If you know me, then you will know that I utterly adore HoMedics. HoMedics is the innovative leader in self-care, wellness and personal health products and offers an extensive line of personal wellness items designed to restore the balance between mind, body and soul. I have sampled many of their products and have yet to come across something in which I don’t like! Any product from their ranges would make fantastic gifts for many. But this review is for the ladies!
Every woman like to look and feel wonderful. It puts a smile on our faces and makes us happy. If you know a woman who likes to look her gorgeous best and loves a bit of home pampering, these product from the new MySpa range at HoMedics would make the prefect gifts for her. They’re all designed with beauty and ease in mind, but offer something a bit different to the usual nail polishes and face creams.
The MySpa Heavenly Heel Smoother (£19.99) works like a dream. It has been made for hard-working feet that need a bit of extra-special attention. I was delighted to receive this to try out, as my feet were in bad need of it! After using the Heavenly Heel Smoother, I was most impressed with the outcome. With diamond-coated pumice stones for heels and soles, and smaller stones for toes, plus a finishing brush, its powerful motor will get to work and leave your feet baby soft and smooth. This would be great to fit in her stocking this Christmas.
Now for those ladies, who like myself, enjoy nothing more than a nice hot relaxing bath in the evenings. The MySpa Vibration Bath Pillow (£29.99) would make an ideal gift. Simply use the suction pads to attach it to the bath – place it behind your neck or upper back for ultimate relaxation. It will vibrate gently to give you a super-calming massage. Wow is all I can say! When I first used this, I think I had the longest bath ever! It really is so relaxing and works beautifully. Even though its battery operated, it’s quite safe to use in the bath.

Well, Christmas is only weeks away, and it should be the time to get your stores of food and drink in preparation for the festive celebrations. So, if you’re looking for bubbles to serve at your Christmas party/celebration but don’t want to break the bank, then this Cono Sur Sparkling Brut will more than do the job!
A lot of people find it difficult to purchase a good champagne, simply because most of the time it’s just too darn expensive! Finding a sparkling wine that is truly bubbly and joyful is always great. It offers us a great alternative to traditional French Champagne. It tastes totally delicious! The Cono Sparkling Brut is juicy, crisp and refreshing, making it the perfect complement to canapés at a festive drinks reception. Or, if you’re like me, it makes for a wonderful tipple at home after a hectic week at work! Well, at a price of £9.99, why not!
Cono Sur says:-
“It combines the classic and traditional variety Chardonnay with Riesling and Pinot Noir, which not only contribute in acidity and structure, but also reflect Cono Sur’s fresh and modern approach to winemaking. It’s a lively and radiant sparkling wine, whose aromas reveal great expression of fresh fruit, mingled in with the complexity and elegance of honey, white flowers, and notes of yeast. A fresh palate, with good acidity, balance and complexity, displays an extremely elegant and delicate brut.”
So, if you’re on a budget or just appreciate a good sparkling wine, then the Cono Sur Sparkling is perfect. Check out wwww.conosurgreencooks.com for more information.
