olwenh says "natural and stays on all day" about Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Complexion Make-up

olwenh — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:04:26 GMT

I love Bare Escentuals. I have used it for 3 years and my complexion is still great and I am in my late 60's. It goes on smoothly and stays on all day. I love mixing colors of eye shadow, so much fun. It is great for travelling- no problems with security at the airports

olwenh says "Thus camera has a really great zoom, the photos are outstanding," about Sony - DSC T100 Digital Camera

olwenh — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 23:57:22 GMT

I love this camera, the zoom is really good, the focus is outstanding, my pictures turn out as sharp and clear as those taken with a much larger camera with extra lenses. I couldn't be happier with it.

olwenh says "This is the best machine in the world- bar none" about Bernina 830

olwenh — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:10:46 GMT

I have sewn with the Bernina machines for about 25 years and honestly wouldn't use any other. Each time they came out with an upgraded machine I traded up. The 830 with the embroidery system is the absolute top of the line. It is computerized and almost does anything I ask of it. I have had a home sewing business for many years so I work my machines hard. The Bernina is the only machine that I can go from sewing the fines chiffon to the heaviest of denim or canvas and I don't need to even think of adjusting the tension. I am still learning all the things the 830 offers, it is very complex, but I am having fun and have embroidered several items. It really is the best.

olwenh says "I have never slept better" about Sleep Number King size dual comfort controls

olwenh — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:02:13 GMT

We have had our Sleep number bed for 5 years now. At first I loved the comfort but felt like I had to climb the center baffle to snuggle with my husband, but perseverance softened the center and now we don't even notice it. My husband is frustrated by the fact that if we have a power failure the setting goes back to 50, and we have to reset it to the numbers we have chosen. He feels that a bed this expensive should have a back up battery to save the setting, and i have to agree with him, if it wasn't for that I would have given it a 5 star rating. We really do sleep better than in any other bed.

olwenh says "It really helps" about Rexall Sundown Osteo Bi-Flex

olwenh — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:53:14 GMT

I have been taking Osteo BiFlexfor several years to help my ageing knees.When they introduced the advanced formula with 5-LOXIN I was happy to try it. The first time we took a week long trip and didn't bother taking the Osteo Biflex was the last. When we got back home our knees were doing the usual cracking and creeking. Now whenever we are going away I am sure to pack the Osteo Biflex . It really does work.

olwenh says "I am so glad I got the Kitchen Aid Artisan" about KitchenAid Kitchen-aid mixer

olwenh — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:45:14 GMT

I have always wanted a stand mixer so when my hand mixer "died" I did a lot of research and asking questions before I bourght the Kitchen Aid Artisan. I couldn't be happier, I find myself getting it out to do everything from beating eggs, making cakes or making bread. I am so proud to own it.

olwenh — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:36:56 GMT

I have had this Kitchenaid Food Processor for about 10 months and love it. It is so much better than the old one I had. The bowl is large, everything is easy to use, wash and put away. The mtor is very powerful, never acts like it is working overtime no matter what I am mixing or chopping. With the attatchments included I can really do most anything.

olwenh says "its a lot of trouble to grind everyday in the machine." about Cuisinart Grind and Brew - Thermal Coffee Maker

olwenh — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 14:38:03 GMT

it makes great coffee, but the insides have to be dry before you can grind the next batch of beans, which means you have to take it apart and wash and air dry before putting a fresh pot on. I just use pre groung coffee now to save time and effort....

olwenh says "this machine has no problem going from the fine to heavyfabrics " about Bernina Sewing Machine - Artista 640

olwenh — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 18:11:51 GMT

I have sewn with Bernina for over 20 years now and just keep on trading up to the next best machine. I wouldn't buy any other brand. The quality is amazing, I never have to adjust the tension, no matter if I am sewing on the finest chiffon or the heaviest denim. I sew as a home business on the side , to make a little extra money, and have never had a Bernina cause me problems....

olwenh says "This is an easy to use camera, with a great zoom" about Sony - Cybershot T100 Digital Camera

olwenh — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 18:02:18 GMT

I love my Sony, it has a large screen and a 5 times digital zoom lense. I would put the photos up against any other camera, they are clear and the color is great. I make dvd's and they are perfectly focused even shown on alarge screen tv. The camera has an easy to read and understand menu, which is very important to me as I seem to get confused easily with electronic instructions....
