After buying a gently used mini van last year, we decided to invest in 4 new tires.  We chose Sam's Club to buy our Goodyear Allegra tires.  The tires that came with the van were okay but starting to show the wear from the previous owner.Each Allegra tire was priced at $71.58.  A strange price for a tire, I wondered why such an odd price!  Never did find out why, but the...

On my last trip to Target I got off track and ended up in the electronics section of the store.  I have been using the ear buds that came with my Ipod and they kept falling out when I run on the treadmill.  So when I saw the cute little pink package that says "SWEET LITTLE BUDS" I had to buy it!  I love the color too.  The end of the ear bud that you can see w...

The name of this product is Chocolate Smooth Move.  I wonder who picked that name?  I can just hear all of you laughing right now! Anyways, this product is an alternative to taking laxatives.  Now I know everyone of you has taken a laxative and since we are all adults, we can have this conversation.  You know what happens when you take a laxative right?  It's l...

I recently bought a new laptop.  I take it to work with me so that we can listen to internet radio from Hawaii.  I hooked up the laptop and turned the volume all the way up. It was hard hear the music coming from the speakers.  Laptops don't have the best speakers because you will be sitting right in front of the laptop when you normally are using it so they ar...

I bought these exercise resistance tubes because I wanted to try some different exercises that didn't require hand weights.  I like using free weights but these seemed to be more versatile.  These resistance tubes increase your flexibility and increase your muscle tone.  They are super easy to use!I use the stretchy bands to do many different exercises like over head pre...

I bought these beautiful wicker chairs at Target for my daughter and her husband for their anniversary. She only wanted wicker chairs and Target seemed to have the best prices.  I swear I looked at every wicker chair they had in the store. I felt like one of the three little bears trying out each one with different cushions to find the "just right" c...

I have Allstate Auto Insurance on my van.  This policy covers two people, my husband and myself. Since we are making payments to the bank on our van we needed to have full coverage on it.  We qualified for many discounts because we have been insured for a few years with Allstate.  We also carry our home insurance with Allstate and enjoy a multiple policy discount too.&n...

If you like the title of this review then you will love the feel of this special bra.  I found it at Kohl's, regular price was $33.00 for each bra, but it was on sale for $19.99 each/ buy 2 and get 1 free. When I saw it I thought it didn't look like much.  But since it was such a good sale I tried one on. It had no support I thought.  Well I was completely wrong.&nbs...

Let me tell you a little story.........Every since I have entered into the "menopause" phase of my life..........I have noticed many changes in my body.  One problem that was extremely bothersome to me was the loss of some of my top eyelashes.  They were literally falling out from the middle of the lash line to the inner corners on both eyes.  Having always been told th...

It's that time of year again.  The time when weeds and grasses invade my flower beds.  I am tired of pulling them out by hand.  I just don't have the time.  I was shopping at Meijer's the other day and I thought about applying some chemicals to the area to kill off the invaders.  I found this bottle of Preen.  It caught my eye because the bottle says it...

Do you like chocolate and mint?  Oh then you need to find some of these yummy Palmer Peppermint Patties!  I found these at our local Kroger store this weekend while shopping for groceries.  They are the perfect treat.  It's not too sweet and very cooling in your mouth.  I like to have a chocolate mint like this after having a dinner of garlic flavored meals.  T...

I received these Skecher shoes as a gift for my birthday.  I needed black shoes to wear at work but didn't want anything that was too heavy.  I'm on my feet for many hours and these shoes are so lightweight that it doesn't even feel like I'm wearing shoes.  I love the style.  There are no shoe strings to lace, simply slide your feet into the shoes and off you...

I am a big fan of mineral makeup.  I had been using Sheer Cover for a couple of years when I found Smoky Mountain Minerals on ebay.  I was looking for some refills for my foundation.  I saw this company and decided to give it a try because it was cheaper than Sheer Cover.  I bid on the starter set because that seemed a logical place to start to compare the two products. My s...

I wake up at 6am every day in the summer time.  Not because I want to, but because the morning sun smacks me in the face each day at that time.  I have some mini blinds and regular curtains on my bedroom window but they don't keep out the morning light.  So I took a trip to K-mart because they advertised some "black out curtains".These are called "Eclipse"...

Summer is the time for a lighter fragrance for me.  I was wandering the aisles at Target when this new line of products caught my eye.  I like to try new products but sometimes I won't buy them if they are in a large size.  If the product is available in a travel size or gift set I will usually buy that first.  These body mists came in a 2 fluid ounce bottle.  ...

I had a really really bad headache on Monday morning.  I took one of these 500mg rapid release gel caps right away.  Within the hour my headache was gone.  It did return after 6 hours so I took another gel cap.  These work so fast, and the fact that they do, is the reason I will keep these in my medicine cabinet from now on.  I used to buy the Tylenol tablets but these ...

We are having a fun gift exchange at our family's Christmas dinner.  I bought these cute little Fresh Friends Air Fresheners as part of my gift exchange.  They are very inexpensive and very adorable!  The ones I purchased are a green Christmas Tree that has a winterfresh pine scent, a Bear that has a jungle breeze scent, a Santa with a apple cinnamon scent and a purple E...

I just bought a new laptop and was searching online for a case for it.  I had looked at a few stores and most all of the cases were a plain black case.  I wanted something unique and different.  I checked my email in between searching for the case.  I had just received an email from disney.com.  They were having a weekend sale! Perfect! I checked the luggage s...

I took my granddaughter shopping on Sunday afternoon.  As I was strapping her into her booster seat, I noticed the smell of cigarettes coming into my van.  I turned around and saw the man in the car next to us smoking in his car, with his window rolled down.  Well, by the time I had her buckeled in and shut the door, my entire van smelled like cigarettes.  The next stor...

Did you ever wonder how the movie stars have such white bright eyes?  I wondered...yes I did!  They always look like they have gotten a full night's rest and woke up all bright eyed.  Well I'll let you in on  a little secret. A friend of mine in Canada told me about this awesome little bottle of blue liquid. It's called Blue Collyrium.  In Canada it's kn...
