I bought a Sharp 27" television 15 years ago. It had beautiful color in the store. I compared it to all the other brands of it's size and decided that this is the one I wanted. I thought that for the price and the size that it was worth the gamble to buy it instead of the higher priced more well known brands. I have never been as impressed with a television as much as I have been ...

I really didn't believe all the hype on Airborne. You know the cold and flu fighter that was created by a schoolteacher? What does a schoolteacher know about medicine other than taking it? Desperate situations call for desperate measures. I was surveying the cold medicine aisle in my local Meijer and decided that in desperation I would try it. It has a palatable flavor.  Airborne actua...

I love Nailene artificial fingernails because they make my hands look pretty. I used to have short, brittle nails that I liked to bite. I couldn't really afford to go have them done so I decided to try doing themselves. We were getting ready to go to a Christmas party at my husband's bosses house and I didn't want to look dumpy and frumpy. I had the dress, make-up and shoes but I kn...

I have used Cover Girl make-up most of my life, since I started wearing make-up at about 15 years of age. I like the coverage and the color choices. It blends and is fairly long lasting. I like the fragrance. Maybe it is memories of my teenage years. When I tried the fragrance free I found that I actually preferred the fragrance of the original. Always up for trying some kind of new make-u...

I have worn Cover Girl makeup since I started wearing makeup at about 15 years of age. I have always came back to Cover Girl. I tried Trublend because it is supposed to have correction coverage. I was not as happy with it as I was with CS Smoothers.  CS Smoothers has a variety of choices of colors. It is very transparent and long lasting. I am totally sold on this product. I have tried jus...

 I went to my first Pampered Chef party with some hesitation. That has been about 16 years ago. The products are expensive. That is why it pays to have the Pampered Chef parties. The more people that you have over that purchase products or book parties the more you can get free or discounted. If you like to entertain it is a good way to party. The bad part is not everyone wants to come to ...

The only kind of home party that I will have is a Pampered Chef party. It is a fun way to entertain friends. Well anyway women friends and actually some men enjoy them too if they like to cook. I refer to Pampered Chef products as toys for women or grown ups.  I love to cook and I especially love spicey food. I use garlic in almost every meal that I prepare. Garlic is not only delicious bu...

This is another Pampered Chef product that you will love. Once you have used it you will not want to prepare your salads without it. I love this salad spinner. If you like salads, even if you don't make them from scratch and buy them in the bag, you will love this salad spinner. The bagged salads are loaded with preservatives. You can leave them in the refrigerator for a...

Anyone who is familiar with Pampered Chef knows about their cooking stones. They are famous for their pizza stones. I have a round pizza stone that I use a lot. The best thing about the pizza baking stone is that it bakes so evenly. It is really hard to burn anything unless you really work at it or forget that it is in the oven. They are made out of clay and although they are not pretty they do...

If you are familiar with Pampered Chef then you know that they are famous for their baking stones. The most familiar one is the round pizza stone. The one that I am writing about is the rectangular lipped baking stone. It has a lip on it that makes it much better for baking deep-dish pizzas and other similar dishes. I love to make many different meals using this rectangular baking stone. You ca...

I have used Bactine on and off for years. I am prone to skin irritations and rashes. I have been to dermatologists and doctors for allergies and for skin irritations. I paid a small fortune on different skin creams and ointments not to mention the bills for the dermatologists. I have a tendency to get a rash on the back of my neck, I have no idea what it is from but using the prescription medic...

I tried Crystal Light at a friend's house when she had a luncheon. I am not much of a tea drinker but since that was what she had to offer I tried it. I absolutely loved it. I was especially surprised that it was sugar free. I decided to buy it for myself. The downside is that it is relatively expensive. It is also the most popular of the fruit flavors of Crystal Light. If it is on sale you...

Burt's Bees Coconut foot crème is a luxury that I don't want to do without. I got my first tube as a gift in a basket of other Burt's Bees skin care products. It is loaded with Vitamin E, coconut oil, olive oil and other very soothing natural ingredients. It also has a hint of peppermint and rosemary which is very soothing and tingles. Soak your feet in warm water for approxi...

Burt's Bees hand repair crème has sunflower oil, glycerin, and shea butter in it. Shea butter comes from the fruit of the karite tree. There are natural botanical oils such as macadamia nut, rosehip, and lavender, which have antioxidants in them. Other ingredients included help promote elasticity in your skin and prevent wrinkles from environmental aging. These healthy ...

Burt's Bees Lip shimmer is loaded with vitamin E from soy which is a natural antioxidant. It also has beeswax and lanolin. You can wear it over lipstick or alone. I love the feel of it. It is soothing with a tingle of peppermint and soothes your lips. It also heals cracked or irritated skin. I have a tendency to bite my lips when they get dry but  now that I use this lip shimmer f...

Sea Essentials is a liquid vitamin, mineral and amino acid supplement that is made from the best richest sea vegetables from the purest arctic seawater. It is absorbed into your body better than pills. The fillers and coatings on pills often inhibit absorption into the body, making them less effective for your health. Our soil  has been depleted of their natural nutrients because of our ag...

I love my Rocket Dogs! I never heard of them before but saw them online. I bought a pair of brown suede looking slip on tennis shoes. They are very cute and make my feet look small. I actually have small feet but these make mine look even smaller and more dainty than they are.  My Rocket Dogs are the most comfortable pair of shoes i have ever worn. I have a bad back but with these on ...

I love flowers and especially roses. Roses are very expensive as anyone who likes to have them know. I shop at Aldi's for groceries and other household necessities and found that they also carry bouquets. I like to buy myself flowers since my husband is not much for buying them. When I first spotted these bouquets in the entrance of my Aldi's store I was stunned. The price for these ros...

My son was desperate for a WWI for Christmas. What in the heck is a WII? It is the hottest game since, well whatever it was that kids wanted before the WII. The bad news was it was in such hot demand that we were not able to get the WII until almost a month after Christmas at Walmart. A friend of his stood in line for over 2 hours with cash to purchase it for him then. He was out of town and ru...

My son like every other kid in America had to have Guitar Hero 3 for Christmas. The horrifiying part was there were none available. After almost 3 weeks a friend stood in line at Walmart, hearing there was a select number to be in the store, for over 2 hours. He was able to get one for my son, who was out of town for the weekend. Guitar Hero 3 is different than Guitar Hero 1 and 2 only in that ...
