Chiquita Fruit Crushies

Woman in yellow t-shirt was handing out free Chiquita pineapple &
banana fruit crushies at Chicago's Ogilvie Center this morning. Yellow
bottle says "crushed fruit snack 100% fruit", "whole fruit 2g fiber",
"2 servings of fruit". Haven't seen this claim often on juice bottles:
"100% recycled plastic & recyclable bottle".

CND Shellac After 5 Weeks

I got a manicure with CND's Shellac 14-day wear gel nail polish on
March 14 at America's Beauty Show. This is how my nails looked 5 weeks
later on April 18. I did get a chip on my left index finger (that I
filed away) after about 10 days but otherwise very long-lasting. I was
hard on my nails - went to several conferences/tradeshows, did the
dishes without gloves, opened plastic packages, and scraped off gunk
from kitchen counters during this time.
Disclosure: I received a free manicure from CND.
