| I LOVE TO SHOP.... THERE I SAID IT....NOT YOUR NORMAL SHOPPING THAT MOST WOMEN DO.... CLOTHES....JEWELRY.....WHATEVER YOU LADIES BUY.... NO....I LOVE DO-DADS AND KITCHEN STUFF.... NEW PRODUCTS AND YES.........CARS..... I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS PRODUCT FOR YEARS NOW... BUT IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO REMIND YOU HOW TO KEEP WRINKLES AT BAY.... THIS IS THE PRODUCT YOU NEED TO BUY.... I HAVE BEEN USING THIS EVERY DAY FOR 20 YEARS.... KIEHL'S CHANGED IT UP SLIGHTLY RECENTLY BUT IT'S JUST AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL THEIR ULTRA FACIAL CREAM... IT'S NON GREASY AND THIS SIZE CONTAINER LASTS ME A WHOLE YEAR.... IT COSTS ABOUT $28.00 AND THEY DO SELL A SMALLER SIZE IF YOU WANTED TO TRY IT BEFORE BUYING THE LARGE SIZE... I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS STUFF... KIEHL'S WILL PUT YOU ON AN AUTO REPLENISHMENT PROGRAM....AT THE TIME FRAME YOU CHOOSE.... AND THE SHIPPING IS FREE.... I ORDER ONCE A YEAR... |

| I WAS LOOKING IN WALMART FOR THE NEW DOVE HAIR PLUMPER-UPPER... THAT'S NOT EXACTLY IT'S NAME BUT YOU GET THE IDEA.... IF YOUR HAIR IS THIN YOU SPRAY IT ON WHEN WET....RUB IT AROUND AND WHEN YOU DRY YOUR HAIR IT'S SUPPOSE TO GIVE IT GREAT BODY.... I BUY A SIMILAR PRODUCT AT THE HAIR SALON BUT IT'S PRICEY... I HAVE NOT FOUND THE DOVE ONE YET BUT I'M SURE IT'S A LOT CHEAPER.... WHILE LOOKING FOR IT I DISCOVERED THEY NOW SELL HAIR SPRAY.... OMG....FINALLY A HAIRSPRAY THAT SMELLS PLEASANT... IT'S BY DOVE CALLED "STYLE + CARE" IN EXTRA HOLD IN FACT IT SMELLS OUT RIGHT GOOD.... IT HAS VERY GOOD HOLD TOO.... AND IT'S CHEAP... I BELIEVE IT WAS UNDER $4.00 AT WALMART.... |
 |
| IF YOUR NOT LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A "BLISS SPA" IN YOUR STATE YOU CAN GO ONLINE TO WWW.BLISS.COM WHERE THEY SELL THIS DIVINE SOAP.... ANYTHING LEMON IS GREAT RIGHT... I'M SURE THE SOAP THEY SELL IS WAY BIGGER IN SIZE THEN THIS LITTLE BAR.... A FEW OF THESE HAPPEN TO JUMP IN TO MY LUGGAGE ON MY RECENT TRIP TO CALIFORNIA... HEY....I HEARD THEM TALKING SAYING THEY WONDERED WHAT THINGS WERE LIKE ON THE EAST COAST.... BLISS SPA'S HAVE GREAT SERVICES IF YOU DO LIVE CLOSE TO ONE... I LOVE TO GO AND GET THE "COLD FEET" PEDICURE.... IT'S PRICEY AT $65 BUT IT'S AN HOUR IN HEAVEN.... WELL AT LEAST FOR YOUR FEET.... THEY ALSO DO MASSAGES AND FACIALS... |

ANOTHER THING THE BOSS FOUND FOR HIS FLEET OF CARS... IT CLEANED THE CAR WINDOWS SO GOOD THAT WE GAVE IT A SHOT ON THE HOUSE... IT'S GREAT.... NO STREAKING....NICE AND SHINY CLEAN.... AND THIS IS WHAT WE USE WITH IT... |

I HAVE OWNED ONE FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS NOW.... WHAT A CAR.... ALMOST EVERY PERSON IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD DRIVES A WHITE LEXUS S.U.V. WHEN WE PASS THESE PEOPLE COMING AND GOING WE NEVER KNOW IF WE'RE WAVING AT PEOPLE THAT LOVE US OR PEOPLE THAT HATE US.... WITH US IT'S MORE LIKELY TO BE THE LATTER.... EVERYBODY DRIVES A LEXUS.... IF A NEW S.U.V. IS IN YOUR FUTURE JUST GO TO A PORSCHE DEALER AND GIVE ONE A WHIRL.... MY GOSH...IT'S LIKE SITTING ON YOUR LIVING ROOM SOFA WITH WHEELS... THE MOST ELEGANT COMFORTABLE FAST (400 H.P) CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED... IT'S OF COURSE GERMAN MADE.... AND YOU KNOW WHAT VINCE OF THE "SHAM WOW" COMMERCIALS USED TO SAY....

You are a riot!
I want one of that last item too, but I think his heart is in Hawaii and I definitely don't live in Hawaii.
Thanks for all the tips - I like the sound of your face cream.
Great tips. I love Colavita products, very easy to find here. A friend in GA just got a Yeti. Never heard of them. Good to have in a power outage to keep frozen food in. Face cream sounds good, too. And a hairspray that actually smells good. Wow. I do enjoy a trip to Wal-Mart. Yhey are not allowed to open in NYC, because our city government is run by idiots, so I go over the bridge to NJ. The ones in PA are even better.
I think one of these days I want to follow you on one of your trips to Walmart! You crack me up!!! What a fun list of recommended "Favorite things"!
Love your review...and maybe you should ask daughter for a B-day trip to see and meet Mr. Tom Selleck, but don't wait 20 years.
I love your writing and your review - I have to go back now and take notes. I have used that cream but body cream and it is orange - this one is just for the face - good stuff. I just went to sprouts Sunday, I love that store too. You can get that hairspray at the Drug Store on line. The cups I sent a note to my niece she was just looking for one yesterday. Funny. So hope you have a good day - going to write some products down. Oh yes and I like old Tom too.
My dear friend, I will fight you for Tom! Only man I would want at this point in my life! Sigh...I wish there was a Sprouts here in Athens. I shopped at one near Ashleigh in Calif and LOVED it. I have wondered about Kiehl's and may have to try it. I'm a Cetaphil user for years. Fun post!!

Sue, as I was reading your review, I heard it in your voice in my head and was laughing out loud! Great ideas to try, maybe I'll get a Porsche SUV for Valentine's day! LOL, not likely! That's okay, I love my Town and Country Van! LOl
Rose Harrison
Love the name of this post! So funny! Oprah's not the only one with favorites. lol
I'm taking pics of some of your items so I don't forget them! There's a lot of the Porsche suvs around here and I've told hubby my navigator is larger than I now need. Good to know this suv is that comfortable, etc. But, then I probably couldn't have a Panamera or Mercedes. :( I'm a car person too! :) Son gets it honest. lol
I wonder if that cream would work with my combination skin and now I have rosacea? I'll check it out.
We have a Trader Joe's at the corner which we love. We also have a Fresh Market and Whole Foods around the corner and the only one we don't shop at is Whole Foods.
My son works at Hendrick's Cary Auto Mall as an Appraiser. I showed him your car and he loves it! There's a lot of Corvette lovers around here. Son wants a new ZO6...down the road. :)
Enjoy your day!
hugs,
Marie
