Travel Curling Irons Got Me the Guy

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

I have to travel all the time for work.  A lot of overnight trips that require very economical packing.  For so long I just wore my hair in a bun anytime I traveled because I knew there was no way I could fit my regular professional curling iron into my carry on.  No matter how much I wished I could, my laptop always trumped my sense of style.  I was complaining about this one night over the phone to my friend back at home.  I was on a business trip and there was a cute guy working at the hotel and I just felt so insecure since I couldn’t fix my hair how I usually do.  I barely talked to the guy and he must have thought I was uninterested.  When I got back my friend had a gift for me:  A travel curling iron.  I didn’t even realize they made these!  Mine is a mini sized version and it comes with its own thermal sleeve to be packed in - perfect for when I’m curling my hair right before I need to check out and pack up.  The next time I had to travel to the hotel with the cute guy working, you better believe I chatted him up this time!  I felt like Gisele with my beautiful curly hair.  Talk about confidence!
