During my last dental visit, the Hygienist recommended that I purchase the Oral B Professional Care 3000 Electric Toothbrush. The device was pretty pricy, but when she explained the benefits, I began to soften. I bit the bullet and purchased the toothbrush and hoped I'd have no regrets. Well this thing ended up being worth the investment. It came with various accompanying toothbrush heads for different types of focused cleaning, a travel case and an electric charger. Replacement adaptors are available for a nominal costs. The toothbrush is also Bluetooth adaptable to connect with an app that can be downloaded onto your smartphone to track how well you are brushing and send you reminders throughout the day! The toothbrush itself has a timed pause to ensure that you are spending the recommended time brushing all of the surfaces of your teeth and letting you know when it's okay to move on to the next area. I quickly got over how much this thing cost when I began to reap the benefits. When I returned for my next check up, my dental health had significantly improved since using this toothbrush with advanced features.
Pros: Electric action gets teeth cleaner than a manual brush; various adaptors for specialized cleaning; doesn't need batteries; timed pause every 30 seconds to ensure proper time spent brushing; Bluetooth app with tracking and reminders; travel case included, improved dental health
Cons: Costs around $100

My mom saw an advertisement touting the amazing effects of a product used by all beautiful French women, Micellar water. We laughed at the claim thinking "oh here we go, another miracle beauty product!". We were in our local drug store and saw a bottle of Simple Cleansing Micellar Water for less than $7 and decided to try it since it was so reasonable priced. The first thing I noticed when using the product was how gentle it was. There wasn't the usual harshness and sting of the other astringent type products I've used in the past. Next, the micellar water was dual purpose. It functioned as a makeup remover and cleanser all-in-one, and performed both very well. The instructions said there was no rinsing required. My skin felt fresh and clean after each use with no residual buildup or negative aftereffects. I love this product!
Pros: inexpensive, gentle on the skin, all-in-one makeup remover plus cleanser, no rinsing required
Cons: I couldn't find any!

I noticed my neck was beginning to show signs of my age with some slight wrinkling. So, I went on a search for the perfect product to address the problem and slow the progression. I presented myself at the cosmetic counter of my favorite local department store and described my issue to the beauty consultant. She showed me a few products but strongly suggested the StriVectin TL Advance Tightening Neck Cream highlighting that this product was made specifically for this issue, the high quality of StriVectin products and the fact that many of her clients return to tell her how well it has worked for them. She applied a sample to my neck so that I could test out the product. I immediately noted the pleasant, fresh scent of the cream. It went on smooth and absorbed well, leaving very little residual to get onto my clothing. I was sold as I purchased the 50mL/1.7 fl.oz container which lasted quite a long time considering that you only need to apply a small amount twice per day to see the effects. After using the cream for just a few days, I did notice that my neck was tighter and firmer than before. It did not totally reverse the wrinkles, but when used as directed it definitely made a huge difference in the appearance of the skin on my neck. I would surely recommend this product to anyone having trouble in this area. -

I was given a Fitbit Flex as a birthday gift. My friend thought it would be a great gift being that I was so into fitness. I was skeptical wondering how this gadget that tracks steps could help when I was already tracking my food and exercise on using a free app on my phone. I downloaded the app to my phone finding it to be a super easy process, even for someone who considers herself to be not technical at all. And I started stepping. You wear the Fitbit Flex as a bracelet on your arm. I hardly noticed it there at all. And to help you along if you're a fashionista, the latex bands that hold the device come in a variety of colors and patterns so that you can switch them up to match your outfits. If you want to get super fancy, some third party vendors even sell decorative costume jewelry bracelet or necklace holders. The Fitbit Flex helped me to notice that although I was exercising a few times a week, I wasn't really moving much at all the rest of the time, especially while I was at work. I started to compete with myself using the Fitbit to compete with my self and really increased my physical activity. You can give it a gentle tap and the display will give you an indication as to how close you are to reaching your daily goal. And in addition to tracking your steps, it also tracks your sleep! Another great feature is that it could connect to the app that I was already using on my phone and supplement the activities that I was already tracking. But, the Fitbit app allows you to connect and compete with friends and wage friendly competition. The app also tracks your progress and gives you "badges" when you meet certain daily and overall thresholds. I definitely recommend the FitBit Flex! -

This product is comparably priced to other similar products. It is not a miracle cream but it does exactly what it says it will do, that is to: smooth, soften, firm and tone your skin. With regular use, I found this to be the case. It does have a hint of menthol smell, so I recommend putting it on fresh out of the shower in the morning then topping it with your favorite scented lotion after it dries, or better yet using it a bedtime. When combined with your normal skin care and moisturizing routine, you really will see a difference in the texture of your skin. And I speak from experience when I say that coupling it with eating a healthy diet and exercise truly boosts the effects. -
