This book is targeted towards single women or those who get tired of waiting for their men to fix things. My former husband had no clue when it came to fixing anything around the house and I was tired of paying repairmen for things I knew we could do with some guidance. The day after the book arrived, I was home alone while my husband was on a business trip overseas. So, what do I do?  I d...

I was going for window shopping in the watson. In that time this Uebos Hand Repair & Care got the promotion (usd3).

So, I did buy that for the trial of myself.I did use this cream on my hard palm and it rereally work! it's really good. I'm quiete impressed for the res...

I love this Hot Oil Treatment.  It leaves my hair shiny and in great condition.  If your hair is looking dull and lackluster, start using this hot oil treatment every week and you will be pleased at the change in your hair.  It is so easy to use.  I put it on dry hair (no need to preheat), saturate my hair with it for about a minute, and shampoo and rinse.  It is aloe-e...

There are natural botanical oils such as macadamia nut, rosehip, and lavender, which have antioxidants in them. Other ingredients included help promote elasticity in your skin and prevent wrinkles from environmental aging. These healthy ...

I purchased this ointment at a dollar store locally. I am not sure what it would cost at a department store, but I am sure I saved a substantial amount. I saw a price of $5.89 on the Internet. It contains Shea Butter and Tea Tree Oil. I had heard of African Shea Butter and knew it was a "luxury" item, but had never tried it before. The first thing I noticed when I opened the jar was t...

The salon I work at always gets trial size samples when a new product is launched. As a colorist, I'm usually not a huge fan of pureology conditioners because they are not moisturizing enough for chemically treated hair. They have finally figured out the right formula though because this product is packed with rich ingredients such as soymilk and biotin. My own hair is double processed blon...

I bought this lotion cum whitening lotion cum sunscreen during my last visit to Thailand as I have forgotten to bring my lotion. Since the weather that time was permissible, it was still hot, humid and weird.Thank goodness for the ever ubiquitious Watsons in Bangkok that I managed to find not only a lotion but also a whitening and sunscreen lotion all in one.It has a very nice scent, more like ...

Okay, let me start off by saying I am NOT an Arbonne consultant.  I just recently got a sample pack at a party of the RE-9 product line, but figured I would never buy the stuff because the prices are insane (for me anyways), but i tried it all anyways. WOW, WOW, WOW!  I actually REALLY enjoyed all the products (except the night creme -- too heavy for me), but the eye creme was ju...

 My sister in law Gail, had told me a few months ago about Avons newest line of anti-aging products. She praised the results so highly, I was frankly surprised. This is a woman who is very sparing with her praise of anything beauty related. So I was delighted to receive the entire Anew Ultimate line at Christmas. I am so impressed by them!!!The basic program using Anew Ultimate begins with...

I hit the bottom of my Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion and knew the time had come for me to buy a new cream. I received a coupon for a free Neutrogena product up to $20.00 in the mail about a week or so ago. I got that rebate because I wrote to them about their Healthy Defense SPF that tended to clump up on my skin (Yuck). So I figured, I would use the coupon to get a Neutrogena item. I knew f...

My hands are slowly catching up with my "real age." I have always loved Fruits and Passions products, the same way I love The Body Shop's stuff. What caught my attention initially was the way this hand butter has been packaged. It's in a small container (100 g) with a very quaint label and a nice tin cap. I tried the tester and was surprised to get a "feel" of it'...

 The OptiFix Pro CD clean and repair system looked good in the store. The box said that the machine would clean CDs, DVDs, and a selection of game disks. The cleaner came with simple, four step instructions. I followed them and the DVD I tried was still as scratched as before. I put it in the DVD player and it skipped in all of the same places as it did  before the cleaning....

The appeal of the Orchard Bank card is great for those of us who have shaky credit ratings.  They'll approve just about anyone!  Having ruined my credit in my reckless youth, I was anxious to rebuild and Orchard Bank was the first to give me that chance.  They start you with a low limit, which is for your protection as well as theirs because the interest rate is a bit high--I...

This product was being heavily advertised on TV, so I thought I would give it a try.  The term "rapid repair" really caught my attention, from all the swimming that I do, I thought this would be the appropriate product.  However, I was a little bit disappointed, I was expecting extraordinary results, which was a mistake on my part. The scent was very mild and the product d...

The kit comes wih three putty sticks, one glove, and instructions. It bonds and repairs almost any surface including, aluminum, fiberglass, glass, PVC. met...

Replacing my torn window screens myself is easy if I have the right tool. A Spline Roller Tool looks like a miniature pizza cutter. And a spline looks like a long, gray or black string of rubber spaghetti. The spline is what holds your screen in place in the frame, but it's very hard to shove the spline and new screen material down into that little 1/8" frame groove...

Can Shoe Goo rescue my X-Country Ski Boots?  Read how I put it to the test.NovemberMy cross-country ski boots are old and by most people’s standards, worn out.  But they fit me, so I decided to try to repair them.  As you can see in the second photo, one toe had pulled away from the sole of the boot quite badly.  The other toe just needed sealing.I had never used Shoe ...

These thin, vulcanizing bicycle tire repair patches are really the only kind of patches that create a reliable repair on a high-pressure tube.  Don’t leave home without them!For 22 years my husband and I led bicycle touring road trips.  This is the only kind of patch kit that we found to be reliable.  At that time they were made in Germany. (I believe they sold under the na...

Are you finally growing tired of shelling out so much money for lawn service with really nothing to show for it because your lawn just doesn't seem to change. In fact the only really change you notice is right after it rains it gets greener (and the company hasn't been there for a few weeks and doesn't have an appointment until next week)?  Well I have a great production you ca...
