Junell says "A holiday treat!!! " about Coffee Mate peppermint mocha creamer

Junell — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:19:32 GMT

I always look forward to the holiday season for the Coffee Mate Peppermint Mocha. Since you can't buy it year around, it's always such a treat when I can buy it. The rest of the year...I go to Starbucks and get their version but this is sooo much cheaper! It's flavorful and it's only 1.5 fat grams for a tablespoon (35 calories). It gives your coffee a smooth, creamy flavor but you have to get it while you can!

Junell says "Beauty must-have....." about Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets 50 ct

Junell — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:21:59 GMT

This is one of those products I use at least once a day. The Clean and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets were given to me by a friend and I've been using them ever since. One sheet will easily remove the oil on your face without disturbing your make-up. The only problem is that they are pricey and like some folks have said, using more than one a day can add up. The generic one's I've tried have worked just as well so I buy those if they are available. They're usually about $1 cheaper.

Junell says "Pleasantly surprised...." about Bounce Dryer Bar

Junell — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:41:03 GMT

I wasn't sure how I would feel about the Bounce Dryer Bar but it worked out better than I expected. It's easy to install and simple to replace the bar. I checked to see how much dryer sheets cost (80 count) and it's about the same as the dryer bar. I was concerned that if I left laundry in the dryer, the bar would leave residue on my clothes. This didn't happen and I was happy. There's a convenience in not having to remember to put a dryer sheet in and I also liked the fresh smell and no static cling. And, you don't have to put on an article of clothing and find your dryer sheet hiding inside :) I was skeptical at first but I would recommend the product.

Junell says "It really does work...." about Urban Decay Primer Potion

Junell — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:04:37 GMT

I had heard alot about this product then I was given a sample of Urban Decay Primer. I am happy to say that this is a fantastic product! I have oily skin and my shadow is usually non-existent in a couple hours. This primer goes on easily, it's colorless, and it really does work all day. I do not wear eye shadow that much but when I do, I put this on first. I have some cheaper shadows and the primer works well with these as well as the department store shadows. If you wear eye shadows alot, you can't go wrong with this product.

Junell says "Probably my favorite movie..." about Shawshank Redemption

Junell — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:03:43 GMT

Shawshank Redemption is a fantastic film. It's a great balance of humor, sadness, hope and friendship. Certain scenes are adult in content but the meaning of the movie is extrememly important. "Hope is a good thing" :) I always get teary eyed during certain scenes but the friendship between Andy and Red is true. If you enjoy stories about endurance, intelligence and human bonding.....this is your movie.

Junell says "Cat's favorite wet food....." about Fancy Feast cat food

Junell — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:56:49 GMT

Fancy Feast is the only wet food my cat eats. I enjoy the variety of food I can buy for her and I try to feed her a different flavor each week. Fancy Feast offers different types of food textures. My cat doesn't like the 'sliced' type. I have to get her the 'gourmet', 'chunky' or 'roasted'. If you're wondering what these look like, you can check the website and see the pictures. She's sooooo finicky and the food texture matters to her.

Depending on where you go, the cans can be overpriced but I try to catch a sale and stock up.

Junell says "Makes my work-out fun :) " about Apple/Nike + iPod Sport Kit

Junell — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:17:45 GMT

The iPod Sport Kit was recommended to me so I decided to try this out. I use this when I go to the gym or aerobics but mainly when I go for walks. It's simple to use and it motives you to do better with each task. The one thing I don't like is that it freezes up sometimes when you switch quickly from sport mode back to your main iPod menu. I've had to reset my iPod Nano twice so far. Also, this will not work on crosstrainers or stationary bikes since you're not physically taking steps. Some gym machines are iPod-ready but it depends on where you go.

If you don't have Nike shoes...there are covers you can buy (bought mine on-line) to hold your sensor to fit on any shoe with laces.

I enjoy that fact that you can find out exactly how far you've walked with a simple push of a button on your iPod. I love hearing my progress as I listen to my music during my workout.

Junell says "L.G. VU.....using a touch screen is different " about LG - Vu Cell Phone

Junell — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 15:14:01 GMT

I wanted to try a touch-screen phone but I didn't want to pay iPhone money. The L.G. Vu is not a Smartphone (which I didn't want anyway). The screen is a great size but it does take time to get used to a touch screen. I like the fact that when you key something, you can set your phone to vibrate with each touch. I also appreciate using one phone book entry and being able to list information under each entry. There's a memo area, e-mail and a space for multiple numbers. I don't like that fact that you can't choose a personalized text tone or the short-lived battery life but other than that, I think it's great for the money.

Junell says "Pricey but worth it......" about O.P.I. Nail Lacquer

Junell — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 20:06:58 GMT

This polish is the best! It's durable and OPI has a great selection of colors and they come out with different one's each year. I use to go to a salon to get them done and this is one of the salon favorites. Now I buy it on-line or at a salon and do it myself. It does cost a bit much (around $7.00 a bottle) but the shine and durability is worth it. ...
