lmeadows says "Rimmel is the only mascara you'll ever need!" about Rimmel London LYCRA Lash Extender Mascara

lmeadows — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 17:12:10 GMT

I can't say enough good things about Rimmel's Lycra Lash Extender mascara. I use it daily and just one or two coats do the trick.

Since my eyelashes are completely blonde, I need a good mascara that will cover thoroughly and darken without having to use five coats. This product definitely delivers.

Using other mascaras, I would sometimes have to pile on several coats just to have my lashes visible, but with Rimmel's product, I simply put on a coat and go!

Other "lengthening" mascaras have made the same claims that they curl your lashes and leave no clumps, but I had no luck with those until I tried Rimmel's product. You don't get the "spider lashes" that you get with other mascaras, but you can build upon layers to get that dramatic effect if you want a little extra "oomph".

Another bonus: one tube lasts much longer than other mascaras. You don't get the dried out mess that sometimes comes after using a tube for several weeks. So, you get great coverage, no clumps, and the...

lmeadows says "Healthy Choice brings the spice!" about Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers General Tso's Spicy Chicken

Healthy Choice's Cafe Steamers are an excellent option for those on the go who are also watching their calorie intake.

Although portions are on the small side, the meal is tasty, low-cal and even has a lower sodium and fat ratio than some other frozen "healthy" meals.

VERY easy to prepare: the directions are straightforward and, if you can push a few buttons, you can have this meal in no time.

The sauce being steamed separate from the rest of the entree allows the food to cook thoroughly without getting soggy or mushy, a huge plus in my book.

All in all, this is a great meal to have at the office or for a quick bite at home when you're not looking to overload your stomach or pack yourself full of calories and sodium.

lmeadows says "Etsy has something for everyone!" about Etsy.com

lmeadows — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 16:23:05 GMT

Etsy.com is the next wave of internet shopping.

Far more personal than eBay, items are handmade or vintage, and many of the sellers offer personalization on items, and will do custom orders.

Pricewise, many sellers are very reasonable, although a few do charge a bit more than would be expected for art pieces.

Some of the great features of Etsy include the ability to mark sellers AND items as favorites, so you can revisit them later.

Search capabilities are great on Etsy: there is a convenient sidebar where you can search by color, new items, handpicked, etc. You can also type in keywords for items, item descriptions, and sellers.

It can be slightly overwhelming to see so many great items in once place, but if you take the time and have a little patience, you're sure to find the perfect thing.

I've found several great gifts on Etsy and definitely look to this site first for unique deals.

lmeadows says "LG Voyager - A great phone!" about LG - Voyager Cell Phone

lmeadows — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:52:33 GMT

The LG Voyager is a great answer to the iPhone: those who want touch screen capabilities without all the extra hassle (or the requirement to only go with ONE cell phone carrier).

This phone is definitely durable, while not being too bulky to fit into your purse or pocket.

The sound quality is excellent, even on speakerphone! Instead of having to shout, you can speak normally and have a regular-volume conversation; this can't be said about some other speakerphones that are out there. The only con about the Voyager's speakerphone is that you can't access it from the touchscreen and must open the phone to use it.

With mp3 capabilities, you can take your music wherever you go; the phone itself holds several songs, and with an expansion card, you can fit your whole library!

While the camera has no flash, it still takes quality pictures and has several functions such as color manipulation (sepia, black and white, etc) and a night mode for picture taking in darker settings.

Overall,...

lmeadows says "Lasko heater model 5132: well worth the price & super dependable" about Lasko Heater - Ceramic Tower Heater - 5132

lmeadows — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 21:13:49 GMT

The Lasko 5132 ceramic tower heater is a must-have! I used it at work in a basement office and it worked like a charm. The thermostat kept me from getting too hot, and the oscillation helped blow air throughout the room so it was never stagnant.

The remote control was also handy; it allowed me to place the heater across the room and still adjust the heat to my liking.
