Nikiem says "Herbal Essences is my favorite shampoo!" about Herbal Essences Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Shampoo

Nikiem — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 22:26:29 GMT

Herbal Essences long term relationship shampoo is my everyday, routine shampoo. It smells wonderful, just like all the Herbal Essences products, and leaves me hair smelling just as great. This shampoo is specifically designed for long hair, and it works great for mine. I have been blow-drying my hair much more than normal this last year - nearly everyday, and yet have gone six months without a trim and am still hard-pressed to find a split-end. It moisturizes without weighing hair down, and does not dry out my hair if I have to use it every day! It is infused with red raspberries and satin (hydrolyzed silk is in the ingredient list), and really does seem to protect against breakage and split ends. It says on the bottle that it'll "help your hair live a long, happy life" and for me it definitely lives up to this promise. Of course my favorite thing about Herbal Essences long term relationship shampoo is the smell, it's a great thing to wake up to in the morning! I would definitely...

Nikiem says "Attractive flip phone that is very durable!" about Sanyo - Sanyo Katana II Cell Phone

Nikiem — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 21:58:02 GMT

I have owned and used my Sanyo Katana II cell phone for over 2 years now. I had asked the salesperson to give me the most durable phone within my price range due to the fact that I am a mom of a toddler. Unlike the cell phones I have owned in the past, the battery does not pop off when I drop this phone, or my son throws it across the room. I have even thrown the phone into the yard (because I get terrible service at my house - this is not due to the particular phone, but I suppose due to my service provider and the fact that I live in a low lying area full of trees) and my dog picked it up in her mouth. She did not bite the phone, but there was some doggy-drool on it. LOL. Anyhow, the point is that after approximately 2 1/2 years, at least 50 times of being dropped or thrown, on floors, outside, in the sand, you name it, it still works well. Aside from a few small scratches it still looks new, and the screens are still perfect. It does not have a QWERTY keyboard for texting...

Nikiem says "Gentle toner-refines skin without drying." about Neutrogena Neutrogen Pore Refining Toner

Nikiem — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 21:45:58 GMT

I have been using Neutrogen Pore Refining Toner for almost two months now and am satisfied with the results. I have huge pores on my cheeks near my nose, and bought the product because it cleaims to visibly reduce the appearance of pores. I must admit that it does do this, but not to any drastic degree, and of course it is only temporary. It shrinks the appearance of pores immediately after use and lasts for a couple hours, but do not expect miracles. What I really like about this product is that it deep cleans down into pores without drying my skin. I get that tight feeling right after use (which I guess is my pores tightening) but no burning sensation, and that tight feeling is really mild. It is a very gentle toner, and I love how it does not dry my skin. It contains alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) which I've heard is good for the skin, but I am no expert. However, I do know that AHA can increase your sensitivity to the sun, so be sure to apply a sunscreen when using this product. ...

Nikiem says "Great gentle face cleanser." about Biore Biore skin preservation clean things up

Nikiem — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 21:35:55 GMT

I recently began using the Biore skin preservation line of products and am reviewing the "clean things up" nourishing gel cleanser. This cleanser is very gentle and does not dry skin. Just like the other products in the skin preservation line, the Biore "clean things up" gel cleanser is great for those of that in between age (too old for acne - too young for wrinkles). It is not too strong, like those products aimed at teenagers, and cleanses without drying your skin. Plus, it smells wonderful, reminds me of my one of my favorite perfumes, without being overpowering. It takes very little of the cleanser - just one pump (oh, did I mention that it comes in an easy-to-use, no mess pump bottle) to get the job done. I do not yet know how it does on getting the last of the product out of the bottle, because I have not run out of my first bottle yet, even after using it for over a month (twice-a-day). Because it has lasted me so long, I think it is a great price. It has Vitamin...

Nikiem says "I love this stuff!" about Biore skinpreservation Dual Fusion Moisturizer

Nikiem — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 21:07:48 GMT

I have begun using the new line of skinpreservation products by Biore. Among the products I am using is the dual fusion moisturizer. I absolutely love this product. It is about time they have come up with facial care lines for those of us in the in-between age group (too old for acne - too young for wrinkles - think again)! LOL Most moisturizers make my skin oily and cause me to break out, but I am about to turn thirty and want to prevent further skin damage and stop looking older as much as possible. Biore Dual Fusion moisturizers fits my needs to a "T". It moisturizes my skin very well, but never causes oiliness or breakouts. Plus the spf 30 prevents further sun damage and aging. The small 1.7oz bottle lasts me for an amazingly long amount of time, and I use the product twice a day. I will not try any more facial moisturizers at this time, because I have found the one that works for me. I think it is a good deal, because it lasts a long time (does not take a lot...

Nikiem says "Sturdy swing with seatbelt great for young toddlers." about Little Tikes High Back Toddler Swing

Nikiem — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 00:07:45 GMT

My son had a great time with the Little Tikes High Back Toddler Swing for about a year; now that he's 3, though, he seems to think he's too big for it. The swing was easy to hang, and is very sturdy. It has remained outdoors this entire time through snow, ice, rain, and 100+ degree heat. It has not cracked, and has even retained it's bright red color. It's easy to maintain: just spray it with a garden hose and turn upside down to drip dry. Done. It's a great swing, but best for younger toddlers....

Nikiem says "Safe, space-saving heater with programmable temperature." about Lasko 5800 Ceramic Electric Heater

Nikiem — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 06:07:07 GMT

The Lasko 5800 Ceramic Electric Heater is a good model. You can choose what temperature you want for a small or medium size room and it will heat it extremely well. I find this heater to be safer than many others because it doesn't get too hot to the touch. I have a toddler so this is very important. If he were to touch the heater at the vent(where it gets hottest) it would be hot, but it wouldn't burn him. With the temperature setting you don't use any more energy than necessary to keep a room at a comfortable temperature. This heater can be used up against a wall so it doesn't take up much space, and is fairly stylish. I have been very satisfied with my Lasko 5800 Ceramic Electric Heater so far, and I've had it for 3 years!...

Nikiem says "Eureka Optima LightWeight Bagless Upright is easy to use." about Eureka Vacuum - Optima - Lightweight Bagless Upright Vacuum - 431A

Nikiem — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:28:54 GMT

I have had a Eureka 431A Optima Light Weight Bagless Upright Vacuum for 2 years now and am quite satisfied with it. Although, the reusable filter will lose suction over time, this little vacuum is still pretty powerful. It picks up the cat hair (and my hair) better than all other vacuums I have had. It is very easy to remove the container that traps all the dirt, and with no bag to replace - it makes a quick cleanup a snap. Plus, it's so lightweight, that it's no problem if you have to carry the vacuum to the other end of your house for on-the-spot cleanup. You can also turn off the carpet brush and use it as a sweeper on your linoleum/hardwood floors. It's a twist of a knob to switch from floor to hose/attachments. Getting those hard to reach spots in the corner have never been easier!! All in all, I think this vacuum is a great value for the price!...

Nikiem says "Beyond Excellent!" about Still Life With Crows

Nikiem — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 08:15:08 GMT

Still Life With Crows is impossible to put down! Like all the Pendergast novels, it keeps you guessing until the very end! One of the best books I've ever read! I would recommend everyone read this book! Agent Pendergast is better than Sherlock Holmes, and better than Gail Grishom on CSI. I guarantee, if you read this book, you will be hooked....
