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...

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...

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...

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 was advised by his podiatrist that he must start wearing inserts in his shoes.  We found a pair of Dr. Scholl's Tri-Comfort Orthotics at Walmart and decided to give them a try.He really likes them.  He says they are comfortable in his shoe and I think he will enjoy wearing them.  These orthotics are clinically proven to give pain relief for heels, arches, ball of f...

I really like the Reli On Digital Thermometer.  I've always owned the old-fashioned type mercury thermometers, and this is the first digital thermometer I've had.  I guess I'm behind the times.This thermometer is really nice and very quick at giving you an accurate reading of your temperature.  Within a minute you know what your temperature is, which certainly is bett...

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...

I have several pair of Lee Rider jeans, which I purchased recently from Walmart for approximately $15.00 each.  I am new to Lee Riders and I wish I had known about them sooner because I love these jeans.  They wear well, they wash well, and they fit great.  I can't believe that at one time I paid $75.00 for a pair of designer jeans and they weren't as nice as my Lee Rider...

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...

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...

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 BG-E6 Battery Grip fits only the Canon 5D Mark II Digital Camera.  It is a very nice grip in that it allows you to get double the battery life out of your camera by holding two lithium ion battteries.  It also gives you two different options to power up your camera, either through lithium ion batteries or six AA batteries.  The battery grip is portable and easy to carry with ...

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...

Feeding Frenzy is another cool game from Big Fish Games.  I was able to get it for $6.99 because I am a game club member.  This game is very addictive.  You're a small fish in a big pond, and you have to eat smaller fish without being eaten yourself.  As you go into your feeding frenzy and stock up on fish, your size will increase and you will be able to eat ever larger ...

My husband and I both have a problem with swallowing pills, but we still want and need to take a vitamin every day.  So when we found Centrum Liquid, it was like an answer to a prayer.  No more trying to swallow those horse pills.Centrum Liquid is a multivitamin/multimineral supplement.  An 8 fl oz bottle costs about $8.00 at Walmart.  One tablespoon daily is all it takes.&n...

My husband, brother-in-law and sister-in-law surprised me with a Kindle 2 for my birthday, and I love it.  I had been saving up money for it and had decided to hold off in getting it, and my husband took care of it for me.So when hubby started to show an interest in the Kindle DX with its larger screen, I thought what a great Christmas gift this would be for him.  With the help of a f...

My husband and I are getting back to basics.  Ever since my husband developed his serious toe infection and landed in the hospital with his BP and blood sugar all out of whack (he's a diabetic), both of us have decided that it was time to get back to a healthier lifestyle.  Part of that lifestyle is using products on our bodies that are as natural as possible.When it comes to deod...

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...
