As a single female, I always hated hauling my old vacuum up and down the stairs. I bought this Shark Navigator vacuum recently and I have been extremely happy with the results. It is lightweight and I have no issues moving it around the house. And just as importantly, it is somehow more powerful than my old vacuum. I love the pet hair attachment – I have two dogs and this is perfect for picking up hair off my couch and chairs. I also love the cord length and I can just about get a whole level of cleaning without having to unplug the vacuum. Looking back, with my old vacuum I never noticed how annoying it was to keep plugging and unplugging the vacuum as I cleaned, but now I don’t think I could live without the longer cord. For that matter, I don’t think I could live with lugging around a heavy old vacuum cleaner again. The Shark Navigator is an excellent product at a fair price and so far in the four months I’ve had it, it has not lost any of its incredible suction power.

When I saw the infomercial for the Shark Steam Pocket mop a was a little skeptical, but I figured for $120 (four payments of $29.99) it was worth a try. If it did end up working I’d be able to clean my floors without any chemicals and in much less time. I’m glad I gave it a try.

It took about two weeks for the Shark Steam Pocket to arrive and it was very easy to set up. I simply filled it up with regular tap water, plugged it in and waited 30 seconds for it to heat up and was ready to go.

Mopping with the Shark Steam Pocket is as easy as slicing warm cake. It glides easily using a natural back and forth motion, and the steam removes all the dirt in its path. From my experience, the Shark Steam Pocket does an amazing job and can handle everything. My kids and I go to the beach often and there is always sand left in the hallway and the Shark Steam Pocket is a breeze to clean it up. It can also handle big messes with the same ease as little ones with the only difference being I use a few extra pumps of steam from the handle for big jobs. It is really easy to wash the pads – just throw them in the wash and allow them to hang dry – and I really love the fact that the cord is 30 feet long! The only negative I’ve had with the Shark Steam Pocket is that occasionally it will leave streaks, but I have been able to solve this problem by cleaning really dirty / greasy areas with a paper towel before mopping.

I am very happy I ordered the Shark Steam Pocket Mop. It is an excellent product and has made my life a lot easier. I have recommended it to all my friends and plan to buy one for my Mom for her birthday.

I recently checked out the new Potty Patch indoor doggie bathroom. I’ve got to tell you that I was very impressed with the creativity and attention to detail that this product.

The Potty Patch is basically a special litter box designed for dogs. It’s three tier system includes a top level that looks and feels like real grass so your best friend is comfortable “making” inside when you’re not able to take him out.

Sorry I can’t finish telling you all about this excellent product now, but I’ll return to finish this review soon.

OK, so here’s my UPDATE (Sept. 23, 2009)

Potty Patch made my impossible pet into a clean freak

Do you spend too much time cleaning up after your pet because it needed to go out but couldn’t? You may have every intention of returning earlier, but if something comes up and you can’t get away, it might not be able to wait until you arrive home. When that happens there is another mess to clean up – if you can find it. Some pets are embarrassed about the situation and use a hidden spot for a potty, so it could be days before it is discovered, making the clean up even more difficult. The resulting unsanitary condition in your home could be a health concern for your family. Eliminate that problem by purchasing the Potty Patch and your pet will become a happy and contented clean freak. Your pet will be more comfortable, and you will find life much less stressful, since you won’t need to be so concerned if it is sometimes inconvenient to come home in time to take it outside.

Using the Potty Patch in the winter is the only way

When snow is blowing and it’s freezing outside, wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t always have to take your pet out? Some pets don’t like cold weather any more than you do and would really rather stay inside if they could. There is a better and more comfortable solution to the predicament. Using a Potty Patch is an easy and inexpensive way to avoid the necessity of going out with your pet in cold or icy weather. Just imagine how much more pleasant your winter will be if you don’t have to bundle up in coat, hat, boots and gloves to take your pet out unless you want to. After purchasing the Potty Patch, you and your pet will both think you were very wise to find the perfect answer to a chilly problem.

How the Potty Patch works

The first layer of Potty Patch is soft imitation grass that lets liquid run through it to a tray which can hold up to a gallon of fluid. Separating the tray and grass is a grate that holds the top layer and keeps it dry. It is simple to clean by rinsing with soapy water. Because the tray has a large capacity, it can be used several times before it needs to be emptied. This product also works well for training puppies. You will find the Potty Patch a real value for the money, only $39.95 plus shipping and handling for the regular size. There are many advantages to this amazing product:

· Two sizes available – the regular measures 17” x 27” and the large is 27” x 34”
· Cleans easily with soapy water
· Large capacity tray can be used several times before emptying
· Convenient for your pet to use when you can’t be there
· Great for use when weather is bad
· Helps keep your home more sanitary
· Wonderful for training puppies

When you can find a simple solution to create less stress for both you and your pet it is really priceless. You will be so happy with Potty Patch that you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.

Want to eliminate your double chin in just a few short weeks?

Start looking and feeling beautiful again by firming your neckline, smoothing your skin and eliminating your wrinkles… And make your friends take notice and your husband pay attention to you like he did when you first met.

Millions of American women feel self-conscious about their appearance because their necklines are not as firm and smooth as they once were. Sadly, many of these women are embarrassed by the way they look and it affects their overall sense of happiness and self-worth. Many of these women often wear turtlenecks and high collar blouses in an attempt to hide their sagging neckline.

I’m wondering if most middle age women are even aware of how many times a day they feel embarrassed by their drooping neckline. Living for years with an unattractive neckline causes many women to believe that they can never feel pretty again. Fortunately, there’s no reason to continue worrying about your appearance because, with just a little bit of effort, you can quickly get back the firm and smooth neckline you had when you were younger.

It’s an unfortunate reality that in our society many women are judged by their appearance. Looking young is perceived as attractive and looking older is considered undesirable. When women start to develop a little bit of excess skin under their chin they often feel that they are no longer attractive to society or to their spouses. This perception of no longer feeling attractive quickly starts to affect their self-confidence and takes a heavy emotional toll.However, there is no reason that these women need to accept their sagging necklines as an inevitable curse. No doubt, by now you’ve heard about the Neckline Slimmer. This amazing new exercise devise will quickly reverse the sign of your aging without cosmetic surgery.

Lots of women fantasize about getting rid of their double chin, but very few actually do anything about it. I’m wondering if these women realize how easily they can start to feel beautiful again with just a little bit of effort. If you cared about your appearance, you wouldn’t sit there idly ignoring the simple solutions that are available to you. If you wanted your husband to look at you again the way that he did when you first met, you would be willing to invest a little bit of effort to get rid of your flabby neck skin forever. Once you try the Neckline Slimmer for the first time, you’ll start realize how this little machine can really change your life forever.

There is no longer any excuse why any woman should have to suffer with the thoughts of insecurity that are caused by her undesirable neckline.  When you use the Neckline Slimmer for only a few minutes a day, you will soon start to notice that your skin feels smoother and your wrinkles are disappearing. That’s because the Neckline Slimmer firms and lifts the underlying muscles that support the skin.

There really doesn’t seem to be any good excuse why someone shouldn’t try the Neckline Slimmer, unless they like having people stare at their double chin all the time (after all, they do offer a 30 day money back guarantee).

As you listen to these amazing results, you might be starting to think about all the ways that having a slimmer, firmer neck can improve your life and your emotional happiness.

Stop for a moment and fast forward three months into the future… your sagging neckline is history and you are enjoying a new life filled with the knowledge that you look beautiful again. Your husband is paying more attention to you again and you are excited to go out with people and have a good time.

I’m wondering how quickly the Neckline Slimmer will work for you. And I suspect that when you start to see the amazing results that you achieve you’ll wish that you had decide to buy the Neckline Slimmer much sooner.

When we women get older, it becomes more important for us to take care of our necks. Unfortunately, no matter what we do, it seems like our necks get droopier and droopier. I was amazed when I saw that the Neckline Slimmer can give you a slimmer, tighter neck in just two weeks!

The neckline slimming device is small and totally painless. Can you imagine getting rid of the flabby area under your chin without surgery or painful exercises? This device works as a resistance exercise for your neck, except it’s completely pain-free. The package comes with three different levels of resistance as your neck becomes firmer and tighter. They’re even offering a European slimming cream to go along with the neckline slimming device!

Those neckfolds that so many of us women get are so unattractive, and it’s easy to want to hide our necklines with turtlenecks and high-neck blouses. It’s amazing that in just two weeks, someone who was ashamed of their neck before could conceivably be wearing a tank top!

The before and after pictures are incredible. Several women in their late 30s and 40 submitted their “before” pictures with those necks and chins we are all-too-familiar with: double chins, saggy necks and hanging folds of skin. The “after” pictures amazingly show these same women — who haven’t lost any major weight or gone on diets — with firm, tight, younger looking necks!

Besides the free European slimming cream, the company is also offering a luxury carrying bag and a DVD that explains the exact exercises you need to do to get results like the women on the site do. The clip looks super easy and even fun, something that you can do while you’re watching TV and reading book. I can’t believe they’re selling it for only $19.99! I personally know women who would pay hundreds of dollars for an item like this. And there are women out there who pay thousands of dollars for plastic surgery that gives the exact same results.

It looks like the company knows how incredible their offer is, because this special price is only available temporarily, and it’s not sold in stores. I’m sure when it is, the prices will be raised considerably. I’m going to tell all my girlfriends about this spectacular offer while it still lasts. I’m sure there are even men who will love the Neckline Slimmer as well!

The Xpress Redi Set Go is a little cooker that packs a lot of punch.  I had seen the infomercial with Cathy Mitchell a few times, but I was hesitant to order because it was hard for me to believe that I would be able to use the grill as smoothly as Cathy.  Boy was I wrong.  The reason it looks so effortless to use is because it is.

I ordered the Xpress Redi Set Go on a Saturday (with express shipping) and received my unit on Thursday morning.  When I opened the box I was pleasantly surprised to see not only the cooker, but FIVE cookbooks which I had no idea I was getting.  The cookbooks are cute and colorful and the instructions are simple and organized – they even go so far as tell you which meals will cost less than $1 per serving, which cook in 7 minutes or less (which in my experience ends up being most meals) and which have less than 100 calories per serving (great for my weight watchers program).

Also included was a spatula (which has been very handy when I need to clean out pancake batter and the likes), a divider pan, and a round divider pan with 6 trays called the “mini-food pan” which can be used for things such as muffins and eggs.

Setting up and using the cooker was as simple as plugging it in.  I couldn’t wait to try it out.  Be careful when you turn it on because they are not kidding when they say it heats up fast! I put in the mini-food tray and turned the unit on and I thought I’d give it a few minutes to heat up while I prepare my omelet ingredients but before I was done cutting my peppers I could tell the cooker was ready to go.  When I poured the eggs in, they started sizzling as soon as I put them in.  The recipe called for 10 minutes, but they were done in about 7 and they were really delicious.  I put peppers, cheese and salsa (my own addition to the recipe) inside the omelets and they came out better than ever!  They were cooked just right, where the peppers were not hard or mushy, but the cheese was melted and the salsa was warm and delicious.  And best of all, they looked perfect.  Since that first time I have used the Redi Set Go many times and the only complaint I have is that I wish I had bought two.  When my sister brings her kids over I could really use the second unit to cook for all the kids.  But as far a cooking, cleaning and storing the Xpress Redi Set Go, I couldn’t be happier.  I’d give it 5/5 stars.
