For our recent vacation to Florida, my husband and I reserved a rental car online with Avis before leaving for our trip.  We knew we wouldn't be using the car much, so the only requirement was that it have air conditioning, so we reserved an economy car.When we got to the Avis counter at the Ft. Myers airport, the clerk behind the counter asked us, "Would you like to upgrade ...

Mary Kay's Targeted Action Line Reducer is a fairly new product.  When I saw the product description, claiming that it would reduce lines on the face and help prevent future signs of aging, I figured it was worth a shot.  Mary Kay offers a 100% money back guarantee on thier products, so I knew I had nothing to lose by trying.I've found that the product claims are accurate.&nbs...

I am very sensitive to the sun.  I always wear sun screen and long sleeve and a hat.  When I read in a magazine about a pill that helps people be less sensitive to the sun, I wanted to try it.The pill is a dietary supplement that contains several antioxodants.  I started using the pill shortly before leaving for a vacation in Florida.  I took one pill each day.  I didn&...

My husband and I recently had a wonderful vacation at The Marco Beach Ocean Resort located on Marco Island, Florida.  The Island is on the Gulf Coast of Florida.   We spent the last week of August there, to which many people have commented, "What? Florida in August? Are you nuts?"  While people would, understandably, expect Florida to be extremely humid that t...

I enjoy a good fashion magazine at night while winding down the day.  I picked up a copy of "More" magaine while in an airport book shop to have that night to read.  I really just expected another typical women's fashion magaine, but was very plesantly surprised.  "More" is geared for the 40+ age group, which I am a part of.  Instead of fashion and ma...

Mary Kay's Microdermabrasion Set is priced at about $50.00 for a two piece set.  The first part is the actual microdermabrasion product that is applied to a damp face in small, circular motions very gently.  The second part is a soothing serum, that completes the process and conditions and comforts the skin.  I've also used the serum on razor burn with good results, altho...

Mary Kay's TimeWise 3-in-1 Cleanser comes in two formulas- one for normal to dry skin and one for combination to oily skin.  I use both, depending upon the time of year.  The combo/oily formula lathers nicely and leaves my skin feeling clean, but not dried out.  The normal/dry formula doesn't really lather, but still leaves my skin feeling clean, but with an added bo...

I have tried tons and tons of various skin care products in my life.  For one reason or another I have always had trouble finding a moisturizer that would work for me.   I really love Mary Kay's TimeWise Age Fighting Moisturizers.  I have very sensitive skin and can use both formulas, normal to dry and combination to oily.  The product is fragrance free an...

I have very dry lips and am constantly putting on lip products.  I am also very sun sensitive because I'm fair skinned and have lupus.  So I am finding that using Mary Kay's Lip Protector Sunscreen with SPF 15 works out very well for me. The packaging is in the style of a 'chapstick' tube, but this is no chapstick. It fits very nicely into my p...

I have three cats, a bunny and a puppy.  I really NEEDED an effective way to kill odors in the air.  I've tried all the new sprays and plug in air fresheners but didn't get the continuous effect I needed.  I had a coupon for the Renuzit Super Odor Killer and it was on sale, so I figured I'd give it a try. I'm so glad that I did.  It's not one of the new f...

I really hate to clean the toilet.  I also really hate having nasty, dirty, scummy toilet brushes hanging around.  That's why I was very anxious to try the Scubbing Bubbles disposable toilet cleaning system.Scrubbing Bubbles has two types of cleaning pads that can be used with it's Fresh Brush Toilet Cleaning System. There is a flushable cleaning pad and a disposable...

Viactiv Multi-vitamins come in fruit and milk chocolate flavors.   I use the milk chocolate and really enjoy the taste. They contain twelve essential vitamins plus calcium.  The taste makes them very easy to take. It's like having a piece of candy every morning.  I have noticed that I have more energy since I've been taking them.  That would probably happen with...

I've used lots of whitening products, but have found Listerine Pre-Brush Rinse to be a favorite.  This rinse is used before brushing the teeth.  The claim is that with regular use it will give you a brighter, whiter smile.  I have found an improvement in the whiteness of my teeth since using this product.It probably took about a month until I started noticing a difference.&nb...

Invisilign are clear braces for teeth.  The system is based on clear, plastic trays made especially for you based on molds taken of your mouth. The way they work is that every other week you switch to a new tray. With each tray your teeth are adjusted a little bit.  By the time you get to your last tray you have reached your goal. I needed to get braces because a small gap betwee...

My teeth are set back very far in my mouth.  This made flossing very difficult for me.  Was I ever happy when I tried Reach Access Flossers!  This product is basically a long handle and on the end dental floss heads pop on and off.  Using the long handle with the floss head allows users to floss all teeth easily and effectively- even hard to reach places, like behind wisdom ...

I have rhuematoid arthritis.  Sometimew while out and about I start to have some pain. So when I saw the ad for Tylenol Go Tabs, I was very interested.  The idea is that this product can be taken without water with all the effectiveness of regular Tylenol. One day I was out and needed a pain pill, so I decided to try these go tabs. Oh my goodness! I can't begin to tell you ho...

I have rhuematoid arthritis so I decided to try Tylenol Arthritis.  The product claim is that it lasts longer and is more effective on arthritis pain than other medications.  I was very disappointed by the results.I found that this product had essentially the same result as regular Extra Strength Tylenol does on my arthritis pain.  It didn't last any long, which was really th...

Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner is a product that can be used to clean a variety of different surfaces.  It will clean metal, wood, glass and other types of surfaces.  What I really like using this for is tables that have glass and wood. I have a set of tables in my living room that are part glass and part wood. It's so much easier to use one product to clean the ...

Pledge Multi Surface Floor Cleaner claims to be effective on cleaning many different types of floors- wood, ceramic, vinyl, etc.  Our kitchen is tile and most of the rest of our floors are hard wood, so I thought I'd try this product. It seemed much more convenient than endlessly switching cleaners.At first, the cleaner seemed to work just fine.  It did clean both surfaces.  ...

I color my hair and had started finding that years of bleaching and coloring had started leaving my hair dried out and dull looking.  I saw an ad for John Freida's Sheer Blonde Highlight Activating Moisturizing Shampoo with Light Enhancers.  I noticed within about a week that my hair started looking shinier and less brittle and dry.  The color was looking better, too.  I...
