LifeStyle excite sensual gel is a product that is supposed to increase female pleasure during the sexual experience.  I found this gel while I was a breastfeeding mom, and in need of something (anything!) to increase my arousal.  If I had to write a one-word response to this product, it would be 'wow!'  A few seconds after application, you will begin to feel a warm, tingl...

When my husband decided to try to start his own business a couple years ago, we needed business cards.  I was able to make a business card template myself using my own computer, but we wanted it professionally printed so we contacted Kinko's. After calling Kinko's, I e-mailed them the file that contained the business card template.  Then they printed the cards in color, 12 per...

Last fall my husband went to rent a powerwasher to rid our siding of mold, but came back the proud owner of the Honda Excell 2600.  He thought it would be a good investment, and although I was skeptical at first, now I agree. We use this powerwasher a lot.  Last weekend my husband washed his tractor, all our lawnchairs, and our kids' wading pool that had been sitting out all winte...

When we had to replace our water heater last year, we wanted to purchase one that would heat enough water for our home's needs because the 40 gallon model just didn't cut it. My husband did a bit of research, and decided to go with a Whirlpool electric water heater with an 80 gallon capacity. Now, I have to admit I was a little mad that he spent so much on our water heater and wondered ...

In the course of organizing the garage, we purchased a storage cabinet made by Coleman. The size we purchased is 75-3/8”H x 19-5/8”D x 31-1/8”W and is perfect for our needs.  They also offer larger sizes, and my husband is lobbying for one.  These have one fixed shelf and two removeable shelves which gives you a lot of flexibility in what you can store inside.  ...

This is a great leaf blower.  It starts up well on the first try every time we need it.  It is gas powered so it can be taken anywhere without having to worry about an electrical cord.  One of the best features is that it is a backpack unit, so you have both hands free and it is easy to use. We don't have many trees so our leaf blower doesn't see many leaves, but we ...

Last Christmas I uploaded about 200 pictures onto Walmart's photo printing site.  I was going to make a few small photo albums, and include photos in Christmas cards.  The price was relatively comparable to other services in town (Target, Walgreens) so I decided to use Walmart since that is where I do a lot of my shopping. The first problem I had with the prints is I was under the...

Choosing a theme for your kids' birthday parties is always a daunting task.  When I saw the Wilton giant cupcake cake pan my plans for my daughter's second birthday party went into high gear!The cake pan is a single piece, but consists of two parts- the top and the bottom.  The cake pan comes with a recipe, which I used because the size of the cake pan is a little odd.  W...

I am not usually one to try new things, especially those that seem gimmicky, but I received a $2.50 coupon for a Bounce dryer bar which made it inexpensive enough for me to want to try it. These bars stick to a piece of plastic that adheres to the inside of your dryer's drum. When the clothes are tossed in the dryer they come into contact with the bar which deposits the fabric softener on t...

The Baby Einstein Lights and Melodies Caterpillar Bouncer was the bouncy seat we used with both my babies.  The chair gently vibrates and helps to calm baby and put them to sleep.  It has an arm that is detachable that has lights and plays 6 classical melodies (these are very soothing).  Little toys hang from the overhanging arm, and older infants can reach out for those.There ar...

I have a pair of slippers lined with fleece.  They are very comfortable, but my feet get SO hot when I wear them that I have to slip them off occasionally so my feet cool down. While flipping through the LL Bean catalog, I came across a pair of slippers that were in a flip flop style.  They were made of suede, and lined with the same fleece as my regular slippers, but there were open ...

Our church purchased some interlocking rubber mats made by Step2 to go under the climbing mats in the toddler nursery.  We wanted something safe, but fun and these mats seemed to fit the bill.  These mats have tongues and grooves just like puzzle pieces and are very easy to put together.  They are slightly textured so little feet have traction. They are made of 3/4" thick fo...

Before owning a gym membership, I was always looking for ways to get a good workout that would compliment my running.  A friend lent me her Billy Blanks Tae Bo DVD to try. The instructions were very clear, and before beginning the workout, Billy Blanks tells you how each move should look and feel. Once the music begins, the workout is fairly challenging but Billy Blanks is encouraging and ...

A couple months ago we found ourselves in a bind with a very high credit card balance and no way to reduce our interest rate below 20%.  I have a bank account with Regions Bank and called them to see if they offered a credit card at a lower interest rate we could transfer our money onto.What Regions Bank offered me was a cash advance.  I think I had probably received offers for such a...

Where I live snow accumulates enough to make snow removal difficult only a few times each winter.  So, while most people don't like to spend the money on a snowblower, they are nice to have when the times comes. After the first snowfall in our new home, our neighbor let us borrow his Toro Powerlite snowblower.  We had between 3 and 4 inches of snow and this snowblower removed it e...

When I began swimming, I had a big problem with getting water in my ears.  Even though I sometimes wore ear plugs, water still occasionally found its way into my ear canal.  I have a terrible time getting water out of my ear, and would usually end up with a sloshing sound in my head for hours until it finally dribbled out. I found Swim-EAR soon after one particularly long episode with...

Old Navy has developed a line of clothing for babies called Little Bundles.  This collection contains all the basics of a baby's wardrobe, including socks, cardigans, onesies, body suits, pants, hats and one-piece footed rompers. These pieces of clothing are offered from 0-3 months up to 12-18 months.  I have found that Old Navy baby clothes run fairly true to size.  They com...

I had my teeth professionally whitened about five years ago.  Since that time they have dulled in appearance, and I have been waiting until I was not pregnant or nursing to try an over-the-counter whitener.  My budget turned me to Crest Whitestrips classic. I am on my fourth day of using these whitestrips, and I can really tell a difference already.  They give you enough for 14 d...

The Snugli infant carrier by Evenflo was my first baby carrier purchase.  I loved the thought of having my hands free while carrying my new baby.  But, although the concept was a good one, I didn't like the execution. Using the Snugli, you can carry your baby facing either inward toward you or outward.  It's best to use it facing inward for infants with little or no head ...
