jasyjen says "We laughed so hard from this movie, my husband almost threw up!" about The Hangover

jasyjen — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 21:19:53 GMT

OH-MY-GOD! The Hangover is one of the FUNNIEST movies I have ever seen in my life. If you have ever, even just once, drank much more than you should have and have been unable to remember the night before, you will find this movie absolutely riotous!

NO SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW---

The Hangoveris a 2009 film that is about four men that head to Las Vegas, as one of the men is about to be married. The trip to Las Vegas is supposed to last just one night, and is a bachelor's party of sorts that goes horribly wrong. To quickly sum up the worst of it, when then men wake up in the morning, there is a tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet, and the groom-to-be has gone missing. The remainder of the movie is the other men's attempt at locating their lost friend and trying to piece together what happened that they cannot remember.

Honestly, The Hangover was so hilarious, there were parts in the movie that had my husband and I laughing so hard, we had to rewind the movie to see what...

jasyjen says "These night vision goggles really work! VERY COOL TOY." about EyeClops Night Vision Infared Stealth Goggles V2

jasyjen — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 20:51:13 GMT

My eight year son asked for a pair of spy glasses that would work in the dark for Christmas. I had no idea what he wanted, so I went to the store looking for something that matched the description. I saw a pair of Spy Gear night vision goggles, but in all honestly, they looked like they were made really cheap and I refused to buy them. I went to a few stores before I found these goggles that cost about $ 45.00. They were made by Eyeclops, and they looked a lot more durable than the Spy Gear brand. I was a little turned off by the price though, and didn't buy them right away. After about a month of looking, I broke down and bought the Eyeclops Night Vision Infared Stealth Goggles, and I am SO GLAD that I did! These are one of the coolest toys I have ever purchased! THEY REALLY WORK! I mean they REALLY work! You can use them in complete darkness and see as clear as a bell with them. The Eyeclops Night Vision Infared Stealth Goggles look a lot like a bulky pair of binoculars.......

jasyjen says "Feels wonderful on your skin, and smells fabulous too." about Biore 4-in-1 Self-Foaming Cleanser

jasyjen — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 20:22:48 GMT

My husband always fills my Christmas stocking with products that I can pamper myself with. This year, he was sweet enough to give me a Biore' product that I had never used. It is Biore 4-in-1 Self-Foaming Cleanser and I LOVE IT! The smell alone is just amazing, and if I had picked it up at the store myself, it's the gentle scent that would have sold me on it. To me, the scent is reminiscent of a high-quality product that a professional at a spa would apply to your face.

Aside from smelling great, what I love about Biore 4-in1 Self-Foaming Cleanser is that it does the job of four separate skin products. It cleanses your skin and leaves it feeling squeaky clean, plus it tones, stimulates, and detoxifies it in a way that leaves skin feeling refreshed and vibrant.

As a person with slightly oily skin, I can't use any beauty product that will make that oily condition any worse. Biore 4-in-1 Self-Foaming Cleaner is oil-free and safe to use everyday. It cleans away toxins from...

stef42678 says "Great Hand Soap" about Bath and Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap

stef42678 — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 10:06:49 GMT

I really love trying new Bath and Body Works products, so I was excited to find this Bath and Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap on sale for less than $5 at my local store. The first thing I noticed about this product was that it contains aloe vera which is very soothing on your skin and second, it was antibacterial which is great for killing germs on skin and around the house. I liked the variety of scents because most of them were floral, and others were fruit infused. I decided to try two different scents, the cucumber and then the cherry blossom because I liked the fragrances and the colors would match my home decor. What I love most about this product is how easy it is to dispense and it isn't messy at all. The pump pushes out just a little of the product which is all that is needed and it foams up quickly. The soap really lathers and cleans and leaves a fresh fragrance on my skin. It doesn't dry my hands and even seems to moisturize which I love.

stef42678 says "Strong Tissue" about Procter & Gamble and Gamble 33549bx: Puffs Two Ply White Facial Tissue

stef42678 — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 10:01:08 GMT

I am pretty picky about the facial tissue I buy because I want a product that is soft and gentle, but still strong enough to help with cleanup and when I have a really bad cold. I really love the high quality of Procter & Gamble and Gamble 33549bx: Puffs Two Ply White Facial Tissue because they work great for cleanup tasks and are soft too. I found a box on sale for $3 at the local store and the box was very colorful to match my home decor. The tissue paper sits flat in the box, so it was a little tough to get out one sheet at a time, but one sheet was enough for anything I needed. The tissue paper is soft and gentle to my face and great for makeup removing, as well as seasonal allergies and the common cold. It doesn't irritate my skin and really soft on my nose. What I love about these tissues is how strong they are because they seem to be double layered so they are great to grab when I need to clean and really soak up liquid without crumbling or falling apart. I use these...

stef42678 says "High Quality Pan" about Wilton Perfect Performance Ultra Cast Fluted Tube Pan

stef42678 — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 09:54:08 GMT

One of the things I always like getting for the holidays is new cooking items, so I was thrilled to receive this Wilton Perfect Performance Ultra Cast Fluted Tube Pan because it is high quality and definitely a great gift. I got this pan from a friend and it is a high quality pan that makes any cake taste great and bake up even. Once I got the pan, I decided to experiment with some Bundt cake recipes, and everyone came out great. I used this to bake up a few holiday desserts and the pan was so easy to use and really worked to bake up some fantastic cakes. The pan is pretty heavy because it is made out of aluminum and not a soft metal, but it is also dishwasher safe which means that it is so easy to clean. It is nonstick, but I sprayed a thin layer of nonstick spray on it because the fluted design is really detailed and I didn't want any of the small cake pieces to stick in the pan. Once I mixed the cake batter, I poured into the pan and the batter spread evenly. Once baking...

stef42678 says "Great Scent and Product for the Holidays" about Philosophy The Gingerbread Man

stef42678 — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 11:34:01 GMT

I really love Philosophy products because not only are they good for your skin, but it seems like every month they come out with new scent varieties and I love to try the newest ones. I couldn't wait to try the Philosophy The Gingerbread Man because it sounded perfect for the holidays. I bought one for me and a couple for gifts because not only did the scent sound wonderful, but I see the product as a great deal because it is actually three products in a one. I love the cute bottle it comes in with an easy cap to open and the cute gingerbread man on the label. I use this as a shower gel, shampoo and conditioner and it leaves my skin and hair feeling and looking great. The scent is the sweet smell of fresh gingerbread, with spices of ginger and cinnamon and reminds me of the holidays. It is a great product to use and smell when you want to relax, and the scent won't overpower your hair or skin. The lather foams up easily and doesn't leave a residue on your skin or in your hair. ...

stef42678 says "Great Scent of Gingerbread" about Philosophy Gingerbread Lip Shine

stef42678 — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 11:28:22 GMT

I really love Philosophy brand products because not only do the products really work, but they come in a huge variety of scents, so I love to try the newest fragrances and change up the products I use based on the holidays. I was happy to find this Philosophy Gingerbread Lip Shine because I am a huge lip product fan and I thought the scent of gingerbread would be perfect for the christmas time. The product comes in a clear lip tube so I was happy that I could see the product and shade before I bought it. It was on sale, so it sounded like a great deal. After uncapping the lip product I smelled the sweet scent of fresh gingerbread, a little sweetness and a lot of spice. The lip shine is easy to apply and goes on smooth. The lip product is paraben free and looks great on the lips. I liked the smooth shine, no glitter or sparkles, but lots of shine. The scent of gingerbread lasted on my lips, but not too strong and a spice of cinnamon. My lips felt moist and not sticky and...

stef42678 says "Great Scent, Great Scrub" about Philosophy The Gingerbread Man Hot Salt Scrub

stef42678 — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 11:23:54 GMT

I am a huge fan of skin products and love changing up the scent of my products for the season. I was really excited to find this Philosophy The Gingerbread Man Hot Salt Scrub because the scent sounded perfect for the holidays. The salt scrub comes in a cute jar container that makes the product easy to apply. As soon as I opened up the lid I smelled the sweet taste of ginger and was ready to have that fragrance on my skin. The salt scrub is neat to apply and doesn't feel like a gloppy mess. I used it on my skin and immediately my skin felt refreshed and revitalized. This is a great product to use for exfoliating and gets your skin ready for makeup, bronzers and lotions. It smoothed out my skin and the fragrance seemed to last a long time. When the product is applied the scent is a little strong, but slowly weakens for just the right hint of ginger after it is applied. The scent is a little sweet, spicy and exotic. I would recommend this gift for the holidays and for...

jasyjen says "If you want to make your dog smile, give them this food!" about Pedigree Little Champions; Pouched Dog Food

jasyjen — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 21:35:03 GMT

As a very special treat, I purchase a box of Pedigree Little Champions packets for my two dogs to share. My pups usually get dry food only, so giving them a combination of the wet food and dry food together was a big treat for them.

I absolutely LOVE the way Pedigree Little Champions comes packaged. In one box, you get several pouches of food. Each pouch is one serving. The serving is small - Only a little over five ounces. The pouches are lined up nice and neatly in the box, so you can keep them all stored in the box until they are gone. The pouches are very easy to open and the food, literally, slides right out. You don't have to get a spoon and dig it out, or bang on the bottom it to get the food out....it just slides right out. SO EASY! Since the servings are so small, I mix it in with the dry food and give it to my pups. THEY LOVE IT! I have never seen my dogs devour their food with such intensity. They don't eat it down very fast, it's almost as if they are...

jasyjen says "Get the scent of a freshly cut Christmas tree with this product!" about ScentSicles Scented Ornaments

jasyjen — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 21:18:41 GMT

While out shopping, I was speaking to another shopper about how much I miss the Glade holiday scent, Glistening Snow. Discontinued this year, it was the only scent that I had ever found that smelled like Christmas. As we were talking, the woman happened to mention a product I had never heard of. ScentSicles. She informed me that ScentSicleswere sold at Walmart (where I happened to be) and worked really well in giving an authentic scent of pine.

I was able to located ScentSiclesscented ornaments in with the seasonal merchandise in Walmart. They were actually on an endcap all by themselves. There were only two packages left, and I bought the 'White Pine' scent. ScentSicles are green sticks that you hang directly on the Christmas tree. There were six ScentSiclesto a pack and each stick was about 5" in length. The top of each stick in capped with a silver area where you can insert a ornament hanger. The package is tightly sealed, and when you open it up, the sticks are wrapped...

stef42678 says "Great Hair for Blondes" about Bed Head Dumb Blonde

stef42678 — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 09:18:15 GMT

I work outside all day so my hair gets damaged from the sun, wind, chlorine and my color seems to fade over time. This Bed Head Dumb Blonde product is great for my hair because not only does it make my hair brighter and blonder, but it helps keep my highlights from fading as well as makes my hair look great. This duo of shampoo and conditioner are high quality with a great scent and work really well. The products are easily dispensed from a pump and lather up quickly. A little product goes a long way and I love that it rinses out clean and leaves my hair feeling soft and shiny. I even noticed that it helps make my hair more manageable by getting rid of tangles and adds a little volume so my hair feels bouncier and not heavy. Everytime I use these products together my hair looks great, and I love that it transforms my locks from dull to bright and the brightness and scent last a long time. This is a great solution for blondes and keeps my hair looking great.

stef42678 says "Strong and Soft Tissues" about Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong Tissue

stef42678 — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 09:13:36 GMT

I don't use tissues too often, but when I do, I want a tissue that is strong and durable and these Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong Tissue are high quality and really soft. Each tissue is soft and sheer and won't irritate your face or your nose. I recently used these when I had a cold and they worked great because they were as soft as a blanket against my skin so they didn't cause redness on my nose or irritate it more. I like that these are really strong too and don't break. I not only use these for my nose and sneezing, but they work great for quick cleanup of spills as well as are still strong when they get wet. I keep a box of these in my car and one at work because they are a great product. They are perfect for controlling germs and a feel good reliever for your nose when you have a cold or allergies. These easily dispense from the container for quick grabbing and are strong enough to wipe up spills around the house or pick up and wrap things when needed.

china-cat84 says "A good phone but not the best..." about Nokia - twist Cell Phone

china-cat84 — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 08:44:33 GMT

I purchased this phone mostly because it reminded me of a blackberry. I'm too cheap (and broke!) to add the stupid data plan onto my plan because I doubt I would use it and I think it's a waste of money. The main reason I wanted a blackberry is because I like the look and feel of them - I don't need it for email, I don't need internet, I don't need to view documents or download special apps. I already have an iPod Touch and I use it for all of those things. I just wanted a phone that was sleek, modern, with a full keyboard, easy to use, and portable. My last phone was an LG enV - I upgraded right before the enV 2 came out. The enV was a great phone but it was bulky, thick, and heavy and very dated looking. I knew I needed something new.

I have had this phone for nearly a month now and I feel I have had it long enough to write a fully educated review. When it comes to a product that a person will be forced to use for a couple years (until they are able to upgrade) I feel it's important to...

jasyjen says "A fun game that the whole family likes to play together" about I Can Do It Games The Grinch Christmas Bingo Game

jasyjen — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 15:29:31 GMT

I stumbled across The Grinch Christmas Bingo Game at Target and as soon as I saw it, I grabbed it up. I love Christmas, I love The Grinch, and I like playing Bingo, so this game had a lot going for it. I was attracted right away to the packaging of The Grinch Christmas Bingo Game because it comes in a brightly colored tin container with 3D lettering and graphics. The game is approved for children 4+, so I was pretty safe in the age department.

As soon as I showed The Grinch Christmas Bingo Game to my two children (boys, ages 8 & 13) they wanted to play. OF COURSE THEY DID! It's the Grinch! When we opened up the game, there were a lot of "oohs" and 'aahs' from us, as the game is has a 3D piece that sets up to look like part of a living room with Christmas tree and a chimney! HOW COOL!

The directions were very easy to follow, and this Bingo game has a little twist that makes it different from other Bingo games. We all liked the twist a lot. Here is how you play The Grinch...
