I LOVES IT! I LOVES IT NOT!!!

 


These days I watch a lot of youtube channels many of which feature various product reviews.  I don’t have a youtube channel but thought I’d steal borrow their idea and share some of my LIKES & DON'T LIKES.  I always like seeing what other folks use their good money for…and sometimes I even hit on new things I want to try.  So hopefully some of you reading this might get some new ideas too…either for new things to try or to pass on.  Of course, it’s just “my” opinion!


OGX BODIFYING + BAMBOO FIBER-FULL BODY BOOSTING SPRAY MOUSSE...I LOVES IT!



I have very fine hair and have tried hundreds MANY different volumizing products...from $30 a bottle to $4 a bottle...and the more expensive ones haven't been a bit better for my hair than the cheaper ones!  A few months ago I discovered this one, and I really like it.  It's not my HOLY GRAIL (still looking for that) but I like it.  I last paid $10 at CVS, but just saw it on Amazon for $5:( 


FELT COVERED HANGERS...I LOVES IT!



These are the bomb!!!  I am gradually transitioning from all my colorful plastic hangers to these.  They take up less space in your closet & clothes won't slip off.  Amazon has many of them and seems to have the best price.  I've picked mine up here and there as I found them on sale.

Tip (from Pinterest) to save even more space:  slide a pop-top (off aluminum cans) over the head of a hanger & then thread another hanger through it.  I've done this, and I like it!


DELL INSPIRON LAPTOP...I LOVES IT...NOT!

I once had a DELL desktop and loved it, but in Feb. I bought this laptop and it has been nothing but trouble!  At one point, one of their techie people "took over" my laptop, worked on it for more than an hour, then told me everything was now hunky dory!  NOPE!  The techie at STAPLES did help though, and it's better but not great.  I have since read many bad reviews...shoulda checked them out BEFORE buying!  Be forewarned!


FITBIT VERSA...I LOVES IT!

My son & DIL gifted me with this awhile back & I've really enjoyed it.  It helps me keep up with my daily steps, tells me the time & date (which I can't seem to keep up with these days), allows me to set an alarm, and can do a bunch of stuff I have yet to figure out!  My grands love their Apple watch, but I know nothing about them.


NORWEX EnviroCloth & Window Cloth...I LOVES IT...a lot!



I don't have enough time or space to go in depth about NORWEX products, but you can go to their website and read all about these very environmentally friendly products.  They are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G...and EXPENSIVE.  The daughter of  friend sells the products (think AVON or Tupperware).  You cAn also watch many youtube videos on these products.  I bought the EnviroCloth & Window Cloth combo specifically for my kitchen windows (but they do so much more).  I have BUNCHES (that means A LOT) of windows in my kitchen and no matter what I used when I washed them there were always streaks...and I hate abhor streaks!  With these two products, STREAKS BEGONE!  You really should check out these products.  www.norwex.com  


IPSY BEAUTY BOX Subscription...I LOVES IT NOT!

These are not products I received


Did you know there are a bazillion "BOX" programs out there that you can subscribe to monthly, bimonthly, etc.  IPSY is one of them & I got rooked into trying it.  I was not impressed.  You get mostly sample sizes of beauty products & the price is $12 per month.  I got one box and canceled because I didn't feel what I received was worth that.  But read on...


WAL-MART BEAUTY BOX Subscription...I LOVES IT!



This is also a subscription, but it comes once a quarter (each season) and it's only (drum roll...) $5!  I have only received one box but I felt it was well worth that price.  It was fun trying out some new products and at least one was full size.  And that BOX...just too cute!  We all like to be pampered once in awhile, so I recommend it:)  


BUCKLE-FREE ELASTIC BELT...I LOVES IT...so much!



Don't broadcast this, but I have a little bit of a poochy belly!  And if I wear a belt to hold up my jeans, the buckle makes me look even poochier!  But this belt solves that problem...no buckle.  It comes in different colors. Yes, if you wear jeans you need THIS


AMAZON SMILE PROGRAM...I LOVES, LOVES, LOVES IT!



If you shop on AMAZON, you really should join their SMILE program.  A portion of your eligible purchases will be donated to the charity of your choice...I chose my favorite ST. JUDES CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.        Go H E R E and you can read about it & sign up.  It may be only pennies of your purchase, but every penny helps.  Please do sign up...or you can just use www.smileamazon.com (I think).


There are many products that I like & will readily endorse, but others nope, nohow, no way!  Hope you may have found something here that either you think is worth trying...or things you now know to be leary of.  Don't say I didn't warn you!




Have you tried any of these products?  If so, what is your opinion?

I'm ALL EARS!


PS:  I hate the new blogger!  I have had SO much trouble getting this post done and published!!!!!

    1. I don't think you will be disappointed in either. And the Amazon smile program does so much good for others.

  2. I like the felt hangers too and use them.
    The belt without the buckle looks interesting. I live in jeans but never wear a belt.
    Maybe because I blog every day and have gotten used to the new blogger but I don't have any problems at all.

    1. I didn't have trouble with my last post but this one was the devil!!! I don't like to wear belts but this one doesn't bother me. After I wear my jean awhile they begin to slip down and that is SO aggravating!!!

  3. I haven't tried any of these, but the felt hangers sound good.

    Sorry that you had problems in publishing this post, but I'm pleased you persevered.

    Have a lovely weekend.

    All the best Jan

  6. The Walmart box and felt hangers have my interest piqued! I'm not fond of the new blogger. I don't know why they just can't leave well enough alone. I have kind of figured it out but still not sure how to delete photos that I put in the post and then changed my mind. Hopefully I'll get it one day! Thanks for the loves and loves nots!

    1. Yaya, definitely get the felt hangers. TJMaxx also has great price on these if you have a store near you...or you maybe can order them online from there. I'm with you on the new blogger!!!!

  8. Cindy, I hadn't worn a belt in years either but I was tired of pulling up my jeans which would be tight when I put them on but falling down by end of day! I saw this belt and decided to try it and so glad I did!
