I have several small digital cameras which I really like, but when I saw this Olympus 12MP Digital Camera featured on HSN, I thought I would give it a try because it has features my other small digitals don't have.I own a professional Olympus SLR camera that I use for business.  I don't want to use my professional camera for normal fun shooting of everyday things.  This camera...

If you are planning a wedding and have a limited budget to work with, you might want to consider Walmart Bakery at Walmart Supercenters for your cake.  I have checked out their bakery for birthday cakes and other special occasion cakes, and I was very surprised to see what a great selection they have.  I personally have not gotten a wedding cake from them, but I have gotten other...

My mother-in-law lent me the book Free Money by Kevin Trudeau.  I already read Debt Cures by this author, so I was eager to see what this book would be like.Kevin Trudeau gives the reader numerous websites to check out that offer free money.  You may have money coming to you that you don't even know about, such as uncashed savings bonds, unclaimed refunds from the IRS, or forgotte...

About a year ago I purchased Debbie Meyer green boxes from HSN.  This is a 20 piece set of food containers made of a durable plastic that really does keep food fresh for much longer than if stored in other ways.These containers are dishwasher safe (top rack), microwave safe, and have tightly fitting lids that keep air out.  The containers I have pictured are the large boxes for holdin...

I had to purchase a new pet bed for my dogs because they chewed and demolished their other beds.  They have tried to chew this one, too, a habit I'm trying to break them of, but I keep a close eye on them in hopes of preserving the bed.  This DreamBoat bed is really soft and comfortable.  It has walls all the way around it, with a lower wall in front so that your pooch c...

My husband and I have a Sterling and Noble wall clock in our bedroom.  It is a very simple design in basic black.  It reminds me of the kind of clock you would see hanging on the wall of a classroom. The reason we purchased this clock is because it has big numbers and is easy to see, even from across the room.  My eyesight is not the best anymore, and my husband has diabetes...

I am a camera fanatic, I guess because my husband and I are both professional photographers.  I recently purchased a few point and shoot cameras, to use separately from my professional camera.  The Kodak EasyShare Z1485 IS is a dandy little camera.  I have mine in blue (my favorite color) and this camera is very user-friendly and takes great shots.  This camera is 14 megapix...

My husband and I have a queen size Stearns and Foster mattress which we have had for a number of years now.  It is a relatively comfortable mattress and firm without being too firm.One feature I don't like about it, though, is that when my husband tosses and turns, I feel every move on my side of the bed.  Maybe that's partly because I'm such a light sleeper and ...

My husband recently gave me Shania Starlight perfume for our wedding anniversary.  It was purchased at Kohl's for $42.00.  Shania Starlight is Shania Twain's second fragrance, and it is made by Coty (Stetson).  I have the 3.4 fl. oz. size.  That was the only size availabe when my husband purchased it, because it has just come on the market.  I'm not certain ...

My mother-in-law gave me Volumes one and two of "The Best of the Dean Martin Variety Show" on DVD.  Remember this show?  Dean would sing a few songs, have special guest stars, and do some comedy skits.  It was a nice show, and these DVDs take me back to a time years ago when I used to watch this show on TV.Each DVD runs about sixty minutes.  Some of Dean's gues...

My brother-in-law restores cars, and he uses this product a lot.  I recently used it on my husband's truck, and it really does do a nice job.The Wash & Wax Detailer is a product you can use when you don't want to do a full wash on your vehicle.  It removes dirt, grime, dust, and water spots from your car or truck and gives the vehicle a nice over-all shine.  It can be...

I purchased my HP 1210xi all-in-one printer at Sam's Club for $99.99.  I find that for the price, this is a really nice little printer.  It has many great features.  I have done much printing on this little machine, so far no problems.  It also scans and copies, and I must say, whatever copying I have done on it has come out really well.  The colors are true.  ...

I sometimes use an Analysis Pad to keep track of payments in our business and even for such mundane things as tallying bills and expenses.  I have a number of National Brand Premium Analysis Pads that I use on a fairly regular basis.These pads are made by Avery Dennison, have four columns and 50 sheets on 8 1/2 x 11" size paper.  The paper is color balanced for ease on the eyes a...

I used Behr Premium Plus paint to spruce up the woodwork in my bathroom.  This paint does a good job of going on smoothly and covering well.   I purchased one quart because I didn't have that much painting to do, but now that I see how nice the woodwork looks after having applied this paint, I'm thinking I might tackle a few more jobs, which means I'll probably need t...

I give my new laptop high ratings because it really is a nice system.  I've only recently started using it, if anything develops over time I will do an update.It is a Gateway 15.4" Dual Core 4GB Laptop with Webcam.  It really is a very nice system, weighs only a little over 6 lbs.  It comes in a variety of colors, mine is dark blue.  The hard drive is 160GB SATA 540...

I helped my brother-in-law wash his car the other day, and it was a pleasure using the new hose we purchased.  It is a Flexon Heavy Duty Garden Hose, 75 feet long.  This hose will cover a lot of ground.The inside diameter is 5/8", and it has a 7 year warranty, which I thought was impressive.  It has all-season flexibility, solid brass couplings, a patented Guard-N-Grip for e...

It may seem odd to do a review on a catalog, but this is one of the most comprehensive catalogs listing available DVD movies (and shows) that I have ever seen.  It is put out by TCM (Turner Classic Movies) in association with Movies Unlimited, and my husband and I saw it advertised on TCM one weekend when we were watching some old movies.  The catalog itself is $9.95, and with shippin...

The milkshakes from Burger King are pretty good.  My mother-in-law prefers vanilla, but chocolate is my pick.  Yesterday, I had one of their chocolate milkshakes and really enjoyed it.I don't know the nutritional value because there is no info about this on the large cup that the milkshake comes in, but I'm sure that these milkshakes are loaded with sugar and calories.  T...

My husband and I have two saltwater aquariums, a 135 gallon and a 37 gallon.  We use Oceanic Natural Sea Salt Mix (for making 90 gallons, which is 26.1 lbs) which we purchase at Petsmart for about $34.00. This sea salt does a very good job of keeping the water in the proper proportions for our saltwater fish.  It contains calcium and natural trace elements, comes i...

On one of my previous visits to the vet's office, I was given some samples of t/d Small Bites, food for dogs made by Hill's Prescription Diet.  Well, my dachshunds loved it, so I decided to buy a 5 lb bag.  One of the things I like about this food is that it is not fattening.  One of my dogs has a slight weight problem.  I'm trying to get a few extra po...
