FOF Connie Sherman is giving away a "cooling" Hot Girls Pearl Necklace and travel purse. Enter to win by answering in the comments below: Do you own a set of pearls?
When
FOF Connie Sherman turned 47, her doctor found “questionable cells” in her breast tissue and put her on Tamoxifen. The medication came with an unpleasant side effect--frequent, agonizing hot flashes. “I’d literally come home and stick my head in the freezer,” says FOF Connie Sherman, now in her sixties.
Two years ago, still heated about her hot flashes--Connie began to think about out-of-the-box solutions. A former creative director in NYC for
Harper's Bazaar,
Vogue and Bloomingales, fashion was always on Connie’s mind. “I wanted something I could wear, that would actually do something about the heat,” says Connie. “And I’m not talking about a bandana.” She got to work on a prototype for
Hot Girls Pearls, jewelry made from beads filled with the same non-toxic icy gel that’s in medical ice packs.
Last June, when she was satisfied with her prototype, Connie rolled out her Hot Girls Pearls
necklace in three sizes (16”, 18” and 19.5”) and a
bracelet. More recently, she has added two new colors to her line: gunmetal and dusty pink. Her pearls start at $30.
Connie’s cool jewelry has proven a hot commodity--they’ve been featured on ABC’s
The View,
The Today Show and in Oprah’s
O Magazine. Connie estimates she’s sold 5,000 Hot Girls Pearls in less than a year. “There’s not one woman who doesn’t sigh in relief when they put them on,” says Connie.

I have never owned pearls although, I love them. It would be great to have for heirloom for my daughter or granddaughters.
Beautiful! I have Majorca pearls and matching earrings that my husband bought for me on a trip to Spain.
I am having hot flashes regularly now and these would be a blessing. I was a surgical RN for over 30 years and we used to make ice packs and wrap them in towels to then wrap around our surgeons’ necks to cool them down under the lights and impervious gowns which made them so hot. This is a beautiful way to keep cool.
I AM WAITING TO READ THE REVIEWS ABOUT THE PEARLS, SO I KNOW IF I SHOULD BUY SOME OR NOT.
now i do. when i was 13, for my bat mitzvah, i was given a choice, a bat mitzvah , (this was 46 years ago), a trip to spain or pearls. i took the bat bitzvah, knowing i’d eventually get the 2 others. i did. my parents gave me pearsl for my 5oth birthday. my mom never forgot. they arew sweet and delicate.. these pearls are hubba hubba. i’d love to wear these…to calm my hot flashes first and then for style…….hoping…
I own a pearl necklace, but it doesn’t do the trick that THIS one does! I might be tempted to sleep in it!
I only have costume quality pearls, but enjoy them regardless. I want to tell you that not only do I have hot flashes, I am hot all the time. Everyone around me is freezing and I am hot!!! In Connecticut, in January, I sometimes need to run the air conditioner. I need help and would love to try these pearls.
I don’t own a real pearl necklace. Been getting by with a fake one.
I don’t, but my mom sure would love these!
No….I do not own a set of pearls…
I have a pair handed down from relatives but would love these.
Wife does but more importantly she also has hot flashes
Now these are the pearls made for every girl!
I have some pearls but I rarely wear them. THese look modern and cool though.
I do! My great-grandmother gave me a string of dark ivory pearls, which I wore with my wedding dress. She was overjoyed to see me wear them, and I was so pleased that I had decided on a champagne-colored dress (to the ire of my mother, who thought that was a “second marriage” color). It looked beautiful on my skin tone and also enabled me to wear my great-grandmother’s pearls (they would not have worked with a pure white dress).
Yes I own a string of pearls. I have a brain tumour and am constantly soaking wet from the underactive pituatary gland. This looks great to me!
I hope I win!

Yes I own two sets of pearls. One from my dear mother, who passed away in 1999, they are very vintage and beautiful. The other set is from my wonderful husband who gave me black pearls for my 50th birthday. Pearls are ethereal and timeless and the ultimate accessory. Being in menopause I can truly appreciate the value of this amazing necklace. What a “cool” product !!!
