Chief Blonde Remarks: Are you sick of your bangle not fitting? Too small? Too big? I like the fact they come in different sizes to fit your wrist! The 3 different styles retail for $16 for solid and $18 for marbleized, for the Slim and Samba styles and $20 for solid and $22 for marbleized in Bold. www.mangotreebangles.com I like all the wild colors that the bracelets come in–Mellow Yellow, Luminous Lime, and Mother Earth.

The Mango Tree wood is a unique type of wood grain from the actual Mango Tree that creates the unique color variation.

Stocking Stuffer Item: Orabrush, the Tongue Cleaner
Stocking Stuffer Details:
Problem:90% of bad breath comes from a dirty tongue.
Solution:Orabrush is the world’s best tongue cleaner.
Ultra-soft, pointed bristles reach deep into the uneven crevices of your tongue and loosen stinky bacteria. These bristles are designed after the surgeon’s scrub brush, the same brush they use to clean bacteria from their hands before they cut you open. (Toothbrush bristles, however, are designed for the smooth surfaces of your teeth, not your tongue.) The scraper then collects and removes the bacteria and residue generated from brushing, helping cure bad breath. $7.99 from Orabrush.com
Super Interesting Side Story: One of the most remarkable stories to emerge from the accelerating social media revolution, Orabrush was the world’s first company to feature the tagline “As Seen on YouTube” in its marketing materials. The company has attracted more than 29 million YouTube channel views and well over 265,000 Facebook fans since the company’s flagship tongue cleaner product was launched on YouTube in late 2009. As of October 31, more than 1 million Orabrush units had been sold over the Internet, and the company has established a large and growing worldwide retail distributor network.
