faithfullee says "Great for between salon pedicures!" about As Seen On TV Original PedEgg

faithfullee — Mon, 04 May 2009 22:22:42 GMT

I was skeptical about this product, I've tried so many manicure/pedicure items that claim to be the best. I honestly love this. It is tremendously easy to use and I don't worry about cutting myself, like I do when I use the razor scraper. After you "grate" off the dead skin with the silver bladed egg, you can use the sandpaper part to smooth them up. It doesn't really even feel like you are making any progress, until you open it up to emptly the skin flakes... you will be surprised by the results.I usually get a pedicure about every 4 weeks at a salon, especially in the summer, and this helps keep my heels and soles very smooth between times. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who hates to have or see cracked heels showing themselves in the summer. We all know we want to sport our flip flops, lets just sport them with smooth feet!

faithfullee says "Even a mom in her 40's can have a blast" about Nintendo - DS Lite Console

faithfullee — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 01:02:32 GMT

I NEVER would have thought I would have my own Nintendo DS Lite. I even have a Hello Kitty skin on it, and like a good book, it's hard to put down. It all started in Nov. 2008 when my 6 year old wanted one for her birthday. I literally knew nothing about them, but my husband thought it would be ok for her. Needless to say there are tons of games that she loves and is becoming quite good in. The DS is so lightweight and thin, it is even easily held in her hands for what seems like hours. She has never had a problem at all with it. It holds a good charge and can be plugged in for a few hours and fully charged again. We also have a car charger for long trips. The color is amazing and is very user friendly. In January, I got my husband one for his birthday. I have played both of theirs and find it very easy to use, entertaining and absolutely worth the $129 we paid each of them. In February, my husband bought me a red one for Valentines day. I have already gotten...

faithfullee says "Takes care of even the finest hair" about Remington Smooth & Silky

faithfullee — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 01:19:47 GMT

This has got to be the best $14 I have spent in a very long time. I purchased this on ebay and I absolutely love it. I have had issues for as long as I can remember when I razor shave, many hairs are missed with the razor. It seems they lay down, then pop back up after the razor goes over them. I have very fine and very light blonde hair on my legs, but believe me, when you are sitting in the sun and my legs are hairy in spots it sure is noticeable. I have tried, Nair (and many other dipilatories) and every disposable razor known to man. I never tried waxing because I was told my hair was too fine to work well. I purchased one of these at WalMart and go great results with it. My husband decided he was going to "clean" the screens on this and proceeded to take it apart like a mans razor comes apart. Well, this razor doesn't work that way, and I found myself having to buy another razor. I went with the same since I have had such luck with it. It is so easy to use,...

faithfullee says "Great even with 2 cats!" about Hoover - WindTunnel - Bagless Upright Vacuum - U5753-900

faithfullee — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 00:58:27 GMT

I absolutely love this vacuum! This is my second one like this. It is great for use on everything from hardwood to plush carpet. I also use it to vacuum the cat hair off my furniture and bed comforter, which is a several times a week task. The attachment has powerful suction as well. After several months my husband takes the attachment apart and cleans out excess hair that has accumulated. My husband is also a neat freak and when he empties the dirt, he also uses a whisk brush to brush off the filter. I think this probably helps it to pick up better and last longer, even though it doesn't say to do that. After I use the vacuum, I can definitely tell. It gives the carpet a fresh look. I have even used one of the brushes to clean my mini blinds and it does and excellent job. I've read the reviews stating that this vacuum doesn't pick up pet hair well, but I really disagree with that. I have two cats, one of which is long hair. I vacuum several times a week as the...

faithfullee says "Your nose needs these!" about Zicam Cold Remedy Gel Swabs

faithfullee — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 13:31:56 GMT

This is by far the best thing I've used to help fight a cold. A friend suggested these to me after she tried them... I of course was skeptical, since I am a creature of habit and use the same old things. At the first sign of my next cold, I purchased some of these and used them religiously the first two days as directed (I confess I don't always do this). My cold never really turned into a cold and I was feeling mostly well again by the 3rd day. I continued to use the swabs for 4 days and was my "normal" self before the week was over. I am currently using them again for a cold and previously my cold would start out bad, get worse, then taper off, usually lasting 8-10 days total. With Zicam I am good within a week and it never really gets me down. I have even used this on my 6 year old and it worked wonders for her as well. She doesn't mind it at all. It is not runny or messy. I carry a few in my purse at all times, just in case.

faithfullee says "Much better than previously used self tanners" about Olay Touch of Sun Body Lotion Plus A Touch of Sunless Tanner

faithfullee — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:16:16 GMT

I have tried many different selt tanners, all of which were recommended by someone else. I have always managed to get a darker orange streak either on my feet, ankle, knee or hands. This is by far the best one I have tried. It is a moisturizer and as such, goes on quite easily. I noticed a difference after about 3 consecutive days of using. The smell is not bad either. I wash my hands thoroughly with soap after using and have yet to notice any coloring on my hands at all. Thus far, I have only used on my legs, since my arms naturally get tan with sun exposure. I prefer the natural tan, or the quickness of the tanning bed tan, but neither is always feasible. I'm ready to break out my capris for the spring/summer and now I don't look that winter ghostly white. It's not going to make you look like you just came back from California, but it does make enough difference to look like you have a fresh glow. Also, I haven't used at night. I use in the morning while I am...

faithfullee says "Great coverage, natural looking" about Arbonne Mineral Powder Foundation

faithfullee — Fri, 30 May 2008 23:43:11 GMT

I'm 45 years old and have been "searching" for a good makeup for many, many years. I've found several I like, but continue to search because I'm not completely satisfied. My search has finally ended with Arbonne mineral makeup. It is so easy and quick to use with the provided brush, yet covers naturally with an almost flawless finish. I have age spots on my face and it even reduces the appearance of them to almost nothing. I'm sure if I spent more time, I could perfect it even more. I am very happy I have finally found the one! Very reasonable price....

faithfullee says "Not necessarily worth the price" about FitFlops

faithfullee — Thu, 22 May 2008 19:29:58 GMT

I saw Fit Flops in an ad from Bath & Body Works. Not being an avid exerciser, but loving to walk, I decided to give them a try. I wasn't thrilled with the $40ish I paid for them, but thought if they did what they said it might be worth it. They are truly comfy as stated. I have not noticed any difference, however, in the way my legs/feet feel after wearing them. I can wear them for a long time and my feet don't bother me at all (even with arthritis)... I'm not sorry I bought them, but not sure I would consider them the "miracle" that most advertisement claims them to be....

faithfullee says "Comfy and Cozy" about Crocs - Mammoths

faithfullee — Thu, 22 May 2008 19:20:12 GMT

I love, love, love all of my crocs. These in particular and very comfy. The mammoth are warm, but not sweaty and I wear them with/without socks. I have the tan ones and may end up getting the black for next year. The fur is removable and can be easily washed. Totally granola-ish look, but that's me... Pure Comfort!...
