Angie's List - One Target Buy that will pay off, every single time you use them

Even though it's hard to believe, there are thousands of consumers searching the web for service companies as a reliable and easy source to find the right contractor or service company to provide services inside and outside of the home every single day.

With the help of Angie's List, consumers can quickly find the service provider they need to make an emergency repair for their vehicles, complete a major home improvement project, a plumbing project, find a landscaper, a home decorator and even review petting sitters, and the list goes on and on...

Sometimes, even when you put a lot of effort into finding someone  on your own who will offer you the right price, a quality service, or is close by or offering special promotions, it is not uncommon to be left wondering what happened after you receive a lousy service experience due to limited information that you received when doing your original search.  
 
I can't tell you how many times in the past years, I have had to enlist the help of the Better Business Bureau or write a letter to upper management of a company in order to correct issues that evolved during a bad service experience. It can get very stressful, to have to correct  these bad experiences much less find someone to fix a new problem  that might arise or to hire someone for a service that you need,  if you have had some not so pleasant experiences out of fear of falling into the same bad experiences over and over.
 
Well, there is a very popular solution that not every one has had the chance to learn more about and I highly recommend you take a look at the possibility of forming a lifetime relationship with Angie's List.
 
Angie's List takes the guesswork out of finding good service companies by providing its members with thousands of unbiased ratings and reviews of their local service companies. Once you discover Angie's List, you'll be hooked. You will get reliable feedback before you hire or have someone repair your home or car. Angie's list is a service you can consider a must, especially if you are homeowner.  Save your self the agony and frustration of a bad experience and try them out!

You can think of Angie's List as AAA (Triple A) for your home, life and car, etc...  Would you want to know that the person or services you are going to pay your hard earned money for are going to be successful during execution and throughout until completion?

I myself have many services right now that would benefit from an Angie's list search.  I need a roofer, someone good with metal, a painter, a landscaper, and a qualified mechanic better than the dealer's service  centers, and I am sure as time goes on, I will need to look for more depending on my needs and desires.

With the help of Angie's List, I can now quickly find the service provider I need in a few minutes to make an emergency repair to the car, complete a major home improvement project, or even plan a vacation or take the best care of my pet, etc...

SONIC SCRUBBER - A Target Buy! - I love mine

The Sonic Scrubber can be used everywhere for practically everything, in fact, I believe the Sonic Scrubber actually promotes creative thinking regarding more things and places you can find to scrub. It is such a satisfying and enjoyable product to use.

As a matter of fact,  I used mine just today in several places. I cleaned my garage utility sink, I cleaned a spill in the grout of my tile floor in my bathroom, I cleaned three sink drains, around the toilet bowl caps, and the bottom edge of the toilet where it meets the floor, and I used it to scrub Murphy's oil soap into some wood molding for cleaning and polishing.  To give you a brief summary I have included a little more information about the Sonic Scrubber.

AutoParts123.com - They saved me $286.34 and no else could beat that savings!

Recently, I had a potentially costly expense on an automotive part that was beyond repair on my vehicle and needed to be replaced. The dealer price for this special order part was so astronomical, I almost became ill when I was first advised of the price and that didn't include installation or labor, I just couldn't see myself paying them what they were asking for.  I had heard many times that the dealers charge double or triple what the part actually cost them to purchase.  I was determined to do some research before committing to those ridiculous prices. 

I came across the AutoParts1,2,3 website, which by the way for a first time user is so easy to navigate and look up your vehicle.

First you search Vehicle manufacturer, then year and then model using pull down menus.  It is very quick and easy.   Once you are there viewing your automotive parts for your vehicle,  the categories are easy to follow to find your auto parts.   Anyhow you won't believe this, I felt like the luckiest person in the world if only for a second. I found the part I was in need of probably within the first 30 seconds, and then I did some cross comparisons with other automotive parts websites and I had found that I couldn't find a price any lower than AutoParts123.com

So I went back online to AutoParts123 and I purchased the parts on a Tuesday morning and they were on my front doorstep by Thursday afternoon when I came home from work. I couldn't believe it. I don't think anything has ever shipped that fast to me and I order items for home or office shipment all the time. 

A few days later,  I contacted a mechanic who works at another dealership to install the parts as a side job and in the end, because I found AutoParts123. They saved me $286.34.   I have been for quite some time very excited about my GREAT savings and I feel compelled to share my story so that you will benefit.

Try them out if you are looking for a hard to find part or a part you are in need of that beats the automotive dealer.   They are offering Free Shipping on orders over $50.00. This would be the time to at least take a peek at your vehicle's automotive parts and see if there is anything you have thought about buying that may have slipped your mind, or find something that you realize you actually could use or need.   Click their ad below to go to their site if you desire to save money now on your auto parts.

LIQUITEX MODELING PASTES - Create a Creative Sensation in Your Artwork

Liquitex is the brand I have used exclusively when it comes to modeling passtes, since I began painting original abstracts and contemporary art. I have never switched because I am completely happy with this brand and had no desire to switch to a competitor, besides from what I have learned, The price and the quality of this product compared to similar, competitive alternatives is a solid value.

I started off with one of the smaller sizes of modeling pastes in the beginning but it was a few days before I was bringing home their largest size, an entire gallon! I was never regretful for purchasing such a excessive amount at once, because I feel it's always better to have what you need on hand in terms of art supplies, so if you want to use it, and for some reason you don't have enough, you could have missed out on that creative moment when you can really create something spectacular simply because of the timing and the mood at that moment.

This product is worth having in your art supply closet, if you love to create. It comes in three types and many sizes although I recommend the size I have which is "The Gallon." You can't go wrong for a little extra money and you will have a supply to last many, creations to come and not have to worry about running out.

For 3-D forms. This modeling paste Can be textured when wet, and carved when dry. You can use many creative objects to form unique shapes and designs while wet. It usually dries overnight, unless you have really thick areas, then it may take slightly longer.

They Make Standard Modeling Paste, but also a Light Modeling Paste — This lightweight, airy, flexible, thick, sculptural gel is specifically formulated to be used in applications where weight is a factor. If you use by itself, it will dry to a matte opaque white that can readily accept staining if desired.

It will not exhibit "mud cracking." It is often used with texture gels.

Flexible Modeling Paste is a matte, opaque mixture of marble dust and polymer emulsion that is used to build heavy textures and three-dimensional forms on flexible or rigid supports.

The photos I have shown are an example of the cool textures and designs you can incorporate by using Liquitex Modeling Paste. I know you are going to buy some? you could order right now using the link photo above and you could have it on your doorstep in a couple days!  come on and try it out!!!

NutraSONIC Face and Body Brush, The best beauty product I have purchased this year!

I originally was going to buy the competitor's version of this product which was priced at almost double the cost for just the basic package until I found the NutraSonic Face Brush Skin Care System advertised on Amazon.

This is my favorite beauty purchase of 2010 so far. I love the NUTRASONIC FACE BRUSH and consider it to be a TOY because it's so fun to use and satisfying to see and feel the results of the product. You can buy the system for a few dollars more with two skincare supplements which includes toner and cleanser and I did and I am glad, they are botanical products that smell so nice and they work really good.

The technology of SONIC cleansing has been successfully used for years with toothbrushes, so it all made sense to me, that rather than using a washcloth and soap, why not exfoiliate and get a deep polish and scrub at the same time.

SONIC skin cleansing can offer you the cleanest and healthiest looking skin every day. It's kind of a mind and body experience. When you feel good you believe you look good and then it translates into a positive experience all day, every day, and the SONIC skin care system does this for you.

It's cleansing is really effective, yet gentle enough to be used in the morning and evening for every age and skin type. The oscillating massage will deep clean your pores and remove impurities, dirt and loose skin cells for a healthier, softer and younger looking skin.

Face Brush Professional System includes the charger, 1 brush for sensitive skin, 1 brush for normal skin, 1 body brush, 50 ml Botanical Cleanser and a 50 ml Botanical Toner. It has four speeds and it comes with a charging dock that plugs into to standard wall outlet with an indicator light to let you know when it's fully charged. When I first received it in the mail, I could hardly wait to use it, however the manufacturer suggest on first use to charge a full 12 hrs plus and I just couldn't wait that long. :-)

I use the normal skin brush for my face and neck every night and, I use the body brush once a week in the shower and do a head to toe body polish ritual and when you get out the shower you feel so good and you feel like you have performed a great service for your body. I also use it on my feet when I do the bathtub pedicures. After using the brush you simply wash it and leave it out to dry until next use. Did I mention the SONIC is Waterproof? yes, it is!!!!

I even talked my husband into letting me use the face brush on his face and neck and he was skeptical at first, but after I was done with his facial he was very pleased with how he felt. That is the thing I love, not only how it makes you look, but how it makes you FEEL.

I really suggest you get this set for yourself or for a gift for someone who really loves taking care of their skin or someone you know would love to try this product. You won't be disappointed.

Euro-Pro Shark Navigator Upright Bagless - The BEST Vacuum I have owned, and worth every penny

This is my most recent purchase and I am so happy I did!



I have wood floors with area rugs in each room and my regular vacuum cleaner which was a bagless upright was tearing up my area rugs and pulling the carpet fibers out and not vacuuming very well and it was so loud and overall not really doing a good job, even though it seemed like a powerful sounding vacuum. No matter how many times I vacuumed back and forth it seems like too much work. Little did I know just how right I was until I finally decided to purchase one after seeing the commercial on t.v.

I have a white haired Persian cat who shed's quite a bit not to mention he gets brushed constantly, so I needed something powerful, yet I wanted a vacuum that was lightweight yet, picked up the hair, and showed clear evidence that the rugs were freshly vacuumed and this SHARK Navigator was so impressive.

Even better it's so quiet in comparison to the standard upright that you can actually have a conversation while vacuuming believe it or not. I am here to tell you it's true!!! It's one of the first things I noticed.

Some of the other things I love about this vacuum is the power cord is the longest power cord on a vacuum I have ever seen. I think it's about or almost 30 feet long. The vacuum debris container is easy to pop out with one push of a button and then you press another button and bam, all the debris falls out, no shaking or digging in the dust is required. Euro Pro boasts that they provide lifetime filters as well, although the filters are washable so you can go a long time without having to change to a new one.

Here are some of the features and I provided a photo of one where you can purchase it if you think you are interested. I highly recommend it, based on the compact design, the quiet sound of the motor, the ability to do multiple rooms without unplugging the vacuum and it comes with all the on board tools you would need. a long hose with attachments for lengthening, and several attachments for vacuuming upholstery or stairs, and cracks and crevices. I know this price is higher than your standard vacuum, but even if you don't have pets. This is the one you want!

I cleaned houses for almost 20 years on the side of my full-time jobs and I have used a LOT of brands and types of vacuums and I can say so far, this is the best one yet by far that i have owned or used to vacuum.

I would recommend this vacuum to someone who needs an easy push and pull vacuum in case you are medically unable to do to much physical pushing because of it's lightweight design.

Give Your Skin a Pre-Summer Spa Polish!

So it's true, we don't always have the time or the money to just whisk away to some neighborhood spa or a luxury resort when it comes to treating ourselves to simple pleasures that pamper our bodies and make us feel relaxed, renewed, clean and polished. It is still important to make the time to treat yourself to some genuine attention and tender loving care.


 What better time than now, right before the summer season begins.
The sandals are coming on, the toes are coming out, the shorts, the sundresses and bathing suits are coming on, and everyone wants to look and feel their best.


 One of the ways to get started is to point you in the right direction. One of my long time favorites for spa quality products is the The Body Shop.


 The Body Shop® offers a full assortment of naturally-inspired products, including bath & body, men's and women's skincare, and creative gift ideas for a variety of occasions. They also offer classic and unique fragrances, home fragrances, makeup, and accessories.

 

      

You have to see the selection!!!!

Ed Hardy JEWELED, ARTSY Sunglasses...These are HOT!!!!

These sunglasses are just a small group of a HUGE selection of Ed Hardy sunglasses that are amazingly alluring, and captivating to look at to say they least.

They are fantastic!. This will be one set of sunglasses that you will want people to see your profile! :)

If you want to see more of them click on the photos and you will be taken to the area where you can view them and buy them if you really fall in love with them.

The only disadvantage I could see for shopping for a pair of these sunglasses is trying to make a decision on which one you want. I can see how easily it would be for everyone to contemplate, two maybe even three pairs, of course because of the difficulty rendering a decision on only one pair. :-)
