I received a MicroDry Bath Mat to review and one to give away to one lucky reader (in your choice of color)! I just know you are going to love it. It’s so soft and comforting on my feet when I get out of the tub.

The MicroDry® top fabric is super soft and absorbs water twice as fast as other materials, making it extremely gentle and ultra absorbent.

Filled with memory foam, it cushions your feet and feels great while you dry off and get ready for the day. The non-slip base ensures that the bath mat grips firmly to the floor for safety. MicroDry® is sinfully soft and delightfully convenient.

The MicroDry Bath Mat comes in four different colors, white, ivory, light blue and chocolate brown, to fit into any bathroom decor. They offer two different sizes, 17″ x 24″ for $19.99 and 21″ x 34″ for $29.99. I really liked the loop that is attached to the bottom of it, so I can hang it up to dry after my shower.

Olay TE Body Wash_Logo Final I recently had the chance to try out the Olay Total Effects Body Wash. It was hard for me to judge this body wash because I am completely SOLD on Caress’s new line.

As I’ve said before, the smell of a beauty product is my number one deciding factor on if I will use it or not, and I just wasn’t into the smell of the Olay Total Effects. It almost has a “manly” smell to it, and not feminine or pretty at all. My husband actually loves the smell…on him. HA! I do really like how it lathers, and the way it leaves my skin soft. I will have to use it more to see if it really is anti-aging as it claims to be.

viva_elvis_logo I had the opportunity to go to the World Premier of Viva Elvis Cirque du Soleil and it was just fantastic! The costumes, and the music, was just amazing. The part that stood out to me the most was the wedding scene between Elvis and Priscilla.

The song, Can’t Help Falling in Love, was sung by a beautiful singer sitting on top of a gigantic wedding cake. On the big screen was a slide show of their wedding pictures. Priscilla sat a few rows in front of us, and I kept looking at her to see her reaction, but she was just smiling. Me, on the other hand, couldn’t stop the tears from flowing. It was very moving.

I recently got a chance to review a new personal lubricant and I was really skeptical. We have used every single one on the mainstream market, and they have been continuously disappointing us time and time again. They all seem wonderful in the beginning. They have a nice scent, and the consistency feels smooth. But they always end up becoming sticky and just gross.

Quite honestly, when I received the Aloe Cadabra samples I didn’t have much faith in them. They had the same nice scent, and the smooth feeling we were use to, but I just knew in the back of my mind, they would break down and become sticky. WOW! Were we ever proven wrong! Not only did it last, but it never, ever became sticky and gross. We’re sold!

I got three different scents to try, French Lavender, Tahitian Vanilla, and Natural Aloe. We both agreed that the French Lavender was our favorite. I know just the name of that sounds likes it’s going to be an over-powering feminine flowery smell that your man won’t like, but it’s really not. It’s a very light pleasurable scent.

Aloe Cadabra 2.5oz – $7.95

  • Certified organic Aloe Vera
  • All natural food grade gel
  • Won’t harm condoms or other synthetic toys
  • Not a spermicide
  • Will not prevent STDs
  • Safe if ingested

Aloe Cadabra-The All Natural Lubricant Coupon Code: Use TOUCH at checkout to receive free shipping!

We also like the fact that the ingredients in Aloe Cadabra are all natural. Have you read the ingredients labels of some personal lubricants on the market? Chlorhexidine? Methylparaben? I don’t know about you, but I’d rather not put that stuff on my body, thankyouverymuch. So make sure to try out the all natural Aloe Cadabra lubricant. I highly recommend it!
