Trust me on this one. Do you see that small, light pink device? That is the first Foreo Cleansing Tool I purchased. I originally just wanted something for my travel bag. As much as I love my clarisonic brush, I was traveling a lot and it took up too much space in my skincare travel bag. Not to mention that I would often forget to pack it.

During those months when I travel frequently, I prepare a cosmetic and skincare bag that contains everything I need. I don’t have to worry about taking things out when I get home or looking for the closest drugstore because I forgot mascara….again! (this has happened to me three times!)

I purchased the Foreo Luna Play to keep in my designated travel bag. The device isn’t rechargeable but is supposed to last about 100 uses. I’ve had mine for about 8 months and it is still going. I only use it when I travel, but a pretty good deal for $39.

Do you listen to any podcasts? If so, is Oprah’s SuperSoul Conversations on your playlist? I love the one featuring Maria Shriver. I walked an extra 20 minutes, just so I could listen to both parts of the podcast. When I got home, I ordered Maria’s book “I’ve Been Thinking…” and patiently waited for it to arrive.

I enjoy listening to podcasts during my daily walks. The genres are always different and usually dictated by my ‘mood of the day’. On this particular weekend I was craving Oprah’s gift for getting deep in conversation with her guests. Her unique talent for reaching authenticity with every person she interviews. With Maria Shriver, it seemed a bit different. These two women are friends. And in this podcast Oprah and Maria allowed the listener to join two kindred spirits sharing thoughts of love, forgiveness, and the quest for a meaningful life. The conversation left me craving more. I hoped Maria’s book would feel like a continuation of those reflected thoughts.

Well….let me say…I finished the book in 2 days. And it did not disappoint.
