Gabrielle Blair, also known as Design Mom, is the queen of blogging. Let's just say I might have done a happy dance when she agreed to guest post this week (my boys were wondering what got into their mom)! She has been so kind and wonderful to work with, especially considering she is due any day now with baby number 6. Can I please have her figure when I'm expecting number 6? Gabrielle is a designer who shares her awesome finds and ideas with the world via her blog. One of the things I love about Gabrielle is that she keeps it real. No false pretenses and she even admits to staying in her PJ's during the day...glad I'm not the only one! Better Homes & Garden named her Blogger of the Month for their March 2010 issue. Check out the rest of her press articles and interviews HERE.
Well Hello Make-You-Over Readers!
Gabrielle of Design Mom here. So nice to meet you. Chelsea asked me to write about one of my favorite Mother's Day gift ideas. And she asked me to think of an item with a price point under $100. But I'm cheating. The product I wanted to tell you about is $149. But. It is awesome. So if you can splurge, put this on your list.
It's called Clarisonic. And basically, it's a motorized scrub brush for your face. Friends. I have been using this for about 2 years now and I'm addicted. Nothing else comes close to getting my face as clean. It's like a mini-facial every single day. A few things I love about it (and I swear, I'm not being paid to say any of this):
- It comes with a charger and the charge works for about 30 days. Which is fantastic. It means I don't have to charge it very often and when I travel, I don't have to pack the charger.
- You can use it in the shower. That's where I keep mine -- and now, washing my face is just an easy part of my morning routine.
- Sometimes I add a smidge of face cleanser to the scrub brush. Sometimes I use it alone. It works well in both cases.
- The scrub brush pauses at certain intervals so that I know it's time to move to another area of my face. Great for me -- because I get easily distracted.
I'm telling you, I used to have to purge my pores constantly, but no more. And my moisturizer goes on so smoothly. You will love it. I promise. I think I might even get one for Ben Blair for Father's Day.
P.S. -- I use the Clarisonic Plus. But really, I only ever use one speed. If I was buying now, I would go with the Mia — I like the yellow!
kisses,
Gabrielle (http://designmom.com)
***After reading Gabby's post, I knew I needed to get Clarisonic in on a giveaway. I did some work (what, you thought all of this just fell into my lap?) and Clarisonic was happy to oblige my request!

Not only that, but they are sending me one too, so that I can try it out for myself and tell you all how much I love it--I already know I will love it!

I never win these things, but it never hurts to try, right?
This little tool sounds fantastic!
I am awlways looking for something that cleans my face well...

A mini-facial?! Be still my soul! I'm in!
I'd like to try this. I'm in.
Yes, I'll take one of those.
Maybe I would wash my face more frequently. But if I kept it in the shower, I still wouldn't wash my face on the days when I stay in my pajamas all day . . .
OMG. I have been yearning and yearning and yearning for this product. I never understood why people think only teenagers get pimples - let me tell you my complexion is living proof that giveway would be a lifesaver!
Wow, this sounds wonderful. Since I'm going a second puberty on my face it would be so helpful.

What a wonderful Mothers Day gift. I found your blog from Design Mom... already added to my Favorites.

my pores soooo need this!
Oooh!! I've been wanting one of those for ages (but the pricetag honestly scares me!!) My "maturing" skin could certainly use it, though!! Thanks for the chance!
Still have acne even though I've got wrinkles. Looks great
man i want one
pick me!
ooh, my pores need this!!!
This looks amazing!
I've heard how great these are and would LOVE one for myself! THANKS!
I and my pores would be forever grateful.
Nothing like a good clean face. Thanks for the giveaway.
Looks awesome. My face is already thanking you!
As a recently turned 40-something I am screaming, "Pick me! Pick me!".
this is exactly what in need for my "texture-y" face that i wash with "a product that was made for feet" ..or so the rep at Nordstrom told me :)
oh my, i was just drooling over these at sephora yesterday. it must be fate. ;)
After an awfully cold winter and a spring heat wave that made my skin into an oil slick, I'd love to try this. I'll bet it's less messy than the baking soda scrubs I use each month.
Wow. This sounds fantastic!!
this would be wonderful! ps thanks for all the Family Tree love!
OMG! I am so excited for this contest! I hope I win! I have only heard amazing things about the Clarisonic!
This would be awesome! After my daughter was born, my skin just wigged out. Plus the pollution here is awful - my pores need serious help.
Thanks!
Wow, looks great!
Oh, my skin could SO use this.
Oooo, my skin definitely needs some TLC!
