Product Review - Aveeno Positively Ageless

I can't really say a whole lot about this because I don't have a lot of wrinkles and aging skin YET, but I'm using it now so I DON'T get the wrinkles and aging skin!! Aveeno is made with natural ingredients like wheat protein and shiitake mushrooms, and those of you who know me know that's the only way a mushroom will get anywhere near my body, is pureed into some type of cream and smeared onto my skin! Seriously, it's supposed to be good for your skin!

I do use several of the other Aveeno products, and have liked all of them, and this one has the most wonderful smell. I can tell it has a firming effect, I just can't judge on wrinkles, but hey, I'm certainly not complaining about that!

If you're in the market for some new night cream, I recommend the Aveeno, it's probably cheaper than what you're using now, and more than likely works better (and I would be willing to bet smells a LOT better!!)

Weigh in

I haven't done a weigh in for a while now, but at my last I was down almost 20 pounds, so I'm stoked!! I got my Wii Fit hooked up and have been using it, so I'm really hoping at my next weigh in I'll be down even more. I've been going slowly down about 3 pounds a month which isn't a lot, but slow and steady wins the race, right?

Product Review - Ziplock Twist 'N Loc Containers

These containers ROCK! I try to make lunch for Big Daddy everyday, it doesn't happen EVERY day, but as often as possible, I will pack him a lunch of leftovers. If I don't, he will go out to eat, and he can't just make a run through a fast food place. His idea of lunch is a sit-down at Salt Lick or Cannoli Joe's! So his lunch will end up costing us anywhere from $10-15 bucks at a time. Add that up over the course of a few weeks, and you have a good college fund going there. So, I try to make him a lunch every day, saves some money, and most of the time, it's a little healthier than what he could get at a restaurant.

But that means I have a never ending supply of disposable containers. I have bottoms with no matching tops, tops with no matching bottoms, and why do I hold on to these? It's like one day I will open the cabinet and they will mysteriously appear out of thin air? I think it's safe to toss the lonely pieces away at this point, but still, I hold on to them. But, I was sent a set of these wonderful Ziploc Containers from BzzAgent, and since then, I've made chicken and dumplings, spaghetti with sauce, tortellini, chili, and beans, and have used these containers to hold it all! They hold it all great with not a spill! They have worked out great on the commute to work and back home again, and they microwave great, and best of all, the lids are different, so I know which one to grab!

I'm saving money by using these, and saving the environment by using reusable containers, and not paper plates. They will also come in handy on those days when the school wants kids to have a "trash free lunch". I just love Ziploc Twist 'N Loc!
