When I went to Rome for the first time I was very excited about what to expect. I have to admit that I travelled there with very high hopes, and Rome did not fail me!I stayed at a very nice hotel at Via Veneto, a street five minutes away from the Spanish Steps. The hotel accommodated my every need, and was helpful in all imaginable ways. When I left the hotel in the morning it was a 20 minute w...

 I have suffered from bad cold every winter the last few years. I was therefore very excited when I first learnt about Zicam, which the manufacturers claim can get you over the cold faster. I have used Zicam on three different occasions, and I have yet to be completely convinced of the product. The first time I used Zicam I started taking it a few days after I fell ill. Since this cold rem...

 Maple Story is a online role playing game from Nexon. The idea behind the game is to build up a character through playing, and making that character as strong as possible. The more you play, the more "experience" you gain, allowing you to gain levels and advance to different skills and armor in the game. While playing you interact with other people whether it's to buy or sel...

 Tramontina's 10 piece stainless steel cookware is an excellent choice for new pots and pans. I got mine at Wal-Mart, and although I was skeptical at first I found this product to be excellent. Cooking is made easy with this set. The handles have rubber covers on them to protect your hands, and I have not had any problems with food sticking. The pans distribute heat very well...

According to the package, Lavoris mouthwash with natural peppermint flavor is clinically proven to fight morning breath with unparalleled protection. There’s also a sign indicating the quality of the brand for over 100 years, so the expectations to this product were big when I first tried it. Seeing as Lavoris claims that other mouthwashes only mask bad breath for a short time I hoped...

Rexona's Ultra Clear Pure Rain anti-perspirant & deodorant has a very good fragrance and works good even at the most critical moments. Compared to its competition Rexona offers an affordable and good quality product, and if you’re looking to get the most for your money this would definitely be the deodorant. I have not have any problems with sweat or smell with this product; i...

Pond's cold cream "the cool classic" claims to thoroughly deep clean without drying your skin, and leaving it looking and feeling touchable soft and radiantly clean. Assumedly it gets down into the pores to remove hidden dirt and make-up, to give you a smooth finish that's neither tight nor dry. In addition to this they claim it to be hypo-allergenic, won't clog pores an...

American Fare’s earache relief ear drops are homeopathic, and when I suffered a painful ear infection earlier this year I decided to try it out before going to the doctor. I had never tried a homeopathic medicine before, and while I was skeptical I also thought that it couldn’t hurt since it’s all natural ingredients. On the package it says to take the drops up to “s...

Pentax has made digital photography easy with this camera. It has 2.5 inch LCD screen, 6 mega pixels, and 3x optical zoom. In addition to this there are several ready set functions for portraits, black and white, landscapes etc. I have to admit that I both love and hate this camera. The huge LCD screen works great in good light, but since there's no "peek-hole", photography at nig...

Where I work I often experience small cuts on my hands and fingers, and if I don't take care in cleaning it I often end up with infected cuts. Out of all the antibiotic ointments that I have tried, ZEE ranks up at the top with neosporen. It's a first aid to help prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes and burns, and I get them in tiny packs of 1/32 oz. These small packs holds enough oi...

A few months ago I bought a Companion tool set at a very low price, and after a few months use I am ready to review the product. As this was dirt cheap I did not expect that much from it, but I can tell you I proved to be wrong! The toolset contains everything you need for everyday work around the house, no fancy things, but all the basics are covered. When I first opened it I was surp...

I have used Garnier Fructise products for years, and although I occasionally jump to different products for a change I always come back to this brand. The smell is very refreshing; in fact it smells so good I would eat it if I could. It’s best for everyday use, as the effect doesn't last much longer than a day but this brand is top notch and one of my favorites. This model is sup...

As with other Garnier Fructis products this conditioner does not disappoint! It's enriched with active fruit concentrate to give strength and shine to your hair, and they claim to make your hair five times stronger and smoother.  The fragrance and feel of this conditioner is the best part. It smells so good, and the softness of your hair is really remarkable. In my opinion their con...

After fostering two stray cats in addition to our own we found ourselves infested with fleas. I decided to try Sergeant's Skip-Flea and Tick Shampoo for cats as it promises to kill fleas, ticks and lice. The directions are straightforward, wet the cat and apply the shampoo to the coat. Leave the cat in a lathered state for four or five minutes before rinsing with warm water. The product was...

I like Suave products, because they offer good quality for a cheap price. The sweet pea and violet body wash is no exception to this. The fragrance is wonderful, and leaves you with a feeling of being refreshed and feeling attractive. In really does smell like violets, and is soft and gentle on your skin. The body wash lathers well, and gives your skin a velvety smooth softness just as desc...

When it comes to cleaning products I am basically looking for three things: the price, scent, and effectiveness. Sparkling wave from Pine-Sol claims to have a powerful scent of clean, and is an all purpose cleaner that cuts grease and grime, deodorizes and shines. For a dollar this product is remarkable. It's long lasting, and the floors really do smell clean after using it. It does r...

Cotton balls, or cometic putts are used alot in my household. Whether it's for the home or body, I can always find use for them. I saw Rite Aid have 300 of them for 99 cents, so I decided to try it. For me to give a good rating on cosmetic puffs, the cotton balls need to be fluffy, firm, and soak up a good amount of moisture. Rite Aid's product scores great on price, but unfortunately t...

First of all, I am a firm believer in soft toilet paper, so I was curious as to how great American Fare's double roll bath tissue was seeing as they claim it to be both soft and absorbent. After testing it the toilet paper scores a rating of 3.5. This is not a very soft tissue paper, but then again you could get far worse. Its plain and simple average toilet paper, no gimmicks or anything e...

A while back we were looking for a TV that was not too big, that had decent quality and a good price. I ended up buying Emerson 20” LCD flat panel TV at Wal-Mart for $250. The TV was easy to hook up, and is fairly light. I never had a flat panel TV before, and I was surprised at the value I got for the money. The picture quality certainly isn’t the best, but for the amount spent...

For Christmas I received a Black&Decker 12-Cup Coffeemaker. It has a timer on it, and an auto-function where you can set the coffee maker to brew at any given time. It’s black in color with a red display for the time. At first I was very enthusiastic about this coffee maker. I love the way it looks, and the fact that the display is easy to read. I also like how you can use the auto...
