Budget Friendly Bodycology Products are an Affordable Indulgence

By Trish Deitemyer

“Comforting” is probably not a word you would use to describe your hand soap. “Cleansing”, maybe; “antibacterial”, sure. But “comforting”? Well, Bodycology, who generously sent me a sample of its Brown Sugar Vanilla Anti-Bacterial Scrubbing Hand Soap (about 5.49), has somehow fused all of those attributes, and more, into one bottle. Yes, it’s cleansing and antibacterial, but the brown sugar and vanilla scent is so warm and comforting, it actually reminds you of cozy winter nights, baking cookies and snuggling by the fire. A bottle of this soap in a pretty basket with a fluffy hand towel would make a great hostess gift during the holiday season.


I also tried Bodycology’s slightly exotic Cherry Blossom Body Cream. This is an extraordinarily rich cream whose scent, though light, is flowery an slightly sweet – just like real Cherry Blossoms! With Aloe, Shea Butter and Vitamins E & C, it luxuriously softens your skin, and keeps it soft all day long. Friends have told me it’s a dead ringer for (the much more expensive) bath and Body Work’s Cherry Blossom Triple Moisture Body Cream. And it’s a bargain at about 5.49 because it’s so rich; you only need a tiny bit. The 8 oz. tube seems to last forever!

Bodycology’s products are available at mass merchandisers, like Walmart; most major drugstore chains; many major grocery stores and online at Drugstore.com.

Review: Wallets2Wear

By Cynthia Tom

Have you ever gone out to a wedding, clubbing, shopping, or working out and found that you resented lugging around that heavy purse? I’ve definitely experienced that feeling, especially because I’m always prone to leaving my purses and personal items on chairs or tables wherever I go. Fortunately for me, Wallets2Wear has affordable, stylish, and mostly importantly CONVENIENT bracelets to accessorize your look for that family gathering or great night out! Each bracelet comes with a secure hidden elastic pouch for your most important belongings, such as your credit cards, driver’s license, and a bit of cash!



Since receiving this beautiful black Zen Zig-Zag bracelet, I have used it when I went to the gym and at family gatherings! I have also used it when I went clubbing with my friends, and I am glad to say that this bracelet has withstood my crazy dancing. I love the beaded design and it matches with so many different outfits!

Now, you may be asking how this bracelet exactly works, because it simply appears to be a chic bracelet. But that’s the beauty of Wallets2Wear – on the underside of each bracelet, there is an elastic pouch that is designed to blend in with the bracelet, where you can stash your important items. Simply slip your personal items into this little pouch, and put on the bracelet with the pouch side down and voila - it’s like a combined mini-purse and beautiful bracelet!


 
I have nothing negative to say about this product, except that I found it a bit more difficult to add and remove contents when I had the bracelet on. However, I just had to slip off my bracelet and I could easily retrieve my credit card from its hidden pouch.

Wallets2Wear is offering these beautiful bracelets starting at $10 at their website! Check out their other cool products too – they have fabric wrist wallets, sports wrist wallets, and even men’s wrist wallets!


They even have freshwater pearl bracelets too!

Review & Giveaway: Talkatoo (Closed)

*Giveaway Has Ended*





by Jamie Hackbarth

Do you ever sneak in a little love note into your child's backpack or lunchbox? Do your little ones miss hearing your voice when you are away? Do your kids need to be reminded to do something?Well then Talkatoo is for you.

Talkatoo is a unique little button recorder designed for kids and parents for portable voice recording. Talkatoo is also great for kids who are forgetful and who might just want to hear your voice throughout the day. Kids are likely to forget what you told them or wrote down for them to remember. Why not have a back-up? You can still write them a little love note but they can also have a little reminder around their neck or attached to their backpack.




The Talkatoo is a simple digital memo recorder that appeals to kids. My kids were fighting over the one we received to review! It has 30 seconds of recording time which is more than adequate for an important message or a simple “I love you,” and it has unlimited re-recording for an entire year’s worth of daily affirmations. I love to be quirky and sing a song or act funny for them. Hopefully I will have brightened up their day! The possibilities are endless with this fun little gadget.

Kids will love having their own mini voice recorder and if you allow, they can record their own little messages and re-play them.There is a lock-out switch can be set to prevent your child from accidentally recording over your urgent memo, and the entire gadget is smaller than a Half Dollar (You remember those). Choosing to be hung around the neck with the included safety-release lanyard, or simply clipped onto a lunchbox or a backpack, the Talkatoo is a novel way to communicate the simple things to children ages 3 and up.

It comes in six designs (I reviewed the Green Monster) and you can choose between a necklace or clip attachment. What a great stocking stuffer idea!

Talkatoos are available for $16.99




*Giveaway*
One winner will receive your choice of Talkatoo ($16.99 Value)

To Enter:
Visit Talkatoo and leave me a comment telling me what your favorite item is from their online shop.

Z Mei Skin Therapy System Review

by Cynthia Tom

Personally, I’ve always had very dry skin, and ever since I’ve moved to the midwest with its cold dry winters, my dry skin problems are out of control! No matter how much water I drink and the amount of moisturizing lotion I use, I can’t seem to get rid of my unsightly dry skin. I couldn’t even use make up to cover up the dryness, because it would just make it even more dry and cake up in funny ways.


After being sent the Z Mei Skin Therapy System, I was excited to see that it utilizes state-of-the-art delivery systems and all-natural chemical-free ingredients to help:

• Rejuvenate the skin at the deepest levels

• Nourish and revitalize the skin

• Normalize skin tone

• Restore the skin’s moisture

• Repair damaged tissue

• Reduce puffiness, fine lines, and wrinkles










Z Mei is ideal for all types of skin, including teenage skin, 20’s skin, post-pregnancy skin, pre- and post-menopausal skin, and aging skin! I’m only 22, but my mother has cautioned me to take good care of my skin, and what better way to start and reap the benefits than with Z Mei’s Skin Therapy System!


All Z Mei products are made from natural and naturally-derived ingredients. They are pH-balanced, hypo-allergenic, and completely biodegradable. They don’t contain soaps, synthetic emulsifiers, artificial colors, or any harsh or irritating chemicals that can be harmful to the skin. This is great, especially if you’re like me and into being eco-friendly, chemical-free, and sustainable!

Z Mei is the culmination of Dr. Janet Zand’s 20+ years of experience in herbal and nutritional medicine. You can read more about her amazing credentials and achievements here!

I received the Purifying Facial Cleanser, Balancing Toner, Replenishing Daily Moisturizer, Regenerating Night Treatment, Correcting Eye Serum and the Exfoliating Scrub for this review. This whole set retails online for a little less than $100, which means each product is less than $20 each. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a pretty sweet bargain for some pure all-natural skin products.

I first opened the purifying facial cleanser, because honestly, face cleaner is the staple of my basic daily morning routine. It smelled great – kind of like a delicious cocktail! After washing my face with it, I was delighted that it didn’t dry out my skin. +1 brownie points from me!


I then tried the exfoliating scrub. I was skeptical of the exfoliating scrub, because most exfoliating scrubs leave my skin drier than what I started with. Like the facial cleanser, the exfoliating scrub smelled delicious and didn’t leave me feeling dry!

After exfoliating, I tried the exfoliating scrub  and regenerating night treatment creams. I found that these creams helped trap the moisture in my skin and I didn’t have to relation myself during the day!

The balancing toner and correcting eye serum went on smoothly and smoothed out the rough patches of dry skin under my eyes!

Overall, I love the Z Mei Skin Therapy System! It works better than my old daily routine, and I can gladly say that my skin is looking smoother and healthier. I am super excited to see how well their products will work during the approaching dry winter months!

Concert Review: KT Tunstall (Giveaway Ended)

*Giveaway Has Ended*

Results






Thanks to the One2One Network, I and a friend had a chance to attend the KT Tunstall concert at the Music Box in Los Angeles. We made our way up to the front of the stage and had a fun time listening to the Hurricane Bells who performed just before KT Tunstall. After the Hurricane Bells performed the curtain closed and then soon opened with KT and her band all in place. The crowd gave a huge cheer and KT Tunstall turned on her magic and performed an amazing show!




Most of her songs were from her "Tiger Suit" album and even though I loved her songs on the album, hearing her perform these songs in person was even more extraordinary! She also performed some of her more familiar tunes such as "The Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" and "Suddenly I See".




I had such a good time at this concert. There was never a dull moment. KT is charming, witty and fun. She is an amazing performer.


Here are some pictures I took of The Music Box in Los Angeles.  It is a very beautiful place.








WooHoo! Another Giveaway!


*Giveaway*
One winner will receive a KT Tunstall "Tiger Suit" Album.

To Enter:

Leave me a comment telling me your favorite KT Tunstall song.

Everyone has different body types and Janie goes into detail about what would look good on you. everything from the perfect must have handbag styles to making sure that you get that wiggle :) (you must read to find out)!! She talks about how your style should evolve but not at a great expense. You want to add accent pieces and an investment garment occasionally to refresh your options and palette. Make style and adventure and have fun with it. Build up your confidence and keep being inspired.

Well I must admit, that I am off to Macy*s now to go and expand my palette and add to my closet!

As for dressing well, Bryant says, "I think it's about understanding your body and feeling great about whatever shape you are... learning to appreciate everything about yourself and wearing things that make you feel fantastic."
