My children gave my hubby and I this beautiful crystal photo cube for our anniversary present.  It has the etched picture of the two of us from a Hawaiian Luau.  I know the picture is hard to see but if you can imagine a clear crystal with an etching inside of it.  If you look at the side view you can see how the etching was inserted.  I have a stand with lights for it ...

     If you are in driving distance of Hot Springs, AR. then this is a must. I mean 3-4 hour drive. This is a Theme Park and Waterpark together. Now I will tell you it is worth it if you are willing to spend at least 2-3 days, because a 1 day pass is only $10 cheaper than a season pass which is what we bought. The day pass is $49.99 and the season pass is $59.99 and children...

Crystal cat litter, made from biodegradable silica sand, is my favorite variety of cat litter. In case you've never experimented with it, crystal litters suck up any kind of moisture immediately. No moisture means no pungent cat urine smell or icky cat feces smell (the crystals dehydrate feces, which eliminates the smell). Since crystal litter was first released about a decade ago, pra...

I tried Crystal Light at a friend's house when she had a luncheon. I am not much of a tea drinker but since that was what she had to offer I tried it. I absolutely loved it. I was especially surprised that it was sugar free. I decided to buy it for myself. The downside is that it is relatively expensive. It is also the most popular of the fruit flavors of Crystal Light. If it is on sale you...

My best friend knows that I love to give myself manicures and pedicures so imagine my surprise when one day in the mail, she sent me a three piece crystal nail file set (she purchased it from QVC)!  I had never used or even heard of crystal files before (this was two years ago) but once I used them, I will never go back to traditional emery files.  Emery files tended to tear my nails ...

Perhaps I'm getting "old" or maybe just a little more picky with my movie choices but after seeing every Indiana Jones movie available I was looking forward to enjoying this fourth in the series but for some reason I wasn't as enthralled with this particular movie - even though I certainly expected to be,  given the period in which it took place and the adventure it was s...

 I am using a little bit old Windows XP version, it is modified Windows XP called Windows XP Crystal. They are made in 2006. (There are newer Windows XP Crystal than 2006)  What can I say about Windows XP Crystal? It is really fast. I never seen a lag with Crystal, I don't receive so many errors as I received with standart Windows XP Proffessional.   Windows XP Crystal h...

While in Bulk Barn one day I came across Crystal Deodorant Stones in the bath/soaps display. Trying to move towards products without parabens, sulfates and other harmful chemicals; I decided to give it a try. Initially the cost was a deterrent, but not after I started using it! So "What is a Crystal Deodorant Stone?", you might ask. Well it actually crystalized natural mineral salts t...

Hasbro has made many ponies, but the favorite around here in my house is the My Little Pony and of anyof their dolls/figures it is the Crystal Princess. This "horse" is designed to go out and be portable-our little one carries it all over. There are a few small parts to lose in the house, such as the brush and a few hair clips for the pony's...

Tidy Cats Scoop Crystals Blend is a product to use when you want a clumpable litter. I originally bought this litter to use in my self cleaning cat box. I later found out that you can't use crystals with this self cleaning box. So, now I am using this in our regular cat pan. I don't normally use a clumping litter, but this is nice. The crystals have a dehydrating property that helps the...

I have been using the General Electric Crystal Clear forty-watt light bulbs in my ceiling fan lights. You get two bulbs in a pack for under a few dollars at Wal-Mart. I usually use the regular sixty-watt soft light bulbs in the house, but these crystal clear bulbs just give a nicer look in the lights where the actual bulb is visible, such as the ceiling fans, chandeliers, and sconces. These are...

I have been using GE products for as long as I can remember. I can recalled mom and dad buying them when our light bulbs would go out at home and I remember back then there was only one standard light bulb. Well, as it turns out last weekend, my porch light blew out and I needed to replace it. I went to the store and looked through all of the choices available. I couldn't believe the c...

My husband and I are getting back to basics.  Ever since my husband developed his serious toe infection and landed in the hospital with his BP and blood sugar all out of whack (he's a diabetic), both of us have decided that it was time to get back to a healthier lifestyle.  Part of that lifestyle is using products on our bodies that are as natural as possible.When it comes to deod...

A friend recommended this product to me so I thought I would try it. It is said to kill odor causing bacteria and it is surprisingly effective. I should mention that before I purchased this product I went an entire week without deodorant. I took a shower and applied it to my underarms in any areas that I knew for a fact produced bad body odor. Just goes on clear and it isn't mushy. Althou...

I was shopping in Belk's the other evening, when I spied a 30% jewelry sale going on.  I can never resist a jewelry sale, so I marched right over to take a look.  I got the most beautiful necklace for the most incredible price.  It was originally $30.00, but I got it for $21.00.Now to describe it.  It is a deep royal blue necklace with 3 strands of the most beautiful Aus...

My mother-in-law gave me a very pretty blue crystal hair barrette for my birthday.  Blue happens to be my favorite color, so this barrette is perfect for me.It is a very simple oval design made up of sparkling blue crystals.  The hair clasp is very secure.  It opens easily and snaps shut tightly to keep my hair in place.  My mother-in-law informed me that she ...

I'm an avid PC gamer and a science fiction fan.  I'm always on the lookout for something new, so I downloaded the evaluation version of Crystals of Altaxia 2.  Crystals of Altaxia 2 promotes itself as a 3D adventure game, yet it's really a 2D game with 3D enhancements.  When you begin the game the program generates a random galaxy for you to explore.  Your task i...

With the percent of overweight people rising dramatically, it is increasingly important to watch one's diet. The number of sugar drinks on the market is astounding, so I searched for a drink that was very low in calories but still delicious. After trying a few different powdered drink mixes, I discovered Crystal Light Energy Wild Strawberry. I carry around a box with me everywhere! You just...

If in the Orange County area in California make sure to stop at Crystal Cove State Park. After a few days of sightseeing and visiting theme parks, we decided to take it easy and visit this beautiful state park. I am so glad we did. This is located off Pacific Coast Highway between Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach. It is 3 miles of coastline. To get here just park in the lot and then walk through...
