5 Appliances That Have Changed My Life
OK so let's talk appliances . . . sexy right?!
I jest, but I realised this morning - when using number one on my list - that there are certain appliances I use daily which make my life better; in fact, they have CHANGED my life for the better. Here's my run down of five appliances I use daily; what they do, why I'm recommending them and how you can get your hands on them.
1.
Kenwood Smoothie 2 Go Blender: My parents have had a Kenwood Smoothie 2 Go for years and in the interim of moving in with Oli, when I briefly moved back home, I got hooked on making daily juices. Oli and I recently bought our own and I have not failed to make a juice every day since - in fact I'm drinking a green juice as I type! The Kenwood Smoothie 2 Go is one of the cheapest on the market and as far as I can tell, does a darn good job at what a lot of other blenders and juicers do for a lot more money. It is SO easy to use and comes with a couple of 'takeaway' mugs so you can easily transport your juices, soups or smoothies - you got it - on the go!
Parlux 3200 Compact Hairdryer: There are definitely perks to having a boyfriend who is a hairdresser, one of the best being the insider know how of products and appliances. Oli bought me the Parlux 3200 Compact Hairdryer a couple of years ago and it has completely revolutionised my hair drying experience - it is SO fast, and the nozzle makes it so easy to get a smooth blow dry. It works particularly well when combined with . . .
3.
Classic GHD Ceramic Styler: I have been using the GHD ceramic styler since my teens, and I honestly don't think that now I could survive doing my hair without them! From poker straight disco do's of the early 2000's, to my love affair with a tumbling curl, the classic GHD ceramic styler nails it all.
4.
Phillips PerfectCare Xpress Iron: This my friends is THE. best. iron. ever. On first try it feels a little bizarre - there is no temperature dial and so the Phillips PerfectCare Iron responds to whichever fabric you are ironing instinctively. I was nervous of using it on silk, however it responds accordingly and does an incredible job. Even friends who have come to stay and have used it are balled over - a good iron may not be the most fun appliance to buy, but it will change the way you care for your clothes.
5.
Bose SoundDock: Oli bought these Bose speakers a few years back, and has used them non stop since. We've been entertaining a lot in our new flat and I love having music on whilst cooking, and then in the background over dinner. The sounds quality is excellent, and easily fills up our living room and kitchen. Warning: the older versions of the Bose SoundDock work with iPhone 4 so make sure to buy whichever version is compatible with your current phone or iPod.
What do you guys think of my appliance run down? Do you use any of them already; or have recommendations of your own?
And because I cannot help it, for my fellow Bridesmaids fans . . .
"What are you - an appliance?!"
