Ok, well I used baking soda for my acne, and it was the best spend dollar I have ever spent! I would use it once a day(at night) and immediatly saw dramatic results. In about five days all of my acne was gone. I was really happy with the results. But ...the baking soda burned my skin. By "burned" I mean discoloration, peeling, and acne scars. Dark acne scars, that are very noticable. ...

I have always wondered if the Betty Crocker Bake N Fill was as easy as it looked. I never bought one because of the price and the fact that I do not make that many cakes in the first place. I just happened to find it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond on clearance for a great deal and decided to try it. My first attempt was to make a two flavor ice cream filled cake. It took a few minutes to figure out w...

I love cookbooks and when I saw this one at Target a few weeks ago, it had a great look so I purchased it. The book has close to 400 pages and hundreds of full page color pictures. The book is divided into sections based on different types of baked goods as well as an introduction section and an index. The chapters are Coffee-Time breads, Savory Breads, Busy-Day Cookies, Cookie Bar Magic, Choco...

As a bread baker and pizza aficionado, I've had a real problem replicating the thick chewy crusts found in the best commercially produced artisan breads. And homemade pizzas, lacked that necessary crispness. Home kitchens just don't have the capabilities commercial ovens do.A neighbor turned me on to  bread/pizza stones as a way to lift my breads from ordinary to sublime. These han...

I love the Home Interiors brand Baked Apple Pie jar candle. It is the only candle I have found that has the best and most unique apple pie scent on the market. When I light this candle up, the smell of fresh baked apples and cinnamon fills the whole house. I have had company over and they swear that I have been baking all day! The jar the candle comes in is cute with a country flair design...

Back then in college, I started to try making my own cakes and cookies. It was because of my cousin that I was interested in this cookies/cake making. She loved to stay at our house, sometimes for days. At these times she would bring her own tools for the baking, even her gas oven! (my mother doesn’t like making cakes/cookies, but she loves to cook meals). My cousin even took a cake/cooki...

I use these Silicone liners when I make cookies, bisquits, rolls, chicken or fish. I simply place one onto my  baking sheet, place  my  cookie dough, bisquits or whatever on them and cook accordingly...nothing will stick and my cookies  slide right off the sheet without a hitch. I especially like to use them when making dinner rolls. I had a problem with the b...

I have been a user of The Pampered Chef Baking Stones for over twelve years. I do not own every size and shape offered, but the few I do have can be used to meet any of my baking needs. The medium round baking stone (13 inch diameter) was the first stone I purchased and I admit I was a bit hesitant about using it. You have to season your stone the first few times and that can be done ...

Physician's Formula Baked Collection eye shadows are a great invention in make-up. Baked on actual terra-cotta tiles, these small orbs of eye shadow can be applied either wet or dry. The dry application is lighter and perfect for day wear. The wet application is longer-wearing and adds deeper and more dramatic color. Both applications have a bit of shimmer that brightens the eye. Ava...

The scent of Tide baking soda pure essentials literally make me say "mmm" . The white lilac is refreshing, yet soft, and doesn't cause my skin to itch - as a lot of laundry detergents do. I love the packaging, very simple - white - clean! I love the fact that I am able to place it on a shelf and use the nozzle and the cup to pour the detergent into the laundry, without this, ...

I bought this baking stone to use at home because we like to make a lot of cookies, and I thought it would work well for that purpose.I do like this baking stone's size- it is 12 inches by 15 inches, which allows me to fit at least a dozen cookies on it while baking, and I can easily fit a frozen pizza on it to make, and the crust turns out nice and crispy on the baking stone.  The dir...

These have got to be the best candles ever. I love this particular brand more than any other. My favorite scent is the baked apple pie. It smells just like the real thing.The scent is strong enough that you will smell it for as long as the candle is burning. If you walk outside and come back in that aroma hits your nose immediately and there is no mistaking where it's coming from. I put one...

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...

 I started using Ultrabrite because I was looking for a better toothpaste. I am a coffee drinker. I needed a stronger toothpaste. I like this product. It cleanses and freshens your mouth. I like the baking soda and peroide ingredients. I do have whiter teeth when using it. I like the fact that it is better for my gums. It helps stop plack buildup. I think it is a fantastic value. I have ne...

I absolutely love Febreze Air Effects: Vanilla & Baking scent. Not only does febreze deodorize your home and get rid of funky, must ordors it also comes in some really great scents. Vanilla is a great scent for those who dislike floral or heavy perfumy scents and who doesn't like the smell of fresh baked cookies. After cleaning the house for company I used this spray and my guests loved...

The Easy Bake Oven has been around for years, and my sister loves hers as much as I loved mine and my mom loved hers.  Though I know there are a few upgrades to this, we wanted my sister to have the same one we had so we bought this classic looking one. An Easy-Bake Oven is a great way to spend quality time with a litte girl. My sister gets so excited anytime anyone will let her cook a cak...

This is a wonderful cookbook but it is not only a cookbook.  The photographs, personal accounts, and history of the foods makes it much more than a cookbook.  It is like a foodie tour around the world.  The pictures are breathtaking and the nonfood information is fantastic.  It is over four hundred large pages of perfection.Each chapter puts the type of baking into a differe...

Silicone baking boards from QVC: I have mixed feelings about these boards. They are made out of what feels like rubber but is really silicone. You can bake cookies on these sheets and they won't stick. Here's the problem: They scared the daylights out of me the first time I used one. I made the mistake of watching it in the oven. It smelled funny as the cookies baked. The baking sheets ...

I should have posted this review before Christmas, because that is the season when gingerbread houses abound.  Well, this book will come in handy for this upcoming Christmas.If you are interested in learning how to bake and build gingerbread houses, this is the book for you.  Gingerbread Houses - Baking and Building Memories is by Nonnie Cargas, and is a great book to get you on ...

This cake tester is probably not something you absolutely need to have in your kitchen: after all, you can always use a toothpick to check whether your cake is done, as I had been doing for years. Then I got this very thin, stainless steel cake tester from Pampered Chef (it was a free promo gift). Is it better than a toothpick? I would say yes: it is much longer (7 3/4 inches), which ...
