Kekeluv In The Morning and Michelle Heart’s Favorite Things

A powerful tablet doesn’t have to cost you an arm and leg this holiday season. Amazon’s best selling Kindle Fire HD has evolved into the new Amazon Fire HD 6.  For just $99, the small tablet can be used in one hand or by tiny hands if you’re sharing with the kids.  It's thinner and lighter than previous generations, features Gorilla Glass to make it ultra durable and lets you capture all the important moments with it's front and rear facing cameras. According to CNET, it’s smooth performance and operating system features make it the unrivaled champion of bargain tablets this holiday season.

Think of how much make-up, sweat and age-accelerating pollutants your face comes in contact with everyday. Think that a washcloth alone is enough to get all of that junk out of your pores?  It’s time to step up your skincare routine and go sonic with the Clarisonic Mia2.  The professional quality, two speed skincare brush gets rid of those impurities in just 60 seconds, leaving your pores open for creams and moisturizers to do their thing.  Using it daily will leave with softer skin, less dry patches and fewer blemishes.  Plus it comes with a carrying case so you can take it on a weekend get away or extended Christmas visit with the family.

The new GoPro lets you capture those epic moments up at Bogus Basin, on the Boise River, mountain biking in the foothills or wherever your journey takes you!  Its water proof, allows you to shoot both video and still photos and intelligently changes its frame rates when you move between bright and dark locations.  Customers say that it’s easy enough for someone new to the GoPro family to take out of the box and begin using right away!

Michelle Heart doesn’t know how she used to live before discovering the magic of controlling her playlists through Bluetooth.  That’s why the JBL Pulse makes our list of favorite things.  The Pulse is more than your average speaker.  It brings life to your music with its glowing, multi-colored light party!  Just connect your smart device, push play and watch the pre-programmed light themes astound your guests.  Plus with the name JBL attached to it, you know this powerful little speaker will bring you quality sound every time you use it.

There’s nothing worse than having to carry a clutch and your phone when you hit Downtown Boise for a night with friends.  You most likely don’t want to carry an entire purse into the club with you either.  That’s why this little purse wallet for the iPhone 4s, 5 and 5s or Galaxy S2 and S3 is the perfect solution.  It gives you enough room to store cash, coins, plastic and your smart phone.   It also has a side gap so that you can charge your phone without having to take it out of the wallet.

Life changing.  That’s the only way to describe blogger Mandy Hale’s series of “The Single Woman” books.  When all your friends are in relationships, getting engaged or walking down the aisle being single can seems like more of a stigma than something to celebrate.  Plus, if you’re going through a breakup it’s easy to tune out the advice of your friends if it’s not what you want to hear.  Mandy changes that all by sharing her wisdom with a sense of humor that makes it easy to digest without feeling preachy or condescending.  If you’re struggling with being single or letting go and moving on from someone, these, quick fun to read books are a must!

When Michelle Heart saw this Flat Iron on Amazon discounted from $199.99 to just $39 she thought it was too good to be true but with over 6,000 five star customers reviews she ordered as a back up to her Chi Flat Iron that was damaged by the TSA during a trip home for Christmas.  Sure enough the Chi eventually bit the dust and she started using this one on a daily basis.  With adjustable temperatures from 240 to 410 degrees Fahrenheit (a feature the more expensive Chi didn’t have) it’s the perfect iron for any hair type. Plus, at 1 inch wide its great for smoothing out frizzy hair or curling your bangs!

But, hey sometimes you don’t want straight hair right?  You want beautiful, bouncy curls.  Ladies, you know how hard it is to create an entire head of those.  The Conair Infiniti Pro Curl Secret takes care of that for you.  Reaching 400 degrees inside the curl chamber it reduces frizz and gives you long lasting curls.  Plus, it’s got a safety sensor to insure that your hair never gets tangled.

ast year it seemed like almost every store that carried Beats By Dre headphones was running a Black Friday special on these headphones.  This year’s model has been upgraded to look more like Dre’s “Studio Headphones:” streamlined, lightweight and comfortable to wear wherever you want to take them.  Available in six colors, these headphones also let you change songs with the RemoteTalk cable as well as change songs, adjust the volume and take calls.

If you’ve watched any of NBC’s The Voice this year, you know that Gwen Stefani is involved with 10+ other projects outside her music career.  That includes this adorable new fragrance set sold through HSN.  The complete set comes with five little Harajuku dolls, each filled with a difference fragrance like Love, Lil’ Angel, Music, Baby and G.  The gift set is perfect for someone who can’t pick their one signature scent or likes to layer fragrances.

One of the greatest things about the Keurig brewing machines is that they make it super easy to make each person in the home their favorite brew of coffee but sometimes you just want to put out a big pot for everyone to share.  Meet Keurig 2.0.  It allows you to brew those single cups as well as a 4-cup carafe to share with friends.  The new machine even features separate settings for hot cocoa and other specialty beverages like lattes and mochas.

Michelle Heart has struggled with acne forever.  She's one of those people that's tried every product on the market and nothing has worked until she stumbled upon this little tub at Walgreens.  Not only did it help keep her monthly breakouts at bay, it left her skin smoother.  The only thing she really loves about it is the fact that using it for 5 minutes before she puts on her make-up really does make a difference in how oily her face gets throughout the day.
