beachinamy says "Weight Watchers = Health Watchers!" about Weight Watchers

beachinamy — Fri, 08 May 2009 21:57:06 GMT

I am a Weight Watchers dropout. I am a Weight Watchers comeback. I am a Weight Watchers quitter. I am a Weight Watchers try againer. I am a Weight Watchers loser. :) And I am now a Weight Watchers not goer. This may sound silly, or even confusing to you - but it is what happened to me and my husband, and it happens to others as well. Perhaps you are one of those. Does Weight Watchers work? You bet it does! Is the staff supportive and helpful? Always! Do you get excited when you step on the scale and hear raves? Oh yeah! So I guess you are now wondering why I didn't stay. Why I left the first time, came back, left, came back . . . you get the picture. The reason is the only thing that made me give Weight Watchers 4 stars instead of a 5-star review: MONEY. Of course, when you think of how much less it costs than going to something like Jenny Craig, Nutra-Systems, Metabolic Weight Loss, or a plain ol' diet doctor, you would think money shouldn't be a deciding factor. Unfortunately, in today's...

beachinamy says "Travolta on the marquee = Smash Hit!" about Top 10 John Travolta Movies

beachinamy — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:47:21 GMT

What can you say about Top 10 John Travolta Movies, except that you can find something wonderful for everyone in everything John Travolta does! He is an accomplished actor, singer, dancer, comedian, and humanitarian. He can take a so-so character and make your heart wrap around the role. In light of the recent tragedy that the Travolta family had to deal with, in the loss of Jett Travolta, many people expected a withdrawal from Travolta. Not the case, you can be sure of that! John and Kelli are so dedicated to helping others that their first thoughts are never of themselves. They will bounce back and be even stronger. They will continue to capture the hearts of movie-goers everywhere. And his movies? What on earth would we do without Grease? Saturday Night Fever? Face Off? Michael? It just goes on and on! In short, Travolta's Top 10 is almost a laughable term. If John is in it, it's TOPS. Top ALL. John lives just minutes from my house. I hear his jet fly in and out. I pray for his...

beachinamy says "Honest auto mechanics are not a thing of the past!" about Don's Garage - Ocala, FL

beachinamy — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:32:09 GMT

Don's Garage, located on the "S-curve" is one of the businesses that has thrived throughout the years. When you give great service, with dependable mechanics on board, you earn the reputation that gives Don's the local edge. I used to use AA Auto Repair, which was owned by Jim Vail. I know there are a lot of people who were sad to see him leave when he sold. Many of those people don't realize that Jim is now a mechanic at Don's Garage! So here we have the long-time service reputation Don's has earned, and the opportunity to get our favorite mechanic back! I was ecstatic to learn Jim was working for Don's. I know that any time I need a problem diagnosed, I can count on honest answers. I know enough about Jim Vail to know that he would never work for a business that didn't have the high standards of excellence, performance, honesty, and integrity that he has. You can count on Don's to provide quick, excellent service - at an affordable (and honest!) rate. They stand by their work, and you...

beachinamy says "Strenuous indoor workout!" about Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds: Walk and Kick

beachinamy — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:19:28 GMT

If you are looking for a strenuous workout, and a sure-fire way to lose those unwanted pounds, gain strength and stamina, and boost your cardio-vascular performance, then you should consider purchasing the Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds: Walk and Kick video. It is easy to follow, and you can pace yourself until you feel comfortable enough to keep up. The people in Leslie's video are real people - just like you and me. They aren't models or perfect figured people. Yes, they look fit - but that's because Leslie's workout works! Sometimes it does get a little tedious, doing the same workout, and listening to the same dialogue. I solve that problem by putting my favorite music CD on once I've learned all the moves. This gives it an extra "twist" because I feel like I'm dancing instead of exercising! I wouldn't suggest doing it this way until you have mastered all the moves, and learned Leslie's technique. She is amazing, and you will hurt in places you never knew you had! Don't they...

beachinamy says "Move over Starbucks - I grind my own!" about Krups Cofee Grinder - 203-42

beachinamy — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 15:27:05 GMT

Ever since I purchased my Krups Coffee Grinder - 203-42, I have been enjoying the greatest coffee ever! I used to think the brand of coffee was the most important factor in perking a great pot. My mind has changed! The key is having fresh coffee! I grind it as I need it, and my Krups Coffee Grinder takes all the guesswork out of consistency for the best flavor. The aroma as the beans are grinding puts me in a "cafe" sort of mood, and I eagerly await the finished product. I bought a grinder for a friend of mine, too. She thinks of me every time she takes a sip of coffee -- and her friends think she is a genius! If only they knew it was Krups who makes us so smart!! I noticed there were comments about cleaning the grinder. I have found it isn't necessary to clean the Krups Coffee Grinder. The texture of the coffee is such that it empties easily from the grinder. A quick upside down shake of the cup and the grounds are gone! This is a great product!!

beachinamy says "I hate laundry - but I LOVE my Bosch!!!" about Bosch Nexxt Washer - 500 Front Load

beachinamy — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 15:04:25 GMT

My Bosch Nexxt Washer - 500 Front Load is without a doubt my favorite appliance! I hate doing laundry. It is one of the most annoying, yet necessary household chores there is. Before I was the happy owner of the Bosch Nexxt, I spent hours - pretty much killing a day off - doing my laundry. Well, happily I can say, NOT ANY MORE! The capacity is incredible, the efficiency is amazing, and the results are clothes that come out looking and smelling fresher than they ever have, second only to brand new. I especially like the ease of operation, and the mildew resistance due to such a tight seal in the door. I can forget a load is in, leave it all day, and when I get home from work, the clothes are ready to be dried, smelling as fresh as if they had just finished the cycle. I can't say enough about the Bosch Nexxt Washer, except that if you are reading this review, you are interested in getting the best product for your money. You just found it! Now go make your life easier - you'll be glad you...

beachinamy says "Pantene Conditioning Shampoo gives my hair lustre and bounce!" about Pantene Pro-V 2 in 1 Classic Clean

beachinamy — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 14:55:24 GMT

Being a licensed cosmetologist, and having access to all professional products, one would think I would use them. Well, I remember when Pantene was a professional product - back in the 70's. Their perms were amazing, and when I first tried Pantene shampooing products, I fell in love! My hair is heavily highlighted (often), yet the condition is amazing. Even right after processing, it looks soft and natural. It never feels coarse or dry, as with the so-called "professional" products many cosmetologists "push" on their clientele. Retail sales for me are never very high, because I don't recommend products based on the commission I receive. I recommend products I believe in - and I believe in Pantene. The conditioner in the product closes the cuticle (outer) layer of the hair strands, enabling light to bounce off the hair. This is the only true way to healthy shine! Other products may use shine ingredients, producing an artificial shine that wears off over time. True shine comes from a closed...
