A friend of my sister's passed The Ice SpOt on to her. In turn, she handed it off to me, thinking that it would be helpful for when my thermostat kicks in or when my joints need cooling.

As it didn't come with packaging, I decided to do a Google search, just in case some of you were interested in this gadget. Well, surprisingly, this product is marketed for something different altogether! The intention is neither turn to down the heat in the body nor that in the joints. Instead, it's meant to freeze those wrinkles as you run the stainless steel disc, which cools when you turn it on, over your wrinkles. I guess it's kind of like Botox but using cryogenics instead. You can check it out here.

Well, I do love multi-purpose tools, although I can't speak to the efficacy of the third option. But, maybe I should get started on that, tout de suite.

What I can say, though, is that when I've been too tired or lazy to get up and dig out the ice-pack and my pillow-case for it, I reach into the drawer and turn on the Ice Spot. It does a passable job at cooling things down.

I haven't gone anywhere with it yet, but it might be a good thing to take when you don't have access to ice.
