This is an excellent 2-in-1 product. It is light, yet conditions the hair. As would be expected from Herbal Essences, it smells divine. This one has just the right touch of coconut -- you don't smell like a pina colada, just a hint. And that hint can be detected after the hair has dried. -
Coventry by Helen Humphreys
This is a wonderful book. At under 200 pages, it is almost a novella, but it is utterly engaging. It speaks to the horror of war, but also the strength of friendship between women. I did not want it to end, but had to keep reading.

Softlips® PURE Natural Lip Balm - Bergamot
I was one of the lucky ones who won the Softlips package. Thank-you Chickies. I really like the look and the lipstick-style, rather than the normal tube with a flat end that most lip balms have. It is nice to hold. Nice that it is all natural... +
I was one of the lucky ones who won the Softlips package. Thank-you Chickies.
I really like the look and the lipstick-style, rather than the normal tube with a flat end that most lip balms have. It is nice to hold. Nice that it is all natural. It goes on smooth and is soft on the lips, unlike some lip balms. It appears to moisturize and stays on for an extended time.
When I read about the Bergamot fragrance, I was surprised and did not expect to like it (think Earl Grey tea). I loved the fragrance. Unlike the citrus, the Bergamot is long-lasting and quite delightful.
Unfortunately, it does not really moisturize, it creates a barrier, but my lips remained dry. The Bergamot seemed slightly better in this respect than the citrus and fragrance-free versions.
One small quibble: no spf. It is too bad that it does not moisturize as well as it could because this product has much in its favour.
I would buy this as I truly liked the fragrance, but I would not use it outside in the summer (spf), or when my lips are feeling dry. Still, I like the feel of the tube, the feel of the balm on my lips, the lipstick-style, and the fragrance, so I would purchase it.
Thanks again.

I really like the look and the lipstick-style, rather than the normal tube with a flat end that most lip balms have. It is nice to hold. You can actually smell the beeswax when you open it. Nice that it is all natural. It goes on smooth and is soft on the lips (not like some of the hard ones). It appears to moisturize and stays on for an extended time. Unfortunately, it does not really moisturize, it creates a barrier, but my lips remained dry. One small quibble: no spf.

It goes on smooth and is soft on the lips (not like some of the hard ones). I liked the smell when I first applied it. I was looking forward to this fragrance as I am fond of citrus smells. Unfortunately, the fragrance does not last as long as the lip balm. Too bad because it was a great smell. It appears to moisturize and stays on for an extended time. Unfortunately, it does not really moisturize, it creates a barrier, but my lips remained dry. One small quibble: no spf.

Glysomed Hand Cream
This is very effective. One of the ingredients is silicone and, as a result, it feels a bit thick & almost gooey. Still, if you are looking to repair dry skin, this one does the job very well.

Bio-Oil
I was surprised that bio-oil works. It was recommended by a friend (whose doctor had recommended). It definitely reduces the appearance of fine lines and spots. Note that you do need to use it twice daily. You use such a small amount each time... +

Il Gelatiere Artiganale
The gelato is wonderful. The decor & ambiance welcoming. The staff friendly. Did I mention that the gelato is wonderful. My fave is the grapefruit. Sample are abundant also. Perfect for an after-movie snack.
