    HI ALL,



      HOPE,S ACCIDENTAL FINDS WITH MICRO PLUSH & EXTRA MICRO PLUSH PRODUCTS FOR PATIENTS WITH RSD/CRPS!!!!!   SLEEP MIST THAT WORKS I SWEAR!



     



     THIS IS HOPE FOR ALL 2006!    I know everyone knows what MICRO-PLUSH FLEECE IS I sure do thats all I can wear they are warm and they dont hurt your skin as much as normal scratchy clothes,sheets,socks,ect



     



     



    I started with micro plush  fleece socks at Bath and body works,wal-mart,k-mart ect,    They also have grippy things on the bottom so you dont fall from our many types of flooring. 8.00$ A PAIR THERE AWSOME. GREAT FOR DR APPTS ECT.



    THEN I HAD TO FIND SHEETS THAT WONT GIVE ME SHEET SHOCK FROM HOW COLD THEY GET ,I FOUND MICRO PLUSH BLANKETS IN ANY SIZE AND PRICES VARY AT WAL-MART,K-MART, QVC.COM, I BOUGHT THEM A LITTLE AT A TIME SO YOU CAN GET A VARITY OF COLORS.FEELS GREAT! LOOK FOR SALES TOO!



     



    FOR PANTS AT ANYTIME YOU CAN FIND MICROPLUSH PJ BOTTOMS ALMOST ANYWHERE SOME HAVE NICE PRINTS AND SOME PLAIN AS WELL ,THERE ABOUT 6$ A PAIR WAL-MART KMART,QVC.COM ECT. THESE ARE THE ONES OUR TEENS WHERE TODAY.THERE GREAT.



     



    ALSO I COULDNY WEAR MY TEES BECAUSE MY ARMS WOULD BURN COLD OR HOT ,GUESS WHAT THEY ARE BACK LEG WARMERS AND YOU CAN PUT THEM ON OR IF YOU BREAK OUT INTO A SWEAT LIKE MYSELF YOU CAN TAKE THEM OFF AND THEY DO LOOK NICE IN THE BLK,OR BEIGE .I FOUND THEM FOR 5$S A PAIR AND THERE A GOD SENT! THE ARM WARMERS WILL BE TOO SHORT FOR YOU ALL SO GET THE LEG ONES .



     



    THEN YOU CAN WHERE YOUR SHORT SLEEVES AGAIN AND ALSO LOOK NICE,FIND YOURSELF SOME MICRO FLEECE GLOVES AND HATS YOU WILL LOVE THIS MATERIAL AND CAN BE FOUND JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE



    .



    THERE IS MICRO FLEECE IN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING FOR YOUR BODY AND CERTAIN THINGS AT HOME.THE SOFTER THE BETTER RESULT. THEY HAVE A EXTRA MICRO PLUSH EXTRA AS WELL .



     



    THE INSIDE OF YOUR SHOES SOME HAVE THE SHEAP SKIN IN THEM THERE GOOD TOO ! THIS MATERAL CAN BE USED WITH ENDLESS POSSIBILITYS IF YOU THINK OF IT FOR WHAT LOOK IT UP IT WILL PROBLEY BE THERE!



     



    ITS MOST IMPORTANT FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE FULL-BODY RSD/CRPS NO MATTER THE WHEATHER THATS ALL I WEAR ALL THE TIME.IM TELLING YOU THE BEST TEST IS YOUR SHEETS.GET THE SIZE BLAKETS FOR YOUR BED GET THE 2 IT WILL BE UNDER YOU AND ON TOP.HOW COMFORTABLE IT IS ! FOR QUEEN I USALLY BUY THE KING SIZE ALWAYS BECAUSE IT MORE ON EACH SIDE AND ALSO FOR TUCKING IN LIKE SHEETS.



     



    IF THERE 2 HOT FOR SOME OF YOU THEN ON QVC.COM WHO I HAVE ORDERED FROM FOREVER YOU CANT BEAT THERE PRICES AND PRODUCTS AND THEY HAVE A EXCELLENT REVEIW FROM ALL CUSTOMERS.I KNOW ITS TV SALES ITS NOTHING LIKE YOU THINK I THOUGHT THE SAME AND GAVE THEM A SHOT AND BEEN WITH THEM AT LEAST 20 YEARS NOW SO YOUR SAFE AND YOU WONT HAVE TO RETURN MANY PRODUCTS THEY DONT SELL ANYTHING THAT DONT PASS MAJOR TESTS.THERE VERY PERSONAL TOO YOUR NEEDS AND SUGGESTIONS.GREAT SITE PROMISE!



     



    THEY HAVE WHATS CALLED JERSEY KNIT SHEET SETS THEY ARE LIKE YOUR SOFTEST TEE AND THERE GREAT FOR SUMMER .THEY FEEL GREAT AND THE MORE YOU WASH THEM THE SOFTER THEY BECOME,



    EVERYTHING WASHES WELL JUST DONT***** DRY ANY MICRO FLEECE EVEN THOUGH THEY SAY YOU CAN, DONT THE DRYER BURNS THEM AND MAKES THEM RUFF! I KNOW THEN THERE WORTHLESS SO BECAREFUL I DID IT AND I WAS SO MAD AT MYSELF BECAUSE THEY WERE RUINED.



     



    I CANT LIVE WITHOUT THIS MATERAL ITS THE BEST FOR OUR SKIN AND THERES NOTHING NICER THEN TO PUT ON A NICE SOFT ROBE ON WITH YOUR SOFT SOCKS AND MY CASE I HAVE TO WEAR THE MICRO FLEECE HATS IN MY HOME BECAUSE MY HEAD BURNS TOO!



     



    SO I HOPE YOU WILL FIND THIS A BIG HELP I HAVE FOR 9 LONG YEARS! COULDNT LIVE WITHOUT THEM AND CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR IS COMING IF SOMEONE ASKS WHAT YOU NEED EXTRA OR MICRO PLUSH FLEECE BLANKETS FOR YOUR BED,OR MICRO PLUSH PJS OR BOTTOMS,SOCKS ECT,CHECK OUT THE DIFFERANCE FOR YOURSELF YOU ALL DESERVE IT.IN BATH AND BODY WORKS THEY ALSO HAVE A GREAT SLEEP OR RELAXATION MIST,LOTION,OIL ECT FOR NIGHT TIME AND YES THEY WORK LIKE A CHARM.



     



    1 IS CHAMOILE AND LAVENDER,OR MILK AND HONEY SCENTS TO MIST ON YOUR PILLOW,BLANKETS,PJS AND LET IT DRY THE AROMA IS BEATIFULL AND IT HELPS ALOT MORE TO MY SURPRISE TO ME AGAIN! GET JUST THE MIST OR THE SET.

    If you live in the US or Canada I found a free promo for snuggies. You don't even have to pay the shipping and handling it is all free. Takes about 6 weeks to get yoru free snuggy and you get to pick what color you want..... enjoy!

    layers and buy a Snuggie. They are going to be my best friends this winter. and I won't leave home without a blanket in the car, or maybe even two.
