A Color Home Run!

Its the year of doing things for me for a change.  Working out, eating better and being more aware of my appearance.  I knew it was time to renew my hair color when a colleague of mine actually had the nerves to tell me I was starting to look my age.

I have colored my hair several times over the last 15 years, generally speaking once every 4 months or thereabout.  In the interim it is rare for me to touch up my roots to cover the grays between full coloration cycles mostly because my time is sparse.  I was hoping that this product would be the answer to all of it.

I have used Garnier before and even use some of their other non hair care products so I was familiar with the brand prior to this.

I loved the color I chose as above because it is very close in the picture to my natural color and I was hoping it would be so when I used it.  I was mostly concerned about gray coverage.

I love that this comes with a Precision brush so that I could a good job at the roots rather than just blobbing it in and hoping I got it all.  

The entire process went smoothly from the mixing of the color tube into the developer creme to using the brush to timing to rinsing to styling as usual.  One of the things I want to point out is that this does become a stay put mixture that did not drip everywhere.  It was easy to remove from my hands and face where I touched and may have smeared slightly.There was very little odor upon using the product and that was a big plus as well.


I recommend this color product highly.

Coffee Lovers Unite!

For those of you discerning coffee lovers out there who also prefer being more environmentally friendly, I really think this product is for you. I have probably done it all when it comes to coffee, the 12 cup brewer, the 8 cup brewer, the 4 cup brewer, the single cup brewer, the on the go brewer, the single coffee bag similar to teabags, the inexpensive and expensive coffee house coffees, etc, etc.  All of these methods being time consuming, expensive or just not true coffee tasting coffee (too weak, too strong, too bitter, not hot enough...). The real dreamy coffee taste I want to recreate are the coffees I had traveling through Europe.  I can still remember sitting in a cafe in Paris right near the Eiffel Tower a few years ago enjoying the sights and sounds of the Seine rushing by, tourist watching (although I was also a tourist) and enjoying a cup of coffee in the mid morning hours.  I had just about given up on the luxurious coffee taste of my overseas trips...

Dispose No More - CupVerdi REUSABLE Single Cup Coffee Filter

I LOVE my single cup coffee brewer.  I have stated this many times to many people!  It is great in a household where we are 2 people who do not drink coffee on an everyday basis but brewing an entire pot is way too much. What is also way too much is the cost of the coffee cups that you need to use in the brewer. I was excited to get this product to try and review.  It allowed me to use my own coffee flavors that I prefer, or if I bought whole bean coffee I ground it up and used the grounds in this single cup filter. There is a max fill line on the inside that allows you to put in as little coffee as you want or max fill capacity. The screening on the filter is so fine that it did not allow any grounds to escape like some other filters I have tried.  Also if you follow the fill allowance the grounds did not explode from the top either as I have had happen with others.  The lid seal was just tight enough to use but easy enough to open to fill or clean....

Strong, Functional Umbrella

This is absolutely the best umbrella I have owned in a long time!  It is functional and fashionable!  I bought the turquoise blue because I am so tired of the sea of black umbrellas I see every time it rains.  I wish more people would have bright colored umbrellas to brighten up those dreary rainy days.  But I regress... This umbrella is different from the moment you get it home.  You can see the difference in just the opening of it when you see the sleeve it comes in and the material the sleeve is made of.  The umbrella is made of that same material. It is thicker than your standard umbrellas you can see that and the material feel is soft yet durable. When you see the handle it has the auto open/close button and a wrist strap.  The feel of the handle is almost like those plush microfiber materials yet made of plastic.  It felt very comfortable in hand and did not slip. When you finally open the umbrella there is a black 'powdercoat' on...
