Don't Break a Sweat!

The folks at Degree sent me their new Degree Women motionSense Deodorant to try and it's now the first product I grab as soon as I get out of the shower. Why is it so great? It contains motion-activated micro-capsules that break and release bursts of freshness once movement occurs. Which means your deodorant is working as soon as you start moving and who has time to sit still? Brilliant! Available soon at mass retailers nationwide.

I just got off a webinar with Kiss Nails. Check out their ghoulish, freaky, fun and most of all, fabulously inexpensive nail and body art available at Walgreens, CVS and other drugstores nationwide. www.kissusa.com
