This is no ordinary rice cooker.  With a “brain” and the ability to cook multiple different types of foods, the Rice Plus Multi-Cooker saves me time and effort in the kitchen.  Cleaning up is a breeze and it even comes with some recipes.  With all the tools necessary to create perfectly cooked risotto or wild rice, the only thing missing is your main course.  Read my full review at Rockin’ Mama.

Getting clean, flawless skin has never been easier with the Clarisonic Classic Sonic Skin Cleansing System.  I just LOVE the way my skin feels after using this. If you don’t have time to get regular facials, or want skin that feels like it does, check out this system.

Clarisonic is an innovative new product that is revolutionizing the definition of clean, healthy skin.  Developed by the creators of Sonicare, Clarisonic Skin Care System is the first oscillating face brush that deep cleanses, stimulates, and clarifies skin.  The brush creates over 300 movements per second (wow!) to elicit a gentle sonic micro-massage action which help to loosen sebum and dirt. It works with the skin’s natural elasticity to unclog pores for deeper cleansing without stripping the skin.  Clarisonic cleans your skin so thoroughly that it actually helps prepare your skin to absorb other skin care products like moisturizers.
