scarywoodwitch says "N B brings all your blogs together & has convenient facebook app" about Networked blogs

scarywoodwitch — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:57:05 GMT

Networked blogs is wonderful! Its a social network that can be used among bloggers and their readers to mark and rate your blog or their blog and keep up with the various fandoms on Facebook among bloggers and readers. Its a great place to find reading materials as well as to get exposure for your own blog. Blogs are very diverse. You could submit your own blog to this program even if its a free hosted blog like Blogger or Wordpress. I have Wordpress blogs, but my old blogs are still up and you can submit more than one! Whatever your interest and what you write about on your blog, there is a niche for it there. I like this network best of all the networks I have my blogs enrolled in. If you use Facebook for advertising or to just plain network with like-minded people such as poets, writers, beauticians, crafty folks, and more, you will find a following very quickly or add to your existing following. It works! Try it!

scarywoodwitch says "Burt's Bees is natural, not ovedrying & not filled w/ additives!" about Burt's Bees Acne Spot Treatment

scarywoodwitch — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:17:26 GMT

My son is at that special age, he's almost 13 and is starting to break out in places, but he's got very sensitive skin as opposed to my own. I suffer from acne breakouts from time to time, but my skin can handle anything. It can handle chemical peels, retin-a, alpha hydroxy and whatever else you put on it to burn off the dead skin and pimples and whatever else lay beneath the surface. For my baby and now for myself, I seek treatments that are more natural and work with your body to irradicate pimples and pimple causing bacteria. This treatment is a yellowish liquid similar to the inside of a vitamin d tablet, but not as gooey and you just dab it onto your skin after washing hands with a q tip. Let it dry, and you can either sleep with it or wear it for the day with or without makeup. Your pimple will be reduced within the day and get smaller thereafter day by day until its just a small pink mark. This formula isn't loaded with lots of additives other than the salcyic acid,...

CountryMama says "Heartwarming and Creative" about The Polar Express Movie

CountryMama — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 23:33:29 GMT

"The Polar Express" touched my heart. A very creative way to get the whole family into the Spirit of Christmas.

Tom Hanks does a remarkable job portraying the Conductor of the train "Polar Express" which takes a handful of children to the North Pole, where they see for themselves that Santa Claus does indeed exsist, if you just believe.

Charming, funny, sad and serious...this movie has all the emotions and will keep you interested in watching what happens next. It truly is an exceptional, family oriented, holiday movie.

I recommend anyone with children, who haven't yet watched this movie, to do so. It's enlightening, magical and amusing.

scarywoodwitch says "Slows Reflexes to a Small Halt" about Neurontin Neurontin

scarywoodwitch — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:34:46 GMT

Neurontin is a medication I took recently as a mood stabalizer. I found it to help me sleep and took away some of my obsessive thoughts and compulsions, but at a price that was a little higher than I was willing to pay. I started to notice I could not type as quickly or accurately, was driving funny and my wits were not as sharp about me. I didn't feel at my optimum or safe driving. I would get this awful vertigo and would feel as if I was being repeatedly slapped in the head, you know how you see stars after you bump your head or something. I don't see how that is going to improve quality of life for anyone. This is a wonder drug for some people but atypical for those of you who are bipolar so if you feel any of these side effects, you are not imagining them, they do happen even if you are told they don't. Everybody is different and you need to follow your gut! You are the only person who knows what "you" as an individual are experiencing, not your therapist, friend, husband,...

scarywoodwitch says "Nasonex Kills Those Allergies & That Cold!" about Nasonex Nasonex

scarywoodwitch — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:15:12 GMT

Recently, I had the misfortune of having a nasty double ear infection. My ears were flooded with fluid behind my ear drum and I could actually not hear out of one of them as the fluid buildup was so awful. I took a trip to the Urgent Care center as the doctor's office was not open at the time I was coersed by a good friend to go and get it checked out. I am one of those people who never goes at times when she needs to. I was surprised to find that I had no more infection, just the fluid still hanging out in my ear drum. I had almost no hearing in that ear. I was prescribed a small squirt pump of Nasonex to bring down the swelling and make it easier for the water to drain so I do not have to get my ear drum punctured as it is very painful. It took some time, but I did notice after about a week, it was less pressurized, the swelling had gone down and some of the fluid had slowly began to drain. My winter allergies were also relieved. I took this in conjunction with generic...

scarywoodwitch says "Cheap Allergy Relief" about Walmart Brand Generic Claritin Claritin 24

scarywoodwitch — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:56:39 GMT

I paid under three dollars for this full size package of generic Claritin, it was the Equate Walmart brand. It worked just as well as the regular Claritin. I was told by a physician to purchase it as I had water in my ears and needed them to be unirritated and for my sinuses to unswell so that it might drain. I always absolutely hate when they ask you to go buy things and don't give you a prescription. Its nice when you don't have good medical coverage, but at present I do, and I like to use it to its full advantage. When I am sick, I want to have most of my medication covered, but in this case, it was much cheaper than I would have even had to pay for a prescription. It was a pleasant surprise. This can be found in the allergy and cold aisle. You don't need to wait in the long and winding line at Walmart where people are picking up their $4 prescriptions, because its the old place they can afford to shop, you can just scoot over to a regular register and pay for it a few...

scarywoodwitch says "Playstation 2 - A Good Alternative to the PS3!" about play station 2 - PlayStation 2

scarywoodwitch — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:46:57 GMT

Are you made of money? Yeah, I'm not either, which is why in my house we will be waiting for the dropping of price with the Playstation 3. The Playstation two might not be as up to speed, but they still makes games for it and accesories, sometimes you can buy them used at Gamestop and Electronics Boutique. You can also trade old games for more expensive newer ones at these kinds of establishments. I still play with my Playstation 2 and so does my twelve year old. Times are tough, and not all of us can afford the newest models of items such as the Playstation. Your kids don't have to be totally disappointed, because you can compromise your wallet and give them almost what they want, a winning alternative. We have the Guitar Hero guitar and some of the games and although its a tad slower, gameplay is the same, the guitars and mics are used the same, and low and behold, the accessories and games are so much cheaper and often available used as many are purchasing the new Playstation...

scarywoodwitch says "Stylish, Regular & Dressup Wear No Matter What Trimester!" about Target Liz Lange

scarywoodwitch — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:38:47 GMT

I will say hands down as far as quality and price go, Target is the leader in maternity clothing. Liz Lange is a line of quality, stylish maternity clothing that Target carries, and I want to say exclusively, but don't quote me on that. These garments are obviously a tad more than your regular attire, but if you need a few nice things and some jeans, because you can't stop wearing jeans, this is the place to head to. I had to cut my pants down the side the last time I was pregnant and let my tummy hang out, I couldn't stand the ugly maternity stuff they had, especially those faux jeans, gross! Liz Lange puts out adjustable jeans that will fit you for most of your pregnancy. You can adjust them on the sides as your belly expands as baby grows larger and healthier. How beautiful is that!? Be pregnant, look human and not like you just stepped out of the five and dime with a whole new assortment of horrible school marmish maternity attire! Look beautiful and stylish your whole...

scarywoodwitch says "Vanilla Fields is for Every Girl!" about Vanilla Fields Vanilla Fields

scarywoodwitch — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:29:35 GMT

Vanilla fields is a fragrance you can't go wrong with. Its light, but you can still smell it, non-irritating to most, and drives the boys wild! The light vanilla scent gives you that extra something before stepping out on the town or doing something as simple as going to church or a PTA meeting. The fabulous thing is that you and your girls, grandchildren, nieces, you can all share! Its completely appropriate for a young girl to get that feeling of being a big girl by spraying her with a little of the lovely vanilla goodness. Its inexpensive, I bought it for my mother for every holiday when I was in high school. Its still under fifteen bucks, and even less in the smaller bottles. This beautiful, wholesome fragrance is super cheap around the holidays and you can get it at any drugstore or department store. Walgreens, Target, Walmart, CVS, Rite Aid, they all have it! This is a nice gift that anyone would appreicate, even kids, but doesn't look cheap or make you feel cheap! ...

scarywoodwitch says "A True Classic for Girls of Any Age!" about Loves Baby Soft DANA Classic Fragrances

scarywoodwitch — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:22:06 GMT

I have loved this stuff since I was a child. Its an old standby. I purchase it for my nieces, godchildren, and my grammy and mom and aunts alike as well as friends my own age. It is truly a classic powder scent for everyone. Its got a fresh out of the shower smell, I can only equate it to a freshly powdered body. Its fresh, its comfortable, and feminine all at the same time. My mom purchased me my first bottle when I was probably about ten years old and from then on, I have been hooked. This is definitely a win for your little girl, whether she's your daughter, or not. Its also probably a good memory refresher for the older women and women your own age in your life. Any girl appreciates a good, fresh smelling fragrance that is classic. Do you know anyone who hates Love's Baby Soft? I know I sure don't! If you are going for that gift that could be for anyone, its a good idea to check out the $5 gift sets, which include a bear at Walmart. I picked up a couple just...

scarywoodwitch says "Thick, but Absorbs Quickly & Provides Moisture & Relif!" about Eucerin Dry Skin Therapy Plus Intensive Repair Lotion

scarywoodwitch — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 02:58:33 GMT

I have really bad psoriasis on my ankle and it gets so bad in the winter that it cracks and bleeds. There is really not a great deal I can do about it as far as a cure, but what I can do is be proactive as far as keeping it moist so it does not crack and bleed and gnaw with pain all day long. I decided to invest in a cream that was a bit more pricy, but more of a medical quality than my average run of the mill brands I usually go with. There are a couple of others that are good for my hands, but I don't need as much of the thick texture that has the staying power of Eucerin. This particular formula exfoliates and smooths and is fragrance free. My ankle is a mess, but has been looking a little bit healtheir and quenched since I purchased this 4.2 oz. container at Walmart the other day. It was under six bucks and comes in a convenient flip top cap bottle. This formula is fragrance free and recommended by dermatologists often. Its not greasy, although thick, but fast absorbing...

scarywoodwitch says "Smells Great, Natural Hold That Won't Give You a Helmet Head!" about Herbal Essences Set me up Hairspray

scarywoodwitch — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 02:47:42 GMT

I absolutely adore Herbal Essences. In the last five years, I think they have put out some really fine, quality products. I have been using their hair color, both permanent and semi-permanent since I was fifteen, maybe younger. I stepped up to high end salon products for a while only to find, not all of them are what they are cracked up to be. I got this can of Herbal Essences Set Me Up Maximum Hold hairspray at Rite Aid on sale. It was two for $5 for Herbal Essences Products and I also had a $1 coupon. Yes, I am very frugal. I was pleasantly surprised! This stuff holds all day even in humidity. It has a strong, but soft, natural hold. You don't look like you are wearing a helmet even if you roundbrush for volume. I am slowly falling madly in love with these products. Being a girl, the beautiful bottles are eyecatching and look good in my bathroom. This one is a gorgeous metallic teal with purple and silver and green accents. I love the new image Clairol has...

Jolie says "buyuggsboot.net is a scam! Ugg Boots from China that are fake." about www.buyuggsboot.net

Jolie — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:22:46 GMT

Background on Buyuggsboot.net

A friend of mine at Viewpoints recently passed along a site called www.buyuggsboot.net. She found it online. www.buyuggsboot.net is a web site that sells all styles of Ugg Boots at discounted prices.

We werent certain if www.buyuggsboot.net were the real or not. But after a thorough review of the site, we thought it was legit. Buyuggsboot.net looks like a reasonable reseller of Ugg Boots. The page is designed well, the pictures look authentic and they make claim to having the real deal. They also consistently site throughout the web site having customer satisfaction commitments.

To add to the thought it was authentic, the pricing seemed good but not amazing. As you probably know a typical pair of Ugg Boots cost about $110. On Buyuggsboot.net the cost was $89.00- approximately a $20 savings. Seemed like a good deal, but they werent so cheap that I thought it could be scam. As an aside, last year Nordstrom had a similiar sale on Ugg boots so the pricing seemed...

scarywoodwitch says "Greedy Clicks Delivers The Cash!" about Greedy Clicks

scarywoodwitch — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:53:36 GMT

I have been a member of Greedy Clicks for nearly no time at all. I have already cashed out twice as there is no minimum. You can have a dollar in there and you could cash out. Refer friends and really get rewarded! Sign up for mailing lists, shop for products, sign up for social networking websites, and much, much more. Even play games to get paid. This website is amazing, pays with paypal. The cool thing, though, in addition to the cold hard cash you earn and have deposited into paypal you get smaller units called credits and can cash out for things like Target or Amazon gift cards later when you have accumulated ten or so of them. You get a $5 or $10 Gift Cards for almost no points. That, I have not done yet. I have only been a member for a month or so. I think they are generous and really reward like they should. I would recommend them to anybody. What's the harm, try it out, if you hate it, don't particpate anymore. There is no minimum obligation. You do...

scarywoodwitch says "Get Paid to Read Email, Shop, and Sign Up for Mailing Lists EZ!" about Send Earnings

scarywoodwitch — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:33:41 GMT

I recently joined Send Earnings, this past summer, I believe. I was skeptical about getting paid to read emails and sign up for mailing lists and figured getting a penny or two or three, or a quarter was not very much worth it. Boy, was I wrong! Its $30 to cash out, I will be there very soon. This is for probably less than a half an hour of work. I also would like to mention that you get points to review things here at Viewpoints on Send Earnings. They give you a quarter a review. There's a cap on it, I think the cap is $5, but how cool is that! Kill two birds with one stone, get a check as well as points here for posting reviews! I love when sites like these merge and work together and you can get rewards twice for only doing something once. Its very simple to read the emails they send to you and all they ask is that you go to the page it directs you to and click the link that tells them you read the mail and it automatically gives you a penny, easy, quick, and totally...

Buggheart says "This is one tempting soap!" about LUSH Temptation Soap

Buggheart — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 02:22:18 GMT

While I still like stuff from LUSH, I have too much of it and am trying really hard to not buy any new stuff until I make a huge dent in my stash of products. Yep, I have a huge Rubbermaid box just full of bath and body stuff that I MUST use up.

So while I was recently digging thru that box, I found a bar of LUSH's Temptation soap that I don't even remember buying. I know it's an apple-scented soap and I love apples so I'm sure that's what cause me to buy it but that's really all I knew until a few weeks ago when I unwrapped it and stuck it in my shower to give it a try. Good news! Temptation soap is a hit!

LUSH.com describes Temptation as follows: Named after the Adam and Eve story, this apple soap exists to lure people off the road to smelly hell and towards scented heaven. It tempts the reluctant bather to the tub with the scent of freshly bitten apples. We put refreshing orange blossom absolute in this soap too, along with warming cinnamon leaf and mystical myrrh. How does the...
