For years I passed Chocolate Cheerios as I shopped on the cereal aisle, thinking that I wouldn't like them. Something about chocolate flavored Cheerios just didn't sound good to me. A few months ago I had a coupon for Cheerios, plus they were on sale, so I decided to give them a try. To my surprise, they're delicious! They don't have the strong oat flavor I associate with regular Cheerios. As a bonus, they are not high in sugar and my kids all love them. I happened to purchase the Peanut Butter Cheerios at the same time, so I couldn't resist a little experimentation. Mixing the Chocolate Cheerios and the Peanut Butter Cheerios together makes for a really delicious bowl of cereal! Without a coupon and/or sale, I do think the price is a little high. -
Amazon Kindle Fire
I received my Kindle Fire as a birthday gift. I had no idea I would love it so much or I would have already had it! I think the best thing about it is that it's easy to use. Any time I've had a question, I just look it up on Amazon and I've been... +
I received my Kindle Fire as a birthday gift. I had no idea I would love it so much or I would have already had it! I think the best thing about it is that it's easy to use. Any time I've had a question, I just look it up on Amazon and I've been able to find my answer ever time.
The Fire is a little, compact tablet with a fabulous e-reader function. I can go online (with a WiFi connection) to any website, check my email, update my Facebook status, and more. There is an app store, which is not quite up to par with Apple - yet - but still pretty good. Books I purchase from Amazon are stored in cloud storage until I want to access them, so they aren't bogging down my device. It has a touch screen which is incredibly user-friendly.
The e-reader function is wonderful. It is full color and lights up, so I can read in bed without needing a book light. There are 8 different font sizes available, and you can change the typeface, the line spacing, the size of the margins, and the color mode - either black on white, white on black, or a sort of sepia color background. If you have more than one Kindle, as I do, you can sync to the furthest page read. You can also take notes, look words up on the built-in dictionary, and much more.
If you use the Kindle Fire a lot, it will need to be charged frequently. An nightly overnight charge would suffice to get through the day if you tend to use it daily.
I find that Amazon is very easy to work with. Searching for and buying books is simple as can be. My Kindle Fire has become one of my most prized possessions. I use it often and can't wait to figure more of its functions.

My mouth is very small and my teeth are so close together that I have a problem with many dental flosses. Some of them just don't want to squeeze between my teeth. This one glides easily, and I never feel like I have to yank it out, or like it's shredding in my mouth. It works really well and I am very pleased that I found a floss that works well for my mouth. The flavor is mint, and it's pleasant without being overwhelming at all. -

My husband and I both have very sensitive teeth. We've been using this toothpaste for less than a week and already we both have noticed a considerable difference in the sensitivity in our teeth. The flavor is called Frosted Mint, and it is pretty good. Some of the baking soda toothpastes taste terrible, so this one is a huge improvement. I just noticed that the package indicates not to use it for longer than 4 weeks without consulting a dentist, so I'll have to make sure I ask my dentist about the implications of using it longer. -

I love this cleanser because it gently exfoliates. It doesn't irritate my skin at all, yet my face feels soft and squeaky clean when I use it. Furthermore, this cleanser does not dry my skin out at all. The scent is light and very pleasant. I'm very sensitive to strong scents so this is important to me. This product is oil-free, soap-free,hypoallergenic, and noncomedogenic. Other exfoliating skin care products I have used in the past are not gentle enough to use daily, but this one is. My skin doesn't really feel clean unless I use an exfoliating product, so I'm really happy that I can use this one every day. -
