Biofreeze is for pain relief. It soothes aching muscles and is also great for neck, back pain and arthritis pain.I received a sample of this at a products fair booth and loved it! I went out and bought the larger size. I love this product. It penetrates deeply and allows for long lasting pain relief. Also, it's so gentle on the skin that it doesn't burn your skin while re...

I have purchased more colognes in my lifetime than I would like to admit. Eternity for Men is one of the best of the bunch. A long-lasting, refreshing scent paired with a great price value, who could ask for more?Eternity for Men is a light scented cologne with an air of flowers. One of the more feminine colognes I have purchased, Eternity outlasts most other men's colognes on the market. T...

While I have never actually seen where the Vanilla Musk by Coty is directed toward men, I have always found it in the men's cologne department. I fully admit this with the knowledge that I may be wearing a women's cologne. The Vanilla Musk by Coty is a strong scent drown in vanilla beans with just a hint of musk. I am a true believer in the art of voicing who you are through a scent and...

I've had this Nalgene for years -- I believe I originally purchased it in 2003, for a trekking trip in the Himalayas -- and it's been more than a water bottle for me. It's practically an accessory. I never leave home without it! It's very durable (I've accidentally dropped it a thousand times, and you can hardly see a scratch on it, I guess this is thanks to the Lexan plasti...

I bought my first Nalgene a few months ago and I am loving it. This super tough and durable water bottle is excellent for camping, hiking, mountain climbing, travelling and any outdoor activities. It can be easily cleaned and able to resist staining. I can pour boiling water right into the water bottle immediately without worrying it will melt. It can provide warmth to my body at night by slipp...

I have never been a big purchaser of Avon products but I saw this particular perfume and knowing how much I like the smell of musk I thought I would give it a try.  It seems I tend to lean toward musk scented perfume in the fall of each year.  I purchased my Avon Soft Musk 1.7 oz bottle locally from an Avon representative for $6.99  The bottle is very plain and simple with clear ...

My wife purchased this candle at our local Yankee Candle store.  The candle is the 14.5 oz jar. The scent that she decided on was the Sparkling Vanilla.  When she got home she immediately lite the candle.  Within a few minutes our living room was smelling a wonderful vanilla scent.  Whenever we walk into the living room it smells just like someone has been baking with vanill...

The relatively new, yet popular, designer Juicy Couture has struck gold, once again, with their Juicy Couture Perfume. Available in 3.4 and 1 oz., I opted for the 3.4 oz. Unlike some perfumes, Juicy has kept true to its brand and made a unique scent. The fragrance of watermelon, mandarin, pink passion fruit, marigold, green apple, crushed leaves, and many other diverse scents, create a truly am...

 I bought this blender for my brother this last Christmas. He had mentioned to me that he had a blender, but it leaked and he was so annoyed by trying to fix it with a new gasket that somehow did not solve the problem. He has had this blender since the 70s! It was a Hamilton Beach blender with that awful gold color popular in that era along with the avocado green. He loves the de...

Ever since I was a little girl, I had been fascinated by the movie The Wizard of Oz. As I grew into adulthood, my fascination changed but did not dwindle, and when I learned about the book, The Annotated Wizard of Oz (Centennial Edition) I HAD to have it!This book is no lightweight! With  nearly 400 pages enclosed in a hardcover if I drop this baby on my foot it will hurt! The book itself ...

When I was growing up, The Wizard of Oz was on once a year during the week before Thanksgiving. It was a family tradition to make Jiffy Pop popcorn and watch it together. It has been a while since I had seen it but I always had fond, but distant, memories of this classic film. I thought it would be fun to share the movie with my 4 & 5 year old. While I remember some things about the film, m...

Imagine my surprise and delight when my son painstakingly saved his allowance money in order to purchase me a precious gift that he knew I would love.$60 is a lot of money for a child and I would never expect for him to part with that much money for a single gift, but he did. He knew that two of my favorite things were the Wizard of Oz and snow globes, so he put them together and came up with t...

My wife and I went to the Yankee Candle store at our local mall searching for a Christmas gift for my step-mother.  It is really hard to buy for her because she has everything she wants and if she needs anything else she can go out and buy it.  My wife and I decided that we would go the candle route.  We both saw this nice looking gift box that we knew she would love.  It ha...

I love Softsoap Antibacterial Hand Soap, and my favorite fragrance is vanilla. It's nice to be able to buy the small individual bottles, with the pump dispenser, and I often do from time to time. But it is much more economical to buy the large 64 oz. refill bottle. My biggest complaint is that it is difficult to find the scent you prefer, in the refill bottles. The selection is very li...

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: A Commemorative Pop-Up, by L. Frank Baum with art by Robert Sabuda, is an amazing book.  Most people are familiar with the story because of the movie, but Sabuda's twisting, popping, jumping artwork illustrates the story in new and interesting ways.  Each page has one large illustration popping off the page, and the pages are flanked with mini-books tha...

Acne Free created a great three-step treatment system that helps you achieve clear skin. It is very similiar to the ingredients in the Proactiv formula but is priced at a lot less.I have had some acne problems so I decided to give Acne Free a try. After using it every day, I started to see my skin clear up in about a week. It comes with a facial cleanser that you first wash your face with. Then...

My husband bought me this candle for my birthday.  It is creamsicle scent, which is a swirl of french vanilla and juicy orange.  I love the scent!  I lit it upand really enjoy the sweet s mell it emits...makes me want to eat orange sherbet!  I am a little disappointed with the scent strength as it doesn't seem to travel as far as I would like it to.  I do have ...

The Method products are very nice. Lightly sented but could be a little stronger. Good for people who do not like strong scents. The ingredients are very natural. The dish soap has: a blend of naturally derived and biodegradable surfactants, corn alcohol, table salt, citric acid, light stabilizer, aloe vera gel, vitamin e, fragrance oil blend, preservative (under 0.1%), color and puri...

The Healing Garden ZZZtheraphy Body Lotion has been one of my favorites for years.   It was given to me as a gift and since then, when I run out---I buy some more. The lotion itself isn't real thick like you would imagine.   It's thinner than most body lotions.  In fact, it's named Silk Pajamas and that's exactly what it feels like on my skin.   I h...

I bought this Sure Unscented Invisible Solid men's Deodorant at Walmart a few weeks ago. It is 2.6 ounces. I bought it because the price was right, at around $2.00 it was a little cheaper than most brands of men's deodorant. I also picked this one out because I was looking for something unscented. I prefer an unscented deodorant because the scented ones clash with your after-shave or co...
