Working in the sun doing heavy lifting in past summers, I have found that many deoderants don't rise to the challenge for me. Even if they manage to keep me from being stinky, I'm not dry. But I bought mitchum, because I heard that it used to be sold completely by prescription for excessively sweaty people. I have to say that this is the most effective deoderant I've ever had. I even tried s...

I live in upstate NY where Niagara Falls is a mere 2 hours away. One weekend, my significant other and I decided to take a little road trip. Getting into Canada was incredibly easy--we presented our licenses and told them our intents. The view was absolutely spectacular. We went on a day when it was slightly chilly, so the crowds were mild to moderate. I would absolutely recommend going on ...

This is the least effective method for treating colds I have ever seen. If you see the word "homeopathy", it is almost guaranteed to be complete crock. I have tried this on occasion, and not only did it not help with my cold, but it made my nose bleed. As I did more research on the product, I have found that there are many people out there with lawsuits against the company. Because of zicam...

I went to the store looking for some gloves I could type in. Fortunately, I found the gloves that were fingerless, but they had an attachment that converted them to mittens. The mitten part came back and buttoned to the wrist area for when you needed your fingertips. They were very cute, and they seemed to be really soft. They had nice colors, and I was very happy with my purchase for all o...

I loved this smell so much. One of my friends in high school first gave me a little giftpack, and I thought it would not be the right smell for me. But I sprayed a little on me, and I think it became my favorite smell right away. I have never received so many compliments from strangers as I did when I wore that body spray--and it's incredibly cheap. It's not overpowering, it's delightful, a...

Well, the laptop itself is fabulous. I got my Inspiron in the mail when my old Gateway computer failed to rise to the challenge when finals came. It was fantastic with an 80GB hard drive and 1GB RAM. I felt like I could shoot fire from this quiet little machine. The widescreen monitor makes watching movies awesome. However, I have had a deal of trouble with the power cord. I had some issue...

I bought some Christmas-themed mint-flavored M&M's a few weeks ago entirely on accident.  I thought I was buying my plain run-of-the-mill M&M's but with a Christmasy bag.  When I opened them, I first thought they were peanut butter or something, because they were a larger size--which is an awesome size for candy if you ask me, but instead of having peanut butter or pea...

I needed a nice, powerful vacuum for my first apartment a few years ago that was compact but would get the job done.  I have kids who like to eat messy things, and so effectiveness was very important.  It's a very cute neon green unit that has a handle which lowers easily for compact storage.  It is a bagless--which is fantastic.  You can buy filters that have baking sod...

I came into a wealth of Mary Kay by a strange twist of events.  I had never thought of ordering Mary Kay, because it is a little expensive for my tastes.  But I thought that I would give it a go since I had all of it right at my fingertips.  The color selections were limited at best.  I never did find a color of foundation that would suit my complection, but I thought that m...

I bought my D70s back in 2005, because I wanted something suitable for working at the school newspaper.  That camera has gone to an enormous amount of events and places with me.  I took it into Niagara Falls covered by a plastic bag even.  It is tough as nails, and that's what I need.  The shutter still snaps like it did almost 3 years ago, and I have not had a single mi...

I had heard about using henna on hair a while back, but I was put off by all the work you have to do to use it.  One day, I copped out and bought a package, mixed it with lemon juice and hot water, and let it sit overnight.  The next day, I added some rosemary and paprika (for smell and color enhancement, respectively) and I put the goop in my hair.  In spite of the rosemary, it ...

Coming in an attractive case, the Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl Special Edition DVD had an amazing amount of special features, and I am a lover of all movie trivia.  In addition to having deleted scenes, bloopers and amazing commentary, the special features disc actually had loads of pirate trivia and Disney trivia which explained how the movie originated in a Disneyla...
