Chick Chill

Wednesday, July 01, 2009

We have officially entered the Dog Days of Summer!

Your days are spent working out in the garden and flower beds, sitting at ball fields, and playing at the park with your kids. There are days when you just can not escape the heat and humidity. You drink water, but you'd rather be dumping it over your head in an effort to cool down. You reach into your cup and grab and ice cube and rub it on your forehead and arms.....but now you're all wet and not all to great to look at!


Enter the Chick Chill.....
Relief from the heat is what the Dallas, TX stay at home moms, and sisters, Caroline Norris and Katharine Godson were looking for. Unable to find anything appropriate they decided to make one for themselves.

The result; a reusable freezer gel‐pack wrapped in a colorful velour pouch with an embroidered ChickChill logo on the front.

“Discrete relief from the heat – in a fashionable way” says Katharine. “Guys will just put an ice tray on
their neck. We wanted something a little more lady‐like to cool down,” adds Caroline.

Other uses include: relief of muscle aches, fever, tired eyes, and hot flashes. “One
mother even wrote to say that she puts a pink ChickChill in her daughters’ lunch box” said Caroline.

Measuring approximately 5” x ¾” x 3 ½” the pouch is washable with an elastic opening at one end. Just
pop it in the freezer for a couple of hours and take ChickChill along with you. They’re not only great for personal use but also a unique and practical gift.
BUY IT:
The Chick Chill is available online at www.mumsatplay.com and retailers nationwide. They retail for $12.95, and come in your choice of 7 colors.


WIN IT:
Now you have a chance to win a Hot Pink Chick Chill of your own. All you have to do is tell me what you would use your chick chill for?
