This was the grandest of them all this time. It was held in Boulevard3, which is a multi-level venue, so we were able to visit all the “booths” without being cramped and claustrophobic. Also, I’m a very linear thinker, and the lay-out made it easy for me to get to just about every sponsor, as I hate leaving anyone out.

When I un-packed all my goodies back at the house, after three days of gifting, the only one Mr. X (who hates clutter) was happy to see was my new Chi Nano hair-dryer! He’s almost as into my hair as I am, and loves my Chi Wet/Dry Flatiron, that we use all the time. He loves it so much, that he even flat-irons my hair, on occasion. (Actually, many an occasion! How lucky am I???) I just wish Chi would start making massage products! www.farouk.com

I got the most adorable bathing suit from the cutest girl, Lindsay Condron. Now, if only I had not rejected the weight loss drops that were offered to me, I’d be all set! www.lindsaycondron.com

I can fill out the bikini top with my own big chest, (which is real, btw, for those of you who are always curious), but just to make sure I’m extra-camera ready (should I wear it on my show in the summer), Kathleen Kirkwood is sending me her famous Bust-ease bra inserts that are being custom-made for me. www.kathleenkirkwood.com

Not to leave the fashionable Mr. X out of the wardrobe category, Perry Ellis sent home a tie and tee shirt for him. Not to wear at the same time, of course, but that may just be his new style when he reads this! www.perryellis.com

I received three products to improve my health, which believe me, I sorely need. One is Via Viente, an anti-oxidant elixir. www.viaattheglobes.com

The other two are skincare lines. VMV Hypoallergenics has many new and innovative products. With my allergies, I totally appreciate them, although I’m sure that I’ll share with my little mother, who’s the allergy queen. If they remember to send me their amazing mascara, though, that’s all mine! www.vmvhypoallergenics.comThe other is Electric Body, out of New Zealand. I know that it’s completely non-toxic skin care, which is a necessity these days. After the rep told me where they’re from, I didn’t hear much else because one of my favorite friends, Gina Nel from Aspen, is moving there with her little family, and that’s all I could think about. Saying “New Zealand” to me now is like saying “Niagara Falls” to The Three Stooges! I think I’ll go soak in their Body Polish and drown my Gina-moving-to-another-country sorrows. www.electricbody.com

Between all the sexy gifts I just told you about, Mr. X and I will be looking good and ready for some romance. I’m so happy that my favorite candle company, 100 Candles, gave me some smoldering new designs, which we’ll be burning real soon. Unfortunately for me, it’ll probably be at both ends!!! www.100candles.com

To make sure I have the energy for all that activity, Shadow Sky gifted me with his Hu Energy Fashion Pendant. www.huenergyfashion.com

I usually read only the restaurant reviews that I write in this column or feature on my TV show, Karen’s Restaurant Revue, (I hope you all start with them, too), but now when I need the occasional second opinion, I can check with the Hungry? City Guides that the incredibly nice female company reps bestowed on me. They have packs of discount cards, as well, so I’ll definitely be checking into those. www.hungrycityguides.com
