Last night an entire glass of red wine was spilled onto my light beige carpet.  I had nothing in the house to clean it with, and felt my carpet was ruined.  Today, I went to the store to try to fine something that would possibly get some of the wine out of the carpet.  I ended up getting Oxyclean. I had seen the commercials, kind of leary, but would try anything at this point.&nb...

I have had some very serious dry skin this winter.  I also take my 2 year old daughter to a public pool for swim lessons and the chemicals in the pool make my skin react violently.  I have tried every kind of skin moisturizer on the market and nothing helped.  Someone reccomended the Aquaphor from Eucerin and this product is a miracle.  It stopped my nightmare itching within...

I have recently switched over to all Method cleaning products in my quest to "Go Green."  I will admit that I was quite skeptical of these non-chemical cleaners, but I was pleasantly suprised.  I have to say that actually work BETTER than any of my old cleaners.  They smell fantastic and the house actually had a "clean" smell instead of a "lemon like: sce...

I have a two year old daughter thst is Ok about eating her vegetables, but could be a lot better.  I was in the Organic store and saw that Alexia has a new product of chicken nuggets.  They come in two flavors, Broccoli and Cheddar and Spinach.  I figured they were worth a try.  I made them for my daughter who gobbled them down without a second look.  She said tehy were...

Amy's Organics recently introduced kids frozen entrees.  Though I usualy try to feed our daughter homemade food, we all find ourselves in a rush sometimes.  I purchased both flavors to try Macaroni and Cheese and Baked ztit.  They each come with broccoli, a focaccia with tomato sauce and cheese and a apple dessert.  It includes all the food groups in perfect portions.&nb...

I have to admit that Mary Kay has always for some reason come off to me as an "older women's" product line.  My mother has decided to start selling it, so to support her I purchased a few things from her to try.  I have to admit, I really like the products.  The 3 in 1 Facial Cleanser works really well.  It cleaned off all of my make up easily.  Does not h...

I have recently tried some of the Mary Kay cosmetics line.  I have been using the Microdermabrasion for about two weeks now and I have noticed a huge difference in my skin.  I use the products, which includes the scrub and a refining lotion.  The scrub has a very fine grit texture to it and has not caused any irritation or redness that I have had with other micro dermabrasio...

I received the Hamilton Beach 3 in 1 slow cooker for Christmas and it is wonderful!  It comes with three different sized inserts. two quart, four quart and six quart.  I have had issues cooking with slow cookers before and ending up with a lot of dry meat, which seemed strange to me when it was sitting in liquid.  I learned that slow cookers worked best when they are th...

I had owned an expensive electric toothbrush for many years and really liked it.  It broke and at the time I did not have the $100 or more dollars to replace it.  About the time this happened Oral B introduced the Vitality Electric toothbrushes for about $20.  I purchased one and one for my husband as well.  I think that it works just as well as the more expensive models.&nb...

I have had the Wustof classic Knife Block set for about seven years now.  I do a lot of cooking and my knives are by far my most treasured kitchen utensil.  They are frequently used by professional chefs.  They are very comfortable to hold and use. They hold a very sharp edge.  I so have my knives professionally sharpened about every six months to ensure they  remain in...

I have been participating in the On-line Weight Watchers program for 6 weeks now.  I have lost 8 pounds so far out of the 15-20 I would like to lose.  I like this program a lot and find it very easy to follow.  THe food is real food, not prepackaged diet plan food.  I feel that the Weight Watchers program is a "real life" approach to weight loss. It teaches account...

we bought the Britax martahon carseat for our daughter when she was 15 months old.  This is such a fantastic carseat..it looks so comfortable I want one for myself!  But more importantly Britax carseats are the highest in saftey ratings which was the most important feature of it.  They are a little bit on the expensive side, however you can't put a price on safety.  This...
