The Pico Arm Chair Telescoping Director's Chair. This is a must for anyone into Camping,Boating,Watching Sports,Tailgating. I own this chair and love it. I am a soccer mom of three athletic kids. I am always sitting at games. This chair is designed to fold up to laptop size. I love the compartments, the bag you can attach to the back for you magazines extra drinks anything. I have to tell you. I watch all the parents on the side line struggling trying to get that big fold up chair out of their bags.. Then when they sit, it's like they cave into the chair and they look so uncomfortable..I think The Pico is the way to go. Let's put comfort back in sitting. This makes for an amazing gift.. This company is run by two young entrepreneurs who are always scrambling and creating the next best thing for the outdoor market. Check out the rest of their products from canoe and kayak seats to camping stools. Get one in time for the holidays. GCIOUTDOOR

Hi Friends,Two years ago, ovarian cancer was not even on my radar.


I live in the Bay Area where we have one of the highest rates of breast cancer in the nation and I've lost girlfriends my age to the disease. Active, radiant, lively young women at whom I've smiled countless times across a sea of purple mats in downward dog. Women who might be alive today if breast cancer had just been on their radar.Ovarian cancer is the new breast cancer and I certainly don't mean that in a fashion sense. Like breast cancer was in the early 80's, ovarian cancer today is somewhat of a mystery to us all. We've heard of it, we know we don't want it, we know it's killing women every day...and yet most of us can't name a single symptom to be aware of. In other words, it flies under our radar.Action starts with awareness. How much DO you really know about ovarian cancer?






Special promotion for September!
20% off the Hera Necklace
The HERA Lotus necklace hangs a sterling silver or gold lotus flower just above the heart, symbolizing a woman's strength and ability to rise from adversity. The necklace, which is accompanied by an ovarian cancer symptoms card, does more than just raise awareness, but also seeks to honor the strength of women who have had or are currently battling the disease.

Signs and Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer
Abdominal pressure, bloating, or discomfort
Nausea, indigestion, or gas
Urinary frequency, constipation, or diarrhea
Unusual fatigue
Unexplained weight loss or gain
Shortness of breath
This year, one in 57 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
IF DETECTED EARLY, 90% WILL SURVIVE.
Spreading the word: women gather together at a Hera Climb for Life Event
Unlike the Pap smear for cervical cancer or the mammogram for breast cancer, there is no reliable early detection method for ovarian cancer. Consequently over 75 percent of women with ovarian cancer have already had it spread by the time it is diagnosed. But that can change...
BE THE CHANGE.
This month, I raise a glass of something delicious to women and all of the men who love us. To our awareness and enduring good health...clink, clink!Thank you for your business and friendship.


Be well,

Happy Monday!

Well a start to a new week. Products are coming in and I am getting ready to put together my up and coming Giveaways. So on your end I want feedback. If you have seen the products or owned a product from the company on Review. I would love to hear what you have to say. I have said it before Us women are the main spenders and we want to buy good things for ourselves and our families.. I chose only the best to write about.. I look for quality,uniqueness,Taste (Yes, I'll try and write about food) and just all out fun. I want you all to be my Fab Friends so make sure you sign in and leave the rest to me..You will be up on the new items every time they are added.

To go off the subject a little well actually a lot but it still has to do with product and shopping.. How is it that we now look at pounds and shelters to get our pet for our family but we still buy new cars? What about buying used cars? Women are smart consumers.. Why would we want something that depreciates the minute you drive it away from the dealership. When we buy clothes they don't loose value right. When we buy anything for that matter they don't lose it's value. So why cars??? I'm stumped. There truly are amazing used cars out there that may only be a couple years old and have low miles. I think this is the way to go. I always bought a car that was only two years old probably only 24,000 miles on it.. They are great. I still do my blue book research and consumer reports to get the low down but I have always been happy. So keep getting your pets at the shelters and pounds.. But keep in mind of the used car dealerships they too have cars that need homes,need to be driven.. Just a little thought I had after reading my home page this morning and read
The Top 10 Greenest Used Cars so check it out it might change the way you buy cars.. And to answer any of your questions NO,I don't know anyone in the car business I promise.. I just found it interesting.. Everything goes back to what I was saying in the beginning finding the Best,finding what would suit you and your family.. Leave me a comment.. Enjoy The day!
