SveglioBella says "I didn't think I would ever find one my skin would like!" about Garnier Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Daily Regenerating Moisture Lotion, SPF 15

SveglioBella — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 03:59:03 GMT

I'm not big in to the beauty thing, scrubbing my face every day, or putting all that much effort in to my looks, but my skin is top priority after all the time I've spent working outside. I happened to pick this up on sale at CVS and I was pleasantly surprised at the results! I use it along with the night creme and exfoliating face scrub and my skin is softer and looks healthier, and even though it's a little pricey, it lasts so long that it's worth the cost. Not to mention, it smells fantastic!! I'm so glad I found this, it's the first face treatment that hasn't caused my skin to look like I'm 13 all over again!

SveglioBella says "I couldn't believe I was looking at my own hair!" about Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths Shampoo

SveglioBella — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 03:54:46 GMT

I have been using Pantene products for a long time, their shampoos are just top notch and not too expensive, either! This particular one brought my hair back from the dead and helped me grow it out a noticeable bit in a much shorter time than it usually takes. I'm generally plagued by having to get trims and cuts every few months while trying to grow my hair out, but before I realized it, six months had gone by, then nine before I even had to get a trim-- my split ends had almost entirely disappeared and my hair was healthy and growing like crazy! If you're trying to grow your hair out, no matter if it's usually oily or dry (my vacillates depending on the season), I highly recommend this product!

SveglioBella says "Another amazing product from Alexia" about Alexia Frozen Sweet Potato Fries

SveglioBella — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 03:50:08 GMT

I don't always want sweet potato fries, but when I do want them I find myself craving Alexia's! They're just about the perfect blend, and the right size and shape (and yes, that's important!) to pair with salmon or burgers. I'm a total french fry junkie, and these are not only versatile but delicious! Even though they are a little pricier than I'd usually like, they're frequently on sale at Target and our local grocery store.

SveglioBella says "I can't live without it!" about Netflix

SveglioBella — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 03:46:42 GMT

Netflix is an invaluable site for anyone who loves movies and is on a budget-- with thousands of movies and TV shows on DVD and BluRay, Netflix provides top quality service in addition to unbeatable convenience. If you rent more than one movie a month, this is the way to go-- their prices are great and even if you get stuck on an off day or your PO is slow, they have so much on instant play (included in membership), you'll hardly notice! I really feel like I get more than my money's worth each month, and if I ever have a problem, the customer service folks are very nice and helpful and their policies provide for immediate replacements or credits to your account. I had problems with my mail delivery and got all my discs out of order-- not only did they send me an extra disc for the rest of the month, they only charged me for two the next month (instead of the three I was getting)! The only downside is that sometimes there can be a wait for new releases, but since my queue is constantly at...

SveglioBella says "I never knew how wonderful sleep could be" about Tempurpedic Memory Foam Mattress

SveglioBella — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 05:44:18 GMT

I never thought a mattress could make this big of a difference-- of course we know that a mattress can be too soft or too hard, but boy was I surprised the first night I slept on one! My boyfriend has one and I got so hooked I would sneak in and sleep in his bed after he left for work in the morning! I slept better and my back felt better than it has in a long time, it was the perfect way to sleep after a long day of loading bags on planes! No matter what you think about the price tag, it is totally worth it. And, if you're prone to overheating, you can pick up a special pad at any Bed, Bath, and Beyond type store that can keep that from happening....

SveglioBella says "Lunch time favorite for a wing lover" about MorningStar Farms Veggie Buffalo Wings

SveglioBella — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 05:38:03 GMT

The MorningStar Farms Veggie Buffalo Wings are one of the best veggie products out there right now! I decided recently to start eating healthier (my job doesn't provide much time) and the MSF brand was recommended to me. Being a chicken nugget/buffalo wing lover, I decided to try these and wow! They're really delicious, and a serving size (5 pieces) is surprisingly filling! The breading makes a bit of a mess, so make sure you put them on a baking sheet, but they're really yummy and have just enough kick to them without going overboard....

SveglioBella says "Your favorite guilty pleasure-- or soon to be!" about Scrubs

SveglioBella — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 05:33:26 GMT

Scrubs is one of those shows that seems like it ought to be really stupid and you don't want to watch it, but once you start you just can't stop! With a genuine feel to the every-day comedy, Scrubs is one of the few shows that doesn't rely on exaggerated stereotypes to play up the funny, nor does it try to shy away from the tragic situations that are bound to happen when one works at a hospital. Even through seven seasons, the show has only garnered more affection rather than a waning audience like most sitcoms. If you're looking for a feel-good comedy, check it out-- it always brightens my day!...

SveglioBella says "A new must-see on the Atlanta tourist circuit!" about Georgia Aquarium - Atlanta, GA

SveglioBella — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 05:29:05 GMT

The Georgia Aquarium is probably the most impressive museum/zoo I've been to in all of my travels. I remember being awed by the Chattanooga Aquarium when I was younger, and I can't imagine how the Georgia one would have blown my mind at that age. I'm an Atlanta native and whenever I feel like relaxing and watching the most amazing creatures on earth, it's not too much trouble to hop on MARTA (the city transportation) and head to the Aquarium. With affordable family memberships and individual tickets, it's no burden on the wallet, and they're constantly adding new exhibits including one on the Titanic in Spring '09! The Aquarium is also an eco-friendly institution, with all of the larger animals being rescued. Sadly, the Beluga whales are down to one because the others couldn't survive their condition (they were rescued from a theme park in Mexico where they sustained severe infections), but they're looking in to getting more. Vetrinary students from the state universities help take care......

SveglioBella says "Another amazing product from Hyundai-- a must see!" about Hyundai Santa Fe - 2007

SveglioBella — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 05:22:55 GMT

I have always driven Hyundais-- my mother got our first one in 1994, the next in '97 which was passed to me and I've just bought a Santa Fe. These cars are great-- really comfortable, luxury feel, and excellent gas mileage for a crossover SUV! Plus, it has plenty of room to haul things around, so while it isn't as great as another Hyundai station wagon would be it's still top notch. Hyundai also has fantastic safety ratings and having been in three accidents in Hyundais and one in a Toyota, the Hyundai was head and shoulders above the other. I walked away from each one with minimal damage to myself and though I had to do some extensive body work, the way the car is manufactured, I didn't have to replace or repair any of the inside workings (aka, the expensive stuff). All in all, I highly recommend this car-- it's safe, luxurious yet affordable, and not too bad on the gas mileage; what more could you want?...

SveglioBella says "Garmin's Nuvi is easy to use and extremely helpful!" about Garmin - Nuvi 660

SveglioBella — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 05:18:07 GMT

I recently encountered the Garmin Nuvi on a trip with my in-laws to Daytona Beach. None of us had ever been there before and were completely lost, but the Garmin system helped us find our way around with no problems-- it even found the best route back in to Atlanta, which is surprisingly hard for technology most of the time! The easy-to-use touch screen was simple enough for my mother-in-law (the least technically savvy of us) to use and if we wanted to get lost for a while, it was easy enough to touch a button and shut it down or just turn down the voice. It was also compact enough to slip in to a handbag when we went in to restaurants (which we found thanks, of course, to the Garmin!)....

SveglioBella says "Target's pregnancy test is ace; clear and straightforward." about Target Early Detection Pregnancy Test

SveglioBella — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 05:12:58 GMT

While a pregnancy test may not seem immediately like something you'd look for, the Target one is not only less expensive than the other brands, but just as easy to use and has a clear result-- no questions about how many lines or what color or any of that. The directions are straightforward and though I've taken them seven times in the last two years I have never had a false positive, probably thanks to the easy to follow directions. If you're trying to get pregnant, or even just cautious, and don't want to break the bank, I highly recommend this product....
