We’ve researched all types of bark-collars and sprays in the past, and none of them seemed to be effective or trained by causing pain a BIG No-No in my eyes. The BarkOff works by emitting silent ultrasonic waves that are only audible to animals. It effectively focuses the dog on the sound and it distract the dog from barking too much. It’s not supposed to be painful.

Then we saw this on the local news channel here in Buffalo and that clinched it.

It costs $10 plus S&H and you get 2 little BarkOff devices. It comes with a wall mount, and all it needs to work is a 9 volt battery (not included). You can put the second one in your pocket when your outdoors with your dog, they are not that big.

It arrived in just under 2 weeks and I am trying it out. It is touted as being safe, painless, environmentally friendly, and easy to use. That sounds good to me-if it works.. I hung the wall mount by the door and I will let you know in a week! Let me know if BarkOff worked for you.

So I’ve seen and heard a lot about the “Shake Weight”, some serious, some spoofs, and I decided to finally try it out. This product is definitely different and unlike anything I’ve ever seen or used. Although I am always interested in new, unique ways to work out and tone up, I am usually kind of skeptical as to the effectiveness of workout equipment infomercials. They always have a way of making people look stronger and more fit than realistically possible. But it looks like fun, and it is cheap ($19.95 +S&H), and its literally risk free! It comes with a full moneyback guarantee-they even offer to pay your return shipping if you’re not happy! So I figured I’d give it a shot:

The phone system is automated; however it was still informative and simple enough to be effective. I ordered the Shake Weight and it arrived in just five days, which is pretty quick in comparison to many other things I’ve purchased off TV. Along with it I received the Free Upper Body Toning Workout DVD (which they claim is worth $15) as well as the 30 day money-back guarantee. The Shake Weight is sturdy and seems to be made of quality materials, unlike some other infomercial workout systems. It is a little lighter than I expected (only 2.5 pounds) but it still looks to be a solid product. Although it’s short, the workout DVD is good, and it includes a full 6-minute workout routine that the Shake Weight is so famous for. I will now go try out my new Shake Weight and check back with you guys later with a review of my workout and results. If you’ve bought one or know someone who has, please leave a review! I’m always interested in other people’s infomercial experiences! See you later..

I’ve been looking for a hair straightener that will help with my wavy, frizzy hair for a few years now. I’ve tried many products, and while some did their job, many left my hair even more dry and damaged without even straightening out my waves all that well. When I’m in a rush in the mornings, the last thing I want to do is battle with my hair.

I saw the Instyler website while I was on the search for a new hair straightener, and decided to take them up on their 30 day trial. It was only 14.99, and I figured I really didn’t have anything to lose. I was immediately impressed. I wasn’t sure about the rounded barrel, but it allows me to add some body to my hair, and really lets me play with a variety of different styles. I could simply straighten out my hair, add some flip to the ends or even do some slight curl all with one product. It was a huge time savers and made my stressful mornings that much easier. No more battling with my hair for forty five minutes every morning. It’s quick and easy to use, even when I’m in a rush.

Because of my frizzy hair, I have to use heated styling products daily. Generally, this causes a lot of damage and split ends, and often leaves my hair looking worse than when I started. However, even after using the Instyler on a daily basis, my hair is frizz-free and my hair looks so much healthier. I’ve been able to keep up the shine of my hair without the Instyler drying it out and leaving it dull.

The one thing that I did notice is that it doesn’t have the variety of heat settings that some hair straighteners have, but it really hasn’t been a problem. The Instyler works so well that I haven’t felt the need to be messing with heat settings constantly like I had to do with my previous straighteners.

I would highly recommend this product to anyone with any hair type. Wavy, curly, frizzy – I’ve seen it work for all of them.

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.

For now, click here to visit the official Potty Patch website.

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.

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!

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.

Millions of people are discovering that they don’t have to starve themselves or worse, eat food that taste bad all in the hope of losing those unwanted extra pounds.

Developed by weight loss lecturer and guru Robert Ferguson, the Food Lovers Fat Loss system is built around the concept that if we simply cut out the bad food, eat the right food and exercise, we will lose weight. While not a new or unique concept, for some reason the human tendency is to do the opposite. We like to eat the bad stuff, we don’t eat enough of the good stuff and generally speaking, we loath working out.

When we finally get to the breaking point on the scale, we are conditioned to think there are only two ways to rid ourselves of the unwanted weight. We can 1)eat less food all the way around and be constantly hungry, or 2)eat the kind of the kinds of food we don’t like. Either way, we are depriving ourselves of those foods we love.

Ferguson’s system basically teaches us that there is a simple method that allows us to eat what we love and still lose those extra pounds.

At the core of this system is continual reinforcement. The kit comes with various tools that help the user be accountable and feel successful all the while enjoying positive choices in how they eat and work out.

Common sense tells us that to lose weight, we probably can’t eat three cheese burgers with fries and a super sized soft drink while laying on the couch watching television everyday. But if we are willing to do our part in terms of exercise, we still can enjoy a burger with perhaps a salad and a diet drink. Is that so bad?

Studies have shown that people are allowed to keep some of what they enjoy, they are more likely to remain on their diets and see positive results. If all a person is allowed is vegetables and water, chances are excellent he or she will decide they would rather be fat and enjoy their food.

Long term weight loss is attributed to changing our behavior. The Food Lovers Fat Loss System helps accomplish this with tools to keep the dieter accountable and feeling successful, all while still eating the food he or she loves.

The pros of using this program are that it is relatively affordable, easy to use and effective if done right.
The cons may be that because dieters are able to keep eating what they want, they may not lose weight if they do not follow through on the exercise end of the program.

Aren’t we are all looking for the next best thing when it comes to hair care? Something new, that will give us luxurious, movie star hair, without breaking the bank? Good news. It looks like we’ve found it.

The Wen Hair Care System is not your ordinary shampoo and conditioner routine. It is a completely new way to cleanse and condition your hair, specifically designed to clean your hair without stripping away the natural oils it needs to stay healthy and shiny.

Pros:
The Wen Hair Care System is easy to use. Just use it the same way as you would an everyday shampoo, but don’t expect to get any lather. Wen utilizes a completely detergent free approach to cleansing the hair that is actually beneficial to the scalp and healthy hair growth, by stimulating blood circulation and hair follicles. This product leaves your hair soft, manageable and strong enough to withstand today’s demanding heat styling processes without excessive damage. There is also a risk free 60-day money back guarantee.

Cons: Price. While the Wen Hair Care System is not prohibitively expensive at $29.95 per month, it is definitely more costly than going to a local drug store for shampoo. Also, it is not currently sold in stores, so you have to make sure that you order in enough time so you don’t run out before your new order arrives.

Cost: $29.95 (plus shipping and handling) will buy your first thirty day’s supply of Wen, which includes 1-12 oz bottle of cleansing conditioner, 1-2 oz. Container of styling crème, 1-2 oz. Bottle of Re Moist Intensive Hair Repair Mask, and 2 free bonuses, a 10 g. container of texture balm and 1 wide tooth shower comb.

Simply put, there’s just not another product on the market like it. The Wen Hair Care System provides a single step process to cleanse and condition simultaneously, while maintaining the natural integrity of your hair. The ingredients are all-natural and contain no harsh cleansing agents that will damage the hair. It’s a completely new, and better way to look at hair care.
