I love that I don't have to go to a salon to buy this.  It's available at supermarkets, drug stores, discount stores, etc.  It's a bit pricey for shampoo, but it's worth it.  If you are like me, and you don't wash your hair every day, it lasts quite a while.  Even though this shampoo is sulfate-free, it has a rich, luxurious lather.  (If you'...

The ingredients include alcohol, salicylic acid, and camphor.  The product doesn't claim to decrease breakouts; it is a spot treatment.  When you notice a pimple, apply the product directly to the spot, and it will be gone sooner than it would if you left it alone.  The product is liquid, with an easy-to-use roller-ball applicator.  You just shake it up, and apply i...

I've used several products from DHC (I'll probably submit reviews on more of their products, at some point), and this is one of my favorites.  The lactic acid and 10% alpha hydroxy acid help make this a gentle, weekly exfoliant, suitable for all skin types.  (I have rosacea, and this has never irritated my skin).  I didn't give it the highest rating for moisturiz...

The full title is five good minutes: 100 morning practices to help you stay calm & focused all day long.  The copyright date is 2005, and the authors are Jeffrey Brantley, M.D. & Wendy Millstine.  According to the book, he is "founder and director of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program at Duke University's Center for Integrative Medicine", and she...

Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Targeted Spot Treatment is a product I highly recommend, and I will definitely purchase it in the future.  I'm a BzzAgent, and this was a free sample to try out and rate.  I am a huge fan of Burt's Bees products, and this one didn't disappoint.  It treats, and seems to help prevent, my occasional, mild acne flare-ups.  The p...

This is a light-weight volumizing conditioner.  It doesn't weigh your hair down, and it can be used daily.  It's sulfate free, 100% vegan, and can be purchased at just about any grocery, drug, or discount store.  (I've noticed it's generally cheaper at Wal-Mart and some of the online drug stores).  It's worth the price, and if you don't sham...

I bought this at Target, and I don't remember the exact price, but it was somewhere around $20.  I needed something to catch spiders (I'm terrified of the little buggers!) and release them outside, instead of killing them.  This is the only one I could find, and it was in the toy department.  It works well on small or average size spiders, but it's not quite strong en...

The only thing I do NOT like about this is that it is not fragrance free.  The fragrance is light and pleasant though, not cloying or sweet.  This product is paraben and phthalate free, and the ingredients are wonderful (sunflower oil, royal jelly, aloe extract, vitamin E, etc.).  It is not tested on animals.  It comes in a convenient tube instead of a pump, so you're no...

I had some very dry patches along my knuckles, and this is the only thing that softened them up.  I noticed that my hands were back to normal in less than a week.  This product provides long lasting moisturization, and it's great to keep in the kitchen for use after washing dishes.  I use it mostly on my hands, but it's great on elbows, knees, feet, or anywhere you h...

I've only ever used a couple of frizz control products, so I don't have much to compare this to, but I like it.  It doesn't weigh hair down, it smells nice, and you don't need much of it - I have very thick hair, and I use about a quarter sized amount.  I should point out that I use this type of product to tame fly-aways more than actual frizz, so if you have frizzy, c...

This is a 3 scent candle (Cotton blossom, ocean air, fresh eucalyptus) made by Chesapeake Bay Candle.  The scent is not quite as strong as a Yankee Candle, but it is strong enough and definitely pleasant.  Burns for hours!  We got these in May, and are just now, needing to replace them.  We light candles on a nightly basis.  These candles are also attractive to have sit...

If I remember correctly, this phone was free when I purchased my wireless contract.  That was over a year ago, so I could be mistaken.  It has standard features plus the camera.  One thing I can say for it is it's a very durable phone.  (It has been dropped more than once, and it's been submerged in water).  The keypad is terrible for texting.  Texting take...

I sent my boyfriend to Blockbuster, he knows I love horror movies, and this is what he came back with.  It's one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time.  Don't waste your time with this one.  If we hadn't been drinking beer while laughing and groaning about the sheer stupidity of the dialogue and characters, I don't think we would have gotten more than one...

If you enjoy hidden object games, Mystery Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst is one of the best.  Many of the hidden object games seem to be written for children, and they don't hold the attention of an adult.  Ravenhearst offers objects that are not too easy to find, challenging puzzles, many different locations to discover, and hours upon hours of fun.  This is a very long g...
