My husband and I travel a lot. We have tried over the neck pouches and waist pouches. They were either uncomfortable or too visible. Then we discovered the Eagle Creek Undercover Hidden Pocket. We position it behind our side pants pocket. That way, any bulge simply looks like we have something in that pocket. In that position, it is safe and also comfortable and easy to access. Now, we don’t leave home without it.

We took a cross country trip about two years ago. Our GPS navigation system was invaluable during the trip. Sure, the route can be planned out ahead of time. But there were numerous times we took a side road that looked interesting. Or we got caught up in traffic detours. Or we made a wrong turn. The navigation system always got us back to heading in the right direction. Now, even home, I find myself using it, particularly if I’m heading to a new part of town. Easy to use and dependable, I can’t see myself without it now.

My husband uses a Canon 30D and is an amateur photographer who has won awards for his photos. He just broke down and bought this new lens and LOVES it.
He is just amazed at how sharp the image is. I had him give me one of his photos to use here. Take a look at this iris, the one in front. (The rear one is purposely blurred.) You can see every line, every fold. You can even see the white fluffy cottonwood clinging to it.
He can’t believe he waited as long as he did to buy it.

My dad lives in Florida. So I’ve had plenty of opportunity to taste Florida water. And I have to admit I don’t care for it all. Which is what led us to getting a Brita Pitcher. It works great. We pour water right from the tap into the pitcher and the pitcher filters the water very quickly. And, boy, does it taste a LOT better. I highly recommend the Brita Pitcher.

I know a lot of us have changed over to the energy saving light bulbs. But there could be places in your house where something like GE’s Reveal light bulbs would work best. They are very bright and don’t have a yellowish cast to their light. Based upon reviews I’ve read, consumers feel the Reveal light bulb really brightens things up. If you’ve got a dark corner in your house, it might be the perfect spot for a GE Reveal light bulb.

I think it’s great that the medical clothing industry has finally come up with lab coats designed specifically for women. Instead of just the lose and straight hanging white coats, these have a bare hourglass shape. It is just enough to add some femininity without losing any professionalism.

I think this is by far one of my favorite inventions - at least when I was pregnant! The Bella Band is a genius idea! Here’s why:
When I was pregnant I had my favorite pair of jeans and I just wasn’t ready to give them up, even though I couldn’t close the button anymore. I tried utilizing string and rubber bands to keep my jeans closed but what a pain! It didn’t work and it didn’t look nice either.
The Bella Band is a seamless knit band you wear at your waistline, over your unbuttoned pre-pregnancy pants, over slightly big maternity pants, or around the waistband of any maternity style that falls down around your hips.
I definitely recommend the Bella band to all you pregnant mom’s to be!

There is an amazing line available from Tropez Cosmetics. I found it in a Rite Aid in Pennsylvania; Tropez can also be bought at Duane Reed, K-Mart, Walgreen’s, and other drugstores.
You can actually purchase a few items for under ten dollars and have change.
Great product!

Here’s my review…I LOVE these things!
When I first tried them they felt weird on my skin, the texture feels like a balloon and appears strange at first, but they rid your face of oil easily as well as grime and perspiration.
There is no fragrance and the tissues pop up easily. You will be amazed at what they remove! They’re small so you can carry them in a tiny purse, keep them in a desk drawer at work and even in the glove compartment of your car!
