appreciate wine using different parts of the palate while relaxing on deck.
Pirate Adventure Cruise
You and your family can sail away into the legendary world of pirates, scallywags and undesirables aboard a Pirate Adventure Cruise. Swashbucklers may be called upon to defend the ship by sword or cannon, or may be forced to walk the plank as they search for pirate treasure.
Art and Photography
Whether you're a shutterbug, illustrator or painter, you can draw inspiration from Maine's sea coast to capture images of flora and fauna, lighthouses, coastal architecture, sunsets, and tall ships under sail aboard an Art and Photography Cruise.
Dovetailing with such events as the Maine Boat Show, Lobster Festival or the North Atlantic Blues Festival, many windjammers offers you the chance to combine sailing with a weekend of festival fun.
You can get an excellent view of the state's lighthouses aboard a windjammer, while you learn more about their history from the ship's captain.
Whale, Bird and Naturalist Cruises
No one can guarantee a whale's whereabouts, but schooner captains have good luck finding finback, humpback, mince whales and other marine life. While you sail, you can see seals sunning themselves on rock outcroppings and pelagic birds and eagles soaring overhead. Some cruises venture to see puffin colonies.
Knitters' Weekend
Knitting and sailing have gone hand in hand since the Middle Ages, when sailors first knitted fishing nets. You are encouraged to bring your own project or to learn to design a gainsay sock (in the tradition of the fisherman's sweater), a nautical sweater, or a hat from patterns provided by a local knitting expert who sails as shipmate and instructor.
Music and Storytelling Cruises
The windjammer captains are terrific storytellers—and cruises showcase these talents, whether the stories are of maritime history or Downeast legends. Folk songs and sea shanties round out the evenings and you are encouraged to bring your instruments or sing along.
Weddings at Sea
If you're planning to get married, celebrate an anniversary, or renew your wedding vows, you might want to consider planning your ceremony aboard a windjammer. Most captains are licensed to perform weddings at sea or on shore—and getting married in Maine is easier than ever, thanks to recent changes in Maine's marriage license procedure. Please note that the captains take their officiating duties very seriously, so you are encouraged to discuss your plans prior to sailing.

As a young teen he decided to play for the Coquitlam Express of the B.C. Hockey League, forgoing the WHL route his older brother Brent had taken by joining the Lethbridge Hurricanes in the hopes of getting a U.S. college scholarship. "I talked to some guys who went to school, and I wasn't as big as my brother or as highly touted as he was, so I thought it was a good backup plan to have," says Seabrook. In his second BCHL season he was a key cog for the Burnaby Express as they won the 2006 RBC Cup, the national junior A championship. Then it was off to the University of Denver, where he had two goals and 13 points in 37 games. But being the money player he was, Seabrook missed the game action, especially after a 60-game regular season and 35 post-season battles with the Express. "I just realized it wasn't as much hockey as I would have liked to play coming off that 95-game season in Burnaby," says Seabrook. So he decided to join the Hitmen, scoring four goals and 17 points in his first season before notching 15 goals and 55 points last year. "It was a big transition year for me," says Seabrook. "I underestimated the speed and the strength of that league, and coming in and getting injured in the middle of that season I felt like I was playing a catch-up game all year." Just a couple of weeks after Burnaby's triumph, Seabrook was selected in the second round of the NHL entry draft by the Washington Capitals. Although he'd gone to all the Caps camps, he seemed to be getting lost in the shuffle and he never did sign with them. Washington owned his rights until July 1, 2010, but since Seabrook had no more junior eligibility left, he had nowhere to play. Fortunately the Flames brass took a fancy to him and made a deal with Washington. "I have no idea what was happening [with Washington]," says Seabrook. "It was a shock to me after the season not to have a place to go, but luckily I had a real good season in Calgary and they were there watching me and that worked out perfect to get a trade to over here." Playfair and Seabrook share some similarities. They are Continued on A9 Seabrook shines on blueline John Morrow photo GrantGRANGER ABBOTSFORD NEWS Last spring, the Calgary Flames were ousted in the first round of the NHL playoffs by the Chicago Blackhawks. So then-assistant coach Jim Playfair began checking out the club's junior team, the Calgary Hitmen, who were still involved in the Western Hockey League post-season wars. It didn't take long for Playfair to zero in on Hitmen defenceman Keith Seabrook, who was in the midst of racking up four goals and 15 points in 18 WHL playoff games. "His ability to be a real good player as the com- petition went up, as the price of poker went up [was impressive]. I thought he really rose to the occasion," says Playfair, who as head coach of the Abbotsford Heat now relies on Seabrook. "There have been some games this year where he's been far and away our best defenceman, with or without the puck. His shot on the power play is impressive. The thing I like about Seebs the most is his ability to be a calm player under pressure. I don't think he has a panic button. But sometimes I don't think he has his preparation at a high enough level to bring the good energy."

VALLEY AUTOHOUSE 32835 SOUTH FRASER WAY, ABBOTSFORD 604.853.1181 VALLEYAUTOHOUSE.COM A4 ABBOTSFORD NEWS Tuesday, January 19, 2010 FACE DanKINVIG ABBOTSFORD NEWS ABBOTSFORD'S PRO HOCKEY TEAM Transition game AFTER A TURBULENT SUMMER, COLIN STUART HAS FOUND A HOME WITH HEAT was a member of the United States' entry in the 2009 World Hockey Championships, held in Switzerland. Thus, when the American juniors toppled Canada 6-5 in overtime on Jan. 5 to snap Canada's streak of five consecutive gold medals, you couldn't wipe the smile off Stuart's face. "The morning after (the U.S.) won, when I got to the rink, the guys were pretty quiet," Stuart related with a chuckle. "So I just asked quietly, `What did you guys think of that game last night?' For the most part, they came back with, `Well, we won five in a row.' But I was trying to stress that you need to live in the present, that you're only as good as your last game. I definitely made sure they knew who won." Stuart, 27, arrived in the Calgary Flames organization in July of 2009 after being caught up in a whirlwind of NHL transactions. Up until last summer, his entire professional hockey career had been spent in the system of the Atlanta Thrashers, who had drafted him in the fifth round back in 2001. He'd spent the previous two seasons bouncing between the Thrashers and the AHL's Chicago Wolves, winning a Calder Cup with the Wolves in 2008, and his NHL resum� featured eight goals and five assists in 51 games with Atlanta. On July 1, Stuart was shipped to the Toronto Maple Leafs along with defenceman Garnet Exelby for Pavel Kubina and Tim Stapleton. Three weeks later, the Leafs packaged him to the Flames in a deal that saw Wayne Primeau head to Toronto. "It was crazy," Stuart said, reflecting on his swap-meet summer. "I'd been with the same organization my entire pro career, and you kind of get comfortable in the situation you're in. "It's like changing jobs in the real world. There's people you're used to seeing, people you're used to dealing with. There's a familiarity, and to get traded is a whole different thing." From all accounts, Stuart has handled the transition well. This season with the Heat, the speedy forward has excelled in any role that head coach Jim Playfair has slotted him in. Stuart began the season on the third line alongside Garth Murray, and was effective in tandem with the veteran checking centre. Lately, he's has been spending the bulk of his time on the top unit centered by Jason Jaffray, and he's proven an able wingman for the Heat's leading scorer. Through mid-January, Stuart was second on the Heat in scoring with 10 goals and 12 assists in 40 games, and he was on pace to easily surpass his previous career-high AHL points total of 29, established back in 2006-07 with Chicago. "He's impressing me every day," Playfair said of Stuart. "He's proven he's got NHL speed and NHL smarts." These days, it's good to be Colin Stuart. The Abbotsford Heat winger has been playing his best hockey of the season in the month of January, excelling in all three phases of the game � five-on-five, power play and penalty kill. In addition, the American-born forward got some powerful ammunition for the dressing-room chirping wars when the United States knocked off Canada in the gold medal game at the recent World Junior Championship. Stuart, who grew up in Rochester, Minnesota, is one of just two Americans on the Heat roster, along with defenceman Josh Meyers, and he has a personal connection to the World Juniors � his younger brother Mark, now a Boston Bruins defenceman, captained the gold medal-winning American entry at the 2004 tournament. Stuart himself has represented his country in international competition � he JANUARY INSTALLATION CAN'T HANDLE THE HEAT? Sales Event On Now one price does it all!

The former Atlanta Thrasher has made himself at home on the Abbotsford Heat's top line with Jafon Jaffray (15). John Morrow photo He's also got an NHL paycheque. Stuart is in the final year of a three-year contract he signed with the Atlanta Thrashers, who drafted him in the fifth round back in 2001. Stuart is the only player on the Heat roster on a one-way contract � most of his teammates are on two-way deals that pay more when a player is recalled to the NHL, but less at the AHL level. Without a doubt, Stuart would prefer to be earning his NHL paycheque playing NHL hockey, but he's determined to make the most of his time in Abbotsford. "I definitely want to be in the NHL � it's the pinnacle of my profession, and until I get back there I won't be entirely happy," he said. "But it's part of the business, and you've got to make the most of any situation you're in. "I'm doing my best to put my best foot forward on the ice, and also help some of the young kids out as well." �S ES UR 2008 LI #1 O F FA Inductee M A LL E A Finalist 2009 SureSlim HALL OF FAME LOCAL SUCCESSES Inductee Louise Lost 80 lbs Benefit More energy � Abbotsford�Mission�Ridge Meadows We've got game!

After more than four seasons with the Manitoba Moose, the AHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks, he needed a change of scenery. "I would have kicked myself after my career was over if I hadn't given myself a shot to become a regular NHL player," Jaffray stated in a recent interview. "After five seasons with the Vancouver Canucks organization, I started to feel as though I had `career AHL player' written on me. Vancouver is a great organization, but other organizations were out there that would give me a greater opportunity to get myself to the National Hockey League. I had to explore those options." Jaffray's exploration led him right to the Calgary Flames, and subsequently to the Abbotsford Heat. After a strong Flames training camp, Jaffray was the last player sent to the Flames affiliate here in the Fraser Valley . . . and he was sent with a message. Work hard, lead by example and be ready. "We discussed very early with Jason on how to make it to the NHL," Heat head coach Jim Playfair said. "When Jason identified that not only did he have to work hard in the offensive zone, but all over the ice, that is when you saw a change in Jason. He changed from a good player to a player who can change what is happening out there." Change the game indeed. In his first game back against his old mates in Manitoba on Oct. 13, Jaffray delivered a shorthanded breakaway goal that sealed the deal in a 4-2 Heat win, the first victory as a franchise, home or away. Since then, the pride of Olds, Alta. has set the standard for performance with the Heat. Jaffray leads the team in goals, assists, points, plus/ minus, shorthanded goals and power play goals. In addition, Jaffray was named the Heat player of the month for November and was selected for the Dave SHELDON Help The News feed hungry families this winter!

In early January, Jaffray spent part of a week up in Calgary with the parent club, playing in a pair of games before being returned to Abbotsford for a weekend series with the Texas Stars. While you may have seen other players grumble or mope about the re-assignment, the true professional put his head down and helped lead his team to back-to-back wins over the West Division leaders. Jaffray set up the game-winner and scored the insurance marker in the second game, as the Heat swept a home series against the same opponent for just the second time this season. It is when you need leadership the most, that you get true leadership. Jaffray delivers the goods in all categories. Dave Sheldon is the director of communications and broadcast for the Abbotsford Heat. He writes a monthly column for FACEOFF magazine. Jason Jaffray has been the model of consistency for the Abbotsford Heat this season.

JOHN LETKEMAN Nickname: Born: AGE: Height: Weight: Known for: PAINFULLY WHO'S ASKING? TALL DRINK OF WATER HOW MUCH DOES A MULE WEIGH? SMARTER THAN HE LOOKS KNUCKLES A "Definitely the Miniota C-Store.

It's a one-stop shop � you've got food, ice cream, gas, your liquor store, your insurance place. Everything's there, all in one place. I always say there are 250 people (in Miniota), but I think there's less than that." Q Besides hockey, which sports trophy would you most like to win? A "Growing up in a small town, you played every sport, because everybody needed to play to make a team. We played volleyball, soccer, baseball, everything. So I couldn't really narrow it down to one sport. Now, I like to play golf in the off-season." LEON GRUN Nickname: Born: AGE: Height: Weight: Known for: ILLEGAL ALIEN CARBON DATING CAN NOT IDENTIFY JOLLY GREEN GIANT WHAT'S A HEN WEIGH? UP TO THE SECOND WEATHER REPORTS LUCKY Q So maybe the Green Jacket, from the Masters? A "Yeah, maybe. I actually run a golf tournament back home that probably seven or eight of these (Heat) guys come out for, and we have a good time. It's a fund-raiser for the town. Everything kind of runs under one umbrella, so this money goes to minor hockey and other sports in town. And the Children's Wish Foundation, some of the money goes to that. There's usually a project in town that some of the money goes to, too. This will be our fourth year coming up, and it's sold out every year."

What was the deal with that? A "It started last year. We play this game, Moustache Boy, and I lost, so I had to let it grow for a month. I played well in that month, so I kept it for the remainder of the year. Then this year I started with it, and I think I'm going to go back to it for the rest of the season." LARRY SPROULE Nickname: Born: Age: Height: Weight: Known for: HATCHED FLINTSTONE ERA AFRAID OF WITHIN NASCAR SPECS LAST LAP BIG BIRD Q What kind of reviews have your teammates given the moustache? A "Probably the biggest fan is Matt Pelech, but everyone seems to like it. They tell me I'm a more handsome man with a moustache. I don't know if they're just trying to keep me away from the girls, or what." TYLER TOMPSON Nickname: Born: Age: Height: Weight: Known for: IN A HURRY 90210 21" IN 1982 DON'T LIKE TO WAIT BETTER LATE THAN NEVER ENTERTAINER Q What's your perfect day in the off-season? A "I'd probably get up in the morning and work out, and maybe have coffee with my mom or dad at the store. Then I'd probably stop by my sister's house and play with her kids for a while. I also bought some property back home, so last summer we were building a garage for it. I bought the house four years ago for $2,500 in Miniota. Me and my buddy lived in there for the summer and fixed it up, and I've rented it out every summer since then."

A "I got pretty fortunate with that one. Real estate was cheap out there, but now, we're finding that a lot of people are coming from the city and retiring. Matt Pelech came out to visit from Toronto, and he couldn't believe that I had an actual standing house for $2,500."

A "Probably Assiniboine Park, or Grand Beach, which is about an hour north of Winnipeg. It's actually really nice. Nobody expects there to be beaches and nice weather (in Manitoba), but there's actually nice sand and a huge lake. It's really popular." Q You've been teammates with Heat goalie Matt Keetley for quite a A "I've got too many. I remember the first time I ever skated with him number of years, dating back to your WHL days with the Medicine Hat Tigers. What's your best Keetley story? in Medicine Hat. I didn't make the team that year � I was 16 and he would have been 17. We were staying out on the ice after everyone else had left, and I honestly took about 50 breakaways on him. He's exactly the same now as he was then � we'd chirp each other and bicker back and forth on every shot, and I didn't even know him at all. Now we do the exact same thing. It's a friendship we've built over the years. We've gone through everything together." Q As a young guy, whose posters did you have on your wall? A "I was a little too young for the Jets era, but I remember going to a couple of games there. I saw Gretzky and Brett Hull play. I liked Hull when I was younger, Steve Yzerman, Joe Thornton. Of course, I'm a defenceman!" y o u b e t h e j u r y. Q Which song on your iPod would you be a little embarrassed about if your teammates found out? go to abbynews.com to vote A "I've got a lot of those slow love songs � Lean on Me, that sort of thing. And I've got some pretty lovey country songs, like Bryan White's 'Wishing on Someone Else's Star.' I liked it when I was younger, but I don't know why it's on there now." Q What's the worst job you've ever had? A "I washed semis for a summer. It was the hardest job I ever did. It was a power wash wand, but it was about five times as strong as that. I'd go out to the yard, find a semi and pull it into the bay and spray the whole thing down. Then each trucker would inspect his truck after, and if there was a speck of dust on it, he'd come in and give it to me. The first couple of months I'd take it, but the last summer I chirped back a little bit." Q If you weren't in hockey, what line of work would you be pursuing? A "I've thought of a few things. I've always thought it would be cool to be a teacher. But the best job I've ever had was working at a softball complex. It was me and seven of my buddies, and all we did was rake chalk lines all summer. It was the most fun I've ever had � just being with the guys." Q What's the best memory in your hockey career? A "The best memory would have to be winning the WHL championship in double overtime (in 2007 against the Vancouver Giants)."

The Heat gig represents his first AHL assignment. "Any player who was considered high maintenance in the league I've just come from is considered low maintenance here," Stixy said with a chuckle. Smith's job has its stressful moments � making sure equipment arrives at its proper road destination via airplane is no picnic � but it's the camaraderie of being part of a team that makes it worthwhile. "I was a typical Canadian kid who wanted to play hockey," explained Smith, who grew up in Fort Erie, Ont. "When you learn that you can't be a professional player anymore, you look at other avenues to stay in the game. This seems to be the best fit for me." He's one of the most valuable players in the Abbotsford Heat organization, but few fans knew his name � until now. Heat equipment manager Shawn Smith, who also goes by the nickname "Stixy," agreed to give FACEOFF readers, through the lens of photographer John Van Putten, a backstage pass prior to a Jan. 12 home date against the Manitoba Moose. Smith's game-day preparation begins with paperwork � among other things, he charts the rate that the Heat players break their sticks. As of Jan. 5, the Heat were on pace to go through 1,025 twigs over the course of the season. Smith's other pre-game tasks include sharpening skates, repairing pants, and laundering jerseys.

So glad you linked up! I have a good friend IRL who has a son with Shone's. My oldest son had different defects, but he did have surgery for coarctation of the Aorta when he was one week old. There is a huge CHD community on FB if you are interested. I have my CHD friends listed as CHD. There are several Shone's mamas on there. :o)
I just read your facebook info page, and I am so sorry for your loss. I can't begin to imagine how difficult that has been for you and your family. I didn't see a way to find your CHD friends/ community on fb, so I'm going to add you as a personal friend, maybe that way I'll be able to view your CHD community. I'm involved with an organization called It's My Heart. Have you heard of it? We have an annual walk that is getting bigger & bigger each year! We also have a National CHD Conference. I'm chairing the conference this year. It's My Heart has a huge presence at Texas Children's Hospital, where Josh had both of his surgeries, so that's how I found out about it. I'm interested in checking out the CHD community on Facebook!
I missed it this week, but look forward to participating in the future.

Customer Reviews of Babyliss Pro 1-3/4" Nano Titanium Straight Iron # Babnt2094
I already knew the product.5/16/2013
It works. It is a gift for my sister because I have the 1" one and she always take it from my room. My neighbor always go to my house to use it too. It doesn't dry your hair and make it look healthy.
Awsome service Great Price11/19/2012
I order this for my wife and she LOVES it. She couldn't believe the good deal I got on it. I have told sereral people about the product and Buy.com Thank You.
Best flat iron ever!!
This straightner is amazing. Just highly dissatisfied it broke 2 weeks after I got it.
Love it!3/29/2012
I love the width of the plates and the smooth shiny mirror surface plates. It heats very quickly and does the job in less time than my old flat iron. Its also very light and easy to use. The only thing I do wish it has is a automatic off... Other than that, its a great buy.
My mom absolutely loves this3/21/2012
I got this for my mother just as a "I love you" gift. She always had the Chi Straightener and when I saw this way less expensive then CHI I figure I buy it for her since I've heard so much about babyliss being so great! Let me tell you, I'm super happy with the product. I want one now!
Beats a Croc3/6/2012
This flat iron is AMAZING! Previous owner of a Croc. Hands down Nano has best performance and for a very great price. Couldn't be more happier.
Bought item based on reviews on other sites and Im3/1/2012
Very hot, glides over hair too much to the point it won't grab hair enough to fully straighten! I have to do teeny tiny sections of hair and go over each one 5 to 10 times! Even then there are still some curls left in it that I take my old flat iron to, to fix it. My daughter used it too and had the same problem. Waste of way too much money on this! : (
Affordable and works great!11/11/2011
My hair stylist uses this flat iron and I am always impressed with how my hair looks afterward. I have used a CHI for about 7 years and it finally died which led me to purchase another flat iron. I tried the Hot Tools iron and it did not get hot enough or straighten it the way I liked. I just used the Babyliss for the first time on my own this morning and it works great and still leaves my hair with volume. Definitely recommend to others looking for a new product.
