NEW merchandise

I have a photo to share and would like you all to guess what you're looking at.

The photo depicts an image of NEW merchandise that is available for Honie's Little Shop.

What's your guess??

Ultimate Body Applicator

I know there are several of you out there that not only question how the applicator works but also want to know what it looks like and how to wrap. So here I am to give you an overview of the ultimate body applicator.

The photos you are about to see are ME! I'm bearing all to show you just what it looks like on a body and will share the results over the course of the next 72hrs.

First things first. For those that might not know about the ultimate body applicator. It is a non-woven cloth wrap that is infused with an all natural botanical formula. The formula is absorbed into your skin to help tighten, tone and firm in 45 minutes while detoxifying your body.

BY THE WAY, just thought I'd share.. I'm wearing one RIGHT NOW as I sit in the comfort of my own home typing this out.

One very IMPORTANT thing to know about the ultimate body applicator is that it is NOT like the wraps you will find in salons. It is NOT a water loss wrap. The results that you have from the wraps last any where from 2-6 months without any change to your daily activities or your diet. However, the results CAN be permanent if you do make those healthy lifestyle changes.

You can get the ultimate body applicators directly from my site.

You place it almost ANYWHERE on your body; your back, arms, belly, love handles, legs and even your feet. Wear it for a MINIMUM of 45 minutes and as long as 8 hours if you'd like. Heck, you could go to bed with it on if you wanted or wear it to work!

Once taken off the wrap will continue to work for up to 72hrs. You should drink at least half of your body weight in ounces of water EACH day. So for 3 days if you weighed 200lbs you would want to drink at least 100 ounces of water.

As a loyal customer you get a package of 4 wraps for $59.00. Being a loyal customer is awesome because you not only save up to 45% on products but you earn perk points while you shop, which can be redeemed for future products. You could essentially get FREE products.

Another benefit of being a loyal customer is FREE shipping after 3 months on auto ship or if you order is $125 or more. Not to mention you get the Fit Works program ($59 value) FREE!

Don't worry those that aren't loyal customers can order too. However, the cost of the 4 wraps would be $99.00. Honestly, $99 is a bit of money, however, I assure you they are totally worth it and they're less expensive than what you would pay in a salon for ONE wrap that you would then have to take time out of your day in order to do. Not to mention you'd be required to undress (to a certain degree) in order for someone else to apply it.

I personally LOVE that I can do these wraps in the comfort of my own home and I don't have to undress for anyone. If I chose to leave my house with it on, I could totally do that. I could do household chores, go grocery shopping or even take a walk with my children. You can't do that with the salon wraps.

Now what you all have been waiting for... PICTURES!!

First photo is of the wrap itself. The left image is what it looks like once you've taken it out of the packaging. The second photo is just a glimpse at the formula on the wrap once its opened. *It does NOT show the full size of the wrap which is 11X22 inches.

This photo below shows images of me before placing the wrap on. Image on the top left is a view of me standing straight in front of the camera. While the image on the top right is a side view. Both bottom images are the same as the top, except that I'm wearing the wrap. I wanted to show how big of an area it covered.

This image here shows what it looks like when you're all wrapped up in plastic wrap. The "lines" are where I twisted the plastic wrap to help keep it on as I didn't want to spend time adjusting it and fixing it.

Check back later to see the transformation after 72hrs.

**while I don't mind you subscribing to get an email each time a new post is made (which I recommend even if it is just for the giveaways) it doesn't count for an entry as I can't confirm you're a follower. Please use the GOOGLE follow.

Winner will be announced Jan 1st-5th, 2012 and have 48 hours to contact me.

I apologize for the poor photo quality, it is a product of my cell phone. I'm hoping in the future to have a better source for taking photos. Until then, it will just have to do.

Water, water everywhere...

I am challenging myself to drink at least five 16oz glasses of water a day for the month of December.

After talking with my friend Christina that does Redmond Healthier Me and has lost over 50 lbs herself (not just by drinking water of course) since January. I'm thinking its time to make a change.

Not to mention I heard one of the trainers from The Biggest Loser talk about how important water is and how it is necessary for your body and can help with your skin.

I figure its good for me, I might as well consume more, it isn't as if it is going to hurt me. Another benefit is that it is important to drink water when using the ultimate body applicator. Which I will be using once a week.

I will be taking a photo tomorrow when my husband is home as a before photo. I will then take a photo once a week. I will continue to eat as I have been, which isn't healthy to say the least.

If you would like to join me feel free! You might be surprised at what water can do for you!

Thanksgiving = long car ride

Our yearly Thanksgiving tradition involves going up to WA to spend it with my brother, his wife, their baby and my mom. We reside in OR so it is at least 7hrs if not more depending on the traffic and the weather.

Thankfully most of the trip is on the freeway which means you can go a little faster than if it was on the highway. However, the traffic and the weather play a big part in being able to go the speed limit, regardless of what type of road you're on of course.

This trip up to WA was thankfully dry for the most part, no snow or ice like last year. Traffic wasn't too bad on the way up there as we had left our house at about midnight Wednesday morning.

The trip on the way home was another story. Not because of the weather. Not because of the traffic... but because of our daughter. She was NOT happy about how long the trip was taking as we had left just after noon on Saturday. She was awake as she doesn't take naps.

She repeatedly asked, "Why is it taking so long?". She also kept saying, "This trip takes too long.".

Try explaining to a 3 year old how long a trip takes when it is over 300 miles from your house. It doesn't happen.

We even have a DVD player in our Denali. Brought along ALL of the kids' movies so they could watch whatever they wanted. The DVD player was no match for her.

I guess its a good thing we don't normally take long trips!
