SpeedBink says "light, fun... good for day and night" about Origins Ginger Essence

I've tried Origins products before and thoroughly enjoyed them... but hadn't been in for a long time til a friend of mine took me along with her.

I didn't notice this right away, but when I started checking out some of their scents, I noticed this one is light and pleasant... it's spicy but not heavy... The salesperson mentioned that their whole Ginger line is their most popular, I can see why.

I love the roll on applicator... it closes with a nice screw on lid. I feel safe putting it in my purse or luggage without worrying that it's going to leak. And the roll on doesn't dispense a whole lot at once so I don't have to worry about fragrance overload for me or those around me.

It starts with a ginger smell and then finishes with a citrus scent. Good for all ages. Good for those who like lighter scents or those who tend to be sensitive, like me, to scents that are too heavy or fruity or woodsy.

And it has a decent price point, so to have a bottle of this doesn't cost as much as...

SpeedBink says "my lips feel smooth, soft and nourished" about Mary Kay Satin Lips

I thought I'd try this out when a friend of mine came forward about being a Mary Kay salesperson. I've used Blistex and loved it but found that I had to re-apply a lot in order to control my dry lips. I liked the look of the ultra glossy lip gloss but found them to be sticky... not sexy.

The mask helps get the flakes off when chapping does occur and the balm is nice and shiny without being sticky. It doesn't have a strong smell or flavor so it won't affect the smell or taste of things when I eat. And when I give my honey a kiss, I'm not grossing him out with my balm.

And it's long lasting... I've had my balm for about six months now and it's still got plenty of balm in it... that's a good value to me.

SpeedBink says "I feel good about feeding this to my cats." about Blue Spa Select Tender Turkey & Chicken Entree Canned Food

I used to purchase Iams and was in the local pet supply store when a representative suggested this brand. I love that it has no by products, I feel safer giving this to my cats for their nutritional well being. And they seem to really like it to, when I added it to their diet, they didn't shy away and they didn't seem to suffer from any form of indigestion.

You can't find it at the local grocery store, but it is available at the big name pet supply places as well as the more boutique pet supply places.

It is marginally more expensive than the Iams I used to purchase, but I think it's worth it to keep my cats healthy and not needing to go to the vet all the time. I only get so many years with them, I want those years to be quality years.

My cats don't ask for much of anything, the least I can do is feed them well.

SpeedBink says "I would recommend it to my grandmother" about Honeywell Heater - Digital Low Profile Silent Comfort Heater

I've had built in baseboard heaters before and loved them. When I saw there was a space heater version, I knew it would work well at keeping my room warm without costing me a fortune to run.

I enjoy the timer feature too, so I can feel safe leaving it on when I'm not the last one to leave in the morning. I don't have to worry that it's going to be on all day wasting energy.

I actually turned off my big gas wall heater which did nothing but heat a little spot around it and the vaulted ceiling waaayyy above my head.

I would buy this again.
