anneonymous says "non-greasy sunscreen with UVA/UVB protection" about Coppertone Sport Continuous Spray Ultra Sweatproof

anneonymous — Tue, 12 May 2009 23:13:10 GMT

I hate traditional sunscreen lotions because they take so long to apply, and sometimes leave whitish streaks on your skin. You have to be double-jointed to reach everywhere yourself, and your hands are a greasy mess afterwards! If you're active out in the heat, the feeling of sweating sunscreen into your eyes is just awful. <b>This is what makes Coppertone Sport an amazing product that's worth every penny. </b>

It applies evenly on your skin and dries almost instantaneously. Because it dries so quickly, it's easy to keep off your clothes and furniture. Spraying it on your back, neck, and shoulders is not a problem! You can even spray it upside-down. I am so happy to see they have reformulated it to block UVA and UVB rays.

This product truly lives up to its sweatproof claims and will not run. Its protection will hold up through hours of pool or beach time. The only negative is when applying the product to your face. You have to spray it into your hands, and apply...

anneonymous says "Keeps my skin nicely moisturized" about Dove Cream Oil Body Wash

anneonymous — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 00:55:33 GMT

After seeing all the ads, I thought, "Who needs ANOTHER brand of body wash?" Then, I read all the positive reviews Dove Cream Oil Body Wash was was getting. It was on sale at the grocery store, so I figured I'd give it a shot. As soon as I tried it in the shower, I knew it was different from every other body wash I've used before.

I was impressed with how silky and luxurious this product feels. You can definitely tell it's different! Regular soap is usually very drying. Now, after every shower, my skin feels clean, smooth, and moisturized. I tried the Jasmine & Vanilla scent, which doesn't smell like Jasmine or Vanilla. The scent was a little mediciney in the shower, but after the shower, it faded to a noticeable clean fresh soapy smell.

The Jasmine & Vanilla Delicate version of rinses off easier than the Supreme Cream Oil version, which otherwise works nicely. In a pinch, both will work as an emergency bubble bath too. I didn't find they left any kind of residue,...

anneonymous says "Simple to use, yet does everything I need" about Kenmore 15343 Mechanical Sewing Machine

anneonymous — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 00:28:07 GMT

After much fretting over features and models and reliability and price points, I selected this machine. I have been using it steadily for the past four months, and I think it was a great choice for me. It's simple. It's light. It's easy to set up. I didn't pay for any expensive features I don't need or would use maybe once a year. Some features sound better in theory... but are they really worth spending 2 or 3x the price? Perhaps such a simple and straightforward machine isn't right for everyone, but it's just right for me.

My favorite aspect of this Kenmore Sewing Machine is how easy it is to thread. It doesn't jam up, and it's easy to clean. I had no problem finding compatible accessories for a reasonable price. I have done quilting and garment sewing so far. The sewing machine was large enough to sew a lap-size quilt with no problems. I am confident it would do fine with a larger project.

anneonymous says "Invisible but not very anti-perspirant" about Dove clinical protection Anti Perspirant Deodorant Solid Cool Essentials 50 ml

anneonymous — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 23:39:33 GMT

I have been using Dove Clinical Protection for about two months. I found it in the regular drugstore deodorant aisle. I bought it before taking a warm weather vacation, thinking it would be great to stay dry all day long while on-the-go. Unfortunately, this product doesn't really deliver on its promises for either vay-cay or everyday wear. I still need to reapply it after strenuous activities or being out in hot weather for a few hours. I am not even that sweaty!

On the positive sides, I have found it to truly be invisible. It dries fairly quickly. There are no white spots or unsightly clumping. This product doesn't make deodorant marks on my clothes, even in the underarm area. That's pretty impressive, and helps this product rate higher than it otherwise would be.

I think the scent is pleasant and light without smelling like soap or baby powder. Once it's on, the scent is almost undetectable.

I will not be buying this product again.

anneonymous says "Everything your skin needs AND nothing it doesn't" about Paula's Choice Skin Care

anneonymous — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 23:07:36 GMT

I first came across the Paula's Choice brand when researching product reviews of other moisturizers and cosmetics. Paula Begoun is the world renowned "Cosmetics Cop," an expert writer about beauty products and ingredients. It may seem a little incongruous to speak about the legitimacy of cosmetics claims and have a line of your own,bu t you won't find any hype or unrealistic promises from Paula's Choice. What you will get are the best ingredients chosen from scientific research(not surveys or 'market research') and nothing 'extra' to harm or irritate your skin.

If you listen to Paula, much of what we believe about cosmetics is influenced by how we feel about them. Clever advertising, perfumes, and gimmicky ingredients like those that cool or warm the skin may make us think they're worth more or work better. In reality, all they do is allow the manufacturer to charge us more and they may even be irritating our skin or causing breakouts.

Paula's Choice has responded quickly whenever...

anneonymous says "The best deals on nightgowns, loungewear, and comfortable bras." about Woman Within Plus Size Clothing

anneonymous — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 22:36:52 GMT

I searched for years to find modest cotton nightwear suitable for wearing out to the mailbox or on a quick run to the corner store. Woman Within casual dresses offer me so many great choices, all for $20 or less, shipped. The seersucker dresses and cotton knits from their casual dress and loungewear collections are comfortable enough to wear to bed. And yet, I don't look out of place if I need to take the dog for a walk or go to the store to buy a newspaper. Every 'dress' I have bought has held up through multiple years and dozens of washings. I love the variety of flattering styles.

They have the widest variety of comfortable, plus size bras. In their catalogs and on the web, it's very easy to find if my unusual size is available in a particular style. I can't even come close to the incredible prices elsewhere. No other store or site has as many flattering plus size underwire-free or partial underwire options for under $25.

Returns are a breeze. Customer Service has always...

anneonymous says "Lightweight but still great for very dry skin" about Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Moisture Gel

anneonymous — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 22:12:36 GMT

Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Moisture Gel is the most soothing, clean-feeling moisturizer I have ever used. It is light, quick drying, and non-greasy, but is tremendously effective on even very dry skin. I use this product at night, or when I am wearing a separate sunscreen, as it has no sunblock in it. The price is similar to drugstore brands, but the quality is better than anything you can buy in a swanky department store or dermatologist's office.

My skin is naturally very dry, especially during the winter. I hate the heavy feeling of a greasy moisturizer. Skin Balancing Moisture Gel was absolute relief for me from dry, scaly skin. It's so light that my skin still feels clean after using it. It is unscented and contains no harmful ingredients. The product package is simple and suitable for a man or a woman. (How often do you find a moisturizer a man wouldn't be embarassed to use!?)

anneonymous says "Grain free treats without the mess" about Innova Evo Savory Turkey and Chicken Dog Treats

anneonymous — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 21:16:13 GMT

These are healthy treats that my dog absolutely loves. It's almost impossible to find grain free dog biscuits, so I was thankful to find these as an option in my local pet store. They don't dry out or spoil, and I can throw a bag in my purse, coat, or glove compartment for whenever pup-pup needs a reward. These biscuits look and feel like traditional dog biscuits, so you wouldn't know they were grain free just by looking at them.

Of course, they cost more than something like Milk Bone or Beggin' Strips that you'd buy in the grocery store, but I can feel confident in the ingredient quality and manufacturing practices Innova uses. Since the melamine tainted pet food scandals, it's been very important to me to choose my canine friend's foods carefully. I want a brand I can trust with ingredients that make sense. I know when I give my dog one of these treats, I am doing my part to help her lead a long and healthy life.

anneonymous says "Prepared meals-- as convenient as eating out, for far less $ " about Omaha Steaks

anneonymous — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 20:51:00 GMT

Few people put "Omaha Steaks" and "Saving Money" in the same sentence, but buying prepared foods from there has saved me hundreds of dollars (and thousands of calories) a month. Their website has full ingredient, preparation, and nutritional information. Most main dishes come in at 300-400 calories a serving, and serving sizes are about what we'd want to eat. This has allowed us to fit even high fat/calorie foods like meat lasagna into a healthy diet. The calories in Olive Garden lasagna are more than twice that! And for the same cost as an order of lasagna at a restaurant, we can have four good sized portions from Omaha Steaks.

We have found the quality of the prepared foods to be excellent (on par with home cooked meals, rather than tv dinners) and a great value. Everything we have tried has been equally good from the oven or microwave. Our favorites are the pot roast, stuffed sole with scallops and crab meat and lasagna, but if you're craving something sweet the apple...
