tylersgirl says "MMMmm...Yummy Scent" about Palmolive Ultra Aromatherapy Dish Soap

tylersgirl — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 23:25:56 GMT

The Thirteen Fluid Ounce Palmolive Ultra Anti-Stress Aromatherapy Liquid Soap is my new best friend in the kitchen! I have always hated the way my hands smell, the dishwater smells, and sometimes even the dishes smells while cleaning them. They always, inevitably, smell like grease, fat, leftover meat and vegetables, etceteras. You know how it goes. But the Palmolive Ultra Anti-Stress Aromatherapy Liquid Soap helps to take some of the stink and the stress away. Just close your eyes and pretend like you're in a spa! Okay, maybe not that good, but it does work really well on tough grease still and the scent is wonderful. I even use it when my boyfriend gets grease stains on his close (I use it to pre-treat before the wash). Works like a charm! My sponges and scrubbers even smell fresh the next morning after I use them to clean up dinner! You sure can't beat that! Palmolive remains not that pricey, which I love, and this lavender scent will truly calm your senses! I say indulge!...

tylersgirl says "Makes you Feel Like a goddess!" about Gillette Venus Embrace Women's Razor

tylersgirl — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 23:14:29 GMT

The Gillette Venus Embrace Women's Razor truly makes you feel like a goddess! I have what is considered an olive complexion-I also have very very dark brown hair that grows in extremely thick (not only on top of my head but also all over my legs...I know, gross, right???). I pretty much have to shave each and every single day or else my hairs become monstrosities! I'm not even kidding! If I shave in the shower before bedtime, by the end of the next day you will be able to see (and feel) black stubble all down my legs. With other razors before this, my legs would get torn to shreds and razor burns was a frequent inhabitant on my legs. But then one day I picked up a Gillette Venus Embrace Women's Razor from my local Wal-Mart and Voila! No more legs being torn to shreds! Yes, my hair still grows just as fast, but at least it's not still just as painful! The only major downfall is that these refills are ex-pen-sive. And, if you have to shave as frequently as I do, it adds up! So,...

tylersgirl says "Optimash is a Smash!" about Hasbro Mr. Potato Head Transformers Optimash Prime

tylersgirl — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 23:00:48 GMT

Hasbro's Mr. Potato Head Optimash Prime is so freaking sweet! As a child, I adored transformers. I saw the movie when it was in theaters, and yes, I did buy the Mr. Potato Head Optimash Prime (Even though I am 26 and I do not have any kids, spare my 23 year old boyfriend ;)) I have always had a soft spot for Mr. Potato head dolls, and Optimash is no different. While he does not come with as many parts as other Mr. Potato head dolls, he is slightly easier to assemble for smaller children (Even my two year old niece can put Optimash together in a few seconds with ease). One problem that I have with my optimas, however, is that his arm pieces are much larger than the other Mr. Potato Head arm pieces Since I have three Mr. Potato Head dolls that sit on my bookshelf, if my niece and nephew come to visit and they mix up the bodies, only Optimash's arms will stay put in the Optimash body (the others are now "too small" for the holes where Optimash's arms go). This is very annoying and confusing...

tylersgirl says "Perfect for all those sensitive spots!" about Basis Sensitive Skin Bar 4 oz

tylersgirl — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 22:54:28 GMT

The Four Ounce Basis Sensitive Skin bar is a life-saver for me! Somehow my skin reacts to everything...from cigarette smoke, to strong perfume, to the chemicals they put in as "soothers" on razors to shave your legs! The four ounce basis sensitive skin bar has done wonders for me in this light. I first read about it online on an interstitial cystitis support group side. I have interstitial cystitis and the gals on there raved about it...saying that the Basis Sensitive skin bar would not leave me stinging after the shower. Well, I tried Target and Kroger and Meijer to no avail. And then, lo and behold, at WalMart in the FACEWASH aisle on the VERY BOTTOM shelf was the basis bar. And you know what? It held up to the hype. It's a no frills soap, but it's exactly what I needed it. I nice clean cleaning with no stinging and no rash aftermath! Isn't that all a girl can really ask for? Anyway, if you have any sort of skin sensitivity issues, I'd say go for the Basis Sensitive Skin bar...it's...

tylersgirl says "Aveeno Ultra Calming Moisturizer is Awesome!" about Aveeno Ultra-Calming Moisturizing Cream

tylersgirl — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 22:48:29 GMT

Aveeno ultra-calming moisturizing cream is a God-send for me! NO SERIOUSLY! I got put on some new medicine that I had some sort of freak reaction to that gave my face a TERRIBLE rash (and right before I was supposed to go on summer vacation with my boyfriend). The rash was also drying my skin like crazy. I could NOT find anything that I could put on my face to soothe my poor skin, until my friend recommended I try the Aveeno ultra-calming moisturizing cream! Not only did it help to soothe my dried and cracking skin, but it also took away some of the redness! I kid you not! There's no soap (It uses feverfew, which is a relative of chamomile) so it really does help to calm both your skin AND your nerves! Did I mention it's also hypoallergenic? Yeah, aveeno really went all-natural on this one, and my skin is truly thanking them for it! I highly recommend this to anyone fighting off problems with a stressed out face! It saved mine!

tylersgirl says "The best mp3 Players ever!" about SanDisk - Sansa View MP3 Player

tylersgirl — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 02:07:25 GMT

I had a 30 gigabyte iPod for the LONGEST time. In fact, I was one of the first people to have one, I'd say. Back when iPod's were chunky and not cheap. I got another one after that. I had 7,000 songs on there on a regular basis and I listened to about 200, tops, at a time. Also, the battery died before the end of my work day (when the mp3 player was only 2 years old, which I thought was absolutely ridiculous). My boyfriend suggested the much more compact and CHEAPER Sansa family to me and boy am I glad! They picture is just as amazing, you can still put videos and pictures on there, the sounds is great, and you can add more space to your Sansa if you need it through the use of a compact SD memory card. It doesn't require special software for your computer like itunes for an ipod does, plus you can listen to the radio through your Sansa and even make your own voice recordings. I am in love with this. Oh, did I mention the battery life is TWENTY FOUR HOURS?? I NEVER...

tylersgirl says "A LIfesaver" about Seasonale Birth Control Medication

tylersgirl — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 02:00:56 GMT

Since I turned fifteen I have suffered from a sever case of Endometriosis. I have been on almost every birth control method you can possibly think of to try and keep my Endometriosis at bay--I've done shots, patches, the NuvaRing, and every pill you can think of. Since I have started taking Seasonale on a daily basis I have been virtually symptom free. Before my birth control was not strong enough to keep my symptoms of pain and bloating away. I would have break through bleeding and spotting every month before. The shots made me gain 35 pounds in a little over 2 months, and the Nuvaring felt absolutely disgusting (not to mention that my boyfriend absolutely hated it). Seasonale has worked great--I just take a single pill every night, for three months straight, and I manage to stay virtually symptom free. The other great part about it is that it maintains the growth of my endometrium so well that when I finally do have to have a period, it's not horrible. If you have Endometriosis...

tylersgirl says "AMAZING!" about Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with Febreeze VS Clorox with Bleach

tylersgirl — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 01:56:31 GMT

Mr. Clean magic eraser saved my security deposit! The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with Febreeze smells great and works even better! My boyfiend had problems at his last apartment because he had several black scuff marks left on the walls, greasy hand prints from beer and pizza night with the guys, and dirty marks on the floor. Well, that was before I came along. When he moved out of his most recent apartment (post meeting me) I came along with a mop bucket and a box of mister clean magic erasers. Although it took some time (and the sponges do feel a little yucky when they start to disentigrate from scrubbing really hard). That aside, all the marks magically came off! He got back every single cent of his security deposit and we were both incredibly happy. I won't lie...it does take some time to scrub away gunk if it's been on there for a while--it's not as easy going as the commercials, but it DOES work. If you've got mess, go for it!

tylersgirl says "Big step up from my old one" about Kenmore Washer and Dryer - Stackable Super Capacity

tylersgirl — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 01:48:16 GMT

The Kenmore Stackable Super Capacity Washer and Dryer has been a HUGE step up for my boyfriend and I. We live in a two bedroom apartment where a very very old washer and dryer were originally furnished. It would take over THREE HOURS for a single load of laundry to be dried--talk about your pains in the butt, not to mention way too much expense just for electricity bills (and we all know the cost of electricity is NOT cheap). The Kenmore STackable Super Capacity Washer and Dryer is efficient. Although there are not a lot of bells and whistles, they get the job done. There's enough space for two people's laundry in a load, and the dryer works in (usually) just one cycle. There are more options than my last set--although the options are pretty standard nowadays, it's been so much better on my laundry to have the option of low-heat drying or changing the settings from just cold and hot on the washer to cold/cool/warm/hot. I recommend this. It's good for the price, and great...

tylersgirl says "So easy to use!" about George Foreman Indoor Grill - GR10AWHT

tylersgirl — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 01:42:56 GMT

This works so great and is SO easy for indoor use. I can get my sides going on the stove and still make really tasty burgers or grilled cheese on the side. The clean up is very easy and the amount of fat and grease it takes out of my food just by its sheer design is AMAZING! I can actually cook four hamburgers at one time. It's also great for bacon in the mornings (almost a whole pack), brats, you name it and you can use a foreman for it. All you have to do is close the lid and let them cook. No flipping and no hassle...REALLY! If you're anything like me and you don't like a lot of work in the kitchen foreman's will work great for you. Just plug it in, when the light changes color you toss your food on, close the lid, check on it in a few minutes and voila! your food is done! It comes with a handy-dandy scraping tool to get the extra gunk out of the ribbed grilling surface and a plastic dish to catch the extra fat and grease. I hope you enjoy!

tylersgirl says "Habatchi grill = yummy!" about Kabuto - Greenwood, IN

tylersgirl — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:59:06 GMT

Kabuto is SO reasonably priced. At lunch I get chicken and shrimp meal (with salad, soup, veggies, chick and shrimp) and it only costs $8.95. The service is great, the environment is not overwhelmingly busy or noisy, and it's so tasty! The best habatchi I've had! Do yourself a favor and ask for two helpings of the white sauce! Yum! Yum! Yum!...

tylersgirl says "Pretty good coverage, pretty good cost" about Anthem

tylersgirl — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:57:43 GMT

Anthem has been my provider since I've been carrying my own insurance. They do a pretty good job. The In-Network selections are vary vast (at least here in the midwest, I can't really speak for other areas of the country). The co-pays are reasonable. Overall, it's a pretty good insurance company. I've had a couple of problems where they have told me they would not pay for things, but after a few phone calls I usually get it straightened out. It's annoying to have to call, but if you keep it...they will work with you....

tylersgirl says "Started out okay, ended horirbly" about Washington Mutual - Visa

tylersgirl — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:56:15 GMT

I signed up with WaMu when I was in college. They gave me a no interest for a year and then said that it would be low interest after that. Over the past three years it's gone from 5% to 32.9%. I hate WaMu. I'm glad they're in financial trouble--they're heartless jerks! Even when i was in a horrible accident and nearly died the girl on the phone still yelled at me and called me irresponsible when I was late on my payment becuase i was IN THE HOSPITAL. This institution is miserable...

tylersgirl says "A Total Piece of Crap" about LG - Strawberry Chocolate Cell Phone

tylersgirl — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:54:33 GMT

My LG chocolate has had to be replaced 7 times in the past 1.5 years. The charging mechanism falls out, the hard drive has fried a couple of times, it just goes completely crazy and then dies on me. This is the worst phone I've ever had in my entire life. The sound quality is not that great, the camera on it sucks, and it's not worth the money. I cannot wait until my 2 year agreement is up. Do not EVER get this phone. It will be the biggest waste of money ever and the most frustrating phone you'll ever deal with!...

tylersgirl says "Nothing is better than being a boilermaker!" about Purdue University-Main Campus

tylersgirl — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 18:25:02 GMT

I grew up in Indiana...I'm not going to lie. I looked at, and was even accepted to, several other schools both in-state and out of state. However, my senior year of high school, I took a college day and traveled north to West Lafayette to visit Purdue University.I fell in-love!! While the campus itself is NOT the most gorgeous thing to look at, the environment is nothing but fun! Everyone was very welcoming, and the campus was pretty easy to learn how to maneuver. While academia was my foremost priority, the campus still had an awesome night life scene. There is ALWAYS something to do for EVERYONE! Football games, parties, bars, classes, club meetings, and clubs...purdue has it all!...

tylersgirl says "The most AMAZING mascara ever!!" about Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara

tylersgirl — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:34:04 GMT

I have had a long, ongoing struggle to find a decent mascara for my eyes. My eyes seem to be pretty sensitive, and cheap mascara always flakes off and gets in my eyes anyway. Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara has been a god-send! This mascara both thickens and lengthens my sometimes puny looking lashes. It also keeps my lashes soft and manageable, rather than brittle and coarse! With cheaper mascaras, it seems like my eyelashes will break off if I wear them all day, but not Mary Kay's Ultimate Mascara! It keeps them going strong! I could NOT ask for more!! I am so very happy with this mascara that I have vowed to use nothing else but Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara for the rest of my life (so long as they make it)!!...

tylersgirl says "Great coverage, great low cost!" about Maybelline Expertwear Eye Shadow Single, Night Sky

tylersgirl — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:39:31 GMT

I do not have a lot of money, nor do I wear make-up every day. HOWEVER, I do wear it occasionally when I want to look a little nicer or to help spark my boyfriend's interest ;) This eyeshadow (Maybelline Expert Eyes Shadow Single, Night Sky) is perfect for just that! It goes on smooth, covers well, and doesn't have much problems with creasing! It makes me feel glam even though I don't want to spend a lot of money or put on gobs of makeup! I highly recommend the Maybelline Expert Eyes Shadow Single in Night Sky!! :)...
