Heel Tastic Intensive Heel Therapy by Earth to Skin

I had the wonderful opportunity to try out the Heel Tastic made by Earth to Skin. Yes you may have seen this on TV. I know I have and wondered if that would really work as I often wonder to myself when seeing these commercials on TV.

It stands approx 5 inches tall. It’s  really a good amount. I thought it was going to be much smaller.  It’s 2 ounces. When you take the lid off it has a wonderful lemony herbal scent. It’s very refreshing.

Now living in Florida in the summer my heels get very dry from walking on the hot sand and concrete barefoot.  Right now they are dry but not cracking.  I have to say I really was not sure this was going to work and was pleasantly surprised. It really worked great.  You just take the lid off and apply. No mess. No fuss.

You do not want to use this while walking barefoot after application on tile or any slippery surface unless you want to slip and slide. It’s great for putting on and putting your shoes on or socks. I was happy to have soft skin once again. I can not wait to use this during the summer.

You can find it here at  Heel Tastic Intensive Heel Therapy or on the television commercial.  It is well worth trying.

Valentine’s Day Gifts that Won’t Make You Gain Weight

Dylan’s Candy Bar Caddy Gift Set “To Go“ offers all a little bit of sweets without having to have to do a major workout after using them. This would make a great Valentine’s Day gift or even a just beacause I was thinking of you. 

This is a cute little to go basket that would be perfect for the woman that is always traveling, goes to college or even a teen girl.  Who doesn’t like the mini version of things right? My girls flipped when they saw they had big versions as well as mini ones. I do get their excitement, it just makes them so cute and not to mention I always find buying the smaller product first the better idea just in case you don’t like it. If you like it you know you can go back online or to the store and purchase the bigger item.

With the “To Go” order you will get 2 lotions and 2 shower gels. This one has chocolate cupcake on one side and the other is birthday cake batter (which I explained in a previous review really smells like frosting). I do want to let you know that the chocolate cupcake lotion does come out white, so no worries there.  (my daughter thought it would come out brown and stay that color until she rubbed it in, I think she was thinking of a sunscreen she once wore) Between the two my favorite is the chocolate.

Here’s a copy of the ingredients in the lotion:

• Shea Butter – derived from the African Karite Nut; used for centuries on cracked, flaky or dehydrated skin; helps skin retain moisture & elasticity; helps protect skin against environmental damage due to naturally high content of Vitamins A & E.
• Vitamins A & E – potent anti-oxidants; help protect & nourish skin while adding luster.
• Aloe Vera Extract – derived from the gel contained in the leaf of the succulent Aloe plant. Aloe Vera has over 200 biologically active ingredients & has been used for centuries as a healing beauty tool. Aloe Vera is known to be a great skin moisturizer that helps to keep skin supple. Helps to increase skin’s hydration and healing properties.
• Chamomile Extract – known anti-allergenic agent that is useful to help soothe and prevent skin irritations. Particularly beneficial for dry, parched skin especially where there is redness or irritation.
• Jojoba Seed Oil – bio-degradable, non-greasy, hypo-allergenic, natural lubricant; moisturizes & conditions the skin.

Just think you can give this to someone you love and not feel guilty about how much is used up….they won’t gain an ounce using it. Want it? You can place an order on the Dylan’s Candy Bar website and click on “To Go.” The To Go currently costs: $14.40

isABelt - A MomGadget Review

Over the last couple weeks, I have been trying this hot new item isABelt and while I could just tell everyone how much I love it - I’m going to expand on that a bit and tell everyone why they need to add one or two to their own wardrobe and accessories collection.

Once I put on my isABelt, not only does it keep my pants up, it also keeps my underwear in place and prevents me from appearing as though I am in the running for some sort of repairman role on a stereotypical bit complete with plumbers crack making it’s grand entrance. I’ll spare you the gory details and description on that little issue.

Like most people, I’ve been saying I am going to lose weight and tone up since the first of the year - but that’s yet to happen. One problem at a time, right?

If this ABelt interests you, you should check out the entire line of items they offer.

And guys, they didn’t leave you out - they have a isABelt that is unisex! I particularly like the fact that there is a span between sizes so even if I don’t manage to lose those extra pounds I don’t have to feel like a hoss.  The one I am using says it fits up to size 14 and the one below fits to size 10 so with a little isABelt magic - I can feel smaller.

isABelt comes in black or clear. They have a nice selection of small, medium, large and plus size. isABelt provides a great fix for your teenager that is having the “ lowrise slippage” and for the even younger crowd, there’s one for children6/6x to JR size 12. There are some really cute designs that come on the belts such as skull-n-bones, cupcakes, cherries and of course smiley faces and peace signs.

You may also appreciate the boot toppers or their versatile body & apparel tape … wow what a nifty idea!

I would also like to comment that the site is very nice and user friendly. Visit them at www.isabelt.com -

A Gorgeous White Smile is Possible with Opalescence Treswhite Supreme

Have you ever looked at someone and thought “Wow, they have a gorgeous smile”? A smile, a white one to be exact, is important and it really can boost your confidence level. And Valentine’s Day of all holidays, is a day to smile about right!? I think so!

Let’s say you don’t have a significant other to spend Valentine’s Day with and you are feeling a little down. You should do something special for yourself! Pamper yourself. Get a great haircut, go to the spa or treat yourself to a sparkling white smile.

Or, let’s say you DO have someone to spend this special day with. A beautiful dazzling white smile would go great with that red dress.

I had the chance to review a fantastic teeth whitening system. It’s called Opalescence Treswhite Supreme. I am not new to this teeth whitening thing and have not really had a good experience with it in the past. I have tried the strips and the brush on creams and once tried a product (who will go unnamed) that actually made me sick. Blech!

Opalescence Treswhite Supreme is a treatment (you can get it from your dentist) which is Ultradent’s latest teeth-whitening product and it features new improved comfort and flavors. I received the mint to try and let me tell you, I love the tray system! It is so much easier and I feel gives greater results than the ones I have tried in the past.

Whitening with this system is super easy. Each time I used it, I started with the upper tray, positioned it, sucked in a little to make sure it adhered to my teeth and then removed the green outer tray. I then repeated with the bottom and went about my morning routine of showering, getting dressed, doing my hair and putting on my makeup. They recommend you leave it on for 30 to 60 minutes and I found leaving it on for 30 minutes was not only doable, but it got me the results I wanted and fast. After about 3 treatments, I already started noticing a difference.

Here are some more details about the product:

* Ideal for people on the go (since it’s worn for only minutes a day)
*Easy to apply: you don’t even need a mirror;
*Available in enjoyable flavors like mint, melon and peach
* Comfortable to wear with thinner custom trays and less excess gel
*Purchased through dentists for as low as $75

Opalescence Treswhite Supreme is also used by many celebrities like Paris Hilton, Kellan Lutz, Taylor Lautner, Susan Sarandon, Mario Lopez, Maureen McCormick (pictured above) and the list goes on and on.

If you are looking for a fast, cost-effective way to whiten your teeth that really works, I would definitely recommend this system. I personally will never go back to the strips and creams that I’ve tried in the past.

Step Out in Sculptz: Tights, Sheers and Leggings Oh My!

Looking for some sexy tights, sheers, or leggings to dress up your Valentine’s Day outfit? Try stepping out in Sculptz. The slimming and smoothing features of Sculptz Shaper Tops and Control Tops will help you look your absolute best.

Sculptz Animal Pattern Opaque Tights with Shaper Top

For my review of Sculptz Animal Pattern Opaque Tights with Shaper Top, I could not resist quoting the Sculptz site: “Wild thing, you make my heart sing and legs swing!” This is the most fun I’ve had in a pair of tights! The animal pattern is flirty, sexy and makes you feel like you really did step on over to the wild side. Again, I can’t say enough about the shaping qualities of the Sculptz Shaper Top. It offers smooth shaping to eliminate bulges and panty lines, gives you lift in your rear, and slims your hips and thighs. It makes me feel so good it even gives me a spring in my step.

For more information or purchases visit the product page at Sculptz.

Sculptz 1 Carat Diamond with Shaper Top

Easily my favorite, 1 Carat Diamond Sheers by Sculptz again brought back a flood of memories from high school. This time it was the dance teams days. As soon as I slipped into the sexy diamond pattern I pictured myself wearing a top hat and tails and fishnet stockings dancing to some tune from All That Jazz or A Chorus Line. Now that I’m all grown up, I really don’t have a place for fishnet stockings in my wardrobe but 1 Carat Diamond Sheers by Sculptz offer the sexy appeal of fishnets in a sheer full coverage stocking. Suitable for day or evening wear, these sheers offer all the Sculptz trademark shaping, lifting and slimming features with its unique shaping control panel. It even has a run guard at the upper thigh!

For more information or purchases visit the product page at Sculptz.

Sculptz Opaque Legging with Control Top

In 2009 I discovered the comfort and versatility of leggings. They have become a staple of my wardrobe. I wear them under skirts, dresses, and long sweaters. Until having the opportunity to review a pair of leggings from Sculptz, I had never thought to venture far from colors like black and brown. Then along came Apple of My Eye Red just in time for the Sweetheart’s Season! Sculptz leggings come in other fun colors like All Spiced Up Copper, Shaken Not Stirred Emerald, Purple Passion, and Plum Pickings! Caution: If you are looking for the “WOW” factor then I would recommend staying with the Shaper Tops. However, if you are looking for a comfortable legging that offers gentle slimming of the tummy while still hiding those panty lines then the control top in Sculptz Opaque Legging will do the job.

Get the Skinny on Sculptz

Get the Skinny on Sculptz Shapely Perfection Shorts

After my “Little Black Dress Success” with the Spacer Technology Body Briefer by Sculptz, I was eager to see if the Sculptz Shapely Perfection Shorts also lived up to their reputation. I was not to be disappointed!

As soon as I tried them on and saw the shaping control panels in action flattening the tummy, lifting the rear and slimming the hips and thighs, I was back in the closet in search of long lost friends. You know the ones I’m talking about. That skirt you wore when you were “skinny” or that pair of pants with the tags still attached and never worn because they were just a bit too snug when you bought them. Who could pass up designer slacks on a clearance rack and besides, hadn’t you just made that resolution to lose five pounds?

Shapely Perfection Shorts by Sculptz comfortably smooth out the bulges and eliminate unsightly panty lines. I love the lacey trim and the five fabulous colors including Fuschiadelic! What could be flirtier for Valentine’s Day than hot pink? I’m also happy to say that several of my long lost friends have reclaimed their hanging space at the front of the closet. Even that pair of slacks with the tags still attached!

Valentine’s Day Secret Weapon: Sculptz Body Briefer

. . .

What’s my Valentine’s Day Secret Weapon?
Spacer Technology Body Briefer by Sculptz!

The other day I came across an old high school photograph from my days as a Varsity Cheerleader.   I remember thinking, “Wow. I looked pretty good back then.”  While I have not gained a serious amount of weight and my body type is relatively the same, a quick glance in the mirror is all the proof I need of the 26 years that have passed since that photograph was taken.  Pregnancy and gravity have both left their marks!

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I wondered what I could do to look and feel more attractive for myself and my husband. Sure, he loves me just as I am, but come on, wouldn’t it be nice to surprise him with that little black dress I wore for him several years ago? You know the one that is just a little too little? Quickly, I searched the depths of the abyss I call my closet and finally recovered that little back dress.

Putting the dress on proved to be only a small challenge.  Once I got over the claustrophobia of getting it over my shoulders and zipped up the side, I realized that it didn’t look too bad but it lacked the “WOW” factor I was hoping for. Slightly snug around the waist, a couple bulges I could probably hide if I held my breath long enough and there, on top, signs of that gravity effect I was talking about earlier.

How could I make this dress fit better by Valentine’s Day? I love food so starving myself is out of the question and exercise is not really my favorite pastime. Could the Sculptz Spacer Technology Body Briefer really do the trick?  Time for the test. After spending a few minutes peeling the dress off I was ready to try on my Sculptz. I almost laughed when I pulled it out of the packaging. There was no way this tiny little thing was going to fit on my body!  I must have ordered the wrong size. I grinned as I was instantly reminded of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and decided to give it a shot. Within a few moments I was snugly but comfortably outfitted in the most amazing stretchy fabric that seemed to shape and smooth away quite a number of those 26 years since my cheerleading days. The full coverage Sculptz Spacer Technology Body Briefer is made from a three way stretch fabric that is exclusive to Sculptz.  As an added plus, as I looked in the mirror, I thought, “this is kind of sexy!” I slipped and zipped that little black dress back on over my Sculptz with much more ease than the first time.  Looking in the mirror I instantly noticed a remarkable difference in the way the dress fit from only minutes before. Gone were the unsightly bulges and I no longer felt a need to suck in my breath! Remember that gravity issue?  While I can’t promise the moon, I can say that the “girls” were floating a bit and there was definite lift in the rear! And look! No VPL! (Visible Panty Lines!)

Goodbye corsets and girdles, hello body briefer!  The full coverage Sculptz Spacer Technology Body Briefer lives up to its reputation as the “secret weapon” to be worn under every little black dress.

Valentine’s Day Date Night Essential: Colgate Wisp

Every girl has their own last minute checklist of must have date night essentials.  Inside her purse you will probably find lipstick, perfume, and of course an after dinner mint.  After all, we ladies like to think ahead to that goodnight kiss and fresh, kissable breath is not something we leave to chance!

This year, I say ditch the mints! Go one step further and add a Colgate Wisp to your list and get fresh breath and clean teeth. Not only will you have kissable breath, but you will also avoid that embarrassing “You’ve got something right there between your teeth” moment!

Each Colgate Wisp contains a tiny breath freshening bead in the brush that releases a minty liquid in your mouth. The cleaning bristles in the brush head clean gently between teeth and leave your teeth with that smooth, silky, clean feeling.  There is even a built in pick that helps clean those hard to reach places.

Measuring just 3 1/2” in length it is the perfect size to carry with you wherever you go. A package of four Wisps is roughly the size of a pack of gum and one Wisp fits perfectly inside a lipstick case.  Available in three minty flavors, Peppermint, Spearmint, and my personal favorite, Cinnamint, Colgate Wisps are reasonably priced at $2.39 for a 4 pack and $7.99 for 16.

So go ahead and scratch the mints off your list!  This Valentine’s Day, toss a Colgate Wisp in your bag of date night essentials and be prepared for that goodnight kiss with fresh breath and sexy, clean teeth.

ShaToBu - Calorie Burning Shaper

Hello posture, my old friend.

The ShaToBu, the tummy SHAping - muscle TOning - calorie BUrning system designed to give you a workout while you wear it is fascinating.  There.  I said it.  My sample stretched from my diaphragm to my knees and ladies, this thing will smooth the bumps and lumps with a series well-constructed resistance bands at the legs and buns plus a control panty that does the job quite well.  Touted as helping your muscles work a little harder each time you wear it thus giving you a mini-workout, I found that the shaper did a great job of not making me feel like a sausage by the end of the day.  The high waist of my shaper was comfortable and didn’t roll when I sat down, it wasn’t binding nor do the leg bands pinch.  As a shaper itself, I lost about a half an inch on my waist and hips and an inch on my thighs while on.  My favorite part of the shaper is the effect it had on my posture, the high waist helps to keep my back in alignment, who knew being hunched over a desk writing all day would throw a back out of whack?  Definitely a thumbs up for the ShaToBu, I was impressed!

The ShaToBut makes its public debut mid-February, 2010.
