Great drugstore lotion. Worked beautifully in making my legs super soft. I even applied it to only one leg for three days and my husband could tell which side I was using it on.
I wasn't crazy about the scent especially the scent that was left on my hands afteran application.
Great product otherwise!

Hmmmm.... stay at home mom. Check. Recently gave up job to stay at home with kids. Check. Wearing sweats because of laziness and excess baby spit up. Check. Checked my email, again . Check.....Wait a minute this book was written for me!!
Kathy Buckworth is a talented writer who has the ability to make this reader laugh out loud while reading. Kudos to her for being honest about the sometimes sad truth about being home with the kids.
Many moms would benefit from reading this sometimes cautionary tale of child-rearing. I can see how some people could be put off by her 'calls it as she sees it voice'. I found it refreshingly honest.
Thanks for the laugh!

So I was one of the lucky reviewers who got this book free through the Chick Club. Thanks guys!
In reading this book, I hoped for a fun, lighthearted read about female relationships. After finishing the book, it is safe to say that is exactly what I got out of this book.
I found the characters to be hit or miss in how I felt about them. While the overall character development was well done, many of the characters, like Maxi and Tom, seem stereotypical and boring. This never gave me much incentive to root for them or understand them. McCormack does score a homerun in developing a few characters like Rocks (as previously discussed) and Bess, the sweet girl, that of the two best friends, most us want to relate to.
I enjoyed reading the hilarious banter between Bess and Maxi. Mccormack uses a casual speech pattern peppered with four letter words perhaps to convey the girls' closeness and ease with each other. I did not feel the cursing added much and often it detracted from an otherwise great scene. The references to T.O. did not offend me, but since I am from Vancouver, I did not understand the significance of most of them.
While the book describes itself as a female breakup book, I have to agree with other reviewers that thought the breakup was not as toxic as I thought it was going to be. It seemed to be more of realization that the two girls were not true best or even good friends. I was disappointed that the book did not delve much into the aftermath of the breakup or the sadness that comes with losing someone you have invested time and love in.
Overall, I think this book works as a lighthearted look at love and relationships. I would recommend this book to anyone, who wants an easy read and likes great dialogue.

Yikes! I wish this product worked as well for me as it did the other users. IMO I found that while initially it worked well, after a week or two the mascara became really clumpy. When I put the mascara on, the voluminous effect was minimal. I also had to reapply the mascara through the day and I hate having to reapply!!! -

I love my MacBook! Apple applications are super easy to learn. The iPhoto , iDVD, and of course iTunes are intuitive and user friendly.
You can do more complicated applications on this laptop but I do find that when I use more complicated programs that the program takes longer than I would like.
