krislynn says "Lidoderm Patch helps soothe my nerve pain" about Lidoderm Lidocaine Patch 5%

krislynn — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 06:29:33 GMT

Lidoderm
(Lidocaine Patch 5%)

I have an illness called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), which there is no cure. I have tried just about every pain pill and most of them are too strong for my stomach. The only pain pill I'm able to keep down is Neurontin. My pain specialist suggested the Lidoderm Patch five months ago. It is a prescription medicine that is used to relieve pain usually associated with Shingles. It has recently been prescribed for people with CRPS to help reduce the sharp, burning, and aching pain.

Lidoderm is a local anesthetic (numbing) medication. It works by blocking nerve signals in your body. It is not a narcotic. Each adhesive patch contains 700mg of lidocaine. Do NOT apply the Lidoderm Patch to swollen, raw or blistered skin. You should never use this product if you are sensitive to local anesthetics such as lidocaine.

It is easy to apply and remove the Lidoderm Patch. The patch is thin and has no odor to it. You can wear the patch under your clothing. The patch...

krislynn — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 20:07:50 GMT

My Top Amy's Gluten-Free Dinners

I used to eat frozen dinners for lunch all the time. When I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2001, I couldn't have them anymore because most of the entrees had gluten in it. I was doing my grocery shopping a couple of weeks ago and to my surprise I found several gluten free frozen dinners. They are made by Amy's Kitchen. The five dinners I have tried I've loved.

Amy's Kitchen is a family-operated business dedicated to producing nutritious, delicious frozen foods made with natural and organic ingredients. The story behind the company is printed on several of the products' packaging and is provided in detail on their website (http://www.amyskitchen.com). Rachel and Andy Berliner started their business in 1987, the year that their daughter Amy was born. Their mission was to create vegetarian meals that offered convenience to people who were too busy to cook from scratch.

The people at Amy's Kitchen have produced several products that cater to people with special...

Sally Hansen
Hard As Nails, Hard As Wraps

I've been using Sally Hansen's Instant Strength Nail Strengthener polish for a couple of years now. I've been happy with this product because it keeps my nails strong. The problem I have is I like to wear color nail polish not just clear all the time. I usually use Revlon color nail polish, but it never stays on my nails for very long. It usually peels off after two or three days.

I was at Target a month ago and saw a new Sally Hansen nail polish called Hard As Nails, Hard As Wraps. I came home that day and read two reviews on this product by this2shallpass19 and LoveisJoy. Their recommendations on this new Sally Hansen product had me sold on it already. I just bought my first bottle of Hard As Nails, Hard As Wraps nail polish last week. I chose the Sheer Lilac Gloss color; in other words, it is pink. I applied two coats to my nails and let it dry in-between each coat. I also applied one coat of some Sally Hansen Top Coat that I had. I've been wearing...

krislynn says "A baby book for your puppy" about The Puppy Baby Book

krislynn — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 09:52:04 GMT

The Puppy Baby Book
By Dawn Greenfield Ireland

All dog lovers will love The Puppy Baby Book. This book is not a novel you would read. It is a book where you chart your puppies' growth and progress. It is similar to a baby book that parents fill out on their children. I bought three of these books at Amazon shortly after I adopted my third Jack Russell Terrier puppy, Nicholas. I paid The other two books will be for Rustie and Patches.

The author of The Puppy Baby Book is Dawn Greenfield Ireland. She is an award winning screenwriter and technical writer. She wanted a baby book for her dog, Shasta. This is how The Puppy Baby Book got started. Shasta was a beautiful Bull Terrier and Black Lab mix breed. She (Shasta) died on August 29, 2006 at the age of 17 years.

The Puppy Baby Book is a hardcover book with 72 beautiful bounded pages. There is a page where you can place your puppy's paw prints (use non-toxic ink or paint), a keepsake pocket for the first rabies tag, a pocket to keep the adoption...

krislynn says "Jumping for Joy for SOYJOY Bars" about SOYJOY - Soy Snack Bars with Dried Fruit

krislynn — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 10:31:20 GMT

SOYJOY Bars

I have Celiac Disease, which prevents me from eating foods with gluten and wheat in it. I found a great deal on the SOYJOY Bars at Rite-Aid a few weeks ago. I purchased a few of these bars to see how I liked them. They are yummy and the best snack bar I've tried that is Gluten-Free. Rite-Aid is having another sale on the SOYJOY Bars in a few weeks. I will definitely be purchasing more of them.

Each SOYJOY Bar is baked with whole soy and real dried fruit. It is an all-natural snack bar. There are NO Artificial Colors or Flavors, Trans Fats, Hydrogenated Oils or Gluten in these bars. Each bar has between 130-140 calories, contains four grams of protein, and three grams of fiber. There are six flavors to choose from such as the Apple Walnut, Berry, Mango Coconut, Peanut Chocolate Chip, Raisin Almond, and Strawberry. I have tried all the flavors except the Peanut Chocolate Chip bar. This must be a popular flavor because Rite-Aid is always out of them. My favorite SOYJOY Bar is the...

Renuzit
Pearl Scents

I love all kinds of scents that come from air fresheners and candles. I have air fresheners all over my house especially in the bathrooms and kitchen. I have two Jack Russell Terriers who sleep in my bed- room. When I noticed a doggie smell in my bedroom, I wanted to find an air freshener that would get rid of this smell not just cover it up. I was at Wal-Mart right before Christmas and found the Renuzit Pearl Scents. I just bought one box to try it out in my bedroom.

The Renuzit Pearl Scents are described as "The only odor eliminating continuous action air freshener with the new scented beads. It utilizes the PureClean Technology to neutralize odors in the air from smoke, pets, bathroom, and odor-causing bacteria." These beads will shrink down over time as the product is used. The other day one of the beads fell out of the jar lid because I accidentally turned the jar over. The bead felt wet and had already shrunk down in size. There are six scents to choose from such...

Candlelight Yoga
with Sara Ivanhoe

I wanted to get a yoga workout DVD, but I had no idea which one to get. Sometimes it is a hit or miss because of the volume of yoga workout DVDs on the market today. I was watching FIT TV channel one day and caught a yoga routine by Sara Ivanhoe. She is very easy to follow and helps you to relax during the poses. I decided to do a search on her yoga workout DVDs and ended up purchasing the Candlelight Yoga.

Sara Ivanhoe is a certified yoga instructor. She describes her fitness philosophy as "Yoga is like a marathon, not a sprint; slow and safe persistence gives you the best results. The main thing is to have fun and keep your sense of humor. Enjoy and you're more likely to stick to it."

Sara Ivanhoe's focus is on breathing, flexibility, looseness and relaxation, not achieving the perfect pose. The DVD begins with a very gentle warm-up stretch and it ends with plain relaxation. The set is beautiful with LOTS of glowing candles on the floor. Sara Ivanhoe guides...

krislynn says "The perfect yoga mat for me!!!" about Hugger Mugger Solace Yoga Mat

krislynn — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 05:54:07 GMT

Hugger Mugger
Solace Yoga Mat

I've been doing yoga for over a year now. I had no idea what type of yoga mat to get when I started doing yoga. I knew I wanted something soft and comfortable. I also wanted a yoga mat that was bigger than the standard 68" x 24" yoga mat.

I found and bought a yoga mat on Amazon called Hugger Mugger Solace Yoga Mat. The mat measures to 72" x 29" and is the perfect size for me to stretch out. What I like about this yoga mat is it's both a traditional non-slip sticky yoga mat and a yoga towel. It is capable of absorbing more moisture than your traditional yoga towels.

The top of the mat has woven texture that provides additional support and cushioning especially for those complex poses. When you lay on the mat, it feels like a soft rug. The back of the mat has a non-skid bottom that keeps the mat firmly in place while exercising. I've never had a problem with the yoga mat bunching up.

These yoga mats are machine washable. However, I have not tried washing my...

krislynn — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 06:16:55 GMT

Nintendogs
Dalmatian and Friends

One of the first games I bought for my Nintendo DS was called Nintendogs. There are four different game editions. The Chihuahua and Friends, Dachshund and Friends, Labrador and Friends, and the edition I have the Dalmatian and Friends. Each edition comes with six different breeds. You will be able to unlock all 20 breeds on one game edition. There is no need to buy all editions. This has been the most fun video game I have played in a long time.

The game starts out in the Nintendog Kennel. The six starter breeds in the Dalmatian and Friends edition are of course the Dalmatian, Beagle, Yorkshire Terrier, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and the Boxer. Each puppy has its own personality just like in a real one. Every time you bring up a breed, the puppies will shuffle from a selection of colors and personalities. This way you can pick the puppy you really want. Once you have your puppy picked out, pay the adoption fee and then off to home you go.

Suave
Volumizing Mousse

My hair has been straight for the past couple of years. I usually don't use mousse or gel in my hair. I just wash and let it go. Well, I got a spiral perm in my hair last week.

Nintendo
DS Lite

I had a Game Boy Advance system that I never used because it was difficult to see the screen. The lighting was very dim. Since the new Nintendo DS came out, I've wanted to get one. I finally bought the Nintendo DS Lite over a year ago at Sam‘s Club. I just love this handheld video game system. The best part of owning one of these systems is the hours of fun you will have playing the games. It is very hard for me to put my system down once I start a game.

In Chronological Order
by F. LaGard Smith

I’ve been interested in reading the Bible chronologically for many years. However, I was not sure what to expect from this type of Bible. This was until my aunt recommended that I get NIV The Daily Bible. I looked over her Bible and to my surprise, it was like reading a novel. I bought my Bible a few years ago.

The Bible is broken down in paragraphs. This is the most helpful Bible I have ever found. I have a clearer picture of the stories in the Bible. It also helps me to keep on a daily schedule in reading of the Bible. Not only is this Bible in chronologically order, but it is a New International Version (NIV).
