Here are some of my favorite products:
Scrubbing Bubbles Action Scrubber
-I can actually get the glass doors in the shower clean now without scrubbing forever.
Mr. Clean magic Eraser pad
-Cleans up the marks on the walls, no harsh chemicals or strong smells.
Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder-Gel- (I like the Natural Clean scent)
-No more bra burns when working out. Helps reduce the rash from my thighs rubbing together, too.
What do you use that you would recommend to others?
The Method cleaning wipes for sure. I keep some at home and at my desk at work. I don't have to wash my hands after using them and they come in a 'naked' version-no scent, no dye.
Burts Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream has saved my nails from utter disaster.
Dove Ultimate Clear Sensitive Skin anti-perspirant. If they stop making this stuff, I will be a very sad panda.
* Flexitol Heel Balm
- Wonderful for softening ultra-rough skin on your heels. Smells a little...odd, but to combat that, I rub a thin layer of pretty-scented lotion over it.
* Diva Cup
- A sanitary pad/tampon alternative, re-usable month after month after month. Great for the wallet, great for the landfill.
* Method Laundry Detergent
- Concentrated. Smells good. Cleans great.
* B&J Coffee Heath Bar Crunch
- Please tell me you don't REALLY need an explanation of this one.
* Shed Ender pet hair brush
- Go fur, go!
Jessicurl products for fine, curly hair.
Day-Timers for keeping up with everything.
Swiffer -- great for dusting everywhere, but also on the ceiling fans.
Thanks! Keep them coming!
Almond Milk from Diamond- Excellent milk substitute, low in fat and sugar and delicious!
Burt's Bee's facial cleansing and moisturizing products- lip balms- they rock.
Corn Thins- excellent with any spread and they taste better than rice cakes.
Guiltless Gourmet Tortilla Chipps- they are baked, and my favorites are Chili Lime, Chipotle, and Spicy Black Bean.
Health Valley no salt added cans of soup. Low in fat and wonderful for lunch or a quick pick me up. My favs are Minestrone, Black Bean, and Lentil.
I'll come back with more!
Schick Intuition Razor. Once I tried it there was no going back to regular razors. Ever!

They're great. I forgot that one. No more cans of shaving cream!

Yes, this is a great product. A lot of other deodorants, Secret especially, give me a rash but this one doesn't irritate my skin at all. And it really is clear - I never get white marks on my shirts.

ITA!
I will also agree with Magic Eraser and Diva Cup!
I'm a big fan of Reynolds Release Wrap Aluminum Foil. That stuff rocks! I use it constantly and it makes clean-up a snap. I use it when we make pizzas for the melty cheese (it never goes to waste now because it doesn't stick - YUM!), any time I have to cover something in the oven that might stick, it's great for Shake N Bake or other coated types of chicken or fish or whatever. We even use it on the grill sometimes. I've done grilled peppers and onions and the like on it. It's great because it really cuts down on the amount of oil that I need to use, so that's less calories and fat in my diet.
I also like the Press N Seal wrap too. It's been pretty handy lately for leftovers and lunches instead of regular plastic wrap.
Those are the two things that come to mind at the moment...I'm sure I'll come up with others.
Great thread BTW!
Vanessa
Tide pens.
They fit in my purse and they're great for when you go out to dinner and drop food on your shirt.
Redken Outshine Anti-Frizz Polishing Milk.
The only anti-frizz product that leaves my hair wavy and glossy without feeling heavy. It's usually around $13-$15 a bottle, but SO worth it.
Bug-Me-Not Mosquito Repellent Patches.
If you hate having that toxic DEET spray all over yourself, try these. You stick it on your body just like a birth-control or non-smoking patch. It lasts around 6 hours (although they tell you it lasts for 24). It really works! Apparently it releases Vitamin B-1 into your body, which masks the Co2 we emit, thus making us invisible to mosquitos.
GladRags and LunaPads.
I can't use a Keeper or Diva Cup, and these are so much less irritating and itchy than disposable sanitary pads.
I am really curious to try this razor y'all are talking about! I hate hate HATE shaving, so if this will make it easier, I'll be all over it.
The Amazon Kindle e-reader. I know it's been mentioned before on another thread in the past, but I was reading mine today at the hair salon and my stylist went nuts over it. It really is fan-fucking-tastic.
Dannon Dan-Active little yogurt shakes.
They have immune-boosting and digestive bacteria in them, and they taste yummy. I feel a whole lot better when I have one every day.

I've been using it since the day it hit the market. I'd be lost without it.
My only complaint would be that it dissolves unevenly therefore, when one end of the bar is done, there is still plenty on the other end. You'll get a better idea when see what it looks like:

Because you're constantly going in the same direction, it get uneven. That would be my only complaint though. Other than that, it's fantastic!
NKB, I agree that the built in shaving stick on the razor does dissolve lop-sided. There should be a way that you could turn it as you shave for an even amount.
I found a new favorite today!! I ordered it online because I couldn't find it in the stores.
I ordered a toothpaste called CREST WEEKLY. I love it. My teeth have never felt cleaner. I feel as though I just walked out of the dentist office from a cleaning.
Another vote for the Intuition razor from me. It's GREAT! I used to use gel and a regular razor but don't have the space now that we only have a shower stall in our main bathroom. My gripe is that the replacements are expensive and how unevenly the soap thingy wears down. There's no good way around it and a lot of it ends up trashed when the other side runs out. Sometimes I will just use the remaining bar (Whatever that thing is) and then use the razor. It doesn't work as well, but it's better than nothing.
My crazy cat has been on Avoderm dry cat food and it's great! She barfs less, begs for her food, and is doing great on it. She's on the Avoderm hairball formula for adults.
Another new favorite shopping site for pets
http://www.muttropolis.com not only is there a HUGE variety of products but they are very reasonably priced! I think the christmas presents this year are coming from this site. Those new hemp dog collars look perfect!

OK; I have to ask...does this mean you only have to brush your teeth once a week?

Thanks for this site Kirby, I want to buy that Tick Tock Teaser for Boots For Xmas, lol
Products I like? hmmmmmmm so many I have to really stop & think.
"Zep" Mildew & Mold Stain remover. Really does a great job cleaning bathrooms of hard watrer stains and Mildew & Mold stains too.
I don't clean my bathroom with anything else but "Zep"
ZorbeX is a great odor removal spray. Better then any Lysol or Glade product out there.
It totally removes the odor rather then covering it up with citrus smell.
Dannon Light & Fit Yougurts.. Is the best Yogurt (imho) around.
The other Yogurts may claim to be healthy and lite
But if you take a close look at the sugar content you will see that yogurts like Bryers lite, or Yoplait lite or even those liquid yogurts
have 20 grams of sugar or more
in each little cup.
Hell If I was going to eat that much sugar I would rather have a real candy bar instead.
But "Dannon Lite & fit" is the only yogurts around that have
around 7-8 grams of sugar in each cup.
This is perfect for anyone that has diabetes like we do.

LOL! It means that this toothpaste only needs to be used once a week. Continue to brush after every meal, as usual, with regular toothpaste.
