We recentley repainted my living room, hallway, hall bathroom and a bedroom (including the ceilings). We have used the cheaper paint from Wal-Mart and decided to buy the more expensive brand from Lowes. We decided on the Rolls Royce of paint, Olympic. It costs $110.00+tax for a 5 gallon bucket. Which I think is ridiculously expensive. I liked that the smell was not really strong, but it is pain...

I decided last year to try out the mystic tans done at tanning salons. It is a safer alternative to laying out in the sun or tanning in a tanning bed. The spray tan consist of a bronzer, aloe vera, and DHA (a color additive approved by the FDA). The mystic tan Mystic tan offers three different levels of tan- slighlty dark, medium dark, and really dark.I am fair but do not burn su...

Premier Designs is a company that sells High Fashion jewelry through home jewlery parties.  I have bought quite a few pieces of their jewelry and have always been very satisfied. My grandma gave me these earings for Christmas. My picture does not do the earrings any justice. They are beautiful. They are silver hoop earrings with sparkle stones all around them. They are not heavy....

I don't know if we are just extremely hard on vacuums or if they do not make them like they used to but it seems like we have to buy a new vaccum at least 2 times a year. Recently my vacuum broke and my grandma bought this vacuum from an infomercial. I am not sure how much it costed but I did see that you could buy them from Target for about $169. She bought this because it was buy one get ...

  I am very interested in alternative medicine. I also happen to work in the healthcare field. I would advise anyone to talk to their doctor before taking any kind of new medicine. I tried St. John's Wort at the recommendation of my mother-in-law. This is cheap I bought a bottle for $3.68+tax of 100 capsules at Wal-Mart.  The bottle says it is suppose to "help promote a posit...

I like so many other people are trying to lose weight this year (like I have been the last 5). I would like to get rid of my stomach weight after having my youngest son- who is now 5, wa-wah-waaah. My mom bought me 3 cases of the Equate Ultra Weight Loss Shakes. They come in three different flavors: chocolate, french vanilla, and strawberries 'n cream. I got one of each. Personally I think ...

I have used hot oil treatments in the past but it has been a while. I bought these at Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market because they were the only brand I could find. The first thing I noticed was that I could not find the brand I used to use- Tresemme. Secondly, WOW the price has gone up and you only get 2 tubes instead of 3 like you used to. I am not a hair styling expert but my thoughts are (and ...

Every winter time I have horrible sinus/ allergy and cold problems. I  have been taking Dayquil for a cold that I have I have been battling. I bought the liquid gel caps (20 per box) from Wal-Mart. They are a little pricey but work pretty good for me. My mom has taken these and says they do not work at all for her. These pills are non-drowsy and they did not hype me up like some pills...

I have allergy/sinuses pretty bad. I have tried lots of different over the counter medicines. A while back I grabbed a box of Wal-Phed Maximum Strength at Walgreens. This just did not work for me. It helped relieve my symptoms (runny nose, itchy eyes, sinus pressure) for only about two hours. The active ingredients are-  Guaifenesin 200 mg in each Caplet , Phenylephrine HCl 5 mg in each ca...

I have used many different brands of recordable DVD's. I found this off brand at my local Aldi's store by the checkout.I did not know Aldi's even sold recordable DVD's and I just happend to see these one day. As far as I know Aldi's is the only place that sells this brand. For only 10 DVD's it was only $4.99+tax. Considering the price of name bra...

It is tax time once again. We personally look forward to getting our tax money back to pay bills- like so many other people. We used Liberty Tax Service 2 years ago and they were fine. We did not have as good of luck this year. We should have stuck with who we used last year- H&R Block. The wait in the tax office was long, but not suprising. We opted to go ahead and pay a little more f...

For those of you who suffer with heartburn, I feel for you. Recently I went to a doctor about chest pain and I swear my heart was fluttering. Being only 25 I figured it was only stress. This very nice doctor (who I will not see again) wanted to set me up with some very expensive tests to determine if I had a heart murmur he could not hear on his stethoscope. Granted there always is a small chan...

 My sweet puppy Lexi is my princess. I love everything about her except that she smells like a dog even after a bath and her occasional morning breath (still working on that). I happened to be at my local Wall-mart in the pet section when I stumbled across Lu Pink dog accessories. I thought the packaging was stylish and for the price it seemed like a good deal. For $9.99+ tax I got the sha...

There are only two make-up products I absolutely can not live without- mascara and lip gloss. I really like this mascara. It is as good if not better as some of the pricier ones I have used. I picked it up at Dollar Tree for $1 ( I just love bargain deals). I think this is sold at Wal-Mart also.It is easy to apply and does not clump. It does not say it is waterproof but can be pretty ...

My oldest son has very sensitive skin. To make matters worse he gets mosquito bites that swell up during the summer. I usually have to spray bug spray on him before he even goes outside- yep sadly he is the smelly kid. I have also had to take him to the doctor many times for medicine. Bugs just love to nibble on him. One day my grandma told me she had found this pine tar soap that would probabl...

I am not really a perfume wearer, but a few weeks ago at Kohl's I was smelling new perfumes and fell in love! Victoria Beckham's new perfume Intimately Beckham is great. I hated the Intimately Beckham for men, but loved the one for women. It is light and sweet but not overbearing. One spray of this perfume lasts all day. The only reason I did not buy the perfume that day at Kohl's i...

I got this conditioner from my stay over the summer at Wyndham Hotel & Resorts. This is the conditioner that was left in our condo for us. I was so excited because it is true blue spa's conditioner made by Bath & Body Works exclusively for Wyndham. I have never tried any True Blue's products before but if this conditioner is any indication I am not really a fan. The smell is bla...

 I have wanted a new printer for forever but just did not want to break down and spend the money on something I really did not need. My old printer was still holding out- barely. One day  I was at Wal-Mart buying black ink (which is $18) for my old printer when I seen this nice Hp All-in-one printer for $24. I bought the printer instead of the ink. I am really glad I did. It is a...

This is a mouthwash I found on sale at USA Drug for $3.99. I have been using it for about three weeks now. The directions say to swish for 30 seconds before brushing. As far as taste goes this is one of the better tasting mouthwashes, well at least the Fresh Mint flavor is. This mouthwash is supposed to remove tobacco tar from teeth and kill germs that cause bad breath. While it does do what it...

While Koltov is not a Gucci or Louis Vitton, they do make stylish and affordable purses for everyone. This was actually a gift and I really like it but it is just to small for me. I like a big purse to hold all my goodies. It is black and could go with your little black dress or be suitable to dress down with jeans. The price tag was still on it when it was given to me and its normal retail pri...
