Personally I'm not sure what the big hype is with this product - yes, it is good for the environment and I guess it could work out cheaper if your cycle was heavy, saving you on buying tampons and/or pads but I have a lighter flow and I would buy about 4 boxes of tampons a year - at $6 bucks each and this cup is $39 - and although it seems a lot of people don't - it does say you need to replace it once a year or so or risk the plastic breaking down...
Anyway, it's big and awkward and you have to twist it to get it in properly - and if you don't, it leaks :(
Like I said I know it's good for the environment but I'll stick with tampons - or the softcups which are a lot easier to get in and disposable so the 'ick' factor is lower - plus you can have sex with the softcup in - no fuss, no muss :)

I am SO thrilled I was chosen to test this out from Chick Advisor!! I had been looking at these over the last few months in the drugstore but was hesitant to buy one because of the cost and the fact that other similar products I've tried haven't ended up working so great...
I LOVE the Amope! I had a few small slightly dry areas on my feet and one quite thick dry hardened area and after the first use 2 nights ago the small areas were gone and the hardened area was so much better! I did a second treatment last night on the tough area and now my feet are so smooth and nice.
I was in the drugstore with my friend today and pointed it out to her and told her it was a MUST BUY for keeping summer feet soft. She is probably going to buy one!

I got this product to try from ChickAdvisor. I was skeptical. I only have a few stretch marks - not even from pregnancy, from gaining weight a few yrs back and from growing boobs YEARS back! Mine are very light and not very noticeable but as I said before - old.
This cream moisturized my skin nicely and made it look and feel nice and I think I did actually see a bit of a difference in my stretch marks. it was a little hard to tell but if you have new or darker stretch marks I would recommend giving this one a try.

Nestlé Gerber Puffs Blueberry Vanilla Flavour

I actually don't buy these as often as I used to. The cheapest place to buy them was always Target and now that they are gone they are at least $1 more than they were anywhere else. Occasionally Walmart has them on sale so I get them then....otherwise I just refill my package with Nutri-O's for her.

I received this from ChickAdvisor to try out on my sensitive skin and I LOVED it! I have super fair skin which burns (never tans!) in less than 10 minutes unprotected so I ALWAYS have to wear sunscreen and my skin is also sensitive so it's rare I find one that doesn't break my skin out. I have been using this one for a week now and it feels nice, protects well, makes a decent base for my makeup and it DOESN'T BREAK MY SKIN OUT!! YAY! This is probably the cheapest sunscreen I have found that works well on my skin so I will be running out to buy more ASAP! -

I really like Menchies but have found them to have gotten quite pricey in the last few months! I used to pay $4 for what I typically get but the last 2 times I've gone it's been over $6! They do have a good rewards program AND they have special nights where you can get things cheaper so it's not bad.
I like how you can sample whatever you want, other places give you one and that's about it.

This is a nice serum! I've started using serums in the last few years and this is one of the nicer ones. Some seem to clog my pores but this one doesn't. I like wearing it under my makeup to perk my skin up in the morning.

I have been using this product along with the serum - both products I received from ChickAdvisor.
This is quite a nice cream and it does help to perk up my skin and make it look dewy and gives it some energy. It's quite pricey so I would have hesitated to buy it but I'm glad I'll be able to use it and may consider buying it again. It probably won't be heavy enough to use as my winter cream but since I like the benefits I may try alternating it or layering it with something a bit heavier - once my skin dries out a bit in the fall.

This review is mainly for the 2.0 version....
We have owned Keurig machines for a few years now and have overall been happy - until now. I have seen the articles posted about how the pods are clogging up the landfill and refused to be a part of adding to that so we happily bought a re-usable pod and my BF fills it every morning with a scoop of coffee and I generally just run through the hot water and then steep my tea. It's been working out great until...
Our last machine bit the dust and we got the 2.0 and it's a flashy machine so we were excited HOWEVER it doesn't accept re-usable pods (I have heard there's a way to get around this but we haven't tried it yet, nor is it the point of reviewing this machine which doesn't want to allow for it) AND when it just dispenses water it doesn't give you as many options as it does for when you add a pod - which is silly because I want the 8 or 10 oz options just as much when I make my tea - I usually have to run through the 6 oz option twice which wastes some time it shouldn't have to.
We are going to return this one and if we can get one similar to our last one which will take the re-usable pods and dispense enough hot water we will otherwise we will just be moving back to the kettle and regular coffee maker.
