I stumbled on my 8th must have by accident. I was browsing my local Bath and Body Works and found some of the Sleep product line in one of their great end of season clearance sales. I had just started getting up really early for work and jumped on the Bath & Works Sleep line to help me get relaxed and ready for bed at night.

Cut to me pouring some of the Sleep Luxury bath in my tub I almost squealed with delight at the scent. The Lavender and Chamomile melt into the most relaxing scent and the bubble bath scents the whole room and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and smelling perfect! 

A great gift for the busy girl in your life its a great scent and will help relax away the holiday stress. It’s also great for kids when I am feeling generous I add a little to my kids bath and it helps mellow them out for bed time.

Jocelyn was the first to try the Instyler and after hearing her rave about it I had to try it. The informercials looked too good to be true but the Instyler lived up to the hype. I have super thick and frizzy hair and it’s a fight to straighten it no matter how hard I work with a flat iron there are always bumps in the back. The Instyler made it easy I just slowly brushed through my hair with the rolling iron and my hair was left soft and super straight!. One of my favorite things is how soft and shiny my hair is after instead of the flat iron burned look my hair was silky smooth and looked really healthy. 

A great gift if you want to splurge on someone special in your life, right now the makers of the InStyler are running a great deal if you buy one InStyler you can get one free! You can give away two amazing gifts for the price of one think friends, sisters, daughters or give one away and keep one to fall in love with yourself!

InStyler®

It’s not a brush. It’s not a flat iron. It’s not a curling iron. It’s the InStyler®!

The InStyler® is a totally new styling and straightening tool unlike any hair styling product ever invented!

The secret to the InStyler® lies in its rotating heated polishing cylinder, along with four rows of precision-aligned bristles.

Here’s how it works: when you run the InStyler® through your hair, the first set of bristles gently sort and separate your hair strands. Then the rotating heated polishing cylinder gently glides over your hair, smoothly polishing, straightening, and styling each strand. Finally, the second set of bristles puts the finishing touch on your hair, leaving you with shiny, silky, “In-Styled” hair! It’s truly amazing!

And the best part is, because of the InStyler®’s patent-pending design, your hair won’t get smashed and baked by the super-intense heat of a flat iron or other “hot” tools. In fact, the InStyler® uses less heat than traditional hot tools, and delivers better results. How? Because the InStyler®’s gentle heat in conjunction with the rotating motion of the polishing cylinder literally polishes your hair strands individually so it doesn’t need extreme heat to get amazing results.

Your hair will be shinier, bouncier and full of lift and life!

Plus, the InStyler® does so much more than any styling tool out there. Get lift and fullness – right from the root! Get a sexy flip in seconds. Straighten even the toughest, most coarse hair – and still get fullness and style without the stick-straight “flatness” of a flat iron. Do a full style in 8 minutes… and change it again in two minutes! Wrap your hair around the rotating polishing cylinder – and get an amazing curl that lasts all day!

If you can hold it, you can do it with the InStyler®!

I am a total sucker for infomercials I never buy anything but I have wasted too much time watching them. I get sucked in watching them make pancake puffs or using roll n grow flowers. The Ped Egg commercial had me close to ordering but I thought like the other products it’s probably just junk. Over the last few weeks though I have been seeing a lot of great reviews on the Ped Egg and when I saw it at the grocery store yesterday I had to have it.

I am happy to say it works as well as the commercial says it will, there is absolutely no pain and you just rub it back and forth on your feet and voila smooth touchable feet and heels. I am a total sandal girl and my feet are prone to getting dry in the summer this little Ped Egg is a miracle worker in just a few minutes last night I was able to exfoliate all the dead skin and reveal soft smooth heels.

Once you have exfoliated your feet there is a little buffing pad to make them even smoother then you dump out all the dead skin and you can wash the egg. A perfect little at home pedicure helper.

Ped Egg Pro Foot File

Exfoliating Foot File
• Softens Skin
• Ideal for Smoothing and Soothing Skin

You and your feet will love the new PedEgg!

The original Ped Egg has been precision engineered with 135 stainless steal micro files to gently remove calluses and dead skin to give your feet the incredible baby soft look and feel that everyone loves.

Two high quality emery buffing pads have been included for the ultimate finishing touch.

The unique egg shape of the PedEgg not only looks great, but is ergonomically designed to fit perfectly into the palm of your hand for easy and convenient use.

Best of all, Ped Egg has been designed to collect all the skin shavings in a convenient storage compartment allowing you to use it anywhere with no mess.
