mrsm531 says "This stuff works, every time" about Advil Liqui-Gels

mrsm531 — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 03:09:00 GMT

The liqui-gels work fast and efficiently, definitely the way to go. They get rid of any pain or discomfort due to headaches, cramps, whatever. These are my go-to pain killers when I need pain relief. I hardly ever get headaches, but when I do I take a few of these liqui-gels and they dissolve my headache quickly. I use these pills mostly to lessen the discomfort from cramps during my period, so ladies I highly suggest using Advil liqui-gels if you suffer the same problem during "that time of the month." I usually take one more than the recommended dosage and I have never had any problems. Advil can be a little expensive, but in my opinion all the name brand drugs are. It's worth paying the extra for Advil liquid gels because they really do work, and in my book that's money well spent! I was recently sick with the flu and started taking Tylenol to keep my fever down, but I ended up trading the Tylenol for Advil liquid gels because they work so well. I noticed my fever, body aches and headache...

mrsm531 says "Mac fan for life" about Apple Macbook

mrsm531 — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 03:05:18 GMT

I used to be a PC person, I admit it. Once I got my MacBook though, wow was I hooked! I love never having to mess with virus protection! I love the quality of the computer, my battery has lasted forever! The "learning curve" is not bad at all, Macs are easy to use and fun! All you need to do is find someone who has a Mac and let them walk you through all the features, or you could go the fun route and just experiment for yourself. Safari is so much quicker than IE, and if you really don't like it you can always install firefox. Microsoft Office can be installed onto any Mac and works just as well. They offer the software when you buy your computer. The Apple people have always been very friendly and helpful the few times I've spoken with them. My MacBook came with iTunes, iPhoto, and a basic movie maker. Plus, Macbooks have built-in cameras! The Photobooth program comes built in and is lots of fun to use!!

mrsm531 says "THE way to go!" about Bare Escentuals Starter Kit

mrsm531 — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 02:58:02 GMT

This starter kit offers everything you need to become a bare escentuals fan and have a natural-looking flawless look. The powders are light and easy to apply, just follow the steps and you're sure to look beautiful. The only problem is that if you accidentally tap out too much powder, there is no way to get the excess powder back into the container. This obstacle makes traveling with the products difficult due to things getting jostled during travel of any sort. Other than that, I have nothing negative to say about any of the products from Bare Escentuals! The starter kit includes a foundation that feels so light I forget I'm wearing make-up. Also, there is a mineral veil that gives you added color (great if you tend to be less tan than you'd like). The brushes are easy to use, and the instructional video is easy to follow if you're new to the brand and need it. Swirl, tap, buff! It really is that simple.

mrsm531 says "Professional quality that lasts" about O.P.I. Nail Lacquer

mrsm531 — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 02:50:47 GMT

OPI is the first brand that comes to mind when I think of nail polish, and with good reason. The variety of colors is mind-boggling (and can be overwhelming, but in the best way possible), all of which are creatively named with cute phrases. The polishes go on easy and stay for 4-5 days in my experience. I recommend putting a top coat over your polish to seal in the color and better protect against chipping. With so many colors to choose from, you're bound to find a few favorites for manicures and pedicures. Also, the company comes out with new colors/collections every season so there's constantly more choices. It's perfect for fickle people who get bored easily with the same old colors. OPI is a very creative brand and I love the fact that they offer consumers so much color variety in their polishes. The wide brushes make application easy and professional, even if you're the one doing your nails!

mrsm531 says "The perfect shampoo!" about Aveeno Aveeno Nourish + Volumize Shampoo

mrsm531 — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 02:45:12 GMT

I love Aveeno Nourish + Volumize Shampoo! It smells amazing, and it really does work well with my hair. I've tried many shampoos over the years, and this one made me a fan instantly. Plus, it's high quality at a low price! You can buy Aveeno shampoos and matching conditioners at drugstores, grocery stores, Ulta stores, practically anywhere! The Nourish+ line of products really is awesome! My roommate has the leave-in condition and loves it, especially during the summer time with lots of sun to dry out your hair. I really like this shampoo because the smell is so wonderful. Now, I have to admit that I failed to see any remarkable difference in the volume of my hair, so if that's the only result you're after I'd say look elsewhere. If you want soft hair that's full of life and smells great, then this is the shampoo for you. It works even better when you get the matching conditioner. Overall, what's not to love?

mrsm531 says "Thrills and chills from start to finish!" about Supternatural: The Complete First Season

mrsm531 — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 00:00:15 GMT

I've followed Supernatural since its first episode. The plots are well written and executed, the actors are hot, and each show draws you in further. I also like the music that gets paired with certain scenes. It always matches up great, not to mention that most of the songs I like anyway.

mrsm531 says "So addictive!" about Gossip Girl

mrsm531 — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 23:54:19 GMT

Gossip Girl is quite the addicting show. I've been hooked on it since the pilot episode! I agree it is a guilty pleasure, especially with their racy recent ad campaign for the upcoming second season. I love living vicariously through the wealthy characters. Oh to live the glam life in NYC!

mrsm531 says "Fun basic, reliable cell phone" about LG - The Wave Cell Phone

mrsm531 — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 23:07:59 GMT

I really enjoy the LG The Wave cell phone. The camera is easy to use and pictures are pretty standard, as far as phones go. You can store pictures, email, or picture text easily. The phone itself is small enough to fit in a pocket, so it's a good size. The screen is easy to read, and you an adjust the background. The phone has a slot for a microSD chip, so you can put your own music on the phone to listen to whenever! I've had the phone for over a year, and no problems with it. It's pretty user-friendly too.
