5 Things That Give Me a Strange Sense of Satisfaction
- Taking off my bra after a really long day
- Flossing the HECK out of my teeth
- Cleaning my belly button with a Q-tip
- Clipping my toe nails (it’s even better if they’re really long)
- Vigorously exfoliating with these shower gloves
I just picked up this cute new pair by EcoTools ($3). It’s made from 65% recycled materials, which I thought was pretty cool. Probably puts a lot of old plastic soda bottles, yogurt cups and tubs of margarine to good use.
The gloves feel soft and pliable, yet they’re still coarse and dense enough to give my bod a good scrubbing.
I got them in green because they matched my bath towels (nerd!), but they also come in brown and blue. 🙂
Oh, and I also like that EcoTools donates 1% of their annual revenue to environmental causes.
PRICE: $3
AVAILABILITY: Available now at Target stores (they don’t appear to be sold online)
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: A+
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

November 16th, 2011 at 12:41 pmMe too! I can’t stand when they get too long. I can feel them hitting up against the tops of my shoes. Drives me nuts!

November 16th, 2011 at 11:36 amI didn’t know that, either, Rads. Very respectable. Even though it’s 1%, at least it’s something. 🙂
Hehe, and Karen, I would SO get those gloves to because they also match my green towels. Not nerdy at all. 😉 We just like everything to go with each other. 😀

Advah says
November 17th, 2011 at 1:30 am(cough I may have done this at work when a strapless bra proved too tight on more than one occasion cough)
Linnea says
November 17th, 2011 at 3:19 pmHaha agree with all of the above. Number 1 is like the best thing ever, and Advah — defintiely did this last week(the boy was SHOCKED, and did not understand.)

November 16th, 2011 at 12:39 pmYou should give them a go! They’re great for when you want to feel squeaky clean.
Vonvon says
November 16th, 2011 at 11:48 amI have not tried shower gloves or bath mitts before. I just depend on body scrubs! Haha! That’s totally different. But may be I should get a pair, as the movement of this on the body will stimulate the circulation.

Shannon says
November 16th, 2011 at 12:07 pmI love Eco tools!!! They make the best products. I have tried everything from their lip balm and bath loofahs, to their makeup brushes.

November 16th, 2011 at 1:06 pmHa Ha! I insist ur so funny! I’m talking about the things that give you sat.. And I agree ha ha! Well not the bra bc for me it’s nothing there to hold! 😉
Marian says
November 16th, 2011 at 1:11 pmI just did my toenails…I know what you mean! It was very satisfying.lol
Emma RZ says
November 16th, 2011 at 1:17 pmI have these. They are great but just a bit too big for my wee hands so I wish that they were a bit smaller.
gio says
November 16th, 2011 at 1:20 pmI’ve never tried shower gloves but that might change soon. They sound interesting..

November 16th, 2011 at 3:24 pmTotally with you on the bra thing!! Also – peeling sunburns (gross, I know) and unbuttoning one’s skinny jeans in the car on the way home from a particularly large meal. 🙂
JaNelle says
November 16th, 2011 at 5:24 pmHa ha.. I love cleaning my belly button too!!! But seriously these gloves are as good as bought!
Chelsea says
November 16th, 2011 at 6:28 pmtaking a bra off at the end of a long day is THE BEST!
My skin’s a little too sensitive this time of year for that kind of thing, but they look good! I love EcoTools.
PinkGlitter says
November 16th, 2011 at 7:51 pmI really like EcoTool brushes- great quality and affordable. I guess I never noticed that they make stuff beside brushes.

November 16th, 2011 at 7:51 pmI’ll definitely be picking these up in blue (also to match my towels, haha).
I share your sentiments with #1 so much, especially if the bra is a push-up. I told my SO to imagine if his boxers had underwire….needless to say he was kinda weirded out lol.
Annabella Freeman says
November 20th, 2011 at 12:31 amI wish I’d seen those when I was in US in September. I went to Target twice how I didn’t notice them I don’t know????
