Don’t let the name fool you. This garment is not specifically to wear when you’re going to the spa. It is a comfortable dress – that can double as a skirt – for many different occasions.

First of all, The Spa Dress is easy to pack. It doesn’t wrinkle so just roll it up and put it in your bag or purse. Secondly, this is an item that is great for vacations as well as being at home.

So, what exactly is The Spa Dress? It’s a comfy dress with an elastic bodice with straps you can tie as a halter or simply tuck inside to make it strapless. It will still stay put even if you don’t tie it around your neck. The Spa Dress can also be worn as a long skirt.

If you’re lounging around the house and you don’t want to wear your PJs, The Spa Dress fits the bill, literally. It is an attractive piece of loungewear, and if someone happens to ring your doorbell you’re perfectly dressed to answer it without feeling self-conscience.

For times when you’re out by the pool, The Spa Dress acts as a swimsuit cover-up as well as a poolside outfit. Don’t be modest about wearing it to a pool party or an outdoor bar-be-que. It’s perfectly suitable for these occasions.

Most of us feel a little more comfortable walking around with a cover-up over our bottom half when we’re by a pool. Just pull The Spa Dress up and place the ribbed part over your waist and voila. You have an instant skirt to cover your suit from your waist down. And it looks good.

Okay, so let’s talk about the name. The Spa Dress is definitely something to take when you go to a spa. Instead of walking in with a bulky robe – you know the kind they give you in hotels – you can walk in looking stylish and ready for your spa experience.

And as a piece of loungewear, The Spa Dress is perfect when you come home after a long day and need to kick off your shoes and take off your clothes. Just slip on The Spa Dress and unwind from the day while feeling comfortable and fashionable. It’s so soft to the touch and your skin.

The Spa Dress currently comes in three colors: Confidence Boosting Black, Get Gorgeous Pink, and Starting Over White. There are more colors (blue, red, green, and yellow) coming out at a later date. With three sizes from which to choose, you are sure to find the right one for you.

I get plenty of products to test/review and I have definitely fallen in love with this one. I especially like the softness and the versatility.

The Spa Dress lists for $69.00.

We have all had days when our eyes ache or are puffy. Whether it’s from lack of sleep, headaches, or allergies, eyes are usually the first to be affected. The solution is to place a cool cloth on your eyes while you lay down. (That’s what I usually do.) Or put an ice pack over your eyes. But both of those remedies require the user to stay put and lying down. The new FreezeFrames Cool Care Eyewear addresses this problem in a new way.

The FreezeFrames are sunglasses with magnets placed inside the frames for the small magnetic gel pads that accompany the glasses. After placing the gel pads in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes (or a glass of ice), they are ready to use. Simply attach them to the inside of the glasses and that’s it. When the glasses are put in place, the user can now go out into the world and still get the benefits of cooling compression in the eye area.

The gel pads attach to the inside upper and lower area of the sunglasses and do not impede sight. The cooling pads touch the face on the upper and lower areas around the eyes. There are also magnets on the temple areas so you can also place the gel pads there for cooling compression on the sides of your eyes/face.

So why is this something people might need when a cool cloth or ice pack will do the same thing? It allows the user to get up and out of the house. If you have to walk your kids to school and you wake up with swollen eyes or a headache, you can’t stop your life to stay in bed for an additional 20 minutes while you put a cool cloth or ice pack on your eyes. The FreezeFrames are there for those times when you simply need to get out and get on with your life, while at the same time soothing tired, sore, or swollen eyes.

They are comfortable however I wouldn’t recommend using them all day long as your regular sunglasses. These glasses are for a specific purpose, however if you happen to have them with you and have forgotten your everyday sunglasses, simply remove the gel pads and you have a pair of dark glasses on hand.

The FreezeFrames are also good for when you go to a spa. They cool down your eyes while you are sitting in a steam room or sauna.

Eyestrain is getting more and more common with our long use of computers. After a day at the office, put on the FreezeFrames and drive home while your eyes are getting a cooling treatment. So, the glasses are beneficial after working on your computer. When you leave your desk to walk down the street for cup of a coffee or out to the food truck, wear the glasses and no one will know that you are treating and comforting your eyes.

These sunglasses were invented by a nurse who saw the need for patients to have cool compression on their eyes but still needed to be upright. The FreezeFrames come with one pair of sunglasses, four reusable gel pads, a freezer pouch in which to store the pads while in the freezer, and one thermal travel case as an introductory bonus. They are available exclusively online at their website. They are for ages 8+.

With both the animated movie as well as the new live action film, Beauty and the Beast has wowed generations of viewers. Belle is a Disney princess that is beloved by girls and women. As a matter of fact, the yellow Belle ball dress is the most popular costume from the Disney Store, attendees at the 2017 D23 Expo recently learned.

Paige O’Hara voiced the original Belle in the 1991 movie. She told the D23 Expo guests “Belle was ahead of her time.” She is “smart, intelligent, and a bookworm.” O’Hara was proud of her onscreen princess, who gave up her life for her father without hesitation. “She was noble.”

Emma Watson’s newest Belle is just as noble in this year’s live action film. For a brief snippet, audiences saw Belle as a baby. The newest doll from the Disney Store is Baby Belle, based on that brief moment in the film.

Baby Belle is adorable. She wears the famous yellow dress and has a rose rattle which her hand can actually hold. The rattle does not make any sound, however. And with her other hand she can suck her thumb.

Baby Belle’s expression is nothing short of sweet. With her open mouth and wide brown eyes, she is an adorable little doll. With shiny long brown hair, details on her dress, and a toe that sticks up like a real baby, Belle is sure to be loved by little girls.

Belle is 12 inches high although her legs are bent so she can actually sit on the edge of a shelf without falling over. She is also able to sit on a table. Baby Belle has a soft body but her head, hands, and legs are made of hard plastic. She’s a sturdy little doll that can stand the test of time, and hundreds of hugs.

Baby Belle is made to be loved and cuddled. She is for ages 2 and up.

Belle is a princess that inspires and endears herself to young and old. This new Baby Belle doll is perfect for the little princess in your life.

Baby Belle lists for $22.95 and can be purchased from the Disney Store and the Disney Store website.
