I have very pouffy, frizzy hair, and I have a heck of a time trying to smooth it. I've tried many proucts, but when I found this, I was floored. It works amazingly well - better than the far more expensive John Freida smoothing creme. I finger-comb it through my hair after washing and spraying leave-in conditioner, then style. Once it dries it gives a light hold to the style, or if you pref...

I am a packrat and a compulsive shopper. Meaning, I have a lot of clutter, and having recently moved into my own home, I have been hunting ways to keep my house clean and organized from the start. I picked this book up awhile ago, when I joined a book club, but never really used it until recently.When I first opened it, I was amazed at the photographs. There are a great variety, illustrating cl...

I recieved an iPod Touch as an early birthday gift from my husband. I'm a tech junkie, so upgrading from my iPod Nano was a big deal for me. The interface on the Touch is amazing, although I noticed that it isn't 100% responsive - sometimes I have to tap the same button several times, or it registers having touched a different one than I was going for. It's also a tad annoying that ...

I purchased these headphones as a stylish alternative to the earbuds that come with the iPods. I chose the pink pair, but the Lowriders come in many colours which is really nice. The sound quality is amazing, and they are very comfortable. The only issues I have noticed is that the don't fit me perfectly - I have a small head, so they occasionally slide backwards or forwards, and the ear pa...

I recently got a very energetic German Shepherd-Husky mix puppy, and was looking to learn new training methods that would work with his energy level and temperment. I like to avoid using violence or fear in training, so this book seemed appropriate for my style. The book itself is only for obedience training, however the copy I have includes a forward with a good outline on how to house train a...

I have had the LG Chocolate Pink for about 6 months, and I absolutely love it. I upgraded for a RAZR, and I found the keys to be much easier to use - however, if you have large fingers, you may find it a bit difficult, as they are pretty small. I love the touch-sensitive buttons on the front, it's a neat feature that works very well. The reception is good, and the phone is a good size - big...

I am studying photography and hoping to get into freelancing or photoshoot-type work, so a few months ago I decided to upgrade from a point-and-shoot camera to a DSLR. After researching the brands, I decided on this model, the Canon Digital Rebel XTi. It is smaller and lighter than other DSLR cameras on the market, and has a slightly lower price. It takes photos up to 10.1 megapixels, which is ...

I generally have trouble when it comes to foundation. I can never get the shade right, many cause me to break out, and I have very dry skin that gets flaky, and many make this even more unsightly. I had been considering buying mineral make up, but the expense of many set turned me off. When I heard L'Oreal had released one, I decided to give it a try.The product is very good. They have a go...

My daughter just turned five months, but by four she had decided she preferred sitting up to laying down or reclining. So I started looking for an activity centre to give her new things to see and do.I mainly decided on this one because ate the time, we were about to move and lose access to public transit and the car, and it was the only one available when we were at the store. After we moved w...

After moving to our own home, my husband and I realized we needed a printer. Having previously used an old Canon bubblejet and an HP lazer printer, we weren't really sure what all we needed. Although we already have a scanner, we decided that with limited desk space it was better to have an all-in-one printer. Because we live in a small town, we didn't have much selection, so we decided...

I have terribly dry skin, especially in the winter. My hands are particularly bad, so I spend a lot of time looking for lotion and cream to help. On a recent trip to my local Dollarama, I found a small bottle of the St. Ives Collagen Elastin Advanced Body Moisturizer, and decided to give it a try.It has a light scent, which is bad for some people but I like it myself. It is not too heavy, but a...

After purchasing an iPod, I decided I wanted a dock so I could listen to it at home as well as charge it without needing my computer. Being that I run my day fairly time-regulated, I decided a clock radio dock would be perfect for me. So, after checking out several models, I decided on the iHome iH5 Clock Radio, and I love it!The radio is well designed, very sleek and while there are a lot of b...

When preparing to move into my new home, I began stocking up on cleaning products so I would have everything I needed from the start. Vim has always been a staple in my parents' homes, so I decided to buy a bottle to take. When shopping, I came across Vim Gel with Baking Soda, and decided to give it a try.This is a very good product. It foams well so you don't need a lot, and it works e...

My oldest daughter hates, HATES having her hair brushed. Whether it was fresh out of the bath or a couple days old, getting her to sit to get her hair brushed was a huge battle. She hates when I try to brush out tangles. So, I decided to look for a solution, and I found it in Johnson's Buddies Easy-Comb Spray.The product smells great, is easy to apply in the spray bottle, and works great. A...

One of my goals for 2009 is t get my finances in order and begin the process of getting out of debt. I've never been ver organized, and that goes for my important documents as well as the rest of my home. So I decided it was time to set up a small filing system for bills and important documents that would be easily accessible so that I would actually take the time to properly put away paper...
