kristen72077 says "Hours of entertainment for you little girl!" about Playskool rose petal cottage

kristen72077 — Thu, 14 May 2009 00:25:55 GMT

The first thing I have to say about this toy is that you need a lot of time and patience to put it together. The directions were hard for me to follow and it's pretty complicated. Dont try to put this together on christmas eve!

Once you get it put together it is so cute, and the perfect size for a 3-6 year old to play. It comes with the oven only, but i would recommend buying a couple other accessories otherwise there's not really much to do.

For storage you can slide one side of the cottage into the larger side, it takes up only half the space this way, but it's not really something my daughter could push together or pull apart on her own.

I love that this toy is not electronic in any way, it requires no batteries! My daughter loved that it has curtains you can open and close, and it also has a chimney. It does take up quite a bit of space when it's not pushed together so that is somehting to take in to consideration.

kristen72077 says "Cooks healthier meals fast" about George Foreman Fat grilling machine

I love this grill. From chicken to burgers and even grilled cheese sandwichs it makes dinner fast, and easy.

I have the white model, but i've also seen this grill in silver red and black. Its simple to use, all you do is plug it in, let it warm up for a bit. Once the grill is warm you dont even need nonstick spray, you just place your food on it and close the lid and cooking begins! You also need to put the plastic drip pan under the grill to catch the grease that drips down.

You can cook food that is fresh or frozen. I was really pleased with how much grease drips out of the food and into the drip pan, especially when cooking hamburgers or any beef for that matter. Plus its way faster then cooking on the stove or in the oven. Plus when you done the plates can be removed and tossed into the dishwasher!

One thing I wish this grill offered is temp control. Sometimes if the chicken or meat is thin it seems to cook the outside too fast making it overdone on teh outside. ...

kristen72077 says "Good quaility swing" about Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing

kristen72077 — Thu, 14 May 2009 00:03:57 GMT

First off, this swing takes up a lot of floor space. If you have a smaller house/ and or apartment you might want to consider a smaller swing.

The good points of this swing are that it can swing back to front or side to side. My daughter prefered side to side like a cradle, but she also sometimes liked the front to back motion. It also has quite a range of speeds, so the heavier your child gets you can continue to swing at the same speed.

My daughter loves looking up at the fish mobile, and the globe also has glitter/fish etc. that kinda move around as the swing rocks. It plays 3 songs and also makes like water/ bubble type noises which i found hard to hear over the motion of the swing. The seat has a removable head rest and removable tray, the try is not very convinient because it makes it hard to get the baby out without opening it up every time, so most of the time I just went with the tray off.

The one BAD thing about this swing is that it requires size D batteries and...

kristen72077 says "Fructis shampoo makes hair greasy and lifeless" about Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo Sleek and Shine

kristen72077 — Tue, 12 May 2009 15:38:35 GMT

I decided to give this shampoo a try because I had a coupon. The first thing I noticed was that the shampoo does have a clean, pure smell. Its not too overpowering and its not to fruity.

I have hair that tends to be oily at the roots if I dont wash daily, and the rest of my hair i would describe as normal. It's not oily or dry at the ends. Now, I also highlight my hair every 6-8 weeks.

I used the shampoo following the instructions on the bottle. I used about a quarted size dollop for my shoulder length hair. I worked it in from the roots to ends, and then rinsed it quite a bit with warm water. I did not follow with the conditioner as is recomended on the bottle, mainly because I find that conditioner tends to make my oil prone hair even more oily.

When I got out of the shower and began to dry my hair with a towel, I noticed that there was almost a residue, like I hadnt rinsed all the way, when I had. After blowdrying without adding any other product to my hair my roots...

kristen72077 says "Lg phone is durable and has good reception." about LG - Scoop Cell Phone

kristen72077 — Tue, 12 May 2009 15:30:04 GMT

The LG scoop phone is not the "newest" or hippest phone out there, but it does get the job done. It has a camera that also records short video clips. One thing that I found lacking about the camera was that is does not have a flash, so unless your taking your pics outside they may come out a little dark.

It does offer the slide out qwerty keyboard which is awesome for someone who loves texting. One thing I found lacking was the number keys are shared, so everytime you want to type a number you have to push shift first, which is a little annoying but not bad.

It offers internet access which you have to subscribe to, but it also offers celltop, which has news, weather, ringtones, stocks, sports, etc. and this only charges you airtime.

Overall, I think this phone is very durable, i've dropped it several times and havent had any problem. I also dropped this phone into water, and it still WORKS! Overall, a good phone for the price.
