InventHelp’s Invention Girl has returned home from a busy trip to Las Vegas. I had a great time attending the second InventHelp-INPEX New Product Showcase that was part of the larger Electronic Retailing Association (ERA) D2C Convention. Both events took place at the beautiful Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, NV from September 21-23.

Ear Cuffies are soft, flexible covers that prevent burns caused by curling irons, hot combs, hot rollers and other heated styling devices. Before styling, just slip the Ear Cuffies right over each ear. An elastic band keeps the ear-shaped cover firmly in place, protecting the ear from unfriendly appliances. Read More >>
