first i have to say they presented the lotion to us in a lovely gift box so thank you :)
i only had to apply a drop of the lotion and it worked wonders my hands and arms felt so silky smooth,
it makes your skin feel like a baby, the only thing i have to say that i really didnt like was the scent....
even though i put just a drop on, the scent that lingered on me was aweful it was as if i walked into the perfume section of the mall and got sprayed by 10 different ladies all at once, if you dont like smelling like a perfume bottle or are very sensitive to perfumes and scents then i would wait to see if they come up with an unscented version or at least one that is more natural than perfumey, but i do have admit it makes your skin feel amazing..... but please vaseline come up with a different scent or unscented version
as well for those who are sensitive.

for glucerna nutrician shakes they work to help level your sugar levels and keep you feeling full untill your next meal the shakes come in a variety of flavors...250-mL cans; 12/case: in
Vanilla
Chocolate

my pick for a flavor is chocolate these shakes actually do taste great ive tried some others meant for diabetics and they tasted horrible glucerna actually tastes like your drinking a chocolate milkshake or pudding, the price is a bit hefty at $25 for a case of 12 but it does wonders to keep your levels and health just right here are some specs..
Glucerna is a great-tasting, convenient meal replacement or snack for people with diabetes. Below is a list of features of Glucerna when used as part of a healthy lifestyle that includes diet, exercise, and medical treatment (if applicable).
Features
Great taste
Convenient presentations
Slow-release carbohydrate system
Low-SFA, high-MUFA* formulation
Complete, balanced nutrition
Gluten- and lactose-free
Low-glycemic index: 26 ( Glycemic Index tool)
Key to Glucerna products is their unique blends of slowly digested carbohydrates. "Slowly digested" means that sugar is not immediately broken down and absorbed into the blood, which helps avoid peaks in blood sugar. Consistently maintaining optimal blood sugar levels over time can help reduce the complications of diabetes.
Contains 26 essential vitamins and minerals
Kosher
Fat blend
Supplemented with 1.9 g of fiber and 1.13 g of FOS‡ in each 250 mL serving
Glucerna contains a modified fat blend high in monounsaturated fat. The Canadian Diabetes Association recommends consuming monounsaturated fat instead of saturated fats more often.1
How does Glucerna work?
Diabetes is a disease in which the body is not able to use nutrients normally. This results in high levels of glucose in the blood, which can damage tissues and cells. To control glucose levels, people with diabetes must usually follow a healthy diet (among other management techniques), but it's not always easy.
Clinical studies show that the slowly digested carbohydrate system in Glucerna provides more consistent blood glucose levels when compared to a standard medical nutritional liquid.2 The fat blend (high MUFA, low SFA)* is consistent with dietary recommendations. The complete range of vitamins and minerals supports overall good health. And Glucerna Nutritional Drink is available in a range of flavors for a convenient meal replacement or snack.
How is Glucerna different from other products?
Glucerna provides a unique, slowly digested carbohydrate system specially designed for people with diabetes. Its effectiveness in providing more consistent blood glucose levels when compared to a standard medical nutritional liquid2 has been demonstrated in clinical studies. The macro nutrient profile (carbohydrate, fat, and protein) in Glucerna is consistent with dietary recommendations. It contains a high-MUFA, low-SFA* fat blend. And the convenient choice of liquid in a range of flavors supports compliance with a healthy diet.

so my hp called it quits on me and i had to replace it very fast as i`m working on a contract that requires music composition as well as making a website and producing a video ,so of course i needed a top notch laptop to get all of the above done
afetr checking out MANY laptops and testing them out i decided on the toshiba saellite not only was it attractive but it works fast for all that i need to do, the screen is a great size the colors are just amazing the touchpad barely requires you to touch it and the cursor just glides, and the big bonus was i have harmon kardon speakers that look like they should be in a car and they sound great :) my last laptop was navy blue and matte in color , the toshiba is black and high gloss and is just stunning although it can be a pain to clean because of all the fingerprint marks but its a small price to pay for a classy look that even my customers compliment me on, would i recommend it for sure i would but be prepared for the heavty price tag that came with it, for me the only downfall was working with windows vista 64 bit because products out there are still not compatible with the 64 bit as of yet not to mention none of my software or music programs worked with it so i had to change everything,

i was actually pretty impressed with these i love that they are not scented and they dont irritate me in any way and they stay in place thank goodness lol my only quam with it is i do get a very heavy flow and was not able to wear these overnight so what i had to do is wear these when my period is almost finishing instead of during the heavy flow because i had to keep changing them too often but everyone`s flow is different would i recommend these yup for sure i think everyone should at least try them once -

its funny the same day i got these in the mail i just started my perion so what can i say... great
i liked how flexible they are but of course you would only where these in the begining stage of your period when you are spotting :) i also liked that they were unscented i find these days everything is coming with this potent scent on them and even a doctor would tell you nothing perfumey is good ...down there..lol
i also loved the fact that they were wrap around and not just wing because i can actually say they stayed in place would i reccomend these... yes a little pack goes a long way.

this is the second of the flavors that i have tried and i have to say it wasnt bad
it did taste like cream cheese mixed with coco but after awhile the flavor of the cheescake gets a little drowned out and its just like your eating chocolate and vanilla ice cream, but it was light and creamy not sickening like some can get, if it had more of a cream cheese taste it would have been a perfect 10 for me

i was so excited to try this as i love anything banana, at first scoop you can tell its very very creamy
it tasted like it was suppose too the pie part was interesting it tasted like a mixture of graham cracker and brown sugar i did find it to be a little too grainy especialy when you got a big chunk of it in your mouth,
the ice cream was very fluffy but it was more heavy on the cream side than banana which dissapointed me a little as i was looking forward to the banana part of it all would i reccomend it..... yes but if your expecting it to taste like banana then no.

i was very excited to get picked to try out maybellines new dream liquid mousse, there are alot of foubdations out there that promise to do alot of things but fall short of doing them, i`m usually very warry of trying foundations due to the fact that i have very sensitive skin as well as very fair skin that a foundation can come across as looking like a fake tan lol but i was pleasantly surprised with mabellines new line of foundation so here it goes :)
1. How it made my complexion look.. i was very pleased with the results as stated above some foundations can come across as making you look like you have a fake tan, not with maybelline, i actually got complimented on my face the first time wearing it and going out, i was pleased to see that even though it gave me a little more color it was the right color and it matched the rest of my skin tone.
2. How it affected the appearance of my pores... it actually did make them appear smaller and it also evened up my skin tone which is a plus, it cant completely diminish your pores but it does a great job at making appear smaller than they are.
3. How did i find the application? ... it was very easy, a little goes a long way whether you use your finger tip or a sponge what i really liked was it wasnt greasy and it dried almost as soon as you applied it.
4. How my skin felt with it on.... i was very light which is the best way to feel (nothing) when wearing a foundation it should feel natural and like you have nothing on your skin, i was also very pleased with how long the foundation lasted, from morning `til night untill i washed it off even in the extreme heat of the sun,
and being very active outdoors. there was no change in my skin, i would reccomend this to anyone even if you have fair sensitive skin :)
