Homedics BL-300 JetSpa Footbath Review

Homedics BL-300 JetSpa Footbath
Average Reviews:

I spend at least 8 hours plus on my feet at work and when I come home I enjoy a nice soak. So I thought to treat myself to a foot spa instead of a plain old pail of water.
Yes, this is a fairly quiet footspa, but it is not worth the time nor the money. Please let me tell you why:
The bubbles cause major heat loss and not much benefit as far as a massaging action for my poor feet. I put hot hot water in, and within 5 minutes that water is COLD. Almost colder than if I had it in a plain ol' PAIL of WATER.
I can't use soap or any other type of treatment or additive to the water because it might clog the bubble jets or bubble up to overflow the edge and make a mess. My pail of water doesn't mind any sort of additives.
The fancy shmancy spinning disc thingy only works when held down at just exactly halfway. Too high? Nope, no spinning. Pushed all the way down? Nope, no spinning. Only when my foot is held at juuust the right angle and juuuust the right pressure I get the wonderful benefit of the brush or the pumice or the littly spinny balls.
You know, I'm not sure what the brush is supposed to do for me. Clean my feet? My feet are pretty clean already, and anyway the brush is only able to clean the soles of my feet in any thorough way, just because of the angles involved. The foot tops and toenails get no love.
But it doesn't matter, because I burnt out the motor on the pedicure spinny thingy within 3 days. It doesn't turn anymore, no matter how hard or how lightly I press. So I'm back to just the bubbler and the tepid water.
The bubbler feels nice, but if I place my feet flat on the bottom of the footspa it seems to block or diminish the bubbles, causing me to want to raise up my legs and let the bubbles be free. Also causing me to wonder why I'm trying so hard to enjoy something that is supposed to help me relax.
My handheld pumice, my husband (The Massage Master) and my pail of water are all far better than this contraption, which to me is simply a $40 stupid tax.

Earth Therapeutics Softouch Complexion Brush Review

Earth Therapeutics Softouch Complexion Brush
Average Reviews:

I loved this brush when I bought the first one. I would use it on my face in the shower, it is very gentle. One day when I was using it though it just fell to pieces and crashed to the floor. It felt like glass going into my face. I knew I had dropped it before and thought that maybe it had a hairline crack and this caused the breakage. So I bought a new one to replace it, the exact same thing happened with this one after just 2 weeks. I contacted Earth Therapeutics and told them what had happened and asked for a replacement brush, since I had already purchased 2 in a matter of a few months. They just responded that they would pass the information onto their Research Department. The next time I was in Mom's, the store where I purchased the brushes I informed them of my experience and they said they would discontinue carrying the product. Whether they did or not, I don't know. I know I will never buy another Earth Therapeutics product in my life. It's not fun having what feels like pieces of glass break apart in your face when your cleaning it!

Fantasea Facial Cleansing Sponge * 12 Per Package Review

This is a great little sponge for travel or just to sit by your sink to grab and wash your face with -- and just the right size. There are 12 in the pack so I gave them to friends as well. They dry out quickly which avoids germs but I still recommend changing out to a new one often.
