grantacre says "I love it!!!!" about Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Complexion Make-up

grantacre — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 20:59:29 GMT

I love Bare Minerals. I have had people ask what I use on my face for makeup because it looks so natural. At first it was hard to get used to just a powder. But then after about a year of using it I tried a liquid foundation and had to wash it right off. It felt so heavy. I've tried the Arbonne Mineral founation too, but like Bare Minerals better. The Mineral Veil is wonderful too. It is very light and looks like you've been airbrushed....

grantacre says "There are better cleansers available." about Arbonne Cleansing Gel

I am able to purchase this at a great discount, but even that is too much to spend. This cleansing gel doesn't produce much lather and while it doens't have much of a scent at all I don't really care for the scent. I know some people that use it at every sink in their house. It is way to expensive for that and there are lots of other hand soaps available for a better price and that smell great. I use several Arbonne products, but this is one I would not recommend....

grantacre says "A little bit goes a long way." about Arbonne NutriMin C RE9 RENewing Gelee Creme Hydrating Wash

I have been using this cleanser, and much of the rest of this line of skin care products, for over a year and a half. At 40, my previously flawless skin was suddently breaking out. I had never had problem skin and was getting quite frustrated when I couldn't find a product that worked. I had never been one to spend a lot on skincare or cosmetics and had NEVER purchased a single thing from a department store cosmetic counter. When an aquaintance called wanting to show me some skincare products she was selling I was initially skeptical, but since I had been having such trouble agreed to try the products.

I was able to sample this cleanser and all the products in this line for a few days. I saw immediate results and my skin actually cleared up. I became an internet consultant which allowed me to purchase any Arbonne products for 35% off with no additional commitment. I don't know why anyone would pay retail price when this option is available to EVERYONE. I was initially put off by......

grantacre says "What's not to like?" about igive.com

As an employee of a non-profit organization, this is an easy way to raise a little extra money. How many people shop on-line? And how many people have some organization they would like to support? IGive.com is an easy way to do both. THere are frequently special deals and the charity of your choice gets a little something too.

But, as frequently as I shop on-line, I don't always remember to go through IGive.com to make my purchase. There is a pop-up program to remind you, but I hate pop-ups and those type of programs as much as the next guy.

grantacre says "Energy and immune-boosting supplements in a bottle." about Eniva Vibe Liquid Vitamins

grantacre — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 20:29:56 GMT

I have been using VIBE for over 2 years. I have always been interested in health and nutrition and find that VIBE has helped keep me healthier than I've ever been. My husband began taking it about a year after I did and he can really tell a difference too. He used to catch every bug and virus that went around. Now he hardly gets anything. I truly believe our immune system has strengthened as a result of taking VIBE.

I have to admit, the flavor takes a little getting used to, but it's only a single gulp and is really not too bad. I drink it straight and then have a glass of juice with my breakfast. It's available on-line, through Eniva.com and many chiropractoric offices sell it too. It is sold through a direct sales system (read pyramid) but is a legitimate product with great results....

grantacre says "Great movie with a decent lesson to boot." about Hairspray

grantacre — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 19:56:07 GMT

I attended a screeing of this movie with my 12 year old son and 9 year old daughter. They had both studied the civil rights in school (in conjunction with Martin Luther King, Jr.) so were able to follow the story line about the integration in the 1960s. The music and dancing were a ton of fun and right up my daughter's ally. Even my tweenage son enjoyed it. We need more movies like this - good wholesome family entertainment, with a message to boot....
