Bliss Slimulator (cellulite treatment)
This little massager for cottage cheese thighs is an “interesting” product. I have used the Bliss cellulite cream, FatGirlSlim, and decided to rename it DumbGirlBroke, but I did not use it at the same time as this massager. I actually received this item later as a free gift. …
Kingsley Cucumber Gel Eye Masque

FatGirlSlim Super-Sized cellulite cream 16 oz

Walgreens Cleansing Eyelid Pads 30 ct

Zeno Hot Spot Blemish Clearing Device

Secret Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Aerosol Spray Powder Fresh
My mom has used this product for years, and when we went away on a trip and I forgot my deodorant, I used hers for almost two weeks. I’ve long been a fan of Secret, but I normally use the invisible solids that they offer. They last longer, …
Swanson Melatonin 3mg Capsules Sleep-inducing Supplement
It’s generally hard to put myself to sleep. I’m guilty of staying up late. I suppose not much has changed since I was a sleep-deprived college student. My body has immense memory and really remembers that I slept only 3 hours the past day and subsequently …
Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo 33.8 oz

Aquabella Deluxe Shower Cap - Medium

Bally Total Fitness Thigh Toner

Listerine Pocketpaks, Cool Mint portable strips
When I saw these on the shelf for the first time, I said “No way.”

Oral-B Humming Bird Power Flosser And Pick

SkinMilk Body Cream, 16-Ounce Jar
I’m not sure what it is about the idea of milk proteins on your skin that is so appealing. Maybe it reminds me of creaminess and a soft texture. I must not be the only one who likes the sound of it, as Skin Milk has a whole line of …

Walgreens Isopropyl Alcohol 70% Wipes
