AimeeJane says "I never thought I would recommend a deoderant to people..." about Dove Ultimate Clear Cool Essentials Anti-Perspirant Deodorant

AimeeJane — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:49:33 GMT

For many years, I thought the skin under my arms was different. I had bumps and creases, and I assumed that went with the territory. A few years ago, when I saw the ads for Dove's new-at-the-time deoderant & antiperspirant, I was encouraged to try it. I was amazed. Within a week or so, my skin had completely changed. My underarms had become as smooth and soft as the rest of my skin.

Now, they even go a step further with their "Ultimate Clear" line. It doesn't leave white marks on my clothing, AND my skin is soft. Double bonus!

AimeeJane says "The Sony Erricson TM-506 is a nice, basic phone & easy to use." about Sony Erricson - TM-506 Cell Phone

AimeeJane — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:36:34 GMT

I've had Sony Ericssons in the past, and I wasn't to keen to have another. My last one was not user-friendly, but this one was specifically recommended to me.

It is quite easy to use, so I'm happy with it. It's nothing fancy, but it's just what I need.

The camera is especially good. It takes much better quality photos than I would have expected. Popping them onto the computer and a little photoshopping creates results that are definitely frameable.

One complaint I have is with the data. It takes a memory card, but you have to buy the Sony Ericsson brand card. I hate proprietary technology like this. If they had made it accept a micro SD card, I would have given the phone five stars. In order to get the photos off my phone, since I don't have data service, I had to buy a BlueTooth USB receptor for my desktop.

The variety of rings available is also a little disappointing, but it is fun to play with the Music DJ feature. (It would be even more fun if all of the songs...

AimeeJane says "Another great Philadelphia flavor for my crackers!" about Kraft - Philadelphia Spinach & Artichoke Cream Cheese Spread

AimeeJane — Fri, 01 May 2009 14:57:38 GMT

I tried this after being sent a coupon for a free sample. I expected good things, and I wasn't disappointed. My family are big fans of Philly Cream Cheese, and the spinach and artichoke flavor is a hit as far as we are concerned. We enjoy it on everything bagels and thin wheat crackers. I bet it would be great in an omelette, too, just like their salmon cream cheese is...

Because it isn't available in a low fat version, this will be a rare treat for us, but I look forward to having it again!

AimeeJane says "Lovely hotel in a great location." about Copthorne Tara Kensington - London, London

AimeeJane — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 20:15:22 GMT

We booked our stay at the Copthorne Tara through a bid on Priceline. We were unsure what to expect and were pleased with the results. The hotel was a short walk from the Kensington tube station...a walk I wouldn't like to make alone at night, but I was comfortable there with my husband. (On weekend nights, the drinkers were out and about.) The hotel employees were helpful with all of our issues, and there is convenient (for a few coins) internet service available near the lobby. We would stay at the Copthorne again without hesitation....

AimeeJane says "Lovely hotel, with good service." about Le Meridien Montparnasse - Paris, France

AimeeJane — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 20:08:51 GMT

We booked our stay at le Meridien through Priceline. The reviews were good, but it was our first experience booking through that site, so we weren't sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised! For a fabulous price, we had a luxurious hotel in a great location. It was a ten minute walk to l'Arc de Triomphe and easy to access le Metro through the shopping mall across the street. The employees were pleasant and polite, and the interior decor was phenomenal. The room and bathroom were small by American standards, but very spacious by European standards. We would not hesitate to stay there again....

AimeeJane says "Even my husband loves our purple vacuum!" about Dyson - Animal DC07 - Upright Bagless Cyclonic Vacuum

AimeeJane — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 20:01:58 GMT

We've had our Dyson, pet version for about five years now. We aren't ones to spend this much money on cleaning products normally, but at the time, we had a long-haired, shedding dog, and keeping her hair off the floors was driving us nuts. The Dyson is remarkable. All of the attachments are on-board and very easy to attach, once you figure them out the first time. I love this vacuum! It's not a lightweight, but neither is it too heavy or unwieldy. I recommend it for everyone....

AimeeJane says "Surprisingly fast-acting - amazing!" about Mucinex Full Force Nasal Spray

AimeeJane — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 19:55:33 GMT

I was on a trip this week with my family and had the flu...I was miserable until my nasal passages filled up. Then I was extremely miserable. I bought Mucinex nasal spray on someone's suggestion and am now in love. The spray cleared up my nasal passages instantly. I was shocked. It also lasted the full twelve hours. My only complaint is that you can't use it for more than three days, but as that's true with all nasal decongestant sprays, I suppose that's not a real drawback. If your nose is blocked, try this!...

AimeeJane says "Comfortable resort, great location, wonderful service." about Sheraton Vistana Resort - Orlando, FL

AimeeJane — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 19:45:45 GMT

We just spent a week at the Sherton Vistana, having exchanged for it through our timeshare. The suite itself was very comfortable and spacious - if it has one negative, it's true of every resort I've seen in Florida...the colors are out of date (pink tile! Blech!). All in all, that's no big deal. I've been staying in timeshare resorts my entire life, and the Vistana is one of the best I've seen. Check-in was easy and quick (as was check-out), the map was easy to follow to our suite, and every employee we encountered was wonderful. I had to call twice for extra towels, but I don't begrudge them that...in a resort this size, run by human beings, that's a minor thing. One piece of furniture was broken upon our arrival, but engineering was eager to help and fixed it with no problems. The resort is located very close to Downtown Disney and the main gate to the Disney property. We made our trip with the express purpose of visiting the Disney parks, and it was an incredibly convenient location.......
