Well, say goodbye to the pain and hello to the Bare Ease “ouchless” bikini waxing kit! This long-awaited numbing kit was created by anesthesiologist, Dr. Edna Ma and uses 4% lidocaine cream to numb your nether regions during a trip to the wax-itician. This numbing cream is actually used in hospitals worldwide to numb areas of skin for laser procedures and administering shots. Some tattoo parlors even use this numbing goop to ease the pain from having a needle jabbed into your skin thousands of times.

Here’s how it works: Each kit comes with a single-use tube of numbing solution that you are instructed to apply over your desired waxing area at least 30 minutes before the dreaded waxing experience. Next, put on the pink panties, which are included, that help protect your clothing when you are en route to the waxing parlor. These disposable skivvies also help the numbing cream stay in the designated area.

The numbing effect only lasts 30 minutes to an hour, so make sure you don’t apply the anesthetic until you are prepared and ready to get your business waxed. You can get this pain-saving kit for $25 at the Bare Ease website. Although this numbing creation may up your bikini wax budget, it is truly worth the moolah to prevent your private area from experiencing that kind of pain. It works. It's not ouchless, but definitly do-able!

I bought a bar of this at my Prenatal appointment, it smelled good enough and I loved that it was all natural and safe for my skin and baby inside. These soaps are so cool! They are 100% natural, totally wild and wonderful, and produced by a fabulous small green business, owned by Maggie Hanus and her son, who cleverly refer to themselves as "soap bartenders". Located near Austin, Texas, A Wild Soap Bar uses lots of plants and herbs native to Texas, like yucca, for refreshingly different soap products.So what is wrong with your typical soap? Soaps often contain DEA (diethonolamine), as do many shampoos, detergents and surfactants.



Key ingredients are saponified cold pressed olive oil, saponified coconut oil, distilled water, saponified organic palm oil, saponified castor oil, organic aloe, essential oils, earth clays, wildflowers and numerous other botanicals, sea salt, ultramarines, iron oxides




Words cannot express how truly wonderful these soaps are! I now realize that I spent most of my life using the "fast-food" version of soap. These soaps are just wild, with beautiful earthy colors, invigorating textures that often include bits of herbs and grains, and the most heavenly and exotic aromas I've ever encountered in soaps ( Bluebonnet, Prickly Pear, Cedarwood, Wildflower, Sunflower, Mesquite, Yucca Root, and Horsemint).

Additionally, they do not dry your skin out at all, but rather leave it feeling soft, silky, moisturized, and smelling heavenly for hours! I can often identify which soap my husband used after he gets out of the shower, because the pleasant aroma just emanates from his skin.

I am not sure I will ever use another soap that is not made by A Wild Soap Bar- that is how much I am loving these soaps! If you are ready for an invigorating, uplifting, and exotic bathing experience, then you have to try these soaps! The best part is they have an odds and ends lot that is unmarked(but who cares? It's all amazing)and includes four bars & for a limited time, you buy one get one free..

Yep, I still have an obsession with shoes and have been rocking heels throughout my pregnancy. I know I have told you about Shoedazzle, and I still am a member of that site. I have recently discovered a little more upscale version. Just $10 more a month, classier shoes, same concept.

If you subscribe to HauteLook, you may have gotten an invitation to join Sole Society.
Details from the website:

After you make your first purchase, you officially become a member of Sole Society. Once a member, there is no obligation to purchase each month. If you are not in the mood, simply visit your closet by the fifth day the month and select the “Let’s Skip This Month” and you won’t be charged the monthly membership fee. There is no limit to the number of months you can skip. If you choose to skip the month, and change your mind, you can still visit your closet and purchase as many shoes as you would like. Please note that you cannot skip a month by phone or email. If you do not purchase or skip by the 5th of the month, you will receive a membership charge to your credit card and a membership credit in your Sole Society account for $49.95 on the 6th of the month.

Be sure to either make a selection or skip the month to avoid the monthly membership charge. You can never accumulate more than three months or $150.00 of membership credit in your account. Your Sole Society membership credits can be used for 12 months.
