I only started to use this product a little over a week ago, and so results as far as line reduction around my eyes is minimal. I have very sensitive skin and find that sometimes "fragrance free" actually means "smells unpleasant", but this cream is pleasantly free from any fragrance. Being in my late 20s I do have some early signs of lines around my eyes, but it is too early in using the cream to see any significant difference. I thoroughly enjoy applying the cream. The pump dispenses just the right amount of cream and when the cream is applied to the eyes, it is cool and almost slightly tingly (which makes me feel like it is working). I very much enjoy this product and enjoy having incorporated it into my daily routine. -

I just came back from spending a month trekking around in the Mediterranean sun and boy am I glad I had this on hand. Knowing that I was going to be spending most of my days in the sun hiking about, I didn't want to worry too much about reapplying sunscreen every five minutes. With and SPF of 85 I was covered. I usually find most SPFs quite oily and greasy, but not this one. Neutrogena's UltraSheer goes on quite dry, almost powdery. The only complaint I have is that if I didn't rub the SPF in well enough, I would get white, powdery lines where I was sweating (like the creases of my elbows). Other than that, I would highly recommend this SPF, especially if you have a long day in the sun planned. -

I love this anti-perspirant, as much as one can love such a thing. I have used Dove Ultimate Clear for years. I have very sensitive skin and this one does not irritate me at all, even the ones that are scented. I also like that their scents are subtle and clean smelling. It goes on smoothly and is extremely effective. I just spent the summer trekking around the Mediterranean and it kept me dry the whole time. -

This book is not for the faint of heart. Burrough's struggles to find a family and a place in this world are not pleasant to read about, especially when you find yourself laughing. Burrough's has an amazing talent to be able to write about his abusive and traumatic childhood with humor. I couldn't put the book down, but do not recommend it for those who are looking for a light read. -
Kashi GoLean Cereal

I have to admit that I am not a breakfast person, nor am I a cereal person. That said, I love this cereal! You can eat it with milk, as you would any other cereal, but my preferred way to eat it is to mix it with yogurt and fruit. I find the crunch very satisfying and the flavor not too sweet. The subtle hint of cinnamon gives the clusters flavor without being too overpowering. When I have this cereal for breakfast, I find that it fills me up and gives me great energy to start my day. -

I bought this DVD series a few years ago and have to say that while it isn't phenomenal, it is very useful. As a runner I find the cardio workout isn't enough, but the series of lunges and squats will get your legs in shape. The program advises daily use of the DVDs which I find a bit boring, but I would recommend you include the DVD as one part of a weekly workout schedule. -

I was immediately engrossed in Sara Gruen's novel about circus life in the 1930s. Her portrayal of the protagonist's (Jacob's) adventures after having run away to the circus, created a story that I could not stop reading. I found her description of the circus characters both engaging and funny. The combination of humor, intrigue and a little bit of romance made for an enjoyable reading experience. -

Having read the many magazine recommendations for this eyelash curler, I decided to give this one a try. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about paying so much for this curler, but it has been over five years and I have never looked back. The Shu Umera eyelash curler is the best tool I have in my makeup bag. Some days I just leave my house with curled lashes and a little lip gloss because the effects of the curler are dramatic enough. It gives my lashes (every single one of them) great curl and lift, without any pinching. I highly recommend this eyelash curler to anyone who wants great looking lashes. -

I have been using this mascara for years. Every time I try something else, I always return to Voluminous. This product does what it says and makes my lashes look amazingly full. The thick brush allows you to get at every lash. I have recommended this mascara to friends for years, and will continue to do so. -
