This stuff is gold! The consistency isn't too thick, which is nice when grabbing a few finger fulls of it out of the tub. The feel of it is so silky smooth - I love it. I'm pretty accident prone, and had burned myself on the iron - after a shower, I used this stuff all over, and the burn didn't sting at all, and the symptoms of it pretty well disappeared by the next day, which was a pleasant bonus. I find the smell delicious, and my boyfriend says that the vanilla smell lingers pleasantly when I leave a room. That said, if you have a sensitive sniffer, I wouldn't use any other vanilla based products alongside this one (perfume, shower wash etc) as I did once and the combo vanilla smell that remained was just too overwhelming. -
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Yogurt Body Wash, Vanilla and Oats
Super smooth, with a nice lather (I know that lather doesn't mean it's working better than a non-lathering soap, but I loves me a good lather!), and the scent is really pleasant and calming. I've been using it for a few days now, and haven't touched... +
Super smooth, with a nice lather (I know that lather doesn't mean it's working better than a non-lathering soap, but I loves me a good lather!), and the scent is really pleasant and calming. I've been using it for a few days now, and haven't touched anything else in the shower! I really really like this, and am going to have to start stocking up on it, as my boyfriend has taken a liking to it as well (mister sensitive skin). -

I've tried MANY curly hair products, and this isn't the best, but it's up there. I have just below shoulder length, wavy-curly hair, and I use about two quarters' worth of product and run it through just washed, slightly towel-dried hair. I scrunch, help coil some lost or straightened chunks of hair, and usually just air dry it. Whether I air dry or use a diffuser on my hair dryer, the curls come out natural, loose, and with very little, if any, frizz.
Why I've turned to this product for a second time is that it's 8.5 ounces for $22 USD, and usually I spend quite a bit more for something smaller, but a bit higher end.
I am trying more of Miss Jessie's products, but this one is a sure keeper for me.

NIVEA 3-in-1 Micellar Water

Enter Nivea's Micellar Water. Put some on a cotton pad, wipe gently over face and eyes... et voila! It's really that easy. I usually find myself trying to rip away the mascara from my face, but nope - it was removed really easily :).
I've found my go-to make up remover!!

I have to try this product again next time I'm applying makeup. I really liked the consistency of it, and appreciated that the product was a primer but also a moisturizer, as I'm in need of BOTH! I found my super dry spot in between my two brows was still pretty flakey when I put my foundation on, so I'm going to try again with more applied in that area. Otherwise, it was a nice and smooth base on the rest of my face that I really appreciated. -
GUM Eez-Thru Flossers
I appreciate that these are meant to be amazingly easy to use, but with my teeth I find that they get stuck and I don't have control of getting them out between stuck teeth easily. I prefer the old school string, I suppose.

Persil ProClean Liquid Laundry Detergent
Deliciously fresh scent - very potent. Too potent for my intimate wear :\. A really great detergent that I love using for my bed linens - I love walking into my bedroom when we've freshly changed the sheets and it smells CLEAN!

O.B. Tampons

The "value" bit is a bit tricky, because in general feminine hygiene is just so freakin' overpriced that it's ridiculous.
I started using OB when backpacking with a friend in Australia. Empty a box of these tampons in a ziplock baggie, and they took up no space at all.
I've now found that other tampons just don't absorb as well as OBs do. I've gotten over the no applicator fuss pretty easily, as now I find that I can get them where they need to be, and comfortably, much more easily.
I won't turn back - OB are higher quality than other tampons (and believe me, I take a sample, or use a different brand when at a friend's place and in a pinch) - other tampons use up so much more quickly, and their shape doesn't fit me quite as well.

Always wear gloves when using this item!
Moving into a condo where the previous owner was an elderly gentleman and definitely didn't clean too well, I grabbed a box of Magic Erasers and the tub/sink clean ups were easy peasy. I then visited my 96 year old aunt's place who has the same problem - a little elbow grease with one of these guys and the bathroom was back to normal.
I've also used these, rubbing lightly, on my car exterior after being scratched while being parked - success!

Polysporin is definitely a brand name that I stick to. I sliced my finger open while chopping, and it was a doozie. After stopping the bleeding (which took a good half hour), I spoke to a pharmacist who suggested keeping the wound wet with polysporin ointment and a bandaid, and cleaning only with soap & water. I took her suggestion, and this wound healed up in no time.
High five to Polysporin triple antibiotic! No infections!
