Jill Fisher
Microdry Products

FOF Jill Fisher was the creative director at a brand development agency when she first came across the fabric that would become, Microdry. Her agency's founder and CEO, Iain Scorgie, returned from China; after eighteen months developing towel-like material, which they would eventually patent; as it felt like velvet and was super absorbent.  Jill saw the potential: "Before then, towels were either soft or absorbent," she remembers. She and her team named it Microdry, and used it to create a line of consumer products, starting with baby bathrobes in 2005. They were a hit. Today, the company manufactures adult robes, hair towels, bath pillows and their best-selling item to date...the Microdry memory foam bath mat.

Win: A trio of Jill's super-soft, quick-dry Microdry bath products: a luxury hair turban, memory foam bath pillow and memory foam bath mat.

Melanie Mayron
Mayron's Goods

Twelve years ago, expectant mom and former thirtysomething actress Melanie Mayron was having difficulty finding chemical-free baby products. "No one was talkin' 'natural' then," says Melanie. She's since spent over a decade developing her all-natural baby skincare line, Mayron's Goods, with the help of her Dad, a pharmaceutical chemist, and her actress friends, who tested the products on their own children!  Our Best Barrier and Diaper Cream, was Melanie's first bestseller... Newly launched are a body oil, body milk, chapped cheek and lip protector and more. "You don't have to be a baby to use it. After all, we're all somebody's baby," says Melanie. Read Melanie's full story, here.

Win: A gift set of beauty products from Melanie's all-natural skincare line, Mayron's Goods

Bonnie Steen
Roots Only

FOF Bonnie Steen spent years dying her hair at home to save money and time. Then a hairstylist friend told her she was seriously damaging her hair by repeatedly dying the whole shaft instead of just the roots. So she came up with an idea . . .

"I was combing out my tangles with a hair pick and suddenly thought 'If this were hollow, you could attach a bottle of hair color to the handle and squeeze it out through the teeth," says Bonnie. "You'd be able to comb and apply color to just the roots in one action." Her husband Claude created the first prototype for the hair-color applicator comb in 1994. Now, Bonnie's brainchild, Roots Only, is sold in over 4,000 Wal-Mart stores coast to coast. Read, Bonnie's full (amazing) story, here.

Win: Roots Only, Bonnie's hair color applicator comb.
