If I had an extra $500, I would spend it on new clothes for me since I haven't bought any in awhile and I am inbetween sizes until I lose that last 10 ponds and window treatments for the house.Karen At Home Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130760203772746374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-85678857947140315152010-05-14T21:23:48.034-07:002010-05-14T21:23:48.034-07:00I would put $500 towards a Cannon DSLR.

I currently just have a point and shoot.<br /><br />As far as the CHI, I went to folica.com and read a ton or reviews and decided to go with the Solia instead of the CHI. I really like it. They run a lot of specials. (I'm not getting paid to tell you this, I just had a good experience, and really like my flat iron.)Carry Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17689613679275551210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-58523657517706644912010-05-14T18:27:04.629-07:002010-05-14T18:27:04.629-07:00Ooohh toughie.

I'd also put some towards an external hard drive so we can back up all of our pictures and any important files we don't want to use. The rest I'd probably use for new clothes for me, Hubby and the baby. There's other things I'd like to use it for, but I think these are the biggies that need to be addressed sooner rather than later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-24522682579191009402010-05-14T12:39:34.753-07:002010-05-14T12:39:34.753-07:00$75 for a new camera bag, $40 for a laptop cover, ...$75 for a new camera bag, $40 for a laptop cover, and the rest for a weekend or night away with my hubby!Julie S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14765401853636543444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-50724747387390455302010-05-14T12:24:25.998-07:002010-05-14T12:24:25.998-07:00I love your BQOTD posts!

When I asked my stylist for recommendation for one that wasn't hundreds of dollars, she said she was really impressed with her mom's iron--Sally's version of the CHI. (GVP brand I think. It says right on the box "comparable to a CHI.") I went to pick it up (on sale this with a free travel iron) and it was about $70. AMAZING. Straightens much better and my hair pulls through the plates MUCH easier!Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04396965000651460588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-5507282866372508192010-05-14T10:03:39.931-07:002010-05-14T10:03:39.931-07:00I personally would either buy stuff for my house, ...I personally would either buy stuff for my house, clothes or a mini vacation to the beach or something.Krystiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111861320192232321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-66359566828759119802010-05-14T09:22:43.438-07:002010-05-14T09:22:43.438-07:00New work clothes and shoes.
