eacatwork says "Combat dry summer beach/pool hair with this leave-in conditioner" about Aussie Leave in Conditioner

eacatwork — Tue, 05 May 2009 14:13:33 GMT

For years, I struggled with "summer hair." My "summer hair" was dry, brittle, and lifeless. I know it came from hours in the pool, days in the sun, and weeks at the beach. I always had the sunkissed natural blonde highlights that so many others pay for, but up close my hair resembled straw more than anything. I tried conditioners in my daily shower, but it just wasn't enough. One summer, I happened upon Aussie Leave-In Conditioner and that was the first summer I didn't have "summer hair." I found that if I sprayed it on my hair when I got out of the pool or the ocean, combed it through, and scrunched my hair (it's curly), that not only did my hair not dry out and look like hay a horse might eat, it actually looked good! My hair was soft and "somewhat" stylish after a long day at the pool or on the beach. Now, I never leave for the pool or the beach without my Aussie Leave-In Conditioner!

eacatwork says "Show your skin some love with sensitive skin Dove." about Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar

eacatwork — Tue, 05 May 2009 13:58:31 GMT

I have sensitive skin; I also have keratosis pilaris on my upper arms. My dermatologist recommended I use Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar when I shower to "take it easy" on my skin. At first, it took some getting used to not being "squeaky clean" like I was when I used ordinary soap in the shower. But of course, after using ordinary soap, I wound up using extraordinary amounts of lotion to keep my skin from resembling alligator hide! Once I made the switch to Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar, I noticed that my skin wasn't "squeaky" but still clean...that it felt moisturized and smooth...and that I didn't need nearly as much lotion post-shower. Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar has a pleasant smell and lasts for quite a while. (Some bars of soap and beauty bars seem to melt just sitting in the soap dish!) A Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar generally lasts me four weeks or more. My husband likes the product, too. He was initially afraid of smelling too flowery, but he agrees that...

eacatwork says "Pleasant cherry chewable helps relieve unpleasant heartburn." about Rolaids Rolaids Soft Chews

eacatwork — Tue, 05 May 2009 13:43:17 GMT

For occasional heartburn, I have come to rely on Rolaids Soft Chews (cherry flavored) to control my symptoms. Rolaids Soft Chews have a pleasant cherry flavor and are soft and chewy like salt water taffy. It is much more enjoyable to take one or two Rolaids soft chews than it is to try and crunch and choke down two regular Rolaids tablets. Nothing is worse that already not feeling well because you have heartburn and then having to chew on two chalky, grainy tablets. And then, despite the minty flavor, you want to immediately rinse or have a drink of something to get rid of the excess chalk and disgusting after taste. This is not the case with Rolaids Soft Chews. Like I said, they have the texture of salt water taffy - chewy and pleasant to take. The cherry flavor is just right...it is not overpowering or sickeningly sweet. I find I get moderate relief with Rolaids Soft Chews...most of the time within 20-30 minutes after taking only one chew. This is acceptable to me and...

eacatwork says "Invest in yourself with an investment in this treadmill." about Pacemaster Platinum Pro VR

eacatwork — Tue, 05 May 2009 13:29:51 GMT

My husband and I bought this treadmill in December 2007 and use it in our basement. My husband uses it much more frequently than I do because I have a gym membership with a friend (we go after work on our way home). I do, however, use the treadmill on the weekends when I am at home. This was not a cheap treadmill. It is gym quality and we certainly paid for that quality. But with that price comes the assurance that we can run on it and not worry about it breaking three months after we bought it. I appreciate that it comes with the chest strap to monitor heartrate because that means I can swing my arms and/or pump some iron (small hand weights) while walking. It is a bit louder than I would have wanted. In order to watch TV while on the treadmill, we have to turn the volume up quite loud, so the basement door needs to be kept shut so as not to disturb others in the house. I also wish the reading rack was a bit more substantial...I can't seem to read anything more than a...

eacatwork says "Remain radiantly red with John Freida's Radiant Red Shampoo!" about John Frieda Radiant Red Shampoo

eacatwork — Tue, 05 May 2009 13:19:23 GMT

I love coloring my hair red for the fall/winter, but invariably whether I have it done in a salon or do it at home, the color fades so quickly that I get discouraged. In February, I spent $77 to have my hair colored at my favorite salon and I was determined to maintain my color as long as possible. I looked at the different shampoos intended for red heads (both natural and color treated) and settled on John Freida's Radiant Red shampoo. Nearly 10 weeks later, my hair is still as radiantly red as the day it was colored! I am so thrilled with this shampoo...it has definitely made the expense of salon-coloring worth it. The shampoo lathers just enough and has a very pleasant smell. On the advice of my stylist, I have cut back from shampooing every day to every other day, so I am still on my first bottle of this shampoo. I attribute the colorfastness of this most recent dye job to this shampoo from John Freida. If you color your hair red, this is the shampoo for you!

eacatwork says "Get your grill on with this Weber classic!" about Weber One Touch Gold 22.5"

eacatwork — Tue, 05 May 2009 13:08:50 GMT

I purchased the Weber One Touch Gold 22.5" grill for my husband for his birthday in 2007. We had just bought a new house with a huge deck and I knew that he would want to grill up a storm! My husband is a grilling "purist" meaning he only likes to grill with charcoal. He did his research and settled on the Weber OTG 22.5" grill. He hemmed and hawed about the purchase and when we bought the house, he tabled it completely. Unbeknownst to him, I went ahead and bought it for his birthday. One day after moving into the new house, he assembled it (super easy!) and we were grilling at our new house on our new deck. This grill has many add-ons as well. Since June 2007, he has acquired the grill cover, the tool holder, and the work table attachment. He also bought a Weber charcoal starter. This grill has held up to our crazy central PA weather and we have grilled in the summer heat, the winter freeze, and everything in between! The venting lid allows us to grill everything...

eacatwork says "Walk Away the Pounds - move your feet no matter the weather!" about Walk Away the Pounds for Abs

eacatwork — Tue, 05 May 2009 12:56:38 GMT

Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds for Ab (TM) is, as the DVD cover proclaims, "the ultimate in-home walking system." I agree. This DVD contains three workouts - a 1 mile (15 minute) program, a 2-mile (30 minute) program, and 3-mile (45 minute) fat-busting program. You can choose the amount of time and effort you want to put into your workout with these three options. Each workout also includes a weights-added option. The people on the DVD use handweights. In a pinch, I've used soup cans. Whatever works, right?!? I even brought the DVD to work so I can "walk" during my lunch break. I simply close my office door, change into my workout clothes, and pop the DVD into my computer. I can very easily do the 1-mile walk and still have time to eat my lunch during a half-hour lunch break. It's better than nothing! More often, though, I do the 2-mile walk and find that I have a tremendous amount of energy for the rest of the afternoon. The best part about Walk Away the...
