It’s cold out there!

Screen shot 2009-12-13 at 4.16.27 PMI mean, really cold!  But I have a nice solution called a CareNeck.  The thing that’s so great about them is that they are long, and can be worn in at least 10 different ways. Moisture is drawn away from skin, so you keep warm.  The colors are brilliant, Blue, red and black.

It’s not often that you run across a good product for a very good price ($14.99)—so it was discovered quickly, and disappeared just as fast.  Luckily I will have more of them by Wed.  Give me a call, and you’ll be warm (and very cute) the entire winter long!

Cool Holiday Gifts for under $50

Screen shot 2009-12-02 at 11.25.47 AMFinally, after five years of hard word and a dream, Carolyn Luu, better known as Akimi Hair Gallery in San Francisco, has done it!  She has created a wonderful hair product that is different than all the others—made especially for your hair, it is customized shampoo!

I tried it several months ago on my hair and it was so interesting.  It’s made from a carob bean, and a bunch of natural ingredients that make your hair feel so light and good, and somehow different—in a great way.

Check it out at:  http://www.seedbyakimi.com/

She is offering a 20% discount on first time buyers, you can get both the shampoo and conditioner for less than $40.

My other new favorite idea for the Holidays are grown up one piece PJs for adultsScreen shot 2009-12-02 at 11.41.28 AM.  Aren’t these terrific??  They have the drop down behind, like when you were a kid, they come in a fleece or jersey cotton and lots of colors.

Check then out at http://www.bigfeetpjs.com/#home-page

Yes, they are less than $50.  High quality.  And apparently very popular with the movie star crowd.  I guess they are all wanting to go back to the comforts of childhood too.
