Production Recommendation: Shobha Ingrown Relief Lotion

For those of you who aren't familiar, Shobha is a well known hair removal salon in the city. They have three locations - Columbus Circle, Madison and Soho. One of my good friends swears by this place!

The same friend is also a fan of Shobha's Ingrown Relief Lotion. It helps prevent and treat bumps and ingrown hairs caused by hair removal using glycolic acid (exfoliates), tea tree oil (protects), chamomile (soothes), glycerin (moisturizes). I recently got a sample and I can attest that it's gentle on sensitive skin. Free of parabens, color and artificial fragrance, it's safe for all-over body use including your face!

The lotion retails for $22. With your exclusive Sugar Rock Catwalk code 0709IRL510 you can get $5 off! And one bottle will last you forever!

Just enter the discount code at checkout on myshobha.com. Discount code is valid for online purchases only and one redemption per customer. Offer expires at 12am EST 8/1/09.

Product Recommendation: Preserve Toothbrush

Hopefully on your list of new year's resolutions is a line about being more eco-friendly and green. You're in luck because my latest obsession is recycled plastic. Read that recycled, not recyclable. Recycled is better than recyclable because it's using material that has already been produced and would have otherwise ended up in a landfill.

The next time you need to grab a toothbrush, consider Preserve. The toothbrush is made from Stonyfield Farm yogurt cups and the packaging is printed on recycled paper with soy-based inks. And the eco-friendliness doesn't stop there. Once you're done with your toothbrush, you can mail it in using a postage-paid label to be re-processed into plastic lumber for picnic tables, boardwalks and decks.

Don't worry, Preserve toothbrushes aren't one of those hippy products where you feel like you're sacrificing something. The curved handle and soft bristles are awesome! Preserve is also affordable. You can find them at Target or your local drugstore for just a couple bucks!

Stay cute. Stay fresh and remember to replace your toothbrush every three months.
