I bought this tape when I was planning on quitting smoking.  I like Jane Fonda's tapes, and I thought that I would need a lot of help with stress reduction after I quit.I ended up, though, not using the video quite the way I thought I would.  It contains three distinct parts -- a low-impact aerobics section, a stretching section, and a guided relaxation session.  I ended up d...

The full description of this lens is as follows:  Nikon Zoom Telephoto AF VR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Nikkor IF-ED AF-S Autofocus Lens with Vibration Reduction.  One of my most recently purchased lenses for my Nikon D50 was this 70-300mm- I LOVE this lens so far!  It does have a bit of a learning curve, so I highly suggest reading the manual before using it, and it helps to have a...

All you tight wads out there, I can here you now "$20 for a filter..that's insane!"  But, let me tell you (one penny pincher to another), it is worth EVERY PENNY!Both my son and I have horrible allegies.  We both actually should be on allergy shots but I am avoiding that like the plague.  Five years ago a poorly supervised nursing student gave me about 100 x the amo...

I have always been a victim of oily skin thanks to my over active oil glands that keep on producing sebum even after I wash my face with medicated cleansers. My dermatologist has put me to hormone therapy but to no avail. i have been hopeless, having breakouts here and there, and having very oily skin! I always carry around with me those oil control films but they don't really help as moments l...

Being on a budget is no fun, but if you have the right software, it can at least be manageable.  Previously, we had owned Microsoft Money and when our "online" services ended with that particular software package, i began researching to find out if MS was still the best fit for us.  I ended up going with Quicken based on some personal recommendations as well as online review...

The best lens I've ever used. Alright, so I'm not a professional, but this lens is amazing. I used to have the kit lens, both the 18-55 and 55-200 (as well as a few lenses from a film nikon), but 55 is pretty much the sweetspot, you take wildlife and you want more zoom, and for many scenery shots you want less. Switching lenses is a pain, time consuming, and often results in a dirty sen...

In the midst of all the frenzy to prepare for an upcoming family wedding I decided to take some time to check out my makeup requirements and determine whether or not I could upgrade my normal everyday look to something a little more sheik and sophisticated.  The wedding was an evening affair to be held in a little historical town that is known for it's beautiful landscapes and rich her...

While I was browsing the clearance make up section at Target I came across this interesting blemish concealer.  What attracted me to it was that it's designed to look like it's in a syringe and to get the concealer out you have to click on it.  Neat huh?  It was clearenced out to just over $5 so I tossed it in my basket and thought I would give it a try as I needed a new ...

I bought this Camper's Axe as a gift on the recommendation of the salesperson and several burly guys standing around at Cabela's.It is a high quality axe that can be used for a range of activities.  It can be used for chopping down trees, splitting firewood, and driving stakes or nails.  It is nicely balanced and at a weight of about 3.5 pounds, it is easy to carry around. Thi...

Listening to music through headphones while traveling on a plane or in a car or in a crowded, noisy place can be aggravating because it seems you can never hear anything.  Noise cancelling headphones made by Sony can help reduce the amount of outside noise you hear while listening to music.  The noise cancelling circuit can reduce the amount of sound from around you by 10 decibels.&nb...

I received L'Oreal Revitalift as a Bzz Agent campaign. The set included a day lotion (SPF 15) and a night cream. The bottles are beautiful and the pump dispenses the exact amount of lotion needed for one application.Unfortunately, I tend to have rather sensitive skin. I tried both the day and night cream about 5 times (not all consecutively). I really wanted to like this product and to have...
