Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras

June 29th, 2009

iris1My 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.

Brita Pitcher

June 26th, 2009

brita-pitcherMy 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.

GE Reveal Light Bulbs

June 24th, 2009

reveal_collageI 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.

Lab Coats

June 22nd, 2009

lab-coatI 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.

Tropez = cheap = awesome!

June 3rd, 2009

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!

Clean and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets

June 1st, 2009

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!
