The Northwest can be a cold, windy and wet place to be for 6 months out of the year and I've always had problems keeping those cold drafts from getting into my older home.  In the past, I've used rugs, towels, and those cute little door draft animal things to keep the air from getting in under my front door.  These items all worked fine at keeping the cold air from c...

I use Rain and Stain Guard from Payless Shoe Source on all my fine leather and suede items. Specifically, my shoes, boots, and purse. It comes in a big 5 ounce spray jar, and the spray is made to shoot out at any angle, making it easier for me to get those harder to reach places. I have used it on suede boots, my leather jacket, and my leather purse. I have gotten excellent results from it. Dir...

I bought this Ultra Guard Sunscreen SPF 50 in Hawaii this summer.  I found that the sun is stronger in Hawaii than I thought.  I usually use an SPF of 8 or 15 in the summer but it was not protecting me enough in Hawaii.  I found this bonus package at Walgreens.  It has a full sized bottle of lotion along with a small travel size attached by a keychain hook.  I ...

Bare Escentuals cosmetics are famous as the first make-up line to use pure minerals in their make-up, from concealer to finishing powder.  The Lip Guards lip glosses are also mineral-based, and they also protect your lips when you're having fun in the sun, with a natural 15 SPF sunscreen.The Lip Guards are shown in the BE catalog and on Sephora as coming in only two sheer colors: Stins...

I bought this sunscreen to have one that I could put on really quickly. I don't quite trust it as much as I do my NO-AD sunscreen lotion most likely because I have had more time using the NO-AD product.  This particular one is a spf -50 which appears to be a good level of protection. It is broad spectrum UVB/UVA. It sprays at various angles and gives you quick ...

    Over the years I have purchased more than a few men's deodorant sticks for my husband. We are always trying to find a deodorant stick that will stop his sweating and make him smell great at the same time. Unfortunately for the most part, doing that is easier said then done. Most of the deodorants that we have tried only cover up the smell of the body odor. If that isn'...

So Cool! We have a 32" television that sits inside an entertainment center. Once the kids got up and moving and walking, it was time to start checking things out. Not me, the kids. They like to get into everything-open doors-push buttons-turn knobs. No....not the TV. They kept turning it off and pushing all the buttons across the bottom. I looked into safety items and found the coolest pro...

I bought my son a pair of Nike Soccer Shin Guards style number SP0121 a few years ago at Dunham's Sporting Goods. They are black and are a size medium/large. They come in all sizes. They are the kind of shin guard that go on like a pair of socks and have the actual shin guard right inside of them. At first my son didn't like the way they felt, but it was only because he wasn't used ...

Very interesting oil filter. For many years Fram has produced this oil filter. Its a filter I have used on many of my vehicles in the past. First of all let me say the best thing about it is the outer case. It is very hard and solid. I have never had one fall apart or get crushed by taking it off with a filter wrench. This is one area that this filter stands out from other low cost filters.&nbs...

Silicone Water Guard by Sno-Seal is one of the best spray-on waterproofing products. I have used it on tents, clothing, and boots.I’m not a fan of spray-on silicone waterproofing, but sometimes it’s the only thing that will do the trick.  For example, if you need to waterproof a nylon tent, it’s really the only sensible option.  If you still have an old canvas tent t...

I bought these for my little cousin at Nike town a few months back for his soccer practice. He's been wanting these guards for quite some time and I finally got the chance to purchase them before the soccer season started. I bought this guards in black and originally got a size Medium for him but as soon as I brought them to him to try on they were way too big. So that same exact day I went...

Recently while watching a reality show I noticed one of the things they were doing was working on a campaign for Right Guard Anti-perspirant Deodorant made by The Dial Corporation. When looking for this product I noticed Right Guard comes in many forms and scents.  You can find this deodorant in aerosol, solid and gel forms.The one I've tried was the new Right Guard Xtreme Clear. They ...

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...

I'm the kind of person who perspires a lot so I need a strong, long lasting deodorant to get me through the day without offending anyone's nasal cavities. That's why I use Right Guard Sport 3D Odor Defense. It promises 24 hour odor protection, sweat blockers, and odor blockers.This is the active invisible solid antiperspirant & deodorant. At 2. oz its taller than usual deodorant...

I don't know if I put this product in the correct category, the one I chose was the best I could find.Static Guard is a spray that removes static electricity from your clothing.  When I lived back east, I used this product quite often in the wintertime, because my clothes would pick up so much static.  Now that I am living in a warmer climate, I do not find myself needing it as mu...

I've always been a fan of the Power Stripe line of Right Guard deodorants. The first time I used them, I found that they lasted quite long, and had a pleasant but not overpowering fragrance.This variant, Cool Peak, is no exception. Its name may be a little misleading - it smells not of a cool mountain peak but more like a strong bar of soap. Do not let this deter you, however, as it does of...

Is Right Guard* Xtreme Fresh Blast right for you? Here's my experience with the deodorant Right Guard Xtreme, which I've used for several years quite happily and without any complaints. However, recently I tried another deodorant which made me see realize Right Guard Xtreme's effectiveness as compared to another brand. I'll keep the other brand a secret, but I will say...

I was looking for an oil-free sunscreen and I saw this on Avon's website. It comes in a blue bottle and goes on blue then changes to clear, which is great for kids to ensure you don't miss a spot. It has a fruity scent that's mixed with a slightly medicinal or chemical scent, but it soaked into my skin and didn't leave me too greasy, which I liked. I used this for the first time...

This was the second right guard product that I have ever used. The first right guard product I used was a dry solid, which worked reletively well, and the smell was amazing, but after a while it made my pitts itch. The gel of the right guard sport is very good at staying on, and stopping you from sweating, because it is wet. This deoderant left me smelling great, and dry. The only con I found w...

I use the Right Guard Extreme Sport with Power Stripe daily as my personal deodorant and anti-perspirant. I chose the Energy scent because it was the cleanest and freshest smell available. I don't know exactly what advanages the "power stripe" provides, but I know that as a deodorant, the Extreme Sport line from Right Guard is extremely effective. Also, the deodorant is very stron...
