Aug 2010 Total score with this bad boy! So tired of the hangnails while I'm out running errands, not to mention yuck under my nails from volunteering for a class project. I scored this Mini Nail Rescue Kit by Tweezerman. It's about 2 inches of hard plastic shell in my purse with the most fab little cuticle nippers, metal nail file and mini pushy and under nail cleaner. It's a permanent fixture in my purse and an essential part of my beauty regimen when I'm out and about! And it's only $20 at www.tweezerman.com and local retailers. |

Jun 2010 I used to live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. One of the best things about it was eating at Zingerman's! We moved away 5 years ago, but still send their world-famous yummy deliciousness as gifts for thank you's, housewarmings, new babies, etc. My best girlfriend in Los Angeles (what up, Sabrina!) just had another baby and rather than send the usual toys and stuff, I sent her loaves of bread! Their bread is sumptuous (and freezer-friendly), and everything from ginger-jump up cookies with crystalized ginger chunks to the "French Cheese Passport" is devoured by my friends and family. Save 10% thru July 9, 2010 with secret code ALLSPICE at www.zingermans.com. |

May 2010 I've been waiting for this... and so has my daughter! The PERFECT lamp for her desk. This LED Task lamp, which I bought at Kreativa for Kids and Teens for $45 (www.kreativaforkids.com), comes in nifty colors for every decor. It's totally adjustable (height and angle), uses only a trickle of electricity and best of all, it doesn't get hot to the touch. I bought the lime green, but it comes in white, light blue, black and orange, too. Get a MavenDeals coupon to save 20% at Kreativa at http://www.iamthemaven.com/shops/kreativa-for-kids. |

This is a lifesaver! I got my Clarisonic about a year ago at My Derma Clinic in Pinecrest after a particularly gruesome facial (my fault, not theirs!). My pores were gunky and my skin was dehydrated. Now I've got my husband hooked (he puts shaving cream on with it for a closer shave) and my sister AND my mom (who is a technophobe) are on board. It'll save your skin and reduce the number of expensive skin treatments. Pricey but worth every penny. Available at Maven-Approved My Derma Clinic (www.mydermaclinic.com) for around $195. You can also buy at www.sephora.com. |

Apr 2010 Cleans all the cat boogies on my walls! Love my persian cats but HATE their constant sneezing and yuck. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser has been a staple in my house since they first launched, and I tell EVERYONE how awesome they are. Gets crayons and markers off plastic tables and walls, cleans mildew off plastic outdoor furniture, removes scuffs from moldings and kid footprints from leather seats in the car. No weird chemicals in this super-secret sponge- just add water and rub off the gunk! I like to wipe dry with a towel afterward. Pkg of 8 at (www.drugstore.com) for $8.29 or buy at your local drug, grocery, hardware or super-store. |

Mar 2010 I've been rockin' the Essie Midnight Cami (#697) for a few months now and I'm hooked! This slightly shimmery dark navy blue is not quite black, not quite blue. It actually reminds me of the iridescent blue/black taffeta dress I wore to my brother's wedding in 1987-- in a good way! People always ask me what shade I'm wearing, so there it is! Available at Maven-Approved GBS Beauty Stores (www.gbsbeauty.com) for $8. |
