chelseygato says "glamourousness to the S!" about Maybelline Shinylicious Lip Gloss

chelseygato — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:18:42 GMT

Maybelline shiny licious in number 50 sugar plum is a beautiful gloss which was given to me by my eighteen year old daughter, Stacy. This product is made in the United States. It is a .38 fl. oz. tube which is small yet not used up immediately. The color of the cap is the same as the color on my lips, yet it is also different in the tube. I keep it by the desk computer for right when I go to the busstop each afternoon for after a day of monotonous chores I know at least my lips look and feel good. There are 2 other shades also given to me the same day by my daughter which I have not yet tried because i simply prefer this shade I tried first.

It is thin enough to be shoved in a tight jean pocket and the lid screws on, not like some chapsticks. I had a saddening experience with pokemon chapsticks where the lid and cute pokemon character were there, but the chapstick had disappeared wherever my daughter had been.

chelseygato — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:41:44 GMT

My 8 yr old was 7, my son was 21, my other daughter 17, my other son 16, my 4th child was 15. Hubby was 43 and me 44. Almost a year ago and I yearn for the cold crappy weather to return!...

chelseygato says "tastes as good a s smells" about Bigelow - Pumpkin Spice Autumn Spiced Tea

chelseygato — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:37:15 GMT

BIGELOW Pumpkin Spice Autumn Spiced Tea comes in a box of 20 which are each individuallly wrapped in orange foillike paper. Black tea, cinnamon, licorice root, clove, and ginger all make this smell heavenly as it is steeping. Blended and packaged in the U.S. A.; this tea is gluten free. I have a special bread mix I ordered through Amazon.com and I intend to add this tea at room temperature where the recipe calls for warm water. My eighteen year old daughter and my eight year old daughter both drank this tea today hot with ice cubes added because they couldn't wait for it to cool down.

My seventeen year old son who loves green teas is unusually disgusted and says it tastes terrible. He doesn't like pumpkin cheesecake, either so I would not even mention it except maybe you the reader of my survey may have a son JUST LIKE MINE... If so, I wanted to be fair and warn you. If you like it, you seem to really like this tea.

The box was printed with vegetable based ink and...

chelseygato says "PLENTY FOR DAILY USE" about CLAIRE'S CLAIRE'S EAR CARE ANTISEPTIC

chelseygato — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:17:44 GMT

CLAIRE'S EAR CARE ANTISEPTIC was given when my eight year old daughter Aimee had her ears pierced in August. My daughter Stacy had her ears pierced at a different store in the same mall when she was three years younger than this daughter is now and every thing went wrong. The bottle I was given lasted a little over a week and I was told to use rubbing alcohol or peroxide.

Not so this time at Claire's. The form had over 12 places where I had to hear something and then sign my name or initials. This huge fuschia and white bottle is about 4 times the size of what I had over a decade ago with my first daughter. We use it three times a day and she is still wearing the same earrings over two months later. With fuschia on the bottle and it's size, it was easier to remember it. With my paranoia after my other daughter's repeated nasty swellings and infections, it was unlikely I would forget anyways but I do have five children. For anybody who wants to have their child's ears pierced...

chelseygato says "Horrifyingly realistic; I have a teen daughter." about Taken

chelseygato — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:32:48 GMT

TAKEN

TAKEN is a movie. I want to say horrible movie. It is not horrible; the content is horrible and it is a fantastic movie. I want to hug him and console him as his friend. Liam Neeson made me begin worrying again. I've had 2 teenage girls deaths close to home right before my first son began walking to middle school and parents here were terrified for months. That was about 10 years ago.

The girl who dies I want to pummel in the beginning for being so stupid and putting her friend in danger. At the same time i want so desperately to save her.

The musician at the end calms us somewhat with a happy upbeat future for his daughter and him being more important to her. She was always important to him, but this nightmare changed their relationship.

These things do happen and some people will still be careless and carefree and pay the price. Oftentimes taking a friend or relative into the situation.

Maggie Grace (Martha Moxley in the telefilm "Murder in Greenwich.") also starred...

We go across state every summer in it thru the mountains. 4 out of 5 of our children go with us. Roomy and as comfortable as we can get. My husband does not want to trade it in for a newer model....

chelseygato says "Clint as only Clint can be" about Gran Torino

chelseygato — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:05:30 GMT

GRAN TORINO

GRAN TORINO Widescreen Edition was a movie which I borrowed this weekend to view with my husband after the children went to bed. I have 5 children. Obviously, 8 year old Aimee watching was never an option. I have a 22 yr old son who will eventually. My 18 yr old has too much college "stuff' going on period. My 17 yr old will another day and my 15 year old will in maybe a year.

We live in a very racial area and my children are half Pennsylvania Dutch and half Mexican. I was more worried that my Mexican husband would lose his love for Clint Eastwood than anything else. I knew he was portraying a predjudiced man before borrowing this movie. I disagree with others who say it was so so. He showed an older man who was predjudiced grew to care more for someone he once despised than his own offspring. Clint pulled his lines. It was not an action movie for him so much as an acting movie for him.

Walt Kowalski Clint's character) was widowed and from the first told the young...

chelseygato says "A must for the best prepping for school." about Texas Instruments - Texas Instruments TI-Nspire Graphing Calculator

chelseygato — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:10:53 GMT

Texas Instruments TI-Nspire Graphing Calculator

The TI-Nspire graphing calculator Item number 710167 at Staples was what my 15 year old son Daniel pleaded to buy for school. It had 2 snap in keypads to boot. It has Screen size: 320 x 240 pixels (3.5" diagonal) which is two times the size of TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus models. The new TI-Nspire technology was developed hand-in-hand with educators around the world.

If you return empty ink cartridges to Staples you can save like I did. I had nine dollars in store credit which made my calculator a little less than it would have been. Right now it is going for $149.99.

7 different graphing styles are there to help to differentiate graphs drawn. USB cable for software and file downloads was included. Powered by 4 AAA batteries (also are included)

Staples offers a one year product replacement plan for $9.99. We did not take this option, but it is not a bad option.

chelseygato says "Early edition, many have been printed since this." about Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul

chelseygato — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 23:16:57 GMT

CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE MOTHER'S SOUL BY JACK CANFIELD, MARK VICTOR HANSEN, JENNIFER READ HAWTHORNE, AND MARCI SHIMOFF Is a book with 101 stories chosen and printed to open the hearts and rekindle the spirits of all mothers (and others) who read the book.

Barbara Bush is one of the authors. Reba McEntire shared a mother story about very early in her career when her mother stood by her whether she chose to have a singing career or not. Joan Rivers wrote her story and gave a piece of herself to help others, Dave Barry and many more. All authors have a small contributor paragraph about themselves and some leave addresses to be contacted.

The publishers and coauthors have made a contribution to Save the Children a not for profit organization

Just Plain Wrong is a short story near the end of the book which I appreciated and wanted to comment how by sharing Gerald E. Thurston, Jr. has made the world notice his mother again. I connected with that story and his mother was the kind...

chelseygato says "Superpoke pets are cute!" about SuperpokePets

chelseygato — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 22:54:39 GMT

Superpoke Pets by slide.com are always adding new things. Every day I go onto my myspace and straight to my superpoke pet to spin the daily wheel, then take it from there. We have a forum, arcade, play dates, a pet shop, and contests every so often. Today there is a new game in the arcade. For awhile we only had one game named petsketball, but now Pet Dazzled is available and that awards new bright badges. My 8 year old daughter likes the new game.

At "home you feed, clean, play date, and tickle your pet. There are levels and each time you reach a new level you also receive a plushie. There are badges for having certain items or for buying them or for visiting and playing with your friend's pets. I liked getting the badge for giving gifts to 25 friends. How great is that?

There are gold items which must be bought with actual money, but nobody has to buy them to own a pokepet. The site is free and backgrounds are wonderful and new ones are being offered all the time....

chelseygato says "Will Smith showing human side of mistakes." about Seven Pounds

chelseygato — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 22:35:37 GMT

Seven Pounds starring Will Smith by COLUMBIA PICTURES is a very new movie which came out 2009 and I was able to borrow it from the local library within the first week after purchase. Will is sad, Will is angry with a man and I did not understand until later why exactly but it made complete sense.

By looking at his phone for seven seconds Ben Thomas made a mistake while driving which destroyed his life and killed 7 people. He is now on a journey to change the lives of seven other people to give good deserving people a second chance at life.

There is a jellyfish in a home aquarium for a very good reason. Will annoys and hurts the feelings of a blind phone salesman who is also avegetarian and he is selling meat. I nearly left the room with a different opinion of Will Smith; but I am glad I remained to see the movie in its entirety. This blind man did not become enraged or even raise his voice. To be honest, I may have been raising my own if I had been in his position. I wanted...

chelseygato says "To The Nines is Stephanie Plum keeping herself and others alive " about To the Nines

chelseygato — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 22:16:05 GMT

To The Nines by Janet Evanovich is yet another Stephanie Plum novel which makes you want to eat while you read. Doughnuts, hoagies, and bounty hunting are always the style when Stephanie Plum works for Cousin Vinnie in downtown Trenton, New Jersey. In this novel an illegal alien named Samuel Singh is missing and Vinnie sends Steph to Vegas. Much more is in store for readers. There are specialized "hunters" and Stephanie herself is the final trophy prize.

Joe Morelli and Ranger are still highly involved in Stephanie's life. Bob the dog is still being a dog who makes doggy messes. Lula is Lula and you may just see the end of her in this book. Can't tell you; read for yourself and be sure to have something to munch on while Stephanie's Dad packs to move out of the house. He can't take the granddaughter being a horse and Grandma Mazur and his wife and other daughter and yet a new baby. Steph offers up her own apartment to her sister and makes the commitment to move in with Morelli...

chelseygato says "Despite giving her apt. to her sister Steph is doing fine!" about Ten Big Ones

chelseygato — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 22:02:20 GMT

TEN BIG ONES

This book is tenth in the series with bounty hunting galore. Stephanie Plum has a new family member; a niece. Her sister NOW decides to marry the father of her third child. He is still a lawyer who hands out quarters for the laundromat next door to his practice where Steph's sister met and began to work for him. This book begins with life being like a jelly doughnut and an innocent drive to get nachos. Psychos arrive. Cars go bye bye in explosions; same old same old for poor Steph.

I love the hoagie and doughnut drives with Lula. She is still quite a character and I'm glad she did not die in the close call in the 9th book of this series. Grandma Mazuris still herself going to get her hair done to go to see dead friends in the funeral parlor. Always up to her tricks trying to open caskets.

Joe Morelli and Ranger are very friendly and steamy. Bob is still messy and Steph is still cleaning up his messes. This book has local gangs putting themselves all out...

chelseygato says "Delight for new college student!" about Hewlett Packard Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq Business Notebook 6730s---SF

chelseygato — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:09:56 GMT

HP Compaq Business Notebook 6730s

This laptop computer was chosen by my 18 year old daughter. She will be living at home and attending a local college. She worked in a very manually exhausting foundry to earn the money to buy this laptop because all the features compelled her to insister "This is the one I want!"

HP Compaq 6730s Notebook PC happens to be an excellent price-for-performance mobile office with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor. This laptop features a sleek design. It has a satin, reflective black-on-black surface and a slimming profile beginning at 2.49 kg, this beautiful notebook has all the essential business features in a 15.4-inch diagonal widescreen display.

Moravian College has several computer purchasing programs and this is one of the computers which they offer a discount and as I previously stated, my daughter insisted with the full 4 year warranty she will have any future problems solved. With all the money attached for various things our price...

chelseygato says "handy tool for those short people like me!" about Windex Outdoor All-In-One Window Cleaner

chelseygato — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 18:00:20 GMT

This WINDEX OUTDOOR ALL IN ONE CLEANER is something I am glad to review. I got 4 reminders, but it was c o l d nasty weather here in PA and I didn't use the product until now! The disposable cleaning pad with sheeting action formula came encased in plastic which opened the first time I pulled. A good omen, I thought. When I put it up to my nose; come on, you know you were curious and also smelled yours. I smelled... nothing! Most people dislike smelling cleansers, like my husband. I enjoy smelling them, so I was disappointed, but at the same time I know people allergic to strong smells like my 15 year old son Daniel and also my mother cannot abide by good products if there is a strong smell. So allergies will not play a factor if you the reader have this concern; may my words allay your fears. The cleaning pad simply applies to the tool with pressure; it couldn't be any easier.

The gray tubes clicked together easily. I enjoyed using this product very much. I...

Palmer's HAPPY EASTER cross

Palmer makes delicious chocolates available for all year round occasions, but the Happy Easter 2.5 oz (71g) Decorated Chocolate candy cross is more than that.

chelseygato says "Lasts thru basic chores." about Revlon NAILWEAR Nail Enamel

chelseygato — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 19:29:11 GMT

REVLON 020 PURE PEARL NAIL ENAMEL

REVLON 020 PURE PEARL NAIL ENAMEL is one of the best nail enamel, nail polish, whichever you prefer calling it. I do laundry, type on the cpmputer, do dishes, more laundry, clean up after 5 children, then see maybe 1 or 2 nails slightly or not at all chipped. Normally my nails are useless and "PLEASE LET IT BE GLOVE WEATHER!" material by the end of the day. Every time I use Revlon I wonder why I even buy the other, cheapo brands which are not so cheap, just do not work as well for me!

I believe CVS carries many colors, however this one is the one I am currently wearing and have a fondness for more so than other shades. Currently they carry this at $4.99.
