I am glistening (that’s classy girl lingo for “sweaty”). It took me 45 minutes of pumping a tiny little air pump to get my new yoga exercise ball inflated. Although this would be considered an inconvenience for most products, it seems like a good sales point for a piece of exercise equipment. The marketing team behind this ball should really be taking advantage of this. Instead of saying it comes with an easy to use foot pump”they should point out the rigorous leg work out you’ll receive before you even begin to use the product.

My air pump induced sweat is not the only source of my glisten this evening. I recently switched to a new body wash, OLAY Radiance Ribbons. By “radiance” they mean “glitter”. I came out of the shower feeling like a twelve-year-old girl covered in glitter. The label boasts, “helps recover a more youthful glow”. Well folks, they were not kidding here. I feel more youthful than ever.
