No longer do we need a professional to style our hair to perfection. Instantly create beautiful, long-lasting curls with just the touch of a button with the KISS InstaWave, a fully automatic tangle-free curler.

Let me be honest here, this isn't the easiest thing to learn how to use. It took me about 2 days. I've never been big into curling my hair. In fact, I spend so much time trying to STRAIGHTEN my hair, so this is way out of the norm for me. It takes a little getting used to. Now that I got the hang of it, I LOVE IT!


 


This took me about an hour to do because I have SOOO much hair.

Hot Yoga Towel from Shandali Review


  • GET FIT AND STRONG: Yoga improves your muscle tone and fitness when you practice regularly. With a slip-free foundation you will have more confidence and more stability, naturally supporting you as you achieve harder postures and more advanced techniques.
  • PERFECT YOUR POSTURES: Using a yoga towel helps to create a solid, stable and slip-free foundation to practice on. Without the risk of slipping, you can stay focused and advance more quickly in your asana practice. It takes a consistent foundation that you trust for the most productive development in yoga.
  • KEEP HYGIENIC AND HEALTHY: Increase your confidence when using the studio's in-house mats by putting a hygienic layer between you and the mat. Bring your own clean yoga towel, place on top of the studio mat, and remove your worries about whose sweat and germs you'll be practicing in. No need to carry your heavy yoga mat from home that hurts your shoulders; just take your towel. It's lightweight, easy, personal, and fits nicely into your bag.
  • LIGHTEN YOUR LOAD WITH 488% LESS WEIGHT: Carrying your yoga mat to-and-from the studio can be a hassle. It's heavy, big, clunky, and doesn't easily fit inside your handbag. By getting in the habit of bringing your own personal yoga towel to class and using the studio's yoga mats, you can reduce your carrying weight by almost 500%. Stay light, quick, and care-free.
  • SAVE YOURSELF MONEY EACH YEAR: Using a yoga towel will double the life-span of your yoga mat, saving you at least $50 each year if you buy good yoga mats every 2 years. Plus, if you get in the habit of using the yoga studio's mats and just brining your towel, you'll increase the lifetime of your yoga mat even longer!


This towel is pretty much exactly what I expected based on seeing the many previous reviews. As far as how it works, it's definitely better than using a regular towel. It doesn't bunch up or move around nearly as much. I still find myself adjusting it every once in awhile, but that's probably based on my inability to get into certain poses easily rather than the towel's performance. And even though it's soaked after 90 minutes of intense sweating it holds the moisture much better than a regular towel.

It stops me from sliding, absorbs sweat and holds up through daily washings. In addition it provides extra cushion so when you are on knees or laying down you have an extra layer between you and the floor.

Is it worth the money? It's pretty pricey for a towel and I think I need a couple more if I keep going to yoga a couple times a week. I also feel pretty guilty running the washing machine and dryer with just the one towel in it after every yoga class. What a waste of water and electricity - but there's no way I'm putting anything else in the washer or dryer with that thing.

So... I like it. I'm glad I got it. But it's an expensive towel.

La Beauté Pure Vitamin C Review


  • Pure, Organic, Natural, Alcohol free & Fragrance Free
  • VITAMIN C Serum *Tightens Skin *Reduces Wrinkles *Lightens Liver Spots
  • ACNE Treatment *Reduces scarring *Lightens dark spots
  • We are a small family owned business supporting the USA. Proudly made in the USA at a FDA state of the art facility.


I found this vitamin C serum to be extremely effective. I tried a few other vitamin C serums, but eventually settled on this one, and here's why.

The first one I tried had a very watery "texture", but I used it as described for about four weeks, I noticed exactly... no difference at all. It probably was just a bottle full of water.

The next Vitamin C serum I tried was so awful smelling that I wasnt going to dare put it on my face. I gave it to a friend of mine who didnt mind the smell, and they used it for about five days before throwing it out because they got a comment about the smell.

This serum was my third one I tried (because hey, i keep reading and hearing so much about vitamin C!). There's no perfumes in this, which is great. I don't want perfumes in stuff that I'm putting on my face, I want skin rejuvenating results, which I have to say, is what I got. Fine lines- 50% GONE, sunspots, 75% GONE, firm skin= HELLO!

After I tried it once, I was hooked. It left my skin feeling softer and paired with my moisturizer I feel like I don’t have dry skin anymore. I use it twice daily now, it has become my daily routine.

I'm amazed with how soft my skin has become after about 20+ days of using it. Its not a "Miracle" (nothing is?) but it is definitely a huge, measurable improvement.

Ultrasport Travel and Sports Towel From Shandali Review


  • LIGHTEN YOUR LOAD WITH 83% LESS WEIGHT: Weighing less than 150grams-that's less than an average apple-the Shandali Ultrasport Travel Towel is 51% lighter than leading cotton alternatives. 
  • STAY ULTRA-DRY NO MATTER WHAT THE OCCASION: Our towels are 100% microfiber, which drys enormously faster than the leading alternatives. Microfiber drys 287% faster than cotton, and it will even dry quickly when you have it folded up or stored in your bag. You see-microfiber, a nylon alternative, was designed specifically to be highly absorbent and quick drying. Join the future of towels!
  • HANG IT UP WITH OUR EASY-TO-USE HOOK: One feature we're very proud of it our "easy-to-use" hook. Other towels either have a very small hook that isn't really that useful or are missing the hook altogether. We've developed our hook to be very practical and work in a variety of situations. Be confident that you'll never need to set your towel on the group to get dirty.
  • SOFT ON YOUR SKIN: Tired of itchy towels? Yup, we were too. That's why we decided to use a 100% microfiber towel with a high thread count, the result is a super soft, super-durable, and pleasantly enjoyable towel that you will love. Owning a towel that is enormously practical, comfortable, and in a fashionable color is important.


First off, I appreciate the carry-sac, it's very useful and a lot of manufacturers don't include it as standard. The towel itself is more fluffy and flocked than most modern hiking towels, which are flat to avoid unnecessary bulk, but I much prefer the feel of this more substantial towel. I have used this several times and it is holding up well. It absorbs a lot of water - save space in a gym bag. The fabric is very soft to the touch and comfortable. A perfect towel for workouts and runs.

Best Buy LG OLED Holiday - November 2014


Discover LG OLED TV – The Ultimate Display!

The stunning design of LG OLED TV is only 0.21" thick at its thinnest point. Picture quality is spectacular, with Infinite Contrast that ranges from the most blazing whites to the deepest blacks. And, LG's exclusive 4 Color Pixel technology delivers bright, vibrant colors. 

Learn more here: LGOLEDatBestbuy.com



Your first kiss. A baby's first steps. The majesty of a desert sunset. Some things in life defy all explanation and must be experienced to be believed. Such is the case with LG's latest display technology. With deeper and richer colors, stunning contrast and ingeniously curved screens, it is unlike any technology you've ever seen, and it delivers a picture that exceeds your wildest imagination.

























LG  55EC9300 SKU# 7846019 – OLED TV

  • Infinite contrast ratio and stunning color - delivers more natural, lifelike viewing.
  • 4 Color Pixel technology enhances color range and accuracy.
  • Super thin design (consider how to show visually)
  • Find content faster with webOS 


LG Electronics 55EC9300  OLED TV redefines the TV experience again. I have seen TVs from CRT black and white to LED TVs. I played around and watched on this OLED TV and it blew me away. The blacks are blacker and the color saturation is incredible. Talk about thin TVs. This is as thin as smartphones (only 4.3mm thick at its thinnest point ) and lightweight.

OLED has several advantages, one of them being no backlighting required. This means no light leakage. The movies appear gorgeous. Time to refresh is also in microseconds. Infinite contrast ratio! Contrast ratio measures the range from the brightest whites on the screen to the darkest blacks. Another great advantage is the viewing angle in OLED TVs, Typically in any living rooms, we have TV at one location and you may be seeing it in front of it, on dining tables, from kitchen etc. Typically viewing angle becomes less and less at different angles. LG ensures a great viewing angle.

This TV has several HDMI and USB interfaces. This makes it easy to connect camcorders, tablets, hard disks. OLED TV will redefine the TV landscape in next 3-5 years. LG has taken a big leap forward and I love their innovation with software using webOS.

Dot & Dot Muti Purpose Bags Review


  • SIZE: Large - 14" x 10" x 1", Medium - 10" x 8" x 1", Small - 8" x 6" x 1", X-Small - 7.5" x 3.5" x 1"
  • Waterproof mesh allows you to easily contents while protecting the contents from dirt or other elements
  • Easily open and close the zipper using the heavy duty zipper puller. Each bag includes a clip to securely attach your bag to handles.
  • These multipurpose bags can be used as travel packing bags, for the office, in school, at home and more.


I got this for our vacation, It made our trip easier by eliminating the digging in the carry-on's and were way more dependable than Ziplocs. The zippers were much sturdier than I was anticipating and the varying sizes fit our needs perfectly. I used them to separate my medicines, small toiletry items, snacks, just to mention a few. Having them separated into these bags made looking for things easier in the carry on. I expect to get many years out of them.

4K HDMI Cable Ultra Premium Series by Solid Cordz® Review





  • 24K Gold-plated HDMI® connectors provide optimal signal transfer & up to 18 Gbps Speed Rated
  • Triple-shielded HDMI® compliant cable protects against EMI/RFI
  • Supports up to 7.1 Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master AudioTM standards
  • Backward compatible to all previous versions
  • HDCP & RoHS & CEC Compliant & UL Certified


There is a great myth about it being necessary to buy $100+  HDMI cables. The expensive ones are supposedly better quality and have better jacketing. The truth is that hi-speed HDMI cables with ethernet are exactly the same. Sure, the expensive cables may have better materials and better quality control, and they may have better jackets. However, SolidCordz has not let me down! Their HDMI cables are as good as my MonsterCables which costed me $80 when I first bought my 1080p/240hz LCD screen. 

I got an SolidCordz cable when I bought another flat screen and had no issues with the picture quality or refresh rate. I played on my PS3 and watched BluRay videos just fine. Unless you're a videophile who owns a $5,000+ flat screen and have the most expensive equipment that money can buy, then you would probably be happier with a really expensive cable, although, it would just be as overpriced as all the other stuff you have purchased in the past. SolidCordz is the way to go for cables!
