Bourne Ultimatum
December 30, 2007 | | TrackBacks

"He is SO cool!" I found myself saying this about Matt Damon's character, Jason Bourne throughout the third Bourne movie. And that's how the whole movie was...SO cool. If you liked the first two, you're going to love this one. In this movie, Bourne is being chased by authorities as they believe he has committed a crime while he is simply trying to find the truth about his beginnings as Jason Bourne.

The movie moves quickly and is filled with tons of actions. But it's not empty, violent filled action (if there is such). It's smart, it's inventive, it's unique and it's just SO COOL.

I don't want to spoil the details of the plot but it's definitely worth checking out and buying when it comes out on DVD!

Bed Head Superstar Leave-in Conditioner
December 21, 2007 | | TrackBacks

The summer has not been kind to my already fine (and I don't mean hot or pretty) hair. We put a pool in so my hair has been doused with chemicals almost daily. At my latest stop at the salon last week, my stylist immediately put on Bed Head's newest leave-in conditioner. She recommended using it every day for normal styling and also putting some in before I got in the pool to protect my hair from absorbing the pool chemicals. This stuff has been great. This is the newest hair product at the top of my list. It makes my hair soft and shiny without leaving it greasy in the least. It's easy as pie to spray in and in full Bed Head product fashion, it smells great!

V_BOT by The Learning Curve
December 11, 2007 | | TrackBacks

Now why couldn't I be a kid in this day and age?! Not only do I have before me a 15" tall and decently weighty transformer robot (reg $129) but this guy has the ability to truly transform into a fully functioning remote-controlled vehicle that even comes with an MP3 adapter to hook up and blast tunes off your mp3 player.

I really do like how with a push of a button on the remote control, the bot transforms very nicely into a nice decked out SUV looking vehicle. The bot in car mode actually has the ability to take off! Definitely able to give your small pet dog a good chasing around the house. Granted the turning radius isn't that great but for the size/functionality and attractive stylings of the product I can easily over look something as small as that.

Johnny (yes I gave it a name) has the ability to perform 100+ action moves.. they range from a nice karate chop type action to being able to dance while playing your mp3 tunes through it!. Its funny how with certain products you can just expect consumers to personalize them in some way.. I definitely think that this is one of those type of products. You'll probably start seeing lots of YouTube videos showing off how their V_Bot can rock out to certain popular tunes.

Make sure you are well equipped with rechargeable batteries and of course a battery charger. This big guy is going to keep everyone occupied and drooling over the million functions it can perform.

Important Note: Show V_Bot to anyone and they will want one! This has extreme appeal on multiple levels so be prepared to handle their demands.

Pavonia Skin Care

I’ve always looked much younger than my age, and I’ve enjoyed it tremendously. I was genetically lucky, since I did absolutely nothing special to stay that way.
Then I hit my 40s. I thought it was bad at 30 when I finally got hips, but this was worse. Adult acne, wrinkles, and stuff I think they call ‘crepe’ above my eyes. Creepy is more like it. Who wants to see their mother in the mirror?
I was not and never would be a dedicated product user, so I needed something that would work simply and quickly. I tried a lot of different products with no real results until I tried the Pavonia line. Crepe-ee eyelids were cured within days, I have very little acne, and the wrinkles have slowed down to a distinguished few. I can live with that.
I now use the caviar line that includes a cleanser, a cream, serum and lotion. The gift set of these costs about $350, so they’re not cheap, but they last.
And I’m still not a dedicated product user. Although I use the cleanser every day sometimes I skip the rest.
I wonder what I’d look like if I was actually a girly-girl?

Presto -- HP Mailbox Printing System

Imagine this. Someone you care about is not connected to the internet. Hard to imagine, but they’re still out there. It could be a parent or grandparent, a brother or sister, a favorite cousin, or even someone's sick child. You call this person every week or maybe even every day. You can’t see them in person as much as you’d like, and you know they’re lonely and feeling left out. You also own a digital camera, but they can’t or just don’t have the ability to have an internet connection or a computer to make messages and pictures easy to share.

Set up a Presto for them and they can receive a daily email from you to brighten their day, without an internet connection. Attach a picture of you waving hello, or of any important event they have to miss. Then when you call it makes talking about the day or event even more special.

For about $100 - $130 you can buy the Presto. It’s basically an easy-to-use printer that receives email up to five different times a day, at times that you control. You set up the account online, set the preferences, and set up payment for the service at a cost of only about $10 a month. Plug in the Presto, plug their phone line to it, and it’s ready to go. Paper and ink are included and can be monitored on-line. Both are easy to replace when needed. No need to worry about spam, either, since you have to specifically set people up to allow them to send to the account. Information cards are also provided that contain access numbers. Your loved one can hand them out to other friends/family members to set themselves up, so they don’t have to wait for you to do it for them.

Go to www.Presto.com and check it out. As a Hospice volunteer I made friends with a lovely lady whose husband had passed away while under Hospice care. Her grown children and grandchildren were connected to the internet, but this lady had no way to receive emails, and no way to set up an internet connection. I hooked her up with one of these and it’s been working great for three months. I’ve yet to have to change the ink. I was also able to set her up to receive ‘Newsstand’ items such as a weekly article from Andy Rooney and daily gossip article from Liz Smith.

Presto – it was just that easy.
