These Natural Gemstone Tea lights are great for your living room area. With each of these gemstones there is a well or hole in the center that will hold one tea light. Plus these stones have a symbolic meaning and each have a specific healing quality. They are from different types of translucent quartz that is mined in South America, famous for its Gems. The Agate gemstone is thought to provide strength and protection from stress while the Rose Quartz is said to promote love, balance and healing. It’s also important to remember that these stones will vary in size and color as they are naturally occurring stones. They normally retail for $9.95, but we’ve have marked them down to only $7.95. Get them while they are still in stock.

The dreaded New Year’s Resolution and the hope you will achieve it. I think the problem is when you make a long unrealistic list which makes it too hard to get it all done. Keep it simple, maybe only one or two things on the list, you can always add to it later. I know the main one is usually to loose weight. Again, keep it simple- stick with the 2 main ways to make this happen, good nutrition and exercise. The Weight Watchers® Cookbook allows you to have incredible food every night and still lose the pounds. Craving Chinese, Mexican, Thai or even Japenese for dinner? No problem, and no need to worry about the calories! This book serves up more than 150 recipes based on Weight Watchers® FlexPoints® Weight Loss System and only for $8.95.
Secondly comes the exercise and for the ones looking to keep this simple- try the Body Togs® Wearable Workouts; turns everyday activities into fat burning workouts. If you want to lose weight or stay in shape yet don’t like to exercise, this is the breakthrough product you’ve been waiting for. Body Togs® enhance your daily caloric burn by adding a small amount of anatomically correct weight to your legs and arms. These innovative weighted sleeves for the arms and calves can be worn discreetly under everyday clothing. Wearing Body Togs® for 10 hours a day has been scientifically proven to have an effect similar to a 2-mile run. Good Luck!

I was looking at the best sellers in our catalogs and came across the Mickey Mouse childrens books. These have been flying out of the warehouse ever since they were displayed in our catalog. It is easy to see why as these books come in a set of 12 and have 10 thick pages each and over 3″ wide, which makes it very easy for toddlers to turn and look at the pages. Best of all we also have these in the Disney Pixar Cars series along with Disney Clasicas like The Little Mermaid for example. Each set of 12 is a ridiculously low $8.95.
