I love infomercials.  I’m actually not allowed to watch them because I’m absolutely, 100% of the time convinced that I NEED THAT PRODUCT.  I once bought a lifetime supply of pens and lost them all within a month. I own (and love) the Scunci Steamer.  I bought Smooth Away.

I’m not what you’d call a “leg shaver”.  I avoid it at all costs.  I’m simply too lazy to do it.  Every day, to contort your body into all the different postitions to reach areas you’re not even sure you want people to see, risking dull blades or hot waxes in the name of beauty.  I’m not saying I’m a hippie with hairy legs, I just put it off for as long as humanly possible until either my husband complains that I’m catching up to him or I have to wear a skirt.

Well, summer is coming and with that means lots of dresses.  I’m not really into wearing shorts (lord knows, I’ve tried and failed there) but I wear a ton of skirts and dresses throughout the summer, so my winter “hibernation” must come to a close.

That’s why you couldn’t imagine my glee when I saw the commercial for the Smooth Away hair removal product.  “Removes Hair Instantly & Pain Free”  Can it really be?  I remember the days of Epilady and Nair, the agony of removing unwanted hair and the pain associated with it.  Could this be for real?

I have very oily skin and I’m not the biggest fan of the texture and shine my skin gives off, so when I had the opportunity to review the Clarisonic Plus Skin Care System & Spot Therapy Kit, I was excited to see what it could do.

From the primary inventor of the famous Sonicare toothbrush, the Clarisonic  Plus Skin Care System & Spot Therapy Kit is a personal spa for your bathroom. With three speeds for the face plus a Spot Therapy mode to care for areas of the body needing extra attention, the Clarisonic makes it easy to customize any skincare ritual. (more…)
