At first, I thought that renting movies over the internet was a dumb idea- I'm fairly frugal (read: CHEAP) and didn't think that we rented movies often enough to warrent a monthly bill. Little did I know, it would be a life saver.
The way it works is as follows: go to the website, Netflix.com, and sign up. You pay just $8/month for an UNLIMITED amount of movie watching. Go through the site, pick out either your favorite movies and rate them, and Netflix will then suggest movies they think you'll like; or just choose which movies to rent, put them in your basket, and off it goes! You get a movie within a day or two, watch it, send it back (free of charge) in the same envelope, and as soon as they receive it, they send you your next choice!
My husband is deployed, and with two little ones at home, this has been a super convenient way for me to have something to do in the evenings without having to bundle everyone up and drive down to Blockbuster. It's convenient, no late fees, no hassles. Awesome. Now, if they would just send over some Milk Duds and a bottle of wine, I'd be set.

I was looking for an antiaging product that wouldn't put me more into debt- this product works pretty well for the money. It's certainly not the quality you would find at the dermatologists office, but, after 4 weeks of use, my skin is smoother, softer, and I've noticed less fine lines. Not that I had alot to begin with, mind you, but there has been an improvement.
One note of warning- not really for use around your eyes- I have pretty sensitive skin, and as we all know, the skin around the eyes is pretty sensitive anyway, and it can actually make it a little red, raw and irriated if you use it in the wrong areas.
Overall, I'd say if you're looking for something with more of an immediate result, and don't mind spending the money, then go for the Retinol smoothing serum x 3, or something similar that you can find at the derm's office, however, if you don't mind waiting a few weeks, and want to save a bit of cash, this product is a good 'starter' anti aging product.
