Omron HJ-150 Hip Pedometer

My pedometer worked fine for two weeks, and then stopped. The clock works, I’ve reset it, but for two days it did not reliably register steps. Now it doesn’t register at all.

Omron will “fix” it for me, but the cost of shipping it to them and the return (they make you pay for it) is the same as the cost of a new unit.

Reading the reviews it seems some people love their units, but that this failure isn’t unique.

Odwalla Nourishing Food Bar, Banana Nut

This truly is my favorite bar-I would not call myself an health expert. I was looking for a tasty bar that was not loaded with sugar and completely portable for the in between places snack! I also know I am not a banana fan-but the combination of flavors reminds me of banana bread. I admit not as good as real warm banana bread with a pat of butter on it! But, the texture is perfect for me-I don’t like granola bars for overly crunchy, messy part. The flavors are well balanced and they are easy to open, pop in your mouth while you hustle off to the next thing. I totally appreciate that. It is sustainable boost that can get you to that next meal without losing energy or your shining attitude.

Phoenix 99605 Upright Magnetic Exercise Bike

We have had this excercise bike for over six months and have had no problems at all. It is lightweight, so it is easy to move around the living room. It is also almost completely silent which makes it easy to watch tv at the same time. I am now purchasing one for my mom, too.

Panasonic ER421KC Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer, Wet/Dry, Lighted

I bought one of those $19.95 Chinese nose and ear trimmers that were advertised on TV for a long time, the one guaranteed not to cut or hurt. It took weeks to arrive and last about 6 months. Then I bought one of these.

This model is far more substantial with a good engine and nice cutting surface. Panasonic won’t guarantee you won’t have an unpleasant cut or two (especially in the nose) but it works well and is not bad in the pain department. Does a very nice job on ears, too.

I haven’t used this thing “wet” yet and really can’t imagine doing so. So far this has done the job and has been everything it was advertised to be.

Neutrogena Night Cream, Anti-Oxidant Age Reverse, 1.7 Fluid Ounces

I have to admit that I didn’t purchase this item from Amazon but felt compelled to leave a review so that others will know how great this product is. I am 42 years old and have become obsessed with beginning to pay close attention to the products that will tighten my skin and this product does that. I noticed an improvement after the first use. Great product for tightening and rejuvenation of the face.
