Helens-Picks says "I can't believe I switched to a canister vacuum cleaner." about sears kenmore canister Vacuum

Helens-Picks — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 04:55:31 GMT

I wanted to buy a quality vacuum cleaner after having a crappy, loud bagless Drit Devel for two years. I still had my Panosonic upright but it was old (22 years) and not as powerful as it had been but still worked better than the Dirt Devel which broke after two years of light use. I went to Sears after checking with Consumer Reports and learning that Kenmore was rated at the top. I tried several brands of uprights then for some odd reason I tried the Sears Kenmore Intuition canister vacuum. C.R. rated the canisters better at picking up pet hair, etc. So after testing the Dyson and the different Kenmores, I finally decided that the Intuition canister vac was the best all-around, multi-purpose vacuum. It was on sale too. The bags are not expensive which was very important for me. The bagless vacs aren't as dust free as the bag type vacs, so I am VERY happy with my choice of buying a bagged vac. I never thought I would ever go back to a canister vac but it is much easier to...

Helens-Picks says "Royal Caribbean was our favorite cruise, others did not compare." about Royal Caribbean - Explorer of the Seas Eastern Caribbean

Royal Caribbean - Explorer of the Seas was such a wonderful cruise. We traveled on Carnival after this trip and it did not compare to the terrific service, food and overall atmosphere on the Royal Caribbean ship. The excursions were wonderful too. There was a lot to do at night in the various lounges, ice rink, etc. We will choose Royal Caribbean for our next cruise.

Helens-Picks says "A gentle moisturizer." about Lancome Progres Eye Cream

Lancome Progres Eye Cream is very gentle, which is important for the skin around the eyes. It isn't greasy which is also very nice. The only problem is that it is pricey. I have tried other products that work as well but are less expensive because I wasn't paying for the Lancome name.

Helens-Picks says "Oh my aching back." about Tempurpedic Memory Foam Mattress

Helens-Picks — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 03:12:56 GMT

The Tempurpedic Memory Foam mattress feels like heaven when you first lay on it but in the middle of the night, it feels like you have been sleeping on the floor all night. It feels very hard. I had such a bad backache in the middle of every night, I ended up having to get up and sleep on the couch.

Tempurpedic apparently has pillow topped mattresses now. I have not tried one of those but of course it is too late now to return ours for a different one. They aren't cheap either so make sure you like it within the trial period.
