Quick View: In New York, you need lip balm. Period. The summers parch your lips and the winters dehydrate and chap them. I have a tin of so many balms, you'd think I was ... a lip products junkie! And I am. However, I sometimes need more than a pretty color or flavor on my lips. I need deep hydration. I get that and more with ChapStick Fresh Effects Lip Balm - Invigorating Green Tea Mint. And it's inexpensive!

My Take on ChapStick Fresh Effects Lip Balm - Invigorating Green Tea Mint

This lip balm comes in the traditional stick form and is clear. It glides on easily. It isn't waxy like the original...

Quick View: When fellow Viewpointer ApriBambino wrote about all of the Avon mark Self Sanctuary Lemon Sugar Scented products, I knew I had to try them. I love citrus scents, lemon especially, and was in the mood for something new. I had never tried any of mark's (Avon's "younger" products) body products and would never have even known this body butter existed. I am so glad I bought it and the spray. It is light, tart, sweet, and just what I needed to boost my spirits and hydrate my skin.

My Take on Avon mark Sanctuary Lemon Sugar Body Butter

This body butter comes in a 6.7 ounce squat tub. It is...

Quick View: I discovered this tea while browsing around online and, because I have sore throats a lot in the winter, bought a box. As it happens, I got a sore throat soon after and tried the tea. It's not bad and does sooth my throat. I can't drink it though because it lowers my potassium level. However, in general, this tea is safe and effective.

My Take on Yogi Tea Throat Comfort, Organic, Caffeine Free Tea

This tea comes16 bags to a box and is naturally caffeine free. It has natural sweetness to it and it tastes like black licorice. I don't like that taste very much but, with a little honey...

Quick View: I strongly believe that fish oil is a necessary supplement for nearly everyone and I take them daily. When I ran out of my Natrol Fish Oil Softgel Capsules, I asked my husband to pick me up another bottle. He came home with PharmAssure Fish Oil 1000mg Softgel Capsules. They were the same as far as active ingredients, milligrams, and even how they looked so I took them. Ugh. Every time I belch or even hiccup I taste fish. GROSS. Back to Natrol for me!

My Take on PharmAssure Fish Oil 1000mg Softgel Capsules

My Natrol Fish Oil softgel caps have lemon oil in them so I never have a "fish...

In 1999, the ABC TV network, which has been "home" to best-selling author Stephen King's made-for-television movies and miniseries, aired Stephen King's Storm of the Century, which King wrote as an original "Novel for Television" rather than as an adaptation of an existing published work, tells the story from the point of view of Mike Anderson (Tim Daly), a grocery store owner and constable on Little Tall Island, which lies off the coast of Maine. It's some time in the late 1990s, and Mike is clearly recalling the traumatic events of the fateful arrival of Andre Linoge (Colm Feore) on the island...

Everything stated here will be backed up with FACTS!  First of all, the National Debt has tripled under the Obama administration.  "The National Debt has increased about $1.6 trillion on Mr. Obama's watch."  "It gets worse. The same document projects that by the end of the decade, the National Debt will hit $24.5 trillion - exceeding the Gross Domestic Product projected for 2019 of $22.8 trillion."  wellsy.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/national-debt-now-over-12-trillion

Let's talk pork: As ABC reported - the newly designed web site, recovery.gov cost 18 MILLION to redesign.  "ABC News' Rick Klein...

Even though Maybelline Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Mascara has mixed reviews, I just had to try it for myself.  I actually found it on the clearance rack at Target and it included a free eye shadow.  Since I had a coupon, I HAD to try it!

This mascara claims to give you 70% longer lashes and leave a shiny patent finish.  The brush is a little different from other brushes I have used; it's kind of spiky and soft looking.  When you apply the mascara to your lashes, you notice instant darkening and length, but I didn't get the "shiny patent finish" at all.  My lashes had the same matte look...

Quick View: I like Bath & Body Works' hand soaps and I recently bought nine different scents and types (I had a great coupon!). One that I bought was Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap, Winter Candy Apple. Normally I'm not a fan of the deep cleansing soaps and go for the moisturizing ones but I didn't see this scent in the moisturizing hand soap area so I bought the deep cleansing one. It is VERY sweet but doesn't seem to dry my hands out like the other deep cleansing soaps from BBW.

My Take on Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap, Winter Candy Apple

 Well, let's see what's new in the world of MSOS.. Lee, (diaper swappers owner) SOLD MSOS to some over seas company. Yeah, he basically flipped it for profit.. and get this, the new owners can't even speak English. I mean REALLY who in the world needs to own a military website when they have NO MILITARY affiliation. Sounds a bit suspicious to me. I no longer post on MSOS because it bothers me that the new owners probably have alterior motives..

 now let's move onto the ADMIN there.. WICKED in the most inept person to be running a site. She is a hypocrite and it's really disgusting. There was...

Quick View: I have been a fan of Laura Geller's line of cosmetics for years. Her line of baked products is great. I have TONS of blushes but tend to stick with rosy hues. I decided it was time for a change so I picked up Laura Geller Blush-n-Brighten Blush Compact in Golden Apricot. I thought I would look orange  it doesn't at all. I love this shade and the formula is really great. I'll be buying more shades soon.

My Take on Laura Geller Blush-n-Brighten Blush Compact, Golden Apricot

This blush is baked and has a somewhat uneven texture. It isn't one color throughout. There are shades of deeper...

Quick View: This gift set of ten soda flavored lip balms is tasty, hydrating, and fun. Keep some and give some away or keep them all! I got a great deal on these at HSN.com. They were on sale for just $10.00 a set. They're incredibly tasty in flavors i remember as a kid.

My Take on Schweppes Gold Medal Lip Balm Gift Set

This set comes boxed and has nine separate time of old school Swhweppes soda flavors. The balms are tinted in the tins but have very little color on the lips. Although they have a novelty look to them, they contain good ingredients like  organic extra virgin olive oil, organic...

Film School is a less sensational, lower budgeted reality television program than Project Greenlight was.  It originally aired on the Independent film channel in the 2005/2006 season and was originally available only through Netflix in 2007.   You can buy the DVD at Amazon and other places now.  I got mine through the local public library.

There are 10 half hour episodes (on 3 DVD discs) that focus on 4 New York University Film School Students as they attempt to produce (raise money), film, edit and get their film into the very important New York University First Run Film Festival.

Drink and be filled up - Stephen King

On Writing is part memoir, part autobiography and part how to.    King had about half this book finished on that fateful day on June 19th, 1999 when he went out for one of his customary walks in Maine near his home and was hit by a Van and nearly killed.  He talks about this briefly toward the end of the book.

You probably noticed I wrote; 'he talks about this..."  This is what King does in ON WRITING.  He writes in an almost conversational voice,  it is warm, genuine,  and honest.    The book is short and if you take your time you'll be finished...

I recently fell in love with Philosophy Ooey Gooey S'mores Lip Shine because of the delicious scent and the way it looks and feels on my lips.  When I was at Philosophy's website recently, I saw they offered a Christmas ornament filled with a trio of lip shines in different scents, so I just had to have them!  Included in the trio are the flavors: Spicy Pear Cobbler, Gingerbread and Orange Cranberry Spritzer. The set was only $15.00 and each lip balm normally sells for $12.00 a piece, so this was a great deal!

The scent of this lip gloss is amazing!  I want to lick my lips and eat this stuff. ...
