TOP PICK FOR THIS HOLIDAY

REVIEW OF KEURIG

So this holiday season I gave my parents a Keurig coffee maker, since my Mom is laid off and my Dad works 2nd shift...they have more time together, I figured they would love it. I gave it to them and waited a couple of days to let them try it out. I gave my Mom a jingle one morning from my office to see what they thought. Well, my Mom laughed out loud and said that my father has turned into a coffee addict!!! They had to go out and buy new LARGER coffee cups since my Dad was brewing away. He loves it and already has the cups K-cups purchased at a super low price buy using his savvy smarts.


So what is so cool about this coffee maker?
*You don't have any clean-up. (maybe a little if it splatters)
*You can switch from coffee to tea in about 2 seconds.
*They have a great selection of fabulous well known coffees to choose from.
*So easy to use. Check out the selection here!

We love it in our house also! Russell has turned into a hot chocolate addict..since he doesn't like the taste of coffee.

The Keurig's Platinum best single-cup brewing system for your home. This premium model offers discerning coffee drinkers the widest range of five cup size options for brewing.

The Platinum offers the full spectrum of features including Auto On/Off, Digital Clock, Adjustable Temperature Control and the "Set Your Favorite Cup Size" option. The largest available 60 oz. removable water reservoir holds up to ten cups before refilling and the removable drip tray allows for easy cleaning and the use of travel mugs. The sleek, award-winning design is a unique footprint among Keurig's line of home brewing systems and includes both a blue lit water reservoir and blue lit LCD display.

Proactiv Solution

I have struggled with acne my whole life and I can honestly tell you the only thing that has ever helped it is Proactiv. I love how the Proactivs Solution cleared up my acne with its powerful yet gentle cleansing power. This is the perfect pick for the teen or adult struggling with acne.

Drs. Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields developed Proactiv nearly 15 years ago as a solution for their adult female patients who just didn't understand how to prevent their acne - and they say the same phenomenon they observed then still happens today: women are in denial about their acne. They don't like to think of themselves as having acne. Yet, they have blemishes, regularly. Prevention is key and that's what Proactiv was designed for. The perfect gift to yourself or a son, daughter, or loved one, is the gift of clear and radiant skin, which really is the gift of confidence, especially during this time of year in which we look to be close in proximity and create lasting impressions.

www.Proactiv.com

Meaningful Beauty -- By beautiful mother/entrepreneur/super model, Cindy Crawford, the Meaningful Beauty skin care line is an age maintenance regimen that combines a powerful antioxidant with luxurious anti-aging ingredients in beautiful packaging -- to bring a model's luxurious skincare regimen to the rest of the world. The line includes a day moisturizer, a night treatment, a gentle cleanser, a great-smelling, pore-refining toner, a deep cleaning facial masque, a depuffing, brightening eye treatment, a neck and décolleté treatment (an often ignored area that gives us away!) and a glowing serum (a model's secret!). Meaningful Beauty is great for every day and, beautifully packaged, making it gift worthy as well.

A nice line that is great for older skin types..I don't recommend this for teens or even anyone in their early 20's..I do recommend it for everyone about 25 years of age. I love the deep cleaning facial mask..it makes your skin feel wonderful.

www.MeaningfulBeauty.com

In An Instant -- Brought to you by another top model, Heidi Klum, who was concerned about maintaining her youthful glow, developed In An Instant.

The first innovative three-wheeled scooter of its kind, the Slither offers the ability to pull off tricks and maneuvers that are simply not possible on any other scooter or wheeled good thanks to the two large front wheels offset with a single rear wheel housed in a pivot-mounted swivel truck.

The Pulse Slither translates the fun of riding a snowboard, skiing or surfing into a street toy. It can be ridden facing forward or standing to one side and is propelled by “slithering” from side to side or by pushing with your foot, opening up even more trick possibilities and making it that much harder to put away. The rudder-like rear wheel with variable tension gives the rider the freedom to drift in and out of turns, zip around corners, execute lightning-quick 180º turns and adjusts to their skill level.

Emblazoned with vibrant in-molded graphics, that won’t chip or peel, the Pulse Slither is available in two dynamic color ways: Electric Blue “Skull Wing” and Toxic Green “Von Scroll.” This hit stores mid-October, the Slither, which retails for $59.99, will be sold at all the major retailers and select sporting goods locations.

The Pulse Slither is the long-awaited follow up to last year’s hit ride-on toy, the Pulse Kick N’ Go. Bravo Sports CEO Tony Armand, the brainchild behind both scooters, adds “We are so excited about the release of the Slither. These extreme scooters offer more versatility, functionality and excitement than a traditional scooter and are so fun for kids of all ages and skill to ride.”

GLEE GUM

Perfect stocking stuffer that will make your kids eyes light up. Yummy gum that has many flavor options for even the pickiest chewer. Very in-expensive and a great add on to any gift.

Glee Gum is all-natural, gluten-free chewing gum with no artificial coloring, flavoring, sweeteners nor preservatives. Glee Gum is the only gum in North America made the old-fashioned way, with chicle! Chicle is a natural tree sap harvested sustainably from the rainforests of Central America. Once all chewing gum was made with chicle, but today most gum is made entirely from synthetic stuff. Not Glee Gum! Glee Gum uses chicle because it is an eco-friendly way to help conserve the rainforest.

Chicle is also what gives the gum such great, long-lasting chewing texture! Glee Gum is a “green” gum right down to the packaging, which is made from biodegradable, recycled cardboard. So chew with Glee, naturally! (SRP $0.99 per pack, available at grocery stores nationwide and online at URL http://gleegum.com/order.htm)
