Product Picks

Purchase a yummy scented Bridgewater Candle and help feed an orphan for a day through Rice Bowls non-profit. The candles are only around $14...about the same price you'd spent on one anyway.


You will never be hard-pressed to find a present for a guy at The Art of Shaving. Luxurious!


Did you know that creamy baby oil = no bites. And you won't smell like bug repellent?! Yes!



Another groovy sock idea for chicks. 

Ms. Essential Soft Shoe Front Pad High Heel Invisible Antiskid Protect Foot



Love this idea! 

To create street art that only appears when it rains use a clear spray called NeverWet for art that can only be seen when water is present. Or is this just fancy vandalism? Or better yet...who cares. It's crazy cool.








This is absolutely genius. A great way to keep toes and legs warm yet still being able to wear ballerina flats or heels in the chilly months!


I need a VAT of this!


Just found out about buyolympia.com, an online shop where you are guaranteed to find something you just have to have like the below poster. Personally, I think this would work well in all sorts of situations: your office cubby, your driveway, merging lanes on every highway, at a mortgage company and on & on.


My husband would love this. That way he could lose everything all at once:


Because everyone always needs more counter space.


A Stair Basket. Clever.


Anyone ever try these:

(I guess because now that the media has successfully convinced me that because my hair does not have the shine it did when I was 20 I need to do something about it)

(Since the beauty market is flooded with dry shampoo this was soon to follow)

(Claiming to blur imperfections, moisturize and even skin tone. Does anyone know if it feels like you are putting a heavy layer of foundation all over your body?)


Alright, I may lose a lot of credibility here (if I had any) admitting this but, I have been using Gray Away pills & shampoo for about two weeks.  In about two and a half more months I'll let you know if it worked.  If not, I will never mention this again.


I have only ever used Libby's Pumpkin Pie Filling for pumpkin bread (I will post the delish super easy recipe I have) and pumpkin pie. But, I just read that if you swirl it into oatmeal or mix it with cream cheese it is yummy, yum, yum.

I've heard the Omron Tri-Axis pedometer ($27, amazon.com), which tracks steps taken and time elapsed is worth the money.

Hydrate any room you are in with a USB charged portable humidifier which fits almost all water bottles.  Good idea for people who have a job and an office (not me), who stay in hotels often (not me) or who are weird enough to travel with their own personal humidifier (can that be me?)



Next time I have extra money to throw around I want to try Yes To Grapefruit Dark Circle Correcting Eye CreamL'Occitane Pivoine Flora Illuminating Oil, Organix Soothing Teatree Peppermint Cooling Body Wash and Bumble and Bumble Surf Foam Wash Shampoo just because I think they will make me feel pretty.  Feedback, anyone?



Since I can't afford Botox, maybe I should try these Furlesse Patches ($20) that are supposed to prevent wrinkles while sleeping. 


Donna Browning, a fitness instructor, invented headbands that really stay put. They have a velvet lining that is supposed to keep them in place. What do you think? 


I am dying to try the Kissing Elixir products.


Leave behind a trail of inspiration with Flip Side Flip Flops, only around $20. Since they are unisex, I bet you could think of someone they would be a cute gift for, huh?



Another cute gift idea, but this time only for a guy in your life: Neutrogena Men Triple Protect Face Lotion. It is supposed to help razor irritation, moisturize skin and fight signs of aging. Have not purchased it yet but I am hoping it smells yummy, too.
