Plaque has a positive charge. The enamel on your teeth has a negative charge. As opposites, they attract and stick, making plaque hard to remove. The Ionic ProClean temporarily changes the enamel to a charge so that plaque can be lifted away by the brush.

I would like to try the 7-in-1 beauty kit.

Remington Back & Body Groomer – #38

November 30, 2009 By Kelli Leave a Comment

TGI Monday! Although, I have a list a mile long, I am glad it is Monday. My days are much more productive when Zack is at school and Ricky is at work. We (Tripp, Tank, and I) have a schedule that works for us and the other two put it all out of whack when they are here during the day.

Anyway, today is our final gift guide but I have some awesome things to tell you about at the beginning of December!

Under 10 Dollars: Young Adults 16 to 21 Holiday Gift Guide

November 28, 2009 By Kelli Leave a Comment

Good morning! Did you have a great Holiday? I did! I enjoyed Thanksgiving day visiting family and getting STUFFED! Turkey, ham, potato salad, green bean casserole, pineapple casserole, oyster dressing, regular dressing, stuffing, corn, cabbage, macaroni and cheese, broccoli casserole, sweet potato casserole, and more! We know how to cook down here in the south and do it in large quantities! Anyway, I will tell you about my Friday later. On to the guide:

Aroma Pod

It looks an iPod, but instead of music the Sniff n Go aromapod delivers a mood boost using a blend of 100% pure essential oils infused into a personal inhaler that is convenient, discreet and easy to use.

Instead of dispersing the aromas indiscriminately into the environment, Sniff n Go delivers the aromas directly to the nose of the user in a take-anywhere aromapod that’s smaller than a credit card and fits easily in a pocket or purse. Just slide open, inhale deeply 3 to 5 times, and close.

They are the perfect solution for a fragrance-free environment and provide a gentle ‘mood boost’ whenever you need it throughout the day. They are great for women, men, teens and even kids. Choose from Awake, Calm, Energize, Focus, Harmony and Sensual. (Other lines are also available but more specific to Diet, Menopause, smoking, etc — not too cool for a Christmas gift!)

Available at The SOS Lab for $5.99

Mom Says: My favorite is the Energy. With 3 Boys and a Dog, I need all the energy I can get. With Rosemary and Lemon, it has a very clean smell and the Menthol gives you a wide awake feel. This would be great for your children’s teachers. LOL!

zobmondentertainment 2066 349084 Under 10 Dollars: Young Adults 16 to 21 Holiday Gift Guide

Would You Rather: Twisted, Sick, and Wrong Pocket Game

It contains a game board and introduces Challenge Cards to make game play even more diverse and fun. This version has content that is very edgy. This is truly the Twisted, Sick & Wrong Version. As with the Original Zobmondo!! game, this game is not for the easily squeamish. It creates an outrageous, hilarious evening of fun by pushing the envelope. Zobmondo!! Would You Rather…? TSW can be purchased at specialty retailers, web retailers, and at Zobmondo.com

Available at Zobmondo for $11.95

Mom Says: I do not like that the website claims this is a perfect drinking game in one sentence then says that it is not appropriate for players under 16. This is NOT a drinking game and is fine for teens! It is gross, icky, and when the boys are teens they will LOVE it.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, 2009!

November 26, 2009 By Kelli Leave a Comment

Before you fret, no I am not writing this on Thanksgiving morning. This is a pre-written post, but I wanted to wish all my loyal readers a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving! I also wanted to let you know that I won’t be around my blog for the next two days. This is a time for family and I will be spending it with them.

Thanksgiving Day is spent cooking in the morning, eating in the afternoon, and planning in the evening.

Black Friday is spent SHOPPING! (Hence, the planning on Thursday night) Yes, we are those weird people that get up hours before the sun to get in line at the stores.

I will be back in full swing on Saturday with the gift guides. Sorry that I didn’t plan them better to have them all end before Black Friday, but no worries… the remaining things are all under 10 dollars.

Anyway, again… I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and be careful! To my Canadians, hang tight, I will be back!
