jenniferenny says "Like a cheese Grater for your feet - Awesome!" about As Seen On TV Original PedEgg

jenniferenny — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 22:42:19 GMT

I got a pink one! And...the profits go to fund breast cancer research. The ped egg is a great tool at a great price and they're backing a great cause!

I have tried lots of foot "sloughers": creams, files, stones, etc. None of them have worked as well as the ped egg.

What I really like is that it keeps all that old dead skin contained! It does take a little practice, but it's possible to GRATE your feet and keep all the dead skin INSIDE the ped egg. Of course, it DOES look like canned, grated parmesan cheese - but I'd rather have that inside the Ped egg than CHEESEY feet! YUCK.

The ped egg is a great value. Has inexpensive replacement parts and works as intended. I give it two thumbs up!

Purchase place: Wal-Mart

Purchase price: less than $10

jenniferenny says "GREAT WORKOUT - when you do it right" about Bowflex Xtreme Se Gym

jenniferenny — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 20:32:53 GMT

Okay, the Bowflex Extreme SE Homegym seems fairly expensive at first - but my husband and I counted the cost this way:

1. Qualifying for credit with them IS a good revolving account. (Good for building credit)

2. There are several safety features of the gym itself.

3. It's right in our home. No travelling to a club and looking fat in spandex.

4. The website seems to provide excellent customer support.

5. The equipment is sturdy BUT you have to put it together yourself.

6. Monthy cost at curves is between 30 and 70 bucks a month (just for women) and a family membership at a co-ed club could cost up to 150 bucks a month. The Bowflex is about 50 bucks a month.

7. The whole family can use it. (Except small kids)

8. There aren't any "free weights" to store and take care of (keep from falling off the bar and onton little kid's toes)

9.There is an instructional DVD

But -

You DO have to dedicate space and time to this. That seems obvious - but I HAVE had mine for a year and only just begun to use it effectively....

jenniferenny says "Signing Time is Fun Time for the Whole Family" about Signing Time!

jenniferenny — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 20:13:01 GMT

Educational, Smart, Friendly, Family Fun!

Signing Time and Signing Time Series Two are Awesome!

Signing helps unleash you and your child's brain power.

It's absolutely fascinating to watch your child learn so much in just a thirty-minute show.

I have almost 2 complete sets. I do not have Happy Birthday from Series Two.

All the others are great, though. The gift sets usually come with a sing-and-sign along CD to listen to throughout the day. This reinfoces what you saw on the DVD. These tunes are catchy and they are sung beautifully. A lot of kid's songs are annoying, but Rachel Coleman can really sing!

I only wish her own daughter, Leah - a signing time star, could hear her mother's beautiful voice.

Your family will feel invited right into Rachel and Leah's family to learn signing in a wonderful way!

Enjoy it!

True, the videos can be pricey, but the signingtime website has great deals when you buy multiples and you can go in "halfsies" with a friend to get several DVDs .

Or...check your local...

jenniferenny says "Just like the Cartoon" about VTech Vsmile Dora The Explorer: Dora's Fix-it Adventure

jenniferenny — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 20:03:53 GMT

FABULOSO!

Dora The Explorer: Dora's Fix-It Adventure is GREAT for preschoolers. This game SMARTRIDGE is for use in the Vtech Vsmile gaming system. It is a wonderful TV Learning Program.

I loved that the game looked very much like the actual cartoon.

If your preschooler loves to play along with Dora when she's watching the TV show - then she'll REALLY LOVE to play this game on her VSMILE!

Also, find DORAS GOT A PUPPY - it's a smartbook and Smartridge for the Vsmile. It plays on the Regular VSMILE gaming console (even without the smartbook) and it's so FUN!

jenniferenny says "3 Years, Maximum life!" about Kodak - EasyShare Z700 Digital Camera

jenniferenny — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 19:56:56 GMT

I DIDN'T buy the docking statioin/charging station with my Kodak EasyShare z700 - and maybe that's where I went wrong.

This thing has been giving me trouble since I bought it. I have tried every kind of new batteries there are and my camera still only lasts for a couple of pictures.

I have adjusted the settings for minimal bit and for No Display without results.

It has a 3 year warranty, but after a year - I was unhappy. I kept hoping that a new pair of better batteries would operate it better. I would have returned the item, had I not moved far far away from the retailer.

I do like the Kodak software, though. And - I like the size, shape and look of the camera. It doesn't do too bad at taking pictures - when it will work. Often it will just shut off without warning.

I figured a Kodak camera would have accessories available - like the charging/docking station sold separately - but I can't seem to find any information on a reasonably priced purchase.

This camera was $235 and I have gotten...

jenniferenny says "GREAT" about Bali "Passion For Comfort" Underwire Bra

jenniferenny — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 19:46:47 GMT

The Bali underwire bras can't be beat.

I'm really hard on my own bras. My kids do the laundry and they don't always gentle wash and hang dry - but my Bali bras have withstood it! They've been beat up, thrown in the dryer, worn on kids' heads and even used as a slingshot.

Bali is the Best!

It is important to get the proper fit, though. I think Bali's run a little big in the band. Also, the underwire comes up really high - but it keeps it from digging in to my chest.

jenniferenny says "My Kid is a Genius - and I am too!" about Vtech Vsmile Console

jenniferenny — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 19:41:19 GMT

She's a genius because she's using her Vsmile and learning, learning, learning.

I'm a genius because I got it for her.

We have the Vtech Vsmile Console AND the Smartbook.

Many of the Smartbook games can be played on the Vsmile system WITHOUT the smartbook.

It's all fun for the kids - and the graphics on some of the games look like they do on the REAL cartoon.

Games that aren't as cool are Spiderman and Friends and Batman. But, maybe that's just because I have a darling sweet little girl.

jenniferenny says "Wireless,expensive,not impressive." about Dell All-In-One 948 InkJet Printer

jenniferenny — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 17:29:03 GMT

Dell 948 all in one printer

I've had cheap Canon all-in-one printers and I thought this Dell would really be a step up. It's not. I get good quality print and I get fast printing. But, really it's no better than those cheap Canon printers from Wal-Mart. I have to buy DELL ink because I can't find ink for it anywhere but the Dell store. My Dell ink seemed to run out very quickly and I changed the cartridges when recommended. Soon thereafter, I was notified that my ink tanks were out again. I've been printing for a month with an "EMPTY" ink tank! I feel scammed by dell. Their ink is expensive, too...and of course it goes on my dell account!

I do a lot of homeschool printing - worksheets, craft patterns, reports, etc. and I haven't found this to be an economical choice for a printer.

Quality: GREAT

Price: HORRIBLE

Maintenance: AWFUL

Convenience: GOOD
