Haven't ever used this but know someone that uses the electric shock one and says it works. I also heard that excersizing the muscles will make more wrinkles...botox relaxes the muscle so maybe there is some truth to that. My guess is it's more gimmick than not, but I don't have any facts to support that, just my own feeling.

We have a local pediatrician that does di-chro jewelry. He wears pins and stuff everyday at work and has given lots of it to his nurses and receptionists, who also wear it frequently. He gets lots of questions about the jewelry, and people always want to know where he gets it (most of what he wears is very whimsical). Several years ago he began to have an open house at his own home in early December to sell his jewelry (he and his daughter make it all). They invited their co-workers and friends and just served cookies, crackers, cheese, and punch. They told everyone to bring friends. Every year it has grown and last year they probably had a few hundred people go through their doors. I love his stuff and do lots of gift buying there every year, buying about 20 pieces per year. They now have picture frames, serving utensils, sculptures, and lots of jewelry priced mostly from $10-100, but some a little more. People get there early, waiting outside, to get first pick of everything. Most everyone there purchases at least $100 or more. I get compliments on his jewelry all year long and tell people where it comes from and they ask how they can get invited to this "exclusive" party. I just tell them to call his clinic and they will give them the date and time.

I don't think the salty water will be good for the plants buti could be wrong.....

Smiling is the best facial exercise you can get. When I went through a sad time, my face drooped. Really! I had to consciously smile like an idiot all day to get my facial tone back. You've heard the expression...."By the time you reach middle age...you've earned your face". It's true! I do use facial message to wash my face and apply moisturizers. It just makes me feel better, I don't know that I look more toned, but I think my skin looks healthier. I use a Neutragena battery operated hand held facial scrubber. It polishes the skin nicely.
