Review: Lock and Lock 26pc Food Storage Set

Love them!

(May 2 at 9:06am)

These are awesome storage containers that are totally airtight and keep food amazingly fresh. I also like that they are watertight which makes them perfect for transporting liquid foods like soup. The hinged lids are easy to close and the plastic is BPA-free. I highly recommend them!

Review: Equate Triple Antibiotic Plus

Just as good as the name brands

(May 2 at 9:00am)

This ointment has virtually the same ingredients as the more expensive Neosporin ointment and works just as well. It helps ease the pain of minor injuries and provides protection against infection, plus it costs a lot less.

Review: Pyrex 19 Piece Bakeware Set

Fantastic set

(May 2 at 8:55am)

This terrific bakeware set from Pyrex contains a variety of baking dishes, including custard cups. I especially like that it comes with lids which makes them great for storing leftovers or for transporting casseroles. It's excellent quality and I've been using mine for years and have had no issues.

Review: Samantha Brown's Passport To Great Weekends: Season 2

Entertaining series

(April 28 at 9:18am)

If you can't travel to all the amazing places in the world, you can always do it vicariously through Samantha Brown. She is the enthusiastic host of several shows on the Travel Channel, including this one. Episodes in Season 2 include Boston, Chicago, Montreal, Minnesota, Maui and many more. I don't own this DVD but I have seen all of the episodes on TV.

What I like about this series is that... more

Review: Endust 8 oz Anti-Static Cleaning and Dusting Pump Spray

Great Product

(April 28 at 9:13am)

In my house, it's an ongoing battle to control the dust around all the electronics but this product helps a lot. It helps control static charge, is easy to use and I've noticed that the dust doesn't return as quickly as it does if I just use a cloth with no product. I also like that it's safe for electronics and is also oil-free so there is no wax build-up.

Review: NeilMed NasaFlo Neti Pot

Not as good as SinuCleanse

(April 28 at 9:05am)

I normally use a SinuCleanse Neti Pot for my nasal irrigation but NeilMed was giving these away so I thought I'd try it.

This pot is much rounder and taller than my regular pot. It also has a lid and a bulb shaped tip which the Sinucleanse doesn't have (it doesn't need a lid - I've never had water come out the top opening). The one thing I noticed immediately on taking it out of the box is... more

Review: Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies

Delicious

(April 27 at 10:11am)

These are awesome cookies! They're sprinkled with sugar and are perfect for dunking in milk or coffee. I like that they're crispy but with each buttery bite, they melt in the mouth.

Review: Gain Liquid Laundry Original Fresh Detergent, 150 fl oz

Cleans well, smells fantastic!

(April 27 at 10:00am)

This laundry detergent does a great job at getting my clothes clean but what I especially like about it is the awesome scent. It's fresh and clean and lingers even after the clothes are dry. It does tend to be pricey but I don't need to use as much and I try to buy it on sale and use coupons.

Review: Danskin Now - High-Impact Seamless Sport Bra

Great bra

(April 27 at 9:54am)

This bra is affordably priced, very comfortble and launders well without losing its shape. I also like that it has a racerback so the bra straps are hidden under my racerback tops. It provides good support for walking but may not be enough for serious running.

Review: Thinner, by King

Creepy

(April 25 at 9:06am)

Thinner is an excellent book written under Stephen King's pen name of Richard Bachman. All of his books are creepy and this one is no exception. It tells the story of Billy Halleck, an overweight lawyer who kills an old gypsy woman with his car and then gets off with no charges. Angered by this, the gypsies put a curse on him and he begins to lose weight for no apparent reason. Compared to... more

Review: Lavender Vanilla Candle

Fantastic scent

(April 25 at 9:01am)

I like Yankee candles because of their excellent throw and awesome scents. The Lavender Vanilla is one of my faves. The scent is very light, not overpowering and leaves my house smelling fresh and clean.

Review: Lupo Power LockĀ® Suction Shower Mirror

Good for shower shaving!

(April 25 at 8:53am)

This is a good mirror for shower shaving, which my husband likes to do. It has a locking mechanism that holds the suctions cup securely in place and it also has slots that can hold 2 razors. The one negative about this mirror is that, over time, the fog-free properties have lessened considerably, but since we've been using it for close to 5 years, I still feel we got our money's worth. We... more

Review: Rubbermaid Pitcher, 1 Gal, 1 pitcher

Great design, easy to use

(April 24 at 10:07am)

I really like this pitcher. It's sturdy and well-made and the design makes it easy to grasp and hold while shaking or pouring. The lid tightens securely and also has a lift-opening so you don't need to unscrew the lid to pour. There are also measurement markings on the outside. Although I've read some reviews stating that the pitcher leaked, I haven't experienced that with mine and have been... more

Review: Prestige - Widescreen Dubbed Subtitle AC3

Fantastic magician film

(April 24 at 9:38am)

This film came out in 2006, the same year as The Illusionist. And although they are both period pieces set at the turn of the century and they both involve magicians, the storyline of The Prestige is quite different. It focuses on the rivalry between two magicians, excellently played by Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. It also has more of a sci-fi theme and, in my opinion, it's more complex... more

Review: Mainstays 27' Drying Rack

Portable and convenient

(April 24 at 9:35am)

I love having this rack. Gone are the days of having to drape clothing over the dryer, shower rod or whatever else I could find. This nifty wooden rack has lots of room, plus it's lightweight and foldable so it's easy to move and store. I'm very glad I bought it!

dogsrock I made my own Granola from scratch, came out great! (April 23 at 12:40pm)

Review: Walgreens Mesh Bath Sponges Large

Lathers like there's no tomorrow!

(April 23 at 9:59am)

I love these puffs because of the amazing amount of lather they generate with almost any kind of body wash. They also help keep my skin smooth by providing gentle exfoliation. They come with an attached string for convenient hanging in the shower. Over time, the puff will stretch out and become less effective. This is true of all the puffs I've ever tried, not just this one, but since they're... more

Review: Therabreath Fresh Breath Oral Rinse

Pricey but worth it

(April 23 at 9:55am)

Although I don't have major issues with my breath, I tried this brand because I like my mouthwash to be alcohol-free and the other brands I tried just weren't that great. This one is fantastic! It neutralizes and freshens and lasts a lot longer than other mouthwashes. I like that it's not minty and overwhelming - it basically leaves your breath smelling like nothing. Because it has no alcohol... more

Review: Holmes HAP726-U True HEPA Allergen Remover for Medium to Large Rooms

Works great

(April 23 at 9:49am)

This has been an excellent air purifier. I like that it's affordable and does what it's supposed to do. We use it in the bedroom and it has helped tremendously with my dust allergies. I've also noticed that when cleaning, the amount of dust is less than it is without the purifier. It uses both a HEPA and carbon filter, has 4 speeds and a digital display. It can also be positioned flat or... more

Review: Coleman 48 Quart Chest Cooler

Very sturdy, works well

(April 22 at 10:46am)

I like this cooler because it's well built, keeps food cold and it has a hinged lid so I don't need to worry about it getting blown away or lost. We've had ours for many years and it still going strong!
