Top Choices

I have a few product recommendations to pass along, these items make my life just a little easier and happier every day. Nothing earth shattering here, just honest to goodness products that deliver.

The first, Dove deodorant. I happened upon this product while looking for something else, I didn't expect to like this as much as I do; maybe that's part of the charm. It is easy to find, inexpensive, and I just love the way the container feels in my hand! The product goes on smoothly, comfortably and cleanly (no white residue), it smells great and I really like the way the bottom of the container swivels and clicks to advance the product in the tube. I chose the grapefruit and lemongrass fragrance but there are others, as well as an unscented variety, to choose from.


This product is a little harder to find, at least it has been for me. Neutrogena Cracked Heel treatment. I swear by this stuff. My feet have never looked better. I enjoy wearing sandals and flip flops in warm weather and now I don't need to worry about my feet being presentable, they always are. I rub this into my soles and heels every morning after showering and it really, truly works to heal and moisturize even the driest and roughest feet. I do use it year round, every day. It has a light cocoa butter scent. A tube runs around 4$, and will last approximately six weeks. Search for this, when you find it, grab it. You won't be sorry. I promise.


I have used this hair product for the last ten years. It's L'anza Hair Repair Leave-in Protector. I have very fine hair and this will not weigh hair down at all. I shampoo and do not use any additional conditioner, I squeeze a small amount (dime size) of this product into my hands and rub it into my towel-dried hair. I comb it through and then dry my hair as usual. It leaves my hair smooth, shiny and clean feeling; never heavy. My hair is short, I don't use much; a tube of this will last me about six months and you will find it where salon products are sold for about $10, worth every penny!



And last, but not least, is our new AT&T Phone and Answering Machine. We found this phone system at Costco, it is expandable with handsets for all over your house. They are slim and lightweight, but not too light. They feel balanced in the hand, there's no antenna on the cordless handset and they slip easily into my pocket when I'm running around the house or using Sundance, a huge convenience! The best part is on the answering machine, there's an option for choosing an audible beep for alert to messages that have come in! Hooray! Our last answering machine had done away with that feature and I had to rely on a blinking light, which I missed more often than not. Beep at me, please!!

So there you go, my top picks for Summer 2009. It's those little things that make life better, products that work, something definitely worth passing along!

Life is Good!
