I bought this women's jacket this year spring. It was well into the season, so Walmart had these spring jackets on sale for $15 instead of the regular price of $19.88. I immediately liked the design: medium-long, with white cuffs and white inside the hood, which nicely offsets the main color. The available colors were light blue, light green, yellow, and black. I liked the green one at firs...

I am not a big fan of bootcut jeans, but they seemed to be the trend last year, so I had bought a pair for summer. I chose Faded Glory, a brand I often buy and am generally pleased with, stretch, tall, white color. They have this below-waist waistline, of course - for some reason it is so crazily popular these days that you can no longer find a pair with a normal waistline. I have learned to ac...

I bought this sports jacket for my wife. She wanted a light jacket for her daily walks, in case it gets windy, which happens quite often here in Midwest. She likes soft fleece jackets and sweatshirts, so I knew getting one of those would be the best. She also likes everything green. Following these two guidelines, I picked a light green (the actual name of the color is Mint Green) women's sport...

Like most women in my family I started going through menopause at an early age. When we discovered that I was menopausal, my doctor suggested I started taking a multi-vitamin and a calcium supplement. She said if I didn't want take 2 different pills that she recommended One A Day Womens Supplement with extra calcium.I bought these and started taking them about 2 years ago. I recently had a ...

I needed a neat professional outfit to go to a job interview. I did not have a lot of money available for that, so I went to Walmart, hoping they would have some kind of a not overly expensive business suit for women. They did; I picked this black suit by George.The suit includes trousers and a jacket. The quality is perhaps not the best, but as far as office-appropriate style and affodable pri...

My old pair of sandles finaly gave up the ghost last summer so with the weather starting to get warmer I was looking for another pair. I came across this pair at Walmart. They are made by a company called Earth Spirit. My mom actually has a pair  from this same company but they are not the same style I bought. The sandle has a earth/nature feel to them. All the styles were a brown or tan c...

If you need a good book be sure to pick up one of the books in the women's murder club series. These books get you hooked from the beginning. The plot is extremely interesting and fairly complex. The main character of this book is Lindsey Boxer, who is a detective for the San Francisco Police Department. She solves crimes with the help of her friends. Her best friend Claire is a medical exa...

Curves is a chain of fitness centers designed especially and exclusively for women.  When you walk into a Curves, it won't look like a typical gym.  First, you won't see any sweaty burly men.  And instead of a cavernous locker room, you'll find a line of demure, no-frills changing rooms.  The set-up is also much simpler than at your typical health club.  Ins...

    The  Gillette Venus  shaver for women does a great job. Eventhough it is expensive compared to disposables and the replacement blades are also expensive one blade lasts so long that the price becomes a non-issue. Even if you shave everyday one blade would easily last a month or more. The blade stays sharp and provides a smooth effortless shave use after us...

  The  Schick Quattro Shaver for women does a good job and is comparable in price to other women's shavers in the same category.  However, there are some things I don't like about it. It is a little heavy for a razor. This means you have to put forth more effort to hang onto it in the shower. It also needs more gripping on the sides to keep it from slipping when...

Eating the right amounts of nutrition doesn't automatically process in our brain daily and automatically guide us to the right amounts of iron, zinc, and etc. So we have those pesky things that we forget to take everyday called vitamins. Some vitamins work, some don't, and some are just way too expensive to buy. Well, you can look no further than Equate Women's One Daily. This dieta...

I enjoy a good fashion magazine at night while winding down the day.  I picked up a copy of "More" magaine while in an airport book shop to have that night to read.  I really just expected another typical women's fashion magaine, but was very plesantly surprised.  "More" is geared for the 40+ age group, which I am a part of.  Instead of fashion and ma...

This item comes in eight different colors, so there is sure to be a color that every woman can love. It is great for lounging around the house or running quick errands when she doesn't want to wear a heavy winter coat. Besides, performance fleece is what Old Navy is known for by most.  The pullover is very warm and great in the fall or early spring when paired with a scarf and gloves....

My husband bought me this perfume for my birthday this past Summer.  Let me say, he did an awesome job too!  This is totally my type of scent.  It smells a bit sweet but not too overpowering.  I actually went through the entire 1.0 oz. bottle in just a couple months.  I received many compliments on it generally from other men (bed my husband didn't expect that ...

I love perfume sets like this one. Estee Lauder is a rather expensive brand for me to buy, so I would think twice - no, ten times - before buying a full-size bottle of their perfume. This set of five mini-bottles gives me a perfect chance to try five different Estee Lauder fragrances. It is not cheap, either, but I get five instead of one, and if I don't like either one of them, it is ...

I was looking for something new, preferably light and floral, as I studied the perfume section at our local Walmart. I went through countless testers and sniffed countless prefume boxes that had those scratch & smell spots. I was not finding anything close. A sales lady came up and asked me if she could help; when I told her what I was looking for, she quickly pointed out Wind Song by Princ...

The Women's Regular Classic Stretch No-Waist Boot Cut Jeans by Lands End are a great pair of reasonably priced, stylish jeans.These are 5 pocket jeans, that sit slightly below the waist. They have a bit of a boot cut flare, which is nice because it helps make the shape of most people's legs balance out a bit. If you've ever watched "What Not to Wear" they always stress tha...

After smelling this on a friend of mine, I knew I had to have this perfume! I am normally not a perfume wearer as a matter of fact, I do not think I have worn perfume in years! This perfume has a blend of bergamont, orange flower, jasmine and coco de mer. I would describe it as a very seductive scent. The bottle I purchased was 2.5 ounces and cost about $55.00. However you can always catch spec...

I have used Gillette Sensor Excel For Women for quite a while, and I continue to use it, on and off. It has a nice, wide, non-slip handle, ergonomically designed and easy to hold in a wet hand, which makes me feel safer from getting cut. The razor heads, or cartridges, come with a special moisturizing slip that also has Aloe Vera and Vitamin E in it. They shave very nicely and smoothly. When a ...

I have spent my entire adult life chewing up Flintstones vitamins because the big adult vitamin pills were just too hard for me to swallow. Then Viactiv came out with the chews for both the calcium supplement and the multi-vitamin. Those were an improvement, but I didn't like the taste.One day I saw an internet ad for a new vitamin. I filled out the form for a free sample and waited for it ...
