After the fun CPS meet-up, Julie left for her demo's at the Tri-Art/Jack Richardson Booth, while Pam and I walked the floor. It was amazing to see Pam and to catch up on everything, she is incredible inside and out. First we stopped off to the Barnes and Noble Booth on the lower level of the show!

The innovations portion of CHA, is a selecr group of products chosen to compete for the product of the show, with judges such as Candy Spelling and Access Hollywood's Fave Personality, among others. Here are some highlights from the demo and the girls who worked it, friends and more:
