CASH100GIRL says "BOUNCE DRYER BAR TUMBLES WITH THE CLOTHES IN THE DRYER" about Bounce Dryer Bar

CASH100GIRL — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:38:14 GMT

When I received the BOUNCE DRYER BAR, I was annoyed by the STRONG FRAGRANCE. I do not like strong fragrances, which cause me to cough and get a headache.

I was able to immediately try a sample BOUNCE DRYER BAR. I placed the BOUNCE DRYER BAR in my dryer. I had a comforter in the dryer, so I "refreshed" it. Minutes later, I heard something tumbling in the dryer - the bar had come out of the Bar-Holder/Slots. I simply replaced it. I thought that perhaps only lightweight clothing should be used with the bar - so that it is not knocked off the wall of the dryer.

Then I placed my washed clothing into the dryer - to try out the BOUNCE DRYER BAR again.

The BOUNCE DRYER BAR and the Welcome (Sample) Letter that came with the Sample BOUNCE DRYER BAR had an ANNOYING STRONG FRAGRANCE TOO! Causing me to cough and get a headache. That fragrance did not last long after the BOUNCE DRYER BAR was placed in the dryer.

Overall...

There was no "fresh smell" of the comforter, clothing, or...

CASH100GIRL says "I have started to ENJOY MY Vizio - VW 26L DTV " about Vizio - VW 26L DTV

CASH100GIRL — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 18:33:26 GMT

You may have seen my initial [June 2008] Review of the Vizio - VW 26L HDTV when I first purchased it. I did not have much positive to say about it...pixels drive me Nuts, signal has to adjust, unpredictable TV-VIEWING, etc.

More and worse problems occurred after the 2009 TV-signal-change. For quite a while, I had to regularly [weekly] scan my TV Channels. I would lose viewing of channels 2, 4, and 50 - that's a lot of channels when you don't have cable and/or satellite TV. I have BASIC TV - I don't pay to watch TV.

But now I enjoy my VIZIO VW26L HDTV much more! I feel confident now with getting all my basic TV Channels. I even bought a Plug-and-Play Game!

Some of the FEATURES I ENJOY MOST include:

ON-SCREEN TV-GUIDE - up to 2 days program-viewing
EASY connection for PLUG-AND-PLAY GAMES [in place of my VCR connection]
SLEEP TIMER - although I fall asleep before I even think about using the feature!
SCREEN SIZE OPTIONS - WIDE, FULL

I felt that one purpose of my purchasing an...

CASH100GIRL says "I finally found a Retractable Powder Brush - Studio Basics" about STUDIO BASICS Studio Basics Retractable Powder Brush

CASH100GIRL — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 13:50:52 GMT

I have finally found a retractable, compact powder brush. I have been wanting a 2nd Powder Brush for a long time now. I had not seen these for years - and I was so glad to find the Studio Basics Retractable Powder Brush on Drugstore.com.

So often when I find a product that I like, it seems to become a hard-to-find-item. So when I located the Studio Basics Retractable Powder Brush, I was ecstatic.

But it is longer and fatter than the Powder Brush that I currently have. I would prefer a Powder Brush to be at least as small as my current oval-shaped Powder Brush - 4 ¼" X 1" X ¾". The Studio Basics Retractable Powder Brush is 4 ¾" long, 7/8" round.

Since I have oily skin, I like to keep a powder brush with me so that I can easily refresh-and-powder my already-applied makeup.

Before going out, I apply my loose or compact face powder onto my compact Powder Brush [which fits in my purse better than carrying a compact pressed powder makeup case, for touch-ups].
I dab-off the extra...

CASH100GIRL says "CoverGirl Clean Pressed Powder - Classic Tan is my Color" about CoverGirl Clean Pressed Powder Classic Tan 160 .39 oz

CASH100GIRL — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 13:23:46 GMT

I don't spend a lot of time everyday beautifying myself, but when I prepare to go out, I want to have everything ready, from outfit to my makeup.

I like using the CoverGirl Clean Pressed Powder. Classic Tan seems to be my color. Even after applying my anti-aging cream, CoverGirl Clean Classic Tan Pressed Powder looks Matte and Nice. It's easy to apply with a round makeup pad, which is included and fits inside of the compact case. There is a mirror also.

I usually have to powder my face one more time later in the day.

This makeup is inexpensive also, under $6.

For me, CoverGirl Clean Pressed Powder, Classic Tan Compact Makeup lasts a long time - because I don't beautify myself every day.

CASH100GIRL says "Daily Hair Care Regimen with Optimum OIL THERAPY DRY HAIR HEALER" about Optimum OIL THERAPY DRY HAIR HEALER

CASH100GIRL — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 12:35:59 GMT

It is such a wonderful thing to find the right, working Hair Care Products, and OPTIMUM OIL THERAPY DRY HAIR HEALER is good to my Hair.

Over the years through wearing my hair natural to having relaxed hair, it is always important to find the right products to take care of the hair.

For some time now, I have been using OPTIMUM OIL THERAPY DRY HAIR HEALER. It has treated my natural hair and relaxed hair wonderfully. Currently, I have my hair relaxed - professionally. I have not been using OPTIMUM OIL THERAPY DRY HAIR HEALER as long as I have been using the Optimum Oil Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner products.

The Hair Healer is not expensive - it costs about $4.49 for a 4 oz. jar. The jar seems to last a long time. My Hair Care Regimen includes using the OPTIMUM OIL THERAPY DRY HAIR HEALER daily on my Scalp and Hair - but I'm Lazy, so I don't use it Daily, as I think I should.

Although most Hair Stylists of Black Hair Care tell us not to oil the Scalp - I DO...

CASH100GIRL — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 11:58:45 GMT

OPTIMUM OIL THERAPY ULTIMATE RECOVERY CONDITIONER is good to my Hair.

Over the years from natural to relaxed hair, it is always important to find the right products to take care of the hair.

For some time now, I have been using OPTIMUM OIL THERAPY ULTIMATE RECOVERY CONDITIONER, along with the SHAMPOO, and the products have treated my natural hair and relaxed hair wonderfully.

Currently, I have my hair relaxed - professionally. When my hair was not relaxed, I washed and conditioned my hair twice a week with the OPTIMUM OIL THERAPY ULTIMATE RECOVERY SHAMPOO and CONDITIONER.

OPTIMUM OIL THERAPY ULTIMATE RECOVERY CONDITIONER is not expensive - it costs about $4.49 for a 8.5 oz. bottle. The bottle lasts a nice long time, yet I don't wash my hair daily nor several times in a week while having relaxed hair.

It SOFTENS MY HAIR, making it more manageable. In the shower, after putting the conditioner on my hair, I wear a "plastic heating" cap while bathing. Then I rinse if off, and...

CASH100GIRL says "OLAY REGENERIST DAILY SERUM smooths the face" about OLAY REGENERIST DAILY REGENERATING SERUM

CASH100GIRL — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 15:32:24 GMT

OLAY REGENERIST DAILY REGENERATING SERUM really does work! to smooth my face-skin.

The bottle instructions state to use it daily [once or twice), but I tend to use it before I apply my makeup - which is rare.

I am a Lazy Skin-Carer, yet it still works. If I used it daily, my skin would stay smooth-looking longer, rather thaln just sometimes.

I strongly recommend OLAY REGENERIST DAILY REGENERATING SERUM for the person with acne scar-pits and/or large pores.

Even if you are a Lazy Skin-Carer, this product MAY work for you too!

CASH100GIRL says "Affordable in Dollars and Sense of Use" about Hewlett Packard DeskJet F4180 All-In-One InkJet Printer

CASH100GIRL — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 10:08:20 GMT

I purchased the HP DESKJET F4180 ALL-IN-ONE PRINTER in June 2008 as a replacement of an HP Printer that finally died.

The HP DESKJET F4180 ALL-IN-ONE PRINTER has some very nice features:

previewing documents before printing to making copies - to make sure that the layout is correct
make copies without scanning first.
scan and save documents in any format [.jpg, .pdf, .doc, etc]
can set up printing-modes and a default print-setting. my default is DRAFT MODE in BLACK INK & FAST PRINT - economical.
it is also paper-jam smart - a paper-jam sounds like the printer is breaking! but after pressing the RESUME Button, the printer fixes the paper jam.

The down-side of this printer is the EXPENSIVE INK CARTRIDGES - I was going through cartridges weekly - even after I had become smarter about printing every document:

Rather than printing my on-line payment receipts, I started writin the confirmation# on my bill.
Having my email-confirmation as proof of payment.

CASH100GIRL says "Luv to Play JAKKS ARCADE GOLD PAC-MAN Edition 4 on MY TV SCREEN" about Jakks ARCADE GOLD FEATURING PAC-MAN - EDITION 4

CASH100GIRL — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 21:02:15 GMT

After much research online on ebay, for a Ms. Pac-Man TV game, for the value [under $25 on Amazon.com], I ended up with this NEW! PAC-MAN Edition 4 ARCADE GOLD PLUG AND PLAY TV GAME - and it is FUN! and it has several other games! [8 VIDEO GAMES!!!!!!!!]

When I got the game, I tried out all of the games - several versions of Pac-Man. RALLY-X & GALLAXIAN were not games that I played "back in the day", but these 2 games are also VERY FUN. I've never been a master at operating a joystick and a button (: but I can tell I am gonna be hooked trying.

I see that I'm gonna have to make sure I get my chores done first before settling down to these games [I'm 49].

THE ONLY PROBLEM that I have is that I have not mastered a way to keep the Joystick unit in place on the floor while I handle the joystick - especially when I get excited about a move. Sometimes I feel like I turned the joystick up, right or whatever - and I'm off -- and GOBBLED UP! or SMASHED! I'm hoping that with more...

CASH100GIRL says "could have been an exciting, slow book-read - too slow for video" about WHEN A MAN FALLS

CASH100GIRL — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 22:12:45 GMT

I'm in an online Media-Swap Club - and I was so excited to have a swap for a SHARON STONE MOVIE. How can a movie be bad with Sharon Stone?

Well, WHEN A MAN FALLS is...

boring
slow, while wondering...
- if there is a point to be made
  - or if people are just interacting
- will there be clarity about the people in the movie
- where is this movie going?

Although I'm not a regular novel-reader, I do think that this story would have been a great book to READ at one's own pace. I think it would have been more exciting to read, put the book down & come back, read some more, etc.

The movie was very slow in issues getting to a point of resolution - no exciting build-up - there were too many people-issues.

I can't wait to swap-back this movie!

While watching this movie, I learned a new feature on my remote control - DISPLAY showed me how much movie-time was left. FINALLY! [yawwnnn] everything is pulled together in the very end when after the unexpected happens, everyone is...

CASH100GIRL says "CUTE MACHINE - popcorn taste like air! like nothing" about Nostalgia Electrics Circus cart popcorn popper

CASH100GIRL — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 11:38:58 GMT

I pop my popcorn on an electric stove, in a pot with a little cooking oil. The popcorn is always so delicious. After popping the popcorn and filling the bowl, I shake just a little of Seasoning Salt in the bowl of popcorn and shake the bowl. Then when I’m ready to sit down and eat the popcorn, I add a little salt, shake the bowl – and ohhh! So delicious!!

NOSTALGIA ELECTRICS CIRCUS CART POPCORN POPPER was the 2nd AIR POPCORN POPPER which I purchased recently.

After reading instructions on how to operate the Air Popper, I prepared the popcorn in my new RED NOSTALGIA ELECTRICS CIRCUS CART POPCORN POPPER.

The popcorn is not crunchy and it is just absolutely tasteless! That is, the popcorn has No Taste and No Crunch.

This was a big disappointment – especially after really wanting to have the cute RED NOSTALGIA ELECTRICS CIRCUS CART POPCORN POPPER on my kitchen counter, as a color-pop decor and ready for convenient-use.

Popcorn also sat in the bin area of the machine - I had to turn...

CASH100GIRL says "It's really a FOOT BATHING & SOFTENING POWDER" about Johnson's Foot Soap

CASH100GIRL — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 10:31:02 GMT

I don't really have problem-feet, but I have problems sometimes - and I'm lazy with skincare. Long ago when I really needed to "repair" my feet, I looked at the Foot Products at Walmart, and I came across Johnson's Foot Soap.

In my opinion, this is NOT A SOAP. Perhaps it's a Foot Wash, but it's really not a FOOT WASH either - it's a FOOT SOFTENING/BATH-POWDER! The ingredients initially scared me! but I went for it.

After purchasing Johnson's Foot Soap, I stopped at Family Dollar [hmmmm...maybe I'll check there for the Johnson's Foot Soap next time.] Anyway, I bought a Foot Bin, which was really an 18 qt. Dish Pan.

I drop 1 packet of the Johnson's Foot Soap into the Foot Bin, then run hot water into the Foot Bin. The Johnson's Foot Soap is strong! to me - and I cough!!! every time.

I sit on the edge of the bathtub and place my feet in the Foot Bin. I "stir" Johnson's Foot Soap into the water, with my feet in the bin, and I can FEEL MY FEET SOFTENING!!!! I look...

CASH100GIRL says "Johnson's Brand is the Best Baby Oil " about Johnson's Baby Oil

CASH100GIRL — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:14:31 GMT

Back in the day, I used to put the Johnson's Baby Oil in my bath water. I used Johnson's Baby Oil after bathing and towel-drying - and my legs shined.

As an adult, I still use Johnson's Baby Oil. But now that I understand my mom's complaint about the oil clogging my drain, I now apply it all over while still wet, then I towel dry.

During my times of being frugal, I tried Dollar-Store and DrugStore Brands of Baby Oil. There is a difference in product brands of Baby Oil..........Johnson's Baby Oil leaves my body with a non-ashy, nice and natural look of body softness. I really like it!

CASH100GIRL says "Great Facial Product - reduces my Large Pores" about Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum

CASH100GIRL — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 08:29:38 GMT

I'm 49 and lazy about doing the daily facial skincare routine.

When I'm into facial skincare, before applying Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum, I wash my face with Olay age defying daily renewal cleanser. I have large pores and oily skin - and even with my infrequency of using Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum, it still works very well in making my skin look better.

The Serum also feels good - it looks like the acne gel I used to use decades ago, but it does not dry-out or peel the skin - just like the product promises.

CASH100GIRL says "I used my Eureka 440 Vacuum Cleaner nearly every morning in Den" about Eureka Model 440 Series Vacuum

CASH100GIRL — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 13:30:27 GMT

In May 2008, I purchased the Eureka 440 Series.

I have carpet only in 1 room - the Den; this carpet is white so, nearly every morning, I vacuum the popcorn, chips off the floor.

It is easy to...

wind cord
store in closet
bring out of the closet to vacuum

There are 2 SETTINGS:

Floors
Carpets

The handle looks awkward, but is it adjustable and comfortable.

The Dust Cup Filter #DCF-17 is costly:

costs about $13 to order through Eureka - plus! $9.75 Postage and Handling.
does not seem to be available in local stores - I bought my first replacement Dust Cup Filter on ebay for about $15 - and then washed the dirty one.

I like the Eureka Model 440 Vacuum Cleaner because it is LIGHTWEIGHT and easy to use.

CASH100GIRL says "Unpredictable TV Viewing, but it "adjusts" - VIZIO VW26L HDTV" about Vizio - VW26L HDT Television

CASH100GIRL — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 12:52:59 GMT

I am one who is behind-the-time in technology - I don't purchase up-to-date tech until I NEED it...so in May 2008, to replace my Sears Brand bulky Antenna TV that begun to annoyingly hummmmm, I selected the VIZIO VW26L HDTV from Walmart.

It was frustrating for me to correctly connect my DVD & VCR to this HDTV.

SOUND & PICTURE: I'm not always impressed with the sound & picture - I never know what I'm gonna see or hear when I settle down to watch TV in the evening.

NOTE: I don't have cable or satellite.

The SLOW REMOTE CONTROL POWER-ON and CHANNEL CHANGING is annoying...the manual says it takes up to 10 seconds before picture appears...that's too long - initially the delay made me think that I did not press the remote button correctly, so I press again! turning off the HDTV or changing channel again.

SOUND: The sound is different on several channels, from normal to annoyingly-blasting loud!

There seems to be no one-level sound for all channels. have to adjust sound while changing...

CASH100GIRL says "LISTING to sell ITEMS ON EBAY is fun! and it's a Selling-Gamble." about eBay

CASH100GIRL — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:45:49 GMT

Since 2003, I've been an Ebay Seller & Trading Assistant - and I've seen fee-price increases, rules changes, yada yada yada.

For me, ebay is dual-emotional:

1. FUN! & EXCITING to buy items at a low price -- and list to sell for profit.

- It is a gamble - like putting money on the table [that is, paying ebay fees] and hoping to gain it back, plus a profit......gambling can be fun! When I get a bid on an auction item, I feel elated! I wait and hope for other players [bidders] to come and join the first bidder - never knowing till the last second what an item will sell for. It's exciting to watch, to wait and see the end result of the high bidder and sale-price.

2. DISCOURAGING & FRUSTRATING to list and not sell many items. Listing items are not free - there are fees involved to list AND sell. Ebay has a fee structure to list items, AND Ebay and Paypal [payment company owned by ebay] takes a commission on sales. A monthly ebay bill for me averages about $30;...

CASH100GIRL says "Fun Digital Camera for Kids and New-Learning Techies" about SAKAR INTERNATIONAL - CYBER GEAR - KIDZ CAM Digital Camera

CASH100GIRL — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 19:11:30 GMT

This is a kids digital camera [NO FILM NEEDED & takes 2 AA BATTERIES].

Because I'm frugal, I initally bought this camera several years ago - as a starter digital camera and an UPGRADE to my Polaroid & Disposable Cameras - to post better photos on my ebay listings......Did I mention that I still use this camera?

It's quite simple to use - the feature I wish it had is a PREVIEWING WINDOW.

It took me a while to realize it, [and I kept frequently changing batteries], but this camera will not take a photo if the lighting is not correct! It beeps when the photo is taken - NO FLASH! Definitely requires NATURAL day/sun LIGHTING to get colors correct.

For Kids' use, there is software which provides a Games Center, StoryMaker, Slide Show Player.

If your Digital Camera needs are simple:

email, store, edit & upload photos taken

then this camera may work for you.
