Win Robi Comb, an economical, electronic safe lice killer - ends 11/30

 CLOSED
#12 Ronda said... I subscribe to your emails. (4)

When our kids are in school and daycare we always have to worry about what they may bring home. It may be a cold, the flu, bed bugs or lice. It's very possible, and now much easier to get rid of without chemicals.

I remember when I was in grade school, many, many years ago, and I came home with lice. My mom used a bottle of brown liquid in my hair and had to comb and comb. It took forever. And it smelled bad.

I have three grandkids, and thank goodness they've never had lice. But, if they ever get it, I would use Robi Comb. I love the fact that it's a safe lice killer.

Suggested retail price is $89.The removable Qi sleeve for the iPhone® 3GS/3G and the Qi door for the BlackBerry® Curve™ 8900 will be sold separately for $34.99 each.
