Clean and Clear In Shower Facial

As I was wracking up  my obligatory $100 bill at Target, I wandered down the moisturizer aisle looking for the newest cream that promised botox-like results on a budget.  Whilst browsing I stumbled across Clean & Clear’s Morning Burst In Shower Facial.  And while the brand and packaging took me back to high school and I had already experienced a “morning burst” in the shower that morning from my husband, I couldn’t resist the $3.95 price tag.

For some reason I was very optimistic about this product and immediately jumped in the shower to give it a whirl.  The directions say to apply and leave on for a few minutes while the steam works it’s magic and then rinse. As the package promised, it did smell invigorating and had a nice citrus-y scent.  I could feel it exfoliating as I rinsed it off and my skin felt instantly refreshed.  When I got out of the shower my skin looked polished and dare I say: I even glowed a little.

As I got dressed to go out and put on my makeup I felt fantastic!  My hair was working, my jeans weren’t leaving welts on my flanks, and my skin was radiant.  Now, I realize I can’t attribute this all to the product, but it had been a long time since I felt really cute, so I am definitely adding this product to my weekly routine.

Rating: 3 Carats.  How great is it to find a product that actually makes you want to shower?

romance cover art1.     Try something that requires batteries.

2.     Role play…nothing like a little Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky to get your juices flowing.

3.     Foolproof birth control… Jon and Kate may not have had the reality show, but they may still have had        their marriage.

4.      In words of The Ladies Man…”Have you tried the butt?”

5.     Write down of paper the top 5 things that attracted you to your significant other.  After 5 minutes realize     that in the time it took you to do that you could have done the deed and been reading your new book.

6.     Order something on pay per view that costs $9.99 and which you will make it through     approximately ten minutes of.

7.     Take a shower.

8.     Get waxed together.   Balls for a Brazilian.  Quid pro quo.

9.     Give the kids Benedryl.

10.  Lube…lots of lube.

Strap Perfect Review

There is nothing tackier, except maybe the opening of the NASCAR season,  than seeing a racer back tank top with two bra straps completely out of alignment with the rest of the of the shirt.  Whether it is sheer laziness or wanting to show the world the rainbow of colors Victoria’s Secret has to offer, it is not at all attractive. Unless, of course, you are moonlighting as a carriage-pulling horse…giddy up bitches.

That is where the “Strap Perfect” comes in.  At a mere $9.99 for 6 there is no excuse to board the trashy train.   If you have seen the less than high budget infomercial, you may recall that the Strap Perfect slides on the back straps of a regular bra and transforms it into a racer back bra.  An alleged side benefit? The cleavage of a French street walker.

While the placement of the Strap Perfect is a little tricky (If I were only that flexible I would never have to buy another birthday present for my husband ever again), once it is on it is fairly easy to adjust.  When it is in place, you need have no fear of  a strap snafu.   As for the cleavage claim, it is a far cry from 40 cc’s of saline, but may help the girls get a little lift.

Rating:  2 Carats.  Perfect? No.   But perfection costs quite a bit more than $9.99 and for the price this product is pretty darn good.

Aging Gracefully

As my face is sinking faster than Jon Gosselin’s dignity I have come to the conclusion that it’s only downhill from here.  The best, aesthetically speaking, is not yet to come.  Instead of dwelling in the pools of fat around my ankles, I thought I would make a list of all the great things about aging.  Oprah, are you listening? This is A-Ha moment stuff here.

  1. You get to eat dinner at 4 pm.
  2. Three words: Elastic Waist Pants.
  3. It gets more and more acceptable to wear support garments and comfortable full coverage underwear.
  4. Who doesn’t love a mid morning nap?  The more beauty sleep the better.
  5. The more wrinkles and rolls you have, the less you notice new ones.
  6. You can hit and curse at people and they’ll think you are just being cute.
  7. More visits to the hospital mean more chances to get your hooks into a hot young doctor…or at least get felt up by one.
  8. The golden years for you may leave your eggs a little rusty.  Spend the money you’ll save on birth control on gum, Kleenex, and blue eye shadow.
  9. Instead of pesky flossing and brushing, just soak your teeth overnight on the bathroom counter.  Your tongue will enjoy all the extra real estate in your mouth.
  10. When you get old you don’t have to shave.  Your hair just falls out from everywhere…except from your     chin.  Think about that before you spend thousands of dollars on laser hair removal…you won’t be the   only broad in the home with a Brazillian.

hip-T

Ever get sick of your gut arriving somewhere before the rest of you?  Tired of people yelling “there she blows” when you bend over and your whale tail of a thong surfaces above your jeans?  Did you ever dream of wearing Spanx outside of your pants?  Well if you answered “yes” to any of these questions, the hip-T was made for you.

We discovered the hip-T from a recommendation of a wonderful reader who had just given birth and was looking for a little support in her ab region.  I have never given birth but also need help in most regions so I thought I would give it a try.  I ordered off of their website and paid $19.95 for one with lace edging…shipping was free.

The quality is ok, but the price seemed a bit high for what basically amounts to a waist scrunchie.  It did help stem the flow of my flab-o-lanche over the top of my jeans, but it didn’t work nearly as well as my other chosen support garments.  It is a clever way to layer without bulk, but I have tons of too tight shirts that I could cut wear around my waist and not pay $20 for them, and get similar support.  However it might be nice to cover up paunch during intimate moments…does it come in nude?

Rating: 1 carat.  My gut hasn’t done anything nice for me lately, why would I buy it a skirt?
