Darphynia's Diary

Some things should be kept private, but this is an exception.  Until recently, there wasn't much talk on what we experience during periods.  "Aunt Flo(w)", "rag", "The Red Tide", call it what you will...nobody likes periods.  Okay, maybe they are, in general, a relief to get at times, but overall, they suck.  I, personally, experience low back pain and a sore chest.  There are times when my back hurts so much that even laying down is uncomfortable.  My chest swells and is so sore that it hurts to just take a shower or wear a bra (so glad they have padded sports bras now!).  I will never forget an experience I had one night at Disneyland.  My "twister" and I were walking towards the Jungle Cruise.  It was quite crowded, and this guy next to me was talking to his girlfriend.  He said something to her and stretched out his arm, whacking my right in the chest.  I grabbed my chest and thought I was going to pass out...He looked over...

Foreo Luna Mini.  Image courtesy of foreo.com No, you're not seeing double.  I did a short review that wasn't really a review, of the Luna mini , awhile back.  I had not yet purchased the Luna Mini, but did shortly after.  During CES 2013, I happened upon the Foreo booth.  My first thought was that it was some kind of pleasure object.  It was around other booths that fit that genre, the items are made from silicone, and they vibrate.  As I was talking to one of their representatives, I was informed that it was a new way to clean your face.  I am an avid Clarisonic user, and have said so from the beginning, but I thought I would give this a try.  I like that it is made of silicone, and that it has a non-porous surface.  Sorry the photo quality isn't the greatest.  Under the device is the USB cable & Authenticity card. The package comes with the Luna Mini, USB cable, User Guide, and Authenticity Card.  It is impo...

I must preface this post by stating that I have not used any of FOREO's products.  This post will be bases solely on my experience with the demo from CES 2013/14, so I would love any feedback from those of you who have used anything from the company. Image courtesy of FOREO At CES 2013 I, quite randomly, came upon the FOREO booth.  It was tucked away at the back of one of the halls.  The representative explained that the Luna is the device to have, especially if your skin is too sensitive for the Clarisonic.  It is made of silicone, which is gentler on the skin.  They had demos, so when she handed it too me, I tried it on my hand.  It, literally, felt like a vibrator for the face (which is frequently noted in the comments)... I could understand the cleansing concept.  The Luna pulses to gently clean the skin and unclog pores.  Because of he material used, it is also said to be more hygienic, durable, and won't cost extra money since there...
