I'm always on a quest to find a hair product that will smooth my wavy hair.   I find that if I ‘layer' products on my hair, I get the best results, because one product never does it for me.  I work in a hair salon, and one of the sales reps left a tube of Joico Silk Results Straight Smoother for us to sample.  Instead of using it on my clients, I decided to tes...

Avon Strong Results is not a polish, it's a liquid that you put on your nails to help strengthin them and help prevent breaking and peeling.  I have been using it for about 6 months and I have to say, it doesn't work!I have always had bad nails.  For some reason they just like to crack.  So when my avon rep called me and said I needed to try this product, I was so excited...

As a former rower who is used to extreme workouts and pushing your body to it's maximum limits, I have suffered from many back problems; therefore, my doctor recommended I try out pilates. I was not too excited by this because I am used to intense workouts and feeling the results right away. I wanted to try it on my own first, before taking a class, I went to the store not knowing much about ...

I just ordered this shampoo a few days ago from my sister, who is an Avon representative.  Her order came today, so I just used this shampoo for the first time. I have used other clarifying shampoos before, and never felt like they really worked, but this one does. It really got my hair clean, and free of product buildup.  The shampoo smells minty, like pepper...

Like many people, when the weight loss product Alli became available over the counter, I rushed out and picked up my own starter kit.  I read through the booklet, signed up at the online support website, and diligently read about the possible side effects.  Then, I waited three weeks before even taking the first pill.  As more information became available about the embarassing po...

The first thing that attracted me to American Cream was the smell.  It smells like the most delicious vanilla milkshake ever, and what's even better is that you will catch whiffs of it in your own hair until your next shower.  I kept using it because of what it does to my hair.  It conditions beautifully and naturally without weighing my hair down.  It leaves my hai...

I began to use melaleuca whiting toothpaste when a friend of mine who uses melaleuca products regularly recommended it to me.  He told me that I would notice a significant difference in my tooth color within the first 2 months of usage.  I am completely disastisfied with the results. My teeth are sadly as yellow as they used to be and no change in noticable whatsoever.  The tooth...

I recently tried many products and nothing worked.  I was browsing through Costco and saw the Acne Free product and decided to try it out.  Within three days I saw results.  Two times a day, 5 minutes or less is  all it takes for flawless skin.  You begin with a Purifying Cleanser, I usually do this step in the shower, than a Refreshing Toner applied with a cotton ball ...

PrintWorks labels seemed to be fine until the mail started to be returned because the labels were unreadable!                I have occasion to print an average of 150 labels a month.  When the brand I had been using was no longer available locally, I tried Printworks.  The packages clearly state “Guaranteed great resul...

I bought this product because it promised to easily clean stoves and kitchen counter tops, but it hardly lived up to its hype. I had to constantly keep spraying a large amount in order to clean a small area of the surface, let alone the whole kitchen counter. While trying to scrub away the grease stains from my stove, I had to spray a lot of the product just to get it relatively clean, let...

Once upon a time, I had lots of time to sit at the hair salon to have my hair color and highlights maintained and fussed over.  Unfortunately, with my current schedule of kids' activities, work and everyday life, that's no longer the case.  So while I was in Walgreen's late last week, I decided to pick up some haircolor to freshen up my 'do.  I...

I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes during my pregnancy and was given a FreeStyle Lite Glucose Meter to test my blood sugar levels during the day.  I was so hesitant about doing my own testing but quickly learned it was no big deal.  The device you use to poke your finger that contains the lancet has 4 different settings which control how deeply the needle will puncture the...

I've been going to the gym for about 2 years straight now and have just recently started using free weights. I wish I had known about their benefits when I first started! It could have saved me a whole lot of time. I had been using the machines to work my back, arms, chest and other parts of my body. But after being shown how to use free weights the proper way, I won't ever go back! Whi...

In it's own words, Dutch Blitz is a "vonderful goot game," that's "such vonderful goot fun"!This game is for 2-4 players, or up to 4 two-person teams.  It contains four decks of cards that contain 40 cards each.  Each deck has 10 cards in each colour--blue, yellow, green, and orange--are are labled 1-10.  The object of the game is to get rid of a small...

MY STORYOne day, long long time ago, back in my early highschool days, my best friend and I decided to wax together for the very first time.  We've both shaved before, but have tried nothing else at the time.  My best friend's leg hair is super thick.  My leg hair, on the other hand, is super thin.  They were similar length though.  Didn'...

Hi Friends. A couple of years back when my son Alex started playing baseball in Australia his team didn't have a scorer,so I volunteered to do it. I have been scoring baseball games for a long time, but I have never taken the time to learn to score in colors. When I put my hand up to do it this time,the head scorer for his baseball club suggested I try to learn it,as this makes it so much e...

This is two-sided glossy presentation paper that can be used in a laser printer.  I have been very happy with the resulting prints.A few years ago I needed to be able to make near photo-quality color prints without a photo printer, or an inkjet printer.  That’s mainly because I have a very good color laser printer.  Who knew that it would be really hard to find paper to acc...

When I finally decided it was time for a new washer and dryer, I was not sure what I wanted. I was drawn to a couple of big name brands that looked good, but the prices were outrageous and the reviews I found were not encouraging. My brother is  a contractor and is always buying appliances for his projects and he's gotten to know which ones are better than others, at least in his exper...

We are bombarded with suggestions to eat more fruits and vegetables. Just go to the store and pick out your favorite greens and fruits, no problem. Bring them home and store them and here comes the problem. You can either heap several sides of vegies on your unsuspecting family with their meals for the next few days so you use up the vegetables and fruits before they spoil and while they are st...

This collar is working fairly well to keep the fleas off the front half of the dog.  I think if we had realized the flea problem before it got so bad that it would be showing much better results.We are having a really bad flea year at our house.  And I admit that I didn’t notice until it was pretty much out of control.  Even so, I am not attacking it with the strongest, mos...
