I got on board the water drinking wagon a while ago when I received a water filtration pitcher to test out.  Unfortunately the filter that came with it, didn’t achieve its water expectancy.  Then I fell off the wagon.  When I accepted a challenge a few weeks ago, to drink plenty of water to see how it affected my skin’s hydration, I knew it was time to also break out the Water Wand I received to review.

Thanksgiving is over and the ‘official’ holiday season has begun (I know I started about a month early decorating the blog!), and now you have to think about your holiday wardrobe.  Between school parties, and work dinners, church events and family reunions, the gatherings sometimes seem endless.  Sometimes you wear dressy other times casual, and do you switch the purse each time, or just use the same one?

My advice would be to pick yourself up a Reverse-A-Purse, one accessory with multiple fashion options, and perfect for all the activities you need to attend and then some.
