We all have fears.

If you read my blog, you know I’ve got plenty. Namely my fear of commiting to the wrong guy, my fear of my ex-husband watching our son solo for 36 hours a week or his absence from our lives. I like to think I’ve come leaps and bounds in the past year in conquering them, but I still have a ways to go.

Now it’s your turn to step into the confessional.

Tell me about something that shakes you to your core. Maybe you’re afraid of snakes, men, other parents at the playground, your boss, pickles and bologna, your teenager, asking men out … I don’t care what it is. Describe your fear and then tell me how you are going to conquer it.

I’m hoping your comment will turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy. And the prize for spilling your guts? A Hana Salon ceramic flat iron ($199.00) courtesy of Misikko.com.

After reading my post reviewing their FHI Hair Dryer the nice people over at Misikko.com offered me two ceramic flat irons, one for myself and one for one of you! This flat iron is top of the line, and as my mom would say it’s – “Slicker than bat s*%T!” It’s light weight, comes in a snazzy black travel case and heats up in seconds. Read more about the flat iron here.
