My ex-husband recently bought a pool table from a friend of his. It came with the basic equipment but the balls were stained from chalk and the wooden rack was broken. Since I have a table too, he asked me where the closest store was that he could buy some replacement parts. I went to Walmart that afternoon and found the perfect kit for him.They carry a set by Sportcraft called the Billiar...

Cleaning around the house has always been a pain until I finally gave in and bought this Swiffer kit. The commercials made it seem easy, effective, and it wasn't too horribly expensive, so I decided might as well try it.First off, the handle of the mop is kind of fragile and can break easily if you go too hard on it. When it comes to doing the actual cleaning, however, the Swiffer Sweeper i...

I have always had perfect skin ,even as a teenager. All of a sudden in my early 30's I have develeped what I guess is called adult acne. It started with one reoccuring  trouble spot and then has progress to a  totally yucky pimple face. I tried proactive in high hopes that it would solve my acne problem. However After a 2-3 months  of using their whole daily program it h...

   This is the starter pack for the Thomas the Train Tank Engines. There are several different styles andn this one is the conductor pack which means it has the bridge, conductor shed and then the 3 cars with it to start (Thomas is not pictured). The price of $40 is extremely steap compared to other wooden train tracks. It is nice, but I do not think for the extra price that it is wor...

I recently went to the Bare Escentuals store to check out Mineral Makeup for the first time. I have problem skin, that tends towards oily and is known to get zitty if circumstances permit. I also have extensive experience with makeup and have worked as a professional makeup artist for a time, so I was not intimidated by the idea of applying powder foundation with brushes, nor with the prospect ...

I purchased this Avital Remote Car Starter system at my local Add On Accessory Outlet. I have enjoyed this system because I work late nights and come home around 2am and on those cold winter nights its very nice to start my vehicle from inside my office and wait about 10 minutes for my truck to warm up. My office is easily 200 ft away from my truck in the parking lot and it goes through co...

The Small Animal Kingdom Ferret Starter Kit may seem like decent cage at the time that you buy it. But you will soon see that the cage is not worth the $77.00 that Petco charges for it. The size of the cage is 22.5" L x 14.5" D x 28.5" H. Which is really not big enough for one ferret but is big enough for two or three rats. The cage includes a ,Water bottle, Ceramic bowl, Ferret ...

Now that the winter quarter is coming up in College I found myself having to buy a new back pack. I wanted a back pack that was comfortable to wear, fit to my back; big enough to carry my books, binder etc, and that had enough rooms for easy organizing. I also wanted a back pack that did not cost a fortune, and at K-Mart I found the perfect product – S Starter 19” sport backpack. ...

And if he owns a grill, er... that is uh, three grills, two smokers, an old hibachi and has a pit staked out in the back yard for spring construction, well, he might have to feed a few people every now and ...

 When I saw these on sale in the store for half price I was looking to purchase some freezer bags to begin with. I've always debated about getting a vacuum sealer to help prevent freezer burn and to make food last longer in the freezer but too cheap to spend the money. I also didn't need another item to store in my already too small kitchen.This kit came with a pump and 3 quart s...

I bought this starter deck at the Dollar Tree because well... it was only a dollar! I mean a starter deck for one dollar is a magnificent deal and even if it wasn't that fun, at least it was only one dollar wasted. You probably can't find this deal anywhere else though. I went into a game store and it retailed for $10. Well after opening it up, I can see why it was so cheap. The game wa...

I bought this Glade PlugIns Scented Oil Starter Pack after moving into my new apartment. New place deserves to smell nice, doesn't it? It wasn't too expensive at a cost of about $9-10.The warmer unit took up a bit of space, but it mostly made up for it by having two extra outlets on the side. I plugged in my phone charger into either one regularly and they worked with no problem. The wa...

WoW! I love this makeup. If you haven't heard, Bare Escentuals is a mineral makeup that is good for your skin. It is so easy to apply. I bought the starter kit, which came with an instructional dvd, 2 tones of skin color, base cream, warmth, which lends a really nice glow, and mineral veil, which is a setting powder. Everything applies the same way, using the included brushes. The first few...

 U.B.
