bytheyes says "Luxurious sweet smelling pleasure" about Bath and Body Works True Blue Spa take your Sweet Time Body Polish

bytheyes — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 17:28:52 GMT

I am a soft skin lover and will go to many lengths to get it. Bath and Body Works products have been a staple in my home for years. I normally use Black Currant Vanilla hand and body creams, but this year I thought I would venture out of my rut and try something new.

I found my new love. It is True Blue Spa take your Sweet Time creamy Body Polish with Sweet Almond Oil. The scent is divine! It comes in an 8 oz jar and a little goes a long way. It is a nice light cream with Apricot seed powder to give you the polishing effect. It is similar to a microbrasion textured cream, very fine. While in the shower or tub, use Sweet Time as an exfoliant all over your body. It scrubs away your worries and leaves your skin soft and smooth. The Sweet Almond Oil adds to your wash by leaving your skin feeling moisturized and silky. The aroma is the kicker for me. i can slip away to my fantasy island with the lovely almond scent.

True Blue recommends using Mega Butter Super Softening Body butter afterwards...

bytheyes says "the suspense of a new day...." about I Have To Have That

bytheyes — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 05:26:11 GMT

I love the site, I Have To Have That. Each day you can receive an email from these very humorous guys letting you know the bargain of the day. Apparently, they buy bulk items, flexible tripods, stereo systems, massagers,etc....and sell at fabulous prices. They don't tell you how many they have in the warehouse, so its a rush to read the details while watching a little clock ticking off time. Hopefully you order one before they run out of stock. And literally, its a rush, at least for this thrill seeker.

The great thing about I Have To Have That is the price. They mark the prices down ridicuosly low, at least 40% off retail price, sometimes up to 89% off. The shipping is always noted, and, if you are one of the first 50 or 100 buyers, they give you free shipping.

I find this site interesting, fun and exciting. I've gotten some very good deals, and the products are top quality. The owners are humorous and witty writers. You never know what kind of a deal you will find, so hurry to the...

bytheyes says "I can't afford to breathe right!" about Advair Diskus

bytheyes — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 17:57:14 GMT

I was diagnosed as having Reactive Airway Syndrome and Exercise Induced asthma a couple of years back. My asthma now reacts to the changes in the weather and different smells, like the mint in my toothpaste!

I was prescribed Advair, rescue inhalers, and a nebulizer with Pulmicort and Xenopex. I couldn't stand it. Using the steriods did some unpleasant things to me, like making me have mood swings, weight gain and female problems, so I choose not to use my meds on a daily basis.

My last doctors visit was due to my lungs, I had an infection and difficulty breathing, You know, the typical outcome for someone who doesn't follow doctors orders. My doc filled out a script for the Advair. I dropped it off at the pharmacy and they later called to let me know it would cost me over $200! I can not afford that every month!

Advair did work, but the side effects for me and my kids( they got the brunt of my moodiness due to the steriods) didn't seem worth it. I read in one other review where the...

bytheyes says "If you like trying the newest products and love to gab, try Bzzz" about BzzAgent.com

bytheyes — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 00:29:55 GMT

Being a Bzz Agent is FUN!

I 've been a BzzAgent for approximately 9 months and have benefited greatly from this company. Aside from receiving free products and fantastic coupons, I get to find out about products before they even hit the shelves.

Bzz is very good with providing all necessary information re the new product; plenty of information comes with each packet. For example, Crest Whitening Strips was one of the campaigns. I received about 20 packages of strips, 5 for myself to try out, and the rest were to give away to the friends I had Bzzed to.

By getting the product first, I get a chance to try it out and gather my opinion. Then, I get to talk talk talk about the product to my friends. Having coupons or samples in hand are always welcome. These coupons are valuable, not the .50 off coupon you clip out of the paper. For the Crest Whitening Strips, they give you plenty of trial product attached to a $3.00 off coupon for future purchase.

Here is the big catch..........you have to...

bytheyes says "Bidders Beware!" about Bidz.com

bytheyes — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 08:53:40 GMT

While trolling the wonderful world of cyber sites, I came across Bidz.com. Its a flashy online bidding site. Plenty of merchandise and new bids starting every 15 seconds.

The display of sparkling, expensive looking, glittering jewelry caught my eye. I was looking at 16 different pieces of jewelry all up for bid. Numbers were flashing, prices rising higher and higher as the timer counted down another 15 seconds. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,...........bam! another bid came in and the timer started the 15 second countdown again. It was mesmerizing; looking at the pictures, reading the wonderful descriptions and seeing the "retail price" for each piece of jewelry made me want to win. I could win big, resell and make a bundle of money. That was my plan anyway.

A particular ring caught my eye. It was a "stunning" diamond ring, 3 carat total weight,set in white gold. A little too much for my particular taste, but Bidz.com displayed it clearly that this ring was worth $22,000 retail! This was going...

bytheyes says "Downy has been a life saver....!" about Downy Wrinkle Releaser All Scents

bytheyes — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 20:20:21 GMT

I have been using Downy Wrinkle Release for a couple of years now, and it is a God send. I never iron; my ironing board is down in the basement, no cover on it......heck, I don't even own an iron.

And I have to give the credit to this great product. Its so simple to use. I normally have the person wearing the article of clothing, have them pull slightly on the wrinkled areas, and I spray Downy Wrinkle Release right on it. In a few minutes, wrinkles gone!

I told my friend about Downy, and she told me to throw the clothes in the drier with a damp towel. Pfffft! Who has time for that?

This stuff is great. Super for travel. LOVE IT!

bytheyes says "Incredible acting........incredible" about Capote

bytheyes — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 06:20:33 GMT

In the film "Capote", Phillip Seymour Hoffman is at his best. He played a fantastic character in "The Talented Mr. Ripley". The movie "Capote" is deeply compelling, contributed to Hoffman's performance. He captures Truman Capote's mannerisms perfectly. He is able to convey the complexity of Capote's character just by a look on his face, a slight movement of his wrist, or the tortured look in his eyes. This is not a fun movie or action packed. It is a psychological look into a remarkable character of years gone by.

The film is about the odd life of Truman Capote and his writing career. After writing "Breakfast at Tiffany's", Capote finds himself seeking his muse for his next novel. When he hears about the brutal slaying of a family in Kansas, Capote finds himself drawn into the web of the accused killers. By using his name and status, he befriends one of the killers. He spends hours with this man, Perry, in his prison cell, while he awaits the death sentence. At first Capote feels...
