PattyTherre says "This foot soap doesn't live up to any of its claims. A dud." about Avon Foot Works Exfoliating Bar Soap

PattyTherre — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 04:33:33 GMT

Quick View: I am all about soft skin year round and I use a variety of foot scrubs to keep my feet supple. When I saw this bar soap, it seemed like an easy way to exfoliate and soften my feet without the mess that foot scrub makes. It was very disappointing!

My Take on Avon Foot Works Exfoliating Bar Soap

This soap is light blue with little dark flecks of shells in it. It's a nice size at 4.2 ounces. It hardly has any scent which is unusual for a foot product. Generally they are more strongly scented to deodorize and leave feet fragrant. The scent is a barely there fresh one. Nothing special comes to mind when I sniff it.

Avon Foot Works Exfoliating Bar Soap lathers but I don't feel those little flecks of shells exfoliating at all. It is a very, very gentle soap and doesn't do the job or even half the job or the least potent foot scrub I own.

My feet don't feel hydrated after use, which Avon promises, and they don't feel smoother. They simply are clean which I can get with any cleanser...

jasyjen says "We laughed so hard from this movie, my husband almost threw up!" about The Hangover

jasyjen — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 21:19:53 GMT

OH-MY-GOD! The Hangover is one of the FUNNIEST movies I have ever seen in my life. If you have ever, even just once, drank much more than you should have and have been unable to remember the night before, you will find this movie absolutely riotous!

NO SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW---

The Hangoveris a 2009 film that is about four men that head to Las Vegas, as one of the men is about to be married. The trip to Las Vegas is supposed to last just one night, and is a bachelor's party of sorts that goes horribly wrong. To quickly sum up the worst of it, when then men wake up in the morning, there is a tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet, and the groom-to-be has gone missing. The remainder of the movie is the other men's attempt at locating their lost friend and trying to piece together what happened that they cannot remember.

Honestly, The Hangover was so hilarious, there were parts in the movie that had my husband and I laughing so hard, we had to rewind the movie to see what...

jasyjen says "These night vision goggles really work! VERY COOL TOY." about EyeClops Night Vision Infared Stealth Goggles V2

jasyjen — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 20:51:13 GMT

My eight year son asked for a pair of spy glasses that would work in the dark for Christmas. I had no idea what he wanted, so I went to the store looking for something that matched the description. I saw a pair of Spy Gear night vision goggles, but in all honestly, they looked like they were made really cheap and I refused to buy them. I went to a few stores before I found these goggles that cost about $ 45.00. They were made by Eyeclops, and they looked a lot more durable than the Spy Gear brand. I was a little turned off by the price though, and didn't buy them right away. After about a month of looking, I broke down and bought the Eyeclops Night Vision Infared Stealth Goggles, and I am SO GLAD that I did! These are one of the coolest toys I have ever purchased! THEY REALLY WORK! I mean they REALLY work! You can use them in complete darkness and see as clear as a bell with them. The Eyeclops Night Vision Infared Stealth Goggles look a lot like a bulky pair of binoculars.......

jasyjen says "Feels wonderful on your skin, and smells fabulous too." about Biore 4-in-1 Self-Foaming Cleanser

jasyjen — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 20:22:48 GMT

My husband always fills my Christmas stocking with products that I can pamper myself with. This year, he was sweet enough to give me a Biore' product that I had never used. It is Biore 4-in-1 Self-Foaming Cleanser and I LOVE IT! The smell alone is just amazing, and if I had picked it up at the store myself, it's the gentle scent that would have sold me on it. To me, the scent is reminiscent of a high-quality product that a professional at a spa would apply to your face.

Aside from smelling great, what I love about Biore 4-in1 Self-Foaming Cleanser is that it does the job of four separate skin products. It cleanses your skin and leaves it feeling squeaky clean, plus it tones, stimulates, and detoxifies it in a way that leaves skin feeling refreshed and vibrant.

As a person with slightly oily skin, I can't use any beauty product that will make that oily condition any worse. Biore 4-in-1 Self-Foaming Cleaner is oil-free and safe to use everyday. It cleans away toxins from...

PattyTherre says "So sticky, I feel like I just smeared syrup on my lips!" about Avon Mark Caribbean Shine Lip Gloss

PattyTherre — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 07:45:54 GMT

Quick View: This product is more of a balm than a gloss. It is very thick and VERY sticky. It hydrates but it's too thick for me. I feel like I need to wipe it off!

My Take on Avon Mark Caribbean Shine Lip Gloss

This gloss comes in a clear plastic squeezy tube with a slanted plastic tip to apply. There are three "beachy" swirled shade combinations. I chose "Kiss on the Beach" which has swirls of pink, brown, and white. It's pretty to look at!

The gloss has a sweet taste and a chocolately scent. It's more like cocoa butter, I think, than a true chocolate scent. It lightly tints lips (in the case of Kiss on the Beach, the tint is a deep pink. The others are what look to be a brown and a coral) and does add shine.

My issue with this product is that it is incredibly thick. I usually like good coverage but sticky, gooey stuff on my lips is not a good feeling. No matter how lightly I apply, it's still very thick and sticky.

Usually when balms or glosses are this thick, they last a long time on...

PattyTherre says "Tarte lifts me up where eye belong! Smooth, lifted eyelids." about Tarte Lifted Natural Eye Primer With Firmatrol

PattyTherre — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 01:01:53 GMT

Quick View: I always wear eyeshadow primer to lengthen the time my shadow stays in. I discovered Tarte Lifted Natural Eye Primer With Firmatrol on the Tarte website during a 40% off sale and decide dto try it. I really like the subtle lift and smoothing this product gives my lids and it's a good primer as well.

My Take on Tarte Lifted Natural Eye Primer With Firmatrol

This product comes in a typical mascara-like tube with a small sponge tipped applicator. It is a light nude color and very creamy. I just apply a couple of swipes of the applicator sponge along my lids then blend. It dries fast and leaves a smooth canvas for eyeshadow. It also almost immediately tightens the kids and smooths them for more youthful looking eyes.

Tarte Lifted Natural Eye Primer contains no Parabens, Petrochemicals, Phthalates, Sulfates, GMOs, or Triclosan. It is considered a "green" product due to its lack of chemicals and its special tube that breaks down in landfills much faster than similar tubes.

Jo says "New Green Acres RV Park, SC: A great overnight stay" about New Green Acres RV Park, Walterboro, South Carolina

Jo — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 23:59:27 GMT

We left Massachusetts several days ago heading south. The first campground in which we stayed one night was New Green Acres RV Park in Walterboro, SC.

Information you may want:

www.newgreenacres.com
396 Campground Road, Walterboro, SC 29488
(843) 538-3450
The longest and widest pull-thru sites east of the Missisippi. That is according to the website; however, the sites were very long and although we are used to backing, in most of the sites were pull-throughs so we went with that.
Electric hook-up (30 and 50 amp)
Water and sewer
Cable- but note: it is an additional $2.00.
Laundry
Swimming Pool
Children's Playground - Note: I wan't all that impressed with the playground. All in all I consider New Acres a great place to stay for a night of two but it is not a destination campground- especially since it seemed to be in the middle of nowhere!
Dog Playground
Wireless Internet Service though we didn't use it so it either wasn't available or it was to hard to use.

jazzybean01 says "Good all purpose cloths" about Classic Essentials 3 Set of Dish Cloths

jazzybean01 — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 06:18:17 GMT

The Classic Essentials 3 Set of Dish Cloths, is one of those things I bought on a whim. I was cruising down one of the store aisles and saw these dish cloths and just threw them in my basket, and I'm glad I did.

The Essentials Dish Cloths are very versatile around the house. Also, why buy expensive products to use as rags and cleaners. I use them for doing dishes, or cleaning counters or other spills on the floor. When they start to get too ratty I use them to clean the bathroom. The Essential Dish Cloth are convenient for many household jobs and outdoor alike. I've used the Essential Dish Cloths for doing dishes, cleaning cat carriers and cleaning hardwood floors. They also might be a good cheap rag to have in the garage. When they get trashed they are easy and cheap to replace.

The only thing about the Essentials Dish Cloth is that it does "bleed" quite a bit in the first couple of uses; even more so than other towels. So just make sure to wash them out a few...

jazzybean01 says "My Hot Cocoa Pants are perfect for wintery days" about Life Is Good Flannel Hot Cocoa Lounge Pant

jazzybean01 — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 06:08:50 GMT

Many people have noticed clothing with cute characters and scenes on them saying things like "Chill Out" with a guy on an inner tube, "The Journey is the Destination" with a picture of muddy hiking boots, and of course the most well known "Life is Good" with Jake and trusty dog Rocket. Life Is Good clothing has taken the industry by storm, and has products for every type of person.

Recently while perusing a local clothing store, I came across the Life Is Good section and spent a while looking at all the varieties of clothing to choose from. I came away with Flannel Hot Cocoa Lounge Pants. The pants are chocolate brown with cups of steaming hot chocolate all over them. My Hot Cocoa Lounge Pants are perfect for just lounging around and inspire a day of reading and drinking hot cocoa. I wear them to bed. They do twist around a lot but I also buy too big of pants so they're nice and comfy and not binding They do have a drawstring on them, but I tend to stray away from using...

jazzybean01 says "The dog and cat will fight over this Paw Appeal Bed" about Paw Appeal Dream Pocket Round Bed

jazzybean01 — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 00:53:45 GMT

Finding the perfect bed for my dog is like trying to hang up a picture during an earthquake...impossible. I scoured many a place and magazine to finally find one that would fit my dogs picky needs; the Paw Appeal Dream Pocket Round Bed.

First, my dog likes to burrow under covers which was a huge consideration in buying the Dream Pocket Round Bed. The bed has a soft shelled cover that can lay flat, or allow for my dog to burrow under it and fell like he's under a blanket. This aspect would be very comforting for those dogs with anxiety, mamma dogs or even puppies. The cover can be unzipped to extend the bed, but I don't see the use of that as the cover is a lot thinner than the rest of the bed. The cover does come completely off. This brings me to consideration number two. The bed itself on the Dream Pocket Round Bed is thick and fluffy. It doesn't have cheap foam padding like other beds. It's so soft and comfy that I would sleep on the Dream Pocket Round Bed if it...

PattyTherre says "If you're gonna do purple eyeliner, be HIP and do it right!" about L'Oreal HIP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner, Eggplant

PattyTherre — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 03:08:12 GMT

Quick View: I'm obsessed with the color purple and have been buying purple eyeliner and mascara but have generally not liked the color. I am brunette with brown eyes and I like a very deep purple as opposed to a violet shade. I tried L'Oreal HIP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner in Eggplant and wow! The liner is dark, deep, and very dramatic. I like it!

My Take on L'Oreal HIP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner, Eggplant 960

This cream eyeliner comes in Black, Teal, Navy, Brown, and Eggplant. I bought the Eggplant because I wanted a dark purple liner and this one looked very deep. The brush included is not great. I can use it but I prefer to use my Smashbox eyeliner brush for a much more even line.

The cream is very thick and only a bit is needed. It does glide on well and looks very intense. It is almost a black purple shade which is exactly what I wanted. Anything less would look kind of weird with my skin coloring and at my age (45).

The liner is super pigmented as all HIP products are. It is intense...

PattyTherre says "Nothing magic about this air freshener. Didn't last long at all." about Citrus Magic Solid Air Freshener (227 Gr.; 8oz)

PattyTherre — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 05:54:49 GMT

Quick View: This product is natural which is clearly a plus but not only is it big and ugly, it doesn't last long at all. For $6.00, I expect a solid freshener to work for at least a few weeks. I am not at all impressed with Citrus Magic Solid Air Freshener.

My Take on Citrus Magic Solid Air Freshener

This product comes in a round, white plastic tub with slits in it for the solid freshener inside to release its scent. It's big and ugly so I hide it behind things or put it near the litter box but it doesn't have the power to destroy tough odors like litter box type ones.

I bought the Citrus fragrance. There two others as well. It smelled orangey and decent when I opened the package but it soon faded. It was only fresh smelling for a week or two and then I smelled nothing at all. Now, this is a natural product and does contain charcoal to absorb odors so it could have been doing so without a scent but I didn't feel the house smelled fresher after a couple weeks of using the Citrus Magic Solid...

PattyTherre says "Tastes great and good for you too. Eat em up, yum!" about Thomas' Better Start High Fiber 100 Calories English Muffins

PattyTherre — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 05:13:15 GMT

Quick View: My family calls me a fiber freak. And I am. I believe fiber fills you up and keeps you full and it aids in good digestive health. I don't get nearly enough fiber for the most part so I am always on the lookout for foods that boost my intake. Thomas' Better Start High Fiber 100 Calories English Muffins have 5 grams of fiber per muffin and taste great. They really are a better start to anyone's day!

My Take on Thomas' Better Start High Fiber 100 Calories English Muffins

These English muffins look exactly like regular ones. They come six to a package and need to be sliced into halves to toast. Each weighs 1.8 ounces which is just about what other English muffins weigh.

They taste exactly the same as English muffins at a restaurant or that you buy in a store with little or no fiber in them. At just 100 calories, 1 gram of fat, and 4 grams of protein, the hefty 5 grams of fiber in every muffin is an added benefit to these low cal, low fat muffins.

I toast them and add fat free cream...

jazzybean01 says "Active Crew Socks keep me active without slowing me down" about FootSmart Women's Diabetic Active Crew Socks

jazzybean01 — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 03:38:47 GMT

I was currently in search of comfortable socks that I could wear with my tennis shoes that were soft, durable and comfortable. I found the Women's Diabetic Active Crew Sock from FootSmart. I've bought other socks and shoes from this company so I knew they were great and comfy.

The Diabetic Active Crew Socks are recommended for sensitive feet like mine. These socks help keep me on my feet all day in comfort unlike other socks, I'm not constantly adjusting them or pulling them up and the cushioning never wears out like many other socks. I love that the Active Crew Socks keep me active all day and my feet don't ache after hours of running around. I've had the Active Crew Socks for over a year and they still are great, the padding remains and they haven't started thinning nor do they have any holes in them; the same condition as the day I bought them! The Active Crew Socks are perfect for wearing with tennis shoes and boarder shoes, but not such much with big boots (snow...

jazzybean01 says "Chill Buster's are my haven in the wintery wonderland I live in" about FootSmart Chill Buster Socks

jazzybean01 — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 03:19:56 GMT

Last winter I moved back home where it's cold and snowy in the winter making me depend on snow boots. All my socks were pretty much regular tennis shoe socks and would slip down in my boots. So on my hunt for good boot socks I found the Chill Buster Socks by Footsmart (online).

What I like about Chill Buster Socks: Chill Buster Socks are nice and thick and guaranteed no slipping down in my boots, but they're not too tight either. These wool blend socks don't fray or shed like some other socks. Chill Buster Socks keep my feet warm without making them hot and keeps my feet dry. Although sometimes if I wear them in the house with the heaters up they get a little toasty. Chill Buster Socks are nice and cushy without all the bulk in my boot. There's even a cool built in design to keep these socks from bunching and they're diabetic friendly!

Chill Buster Socks are my preferred sock to wear in cold weather. Not only are they perfect for my day to day trekking through...

PattyTherre says "Adidas Tropical Passion is fruity but best for young women." about Adidas For Women Tropical Passion Eau De Toilette Spray

PattyTherre — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 05:45:29 GMT

Quick View: I adore fruity fragrances, especially lemon, lime, and orange scents. When I saw Adidas For Women Tropical Passion Eau De Toilette Spray (1.7 ounce) for under $10.00 while shopping online, I added it to my cart. It does smell nice but it's very unsophisticated and the scent fades fast.

My Take on Adidas For Women Tropical Passion Eau De Toilette Spray

This fragrance comes in a glass 1.7 ounce bottle and is tinted slightly orange. It has notes of tangerine, melon, pineapple, magnolia, orange blossom, cedar and musk. It sounded like an amazing light scent that I would enjoy. And I do. But the fragrance is very ... unsophisticated for lack of a better word. It is straight up fruity with orange notes being the strongest.It doesn't change as it dries down. In fact, it smells much more like a body mist than an eau de toilette. And it lasts about as long.

Adidas For Women Tropical Passion Eau De Toilette Spray is strong to start. It is almost overwhelmingly fruity. It then dries down...

Jo says "It may be hard to find your jewels at YardSaleTreasureMap.com" about YardSaleTreasureMap

Jo — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 23:23:26 GMT

I was elated when I read about www.YardSaleTreasureMap.com. I love to go to yard sales. Before we moved I would plot out my morning by streets and spend several hours at yard sales.

Not knowing the area quite so well I have limited my hobby to yard sales on one long street in my town. www.YardSaleTreasureMap.com is simple to use. I just put in my starting address, the maximum miles I want to drive and the day I want to go treasure hunting.

When I saw a red balloon I clicked on the listing and found the specific time of the yard sale and where it was. There were details of what would be for sale as well.

There are two problems with www.YardSaleTreasureMap.com.

The listings are taken from www.craigslist.com. That is very limiting for someone like me who lives in a suburban area 50 minutes from Boston. Yard sales are posted in local newspapers or just via signs on the trees. I found one yard sale in my town. I put in Boston and found a few more but not enough for me to rave about YardSaleTreasureMap.com....

jasyjen says "If you want to make your dog smile, give them this food!" about Pedigree Little Champions; Pouched Dog Food

jasyjen — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 21:35:03 GMT

As a very special treat, I purchase a box of Pedigree Little Champions packets for my two dogs to share. My pups usually get dry food only, so giving them a combination of the wet food and dry food together was a big treat for them.

I absolutely LOVE the way Pedigree Little Champions comes packaged. In one box, you get several pouches of food. Each pouch is one serving. The serving is small - Only a little over five ounces. The pouches are lined up nice and neatly in the box, so you can keep them all stored in the box until they are gone. The pouches are very easy to open and the food, literally, slides right out. You don't have to get a spoon and dig it out, or bang on the bottom it to get the food out....it just slides right out. SO EASY! Since the servings are so small, I mix it in with the dry food and give it to my pups. THEY LOVE IT! I have never seen my dogs devour their food with such intensity. They don't eat it down very fast, it's almost as if they are...

jasyjen says "Get the scent of a freshly cut Christmas tree with this product!" about ScentSicles Scented Ornaments

jasyjen — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 21:18:41 GMT

While out shopping, I was speaking to another shopper about how much I miss the Glade holiday scent, Glistening Snow. Discontinued this year, it was the only scent that I had ever found that smelled like Christmas. As we were talking, the woman happened to mention a product I had never heard of. ScentSicles. She informed me that ScentSicleswere sold at Walmart (where I happened to be) and worked really well in giving an authentic scent of pine.

I was able to located ScentSiclesscented ornaments in with the seasonal merchandise in Walmart. They were actually on an endcap all by themselves. There were only two packages left, and I bought the 'White Pine' scent. ScentSicles are green sticks that you hang directly on the Christmas tree. There were six ScentSiclesto a pack and each stick was about 5" in length. The top of each stick in capped with a silver area where you can insert a ornament hanger. The package is tightly sealed, and when you open it up, the sticks are wrapped...
