A Must-Have: An Illuminated Makeup Mirror

Categories: Health and Beauty, Mom's Must Haves

No Comments

A friend and I were talking about some of the gadgets we had growing up and one that came up was the lighted mirror I had. It was rectangular, with “doors” that were extra mirrors when opened. The mirror had different settings for “day”, “night”, etc. I used it DAILY back when I was single and … I don’t know whatever happened to it. Currently, I do my makeup under fluorescent light, and while I know what I’m doing, I often find things I need to fix once I hit daylight. I think this mirror will keep me from frightening small children, mine or others.

Great Deal: Sonic Pro Toothbrush

Maybe your New Year’s resolutions included better oral hygiene—don’t laugh, I’m forever vowing to floss more often—or maybe not, but either way, you may want to take a look over at the Mamasource Deals today to scoop up a great bargain on a sonic toothbrush.

$69 gets you the 32,000-sonic-strokes-per-minute toothbrush, extra brush heads, and charging stand… all with free shipping. That’s a savings of over 50% off retail! And you can buy up to five for yourself and more for gifts, so even if you have a large family, you’re set.

They say you can’t put a price on great health, but all the same, I’m calling this one a great deal.

Health & Beauty: Workout DVDs

Categories: Health and Beauty

No Comments

You may not be the type of person who thinks of exercise as a luxury, but I sure am. Time by myself, burning off stress, away from all of the demands on my life. The added bonus is a firmer bottom. I asked for a Kettlebell and a workout DVD to go with said Kettlebell for Christmas. I did the level one workout, and felt amazing. And then spent the next two days wincing every time I sat down or stood up. It’s a great workout, is what I’m saying.

On sale @ Amazon for $7.99

Cosmetic Brushes

I went into MAC today to get my favorite lipstick (Spirit) and somehow walked out of there with some new eyeshadow and a brush set. I had wanted to buy a new brush or two, but seeing as that I could get five for the price of ONE, I snapped up the “essential” set

Health & beauty: Kettlebell

Categories: Health and Beauty

I attend a boot camp twice a week and once of the things my instructor has started incorporating is the Kettlebell. She’ll be gone for a month over the holidays, so to balance out the days I run, I’ve asked for a Kettlebell and some new workout DVD’s for Christmas. (Yes, I’m weird that way.)

Great Deal: Colgate Wisps at Tanga

For the busy mom on the go—or maybe for you tween/teen—it’s hard to beat the convenience of the Colgate Wisps for a quick anywhere-tooth-brushing. But they tend to be expensive, which is why when I see a deal like this, I snap ‘em up.

Today at Tanga, snag your choice of flavor and get a 48-pack of Wisps for just $10 delivered. (For reference, the usual price at Amazon is around $14 for 32.)

I keep these in my purse, in my teen’s backpack, even in my car. And now they’re a great deal.

Sports gear: Waterproof iPhone armband

Categories: Health and Beauty

My family and I are vacationing in Cannon Beach, Oregon. I love running on the beach and yesterday we saw the sun retreat and the rain move in. I went for a run anyway and soon realized that my armband doesn’t fully cover my phone and so I ended up holding it in the sleeve of my hoodie to protect it from the rain. The lack of waterproofing and the fact that my current armband is pretty worse for wear means that it’s time for a new one.

Health and Beauty: Skirt Sports

Categories: Health and Beauty

I ran a 10K last weekend (GO ME) and I ran it in a skort that I bought on a whim at Costco. My cousin commented on my post and suggested that I invest in a Skirt Sport. It looks cute and functional and if I’m going to keep up with this running gig (I am) I might very well invest in one. It’s similar to the one I have, but more flowy. (Yes, that’s a word.)
