Cue the Angels singing.

Girls, this is IT! This is THE hairspray. I know I have reviewed hairspray before. Disregard all previous posts about hairspray. Run out and get’cha some TRESemme Tres Two Extra Hold Hair Spray today.

My hairdresser uses this hairspray. And she is, after all, an expert.

From TRESemme:

TRESemme TRES TWO Extra Hold Hair Spray, is a salon performance working spray that allows styling time before drying for maximum creativity and control. Provides all-day touchable hold. Won’t build up or flake. Provides a flexible control thats even water-free and humidity resistant. This fantastic hairspray refuses to let frizz take root, thanks to its humidity-resistant formula that keeps flyaways smooth for 24 hours. An added bonus: its water-free formula goes on dry, giving hair grip and control without stickiness for frizz-free hold.

Another bonus? It’s under $5 a can. I’ve been using for a few months and even gave a can to a friend of mine who immediately sent me a text after her first use telling me she was in love. I feel the same way. It is a super fine mist, so there’s no “denting” of the do as you spray. It holds, but it’s not gluey, or sticky, or icky. I like to be able to run my fingers through my hair. I don’t like helmet head. I fluff out my hair after rolling and spray, and it holds. And holds. Today I am actually wearing my hair scrunchy and it holds those curls too.  I am naturally curly. This is something that developed late in life.  I now have hair that I used to pay someone to put a perm in to make it do the same thing. When I curl my hair and use the TRESemme, it comes out soft but holds. When I go curly scrunch, it holds but the curls look soft and fluffy.

I have been using TRESemme products for decades, and it’s always been a great brand. Do you use any TRESemme products? Let me know in the comments section.

You know I am a sucker for a personalized gift. I have found a great website for monogrammed products: Gramono.com. Here are just a few of their fabulous items:

Monogrammed All Weather Boots. How hot are these?

Monogrammed scarf – what a fabulous gift for a girlfriend – as in fellow girl – not really girlfriend from a boy – that would be diamonds, sugar.

Personalized Bride iPhone case! Love!

Or just a personalized iPhone case. Oh and they have them for iPads too!

Gramono even has monogrammed items for children. Like these burp clothes.

Or their own personalized night light.

I could spend the entire day sharing their stupendous merchandise with you, but I think you should check them out instead. Here is just a short run down of other items: acrylic monogrammed necklaces, silver, wood, shell, and crystal jewelry, men’s cuff links, Labor and Delivery hospital gowns, pillow cases and socks, bags, totes, toiletry bags, coffee mugs, shower curtains, towels, serving trays, and so much more.

And because I love you more than sliced cheese, I asked, and they delivered. Gramono.com is offering a 20% discount on your entire order through February 28, 2013. Just use the code “THEAVERAGECONSUMER” when you check out. Gotta love a discount! I think the products are priced great to begin with, but who doesn’t love paying a little less? Thanks Gramono!

For years and years, and even more years, I have used Scrubbing Bubbles in my bathroom AND kitchen. I just like the foam and psychologically it makes me feel like the kitchen sink is cleaner when I see foam vs. 409 or any other antibacterial spray cleaner. The key here for me is ANTIBACTERIAL.

Well, Scrubbing Bubbles got the idea to launch Scrubbing Bubbles Total Kitchen.

So I purchased it in an 11 ounce spray can. The original Scrubbing Bubbles comes in a 22 ounce spray can. The ingredients are not listed so I cannot officially tell you the difference. However, I can tell you in my personal opinion there is no difference. Except price. I purchased the Total Kitchen cleaner for a dollar less than the Bathroom Cleaner. But remember, the bathroom cleaner is twice the size. So why not pay a dollar more for twice as much? Unless you just think it’s weird to use bathroom cleaner in the kitchen. Or you just don’t like Scrubbing Bubbles.  Or you never clean.

But you know when you see these guys on the commercial they are working hard for you. Whether they are in the kitchen or the bathroom.
