FOREO Starter Set
I was introduced to Swedish skincare company, FOREO, a few months back and I’ve been using the full size LUNA 2 ever since– (bye bye Clarisonic.) This pulsating silicon cleansing brush leaves skin feeling tighter and extremely clean.  It doesn’t irritate the skin like you can get with exfoliating, and one charge lasts for 7 months!  This gift set pictured includes a LUNA 2 for normal skin, LUNA play in Pearl Pink, and FOREO day and night cleansers for $199 (retail value $284) foreo.com

Ballet Bod Mobile App
Founded by two former ballerinas, I tried the Ballet Bod workout in LA before downloading the mobile app.  The app features a 12 week ballet-inspired workout program that you can do from the comfort of your own home with just a yoga block and your iPhone.  The 30 minute programs are new each week and are perfect for sculpting long lean muscles.   Starting at $80 for a 12 week program.  Available on The Ballet Bod website, App Store, or GooglePlay.

Naked 3D Fitness Tracker
I wrote about my experience getting my first scan with Naked, and I can’t wait until my pre-ordered product ships.  Naked Labs developed the world’s first 3D fitness tracker which is essentially an aesthetically pleasing mirror that records all of your body’s important measurements including body fat %, weight, and specific measurements.  The results are sent to your smartphone and voilà– you have your very own avatar!

Spectacles
These new glasses allow you to record up to 10 seconds of what you are seeing and add it automatically to your Snapchat, but they won’t be easy to track down.  Follow @spectacles on Twitter in order to find the surprise kiosks (Snapbots) that sell the glasses.  Your only safe bet is the NYC popup. 5 E 59th St, New York, NY 10022
