Chapette says "The softest my clothes have ever felt!" about Bounce Dryer Bar

Chapette — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:09:01 GMT

I have used my Downey Bar for 4 weeks now and I am more than impressed. It was a breeze to install. My first thought was this is going to melt on my wet clothes. It not only did not melt it left my clothes feeling almost ironed. All of the wrinkles were smoothed, they were extra soft and I did not have to think about my "Downey ball" or my "Downey sheet".

Female or male, homemakers who work and have children are the busiest people I know. Anything that makes their tasks less thought provoking and more "mindless" is a bonus. The Downey bar is just there doing its job. As soon as you open the dryer you can see it ready to work. It leaves no residue, no discoloration, just a terrific smell and super soft laundry.

One of the things that make me most upset are forgetting to put the softner in the wash or the sheet in the dryer. It leads to ironing (which I am sure 97% of us dislike) or else wasting valuable electricity by over drying in order to have soft stuff. The Downey bar takes care of...

Chapette says "Tea Rose is a perfect rose scent! " about The Perfumer's Workshop Ltd. Tea Rose

Chapette — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:32:23 GMT

I purchased Tea Rose because I love the smell of rose blossoms. This is a true rose perfume. There are no layers. The top, middle and bottom notes are rose. It is long lasting (so rare in these days of "time to respray"), fresh and will fit well for work, play or an elegant evening on the town.

Spray Tea Rose just before dressing and you will gracefully carry a laurel of baby roses throughout your day. I had so many people smile as they passed me. You are not overwhelmed by this scent nor are the people around you. You smell clean, like a garden after a soft spring rain.

The best way to know you have a nice scent is having others like the way you smell. I was in the elevator (very small) at the mall with a mom and her twins, sweet girls about seven, they both kept inching closer to me as the elevator moved up. The doors opened and as they left they turned to me and offered "You smell like a pretty flower."

My husband who is not a perfume fan has started to call me his Indian Rose.

Chapette says "Capital One Image Card is so my card!" about Capital One - Platinum Mastercard

Chapette — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:47:42 GMT

I have had my Cap One card for about six months. It has a 14.25% rate that will not increase as long as the account stays current and minimum payments are made. I try to pay my entire balance so I don't have any interest accrual. Recently I received an e-mail inviting me to sign on and create my own image card. The service is free and as long as you follow their guidelines practically any image may be uploaded from your computer. They also offer an extensive list of photos, icons, etc. The categories are too numerous to mention here I am sure most of you have seen the recent TV campaign about this feature. I submitted a photo of my little girl (Shih Tzu) Gizmo and the card turned out to be awesome. Everywhere I have used my card both the sales persons and the customers in line have oohhed and aahhed over how special my Cap One card is. This is not for business card users but if you have a Capital One card for personal use I would recommend getting an image card. You have the option of changing...

Chapette says "W350 Walkman makes for great listening plus a terrific phone! " about Sony Erricson - Sony Ericsson W350 Cell Phone

Chapette — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:19:16 GMT

After using a basic talk and take pictures phone for 2 years I was ready for something more versatile. With my upgrade benefits from AT&T Wireless I found my Sony Ericsson W350 Walkman phone at no charge. It was baby blue with a flip down phone and a walkman on the front when the phone was not in use. This phone utilizes Sony Ericsson Media Manager which is downloaded from the Sony site. Using the media manager to connect your phone to the internet you can load your phone with songs straight from your computer. There are two songs provided with the phone, "Lets make love in this club" and "Day Birth". Having sex in a dance club did not appeal to me and I deleted that one. A fun thing about the walkman is that it also stores your ringtones. They are only about 30 seconds long but for a quick listen it is just the ticket. The walkman stores "Artists", "Albums", "Tracks" and "Playlists" and I have had up to 2 full albums held at one time. This makes my phone great when the dogs and I go for...

Chapette says "Select Comfort C2 Queen is my "Dream Lover"" about Sleep Number Queen Bed

Chapette — Thu, 14 May 2009 15:32:56 GMT

My in-laws have had their sleep number bed for 10 years and they are still thrilled with it. So when it came time to replace our old mattress and foundation I just naturally started at Select Comfort. When I entered the store I was slightly overwhelmed by the prices listed on the various beds being demonstrated. As I lay on each model it was evident how soft they could be, but I needed to find out how hard they could be. I have nerve damage in my legs so I am unable to sleep on a soft mattress. My husband because of back problems needs a much softer mattress. So we both lay down with our individual controls and discovered that my side could be just as hard as I wished while his side could remain pillow soft. The queen size was perfect as it allowed both of us room to move, if needed, yet not incroach on each others side. So we had found the best bed we could imagine, would it break our already fragile bank? There are ways to save money even buying a Select Comfort Sleep Number bed. We...

Chapette says "The George Foreman 360 is my go to Grill." about George Foreman 360 Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine

Chapette — Thu, 14 May 2009 09:03:03 GMT

I received my George Foreman as an anniversary present. Since then I have used my grill for everything from perfectly grilled salmon to perfectly baked corn bread. This machine is a marvel, it will pan fry, make great char grilled fajitas, quesadillas and homemade pizza. Plus, I love what it does with filets. Pork, chicken, beef. So far the only thing is hasn't been able to grill is large vegetables. A huge advantage for me is that I can utilize the fat to make suet for my birds. They love the different tastes the meats add. The grill comes with a regular grill face and top, a grill face and top for tortillas and mexican food and a grill pan for baking, frying, etc. Everything is non-stick. It includes two spatulas and two fat catchers. The pan can sit flat or be raised to aid in fat runoff. All the tops and bottoms are easy to attach and dish washer safe. The lid comes with an cool touch handle for ease in opening. You may adjust the temperature easily by moving the temperature slider....

Chapette says "Fox Bombs with new animated comedy "Sit Down, Shut Up."" about Sit Down/Shut Up

Chapette — Thu, 07 May 2009 11:08:38 GMT

It only took two episodes of Fox Sunday night newcomer "Sit Down, Shut Up" for them to pull it. I don't know if they plan to move it to a different night/time slot, but the best thing they could do is forget it was ever made. The premise behind this show is an elementary/middle school with a less than stellar group of educators. The principal is not available due to rehab/jail time. The acting principal is a black woman whom I am sure will anger any woman be she black or white or any shade in between. One of the teachers is homeless and so far has lived in a school closet and a giant bell. All of the teachers are sad, disfunctional, people who have time for everything except helping their students learn. The worse by far is Miracle, a flighty, baby toting, quasi hippy who touts nature. She is not only unpleasant to watch but she named her baby boy "Merch". That's not right. More to the point, it is NOT FUNNY. "Sit Down, Shut Up" may well be the worst animated show ever drawn, written or...

Chapette says "My Black & Decker Heater is warm and good looking too!" about Black & Decker HF T200

Chapette — Thu, 07 May 2009 10:10:36 GMT

When I needed a heater for my office, outfitted with a window A/C only, I told my husband we had to find one that was modern and stylish as well as an excellent room warmer. It took me about 5 seconds after I had seen the B&D in the store to decide that this was MY heater. The design is terrific, mine is tan and looks like a space ship. The front is an enlongated oval that comes to a point. The back is round with an inset handle for ease in moving or changing position when required. The shape allows the released heat to focus from the sides to the front with the widest dispersal available. The base is a solid disc molded with four foot-like extensions to level the heater and prevent accidental falls. There is an automatic shut-down should it fall over.The unit has need specific heat options i.e., large, medium or small rooms with a digital temperature readout located adjacent to the controls on top of the unit. Temperature is controlled via a cool (blue) to hot (red) arrow. It is easy to...

Chapette says "Revolution Flea and Tick Treatment makes my life easier." about Revolution Flea and Tick Treatment

Chapette — Tue, 05 May 2009 18:15:58 GMT

I have been using Revolution Flea and Tick Treatment for 2 and 1/2 years and I will continue to use it. I purchase it online and it arrives in two packages of 6 treatments each. I use the mauve for small dogs. I have a Shih Tzu and a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix. We live deep in the woods in southwest Florida with panthers, bobcats, foxes, rabbits, squirells and mice. So my dogs have lots of opportunities to get fleas and ticks from other animals as well as the ground. I spent the first five years of their lives taking them to the vet to get various flea/tick treatments as well as heartworm meds. I was actually spending more for their treatments than I did for my own doctor visits. It was checking out vet sites online an noticed a new product at Total Pet Supplys Online. It was called Revolution Flea and Tick Treatment. It combined the leading flea/tick repellant as well as heartworm medicine in a one dose monthly treatment. I could not wait to read about this. Well it had just been approved...

Chapette says "My Oster Rice Cooker is almost perfect" about Oster 4731 10-Cup Rice Cooker

Chapette — Tue, 05 May 2009 17:54:44 GMT

My Oster Rice Cooker was shipped to me as a credit card reward. We eat so much rice, I got tired of boiling in bags and in the microwave. I thought if I got a rice cooker I would be able to save money buying larger bags (5 lb or more). My first try was a miss. You have two choices, keep warm and cook. Either I did not have enough water (followed directions, I did) or too much rice (used measuring cup). Bottom line is my rice was very well cooked but it had stuck to the bottom of the cooker. Perhaps it was dropped during shipping or mishandled at a transport stop. I was able to solve the problem by checking on the cooking process just before the bell sounded. Oops, I forgot to mention that it does sound a bell and switches from cook to keep warm automatically. It comes with a steamer to cook vegetables and fish. The top is glass with a well placed vent. It includes a product instruction booklet that contains recipes for different dishes. The rice pan is removeable and very easy to clean....

Chapette says "I feel softer, smoother and more even-toned after only two weeks" about L'Oreal Advanced Revitalift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair

Chapette — Sun, 03 May 2009 14:36:55 GMT

L'Oreal Advanced Revitalift Wrinkle Repair is the first cream I have tried that has not had any detrimental effects on my skin. My skin is so sensitive that when trying new products I usually spend the first two weeks fighting blemishes, itching, redness, burning, etc. With this L'Oreal cream none of that has happened. All my skin has shown me is improved tone and color, radiance I never thought I would see again and smoother, softer skin than I have experienced in a long time. I am 55 and have some lines around my eyes and mouth that have become more pronounced this year. This is also the first year I have ever seen small wrinkles developing on my neckline. My concern has tripled in just the last 3 months. I guess you reach 55 and one half and then just fall apart.

I am very fortunate that this product came along when it did. I am a BzzAgent and when I signed up for this campaign I was really unsure. I started using the product the first day I received my kit. I was sent the day cream...
