QOTW- Product questions....

OK......I've been racking my brain for a Question Of The Week here, and can't really come up with anything much, lol! So here's what I have instead-


What kind of toothpaste do you use? Is it always the same brand?


Do you have a preference to a certain make-up manufacturer?


Is your morning/night "face" regime almost spa like, or do you keep it simple?


Tell us one product you have that you cannot do without, and why?

For years I used to get chronic yeast infections. Every month, when my period came, yeast infection, when I used a different soap at say my parents house, yeast infection, when I had sex, yeast infection, when I had a pap smear, yeast infection. Anything that caused an unbalance in ph down there. YEAST INFECTION, even if I bought any regular brand of detergent for the clothes.

I switched all my product, I only wash with ALL FREE, Downey FREE, Dove soap and I take two acidopholus a day and I haven't had a yeast infection in 4 years. STRANGE how things are. I must be allergic to heavy fragrance or something in soap products.

No Crest for me. Only Colgate.

Yes they do have infomercials. I buy mine from QVC, cheaper.

It's called "Dramatically Different" lotion. It's yellow and seems to cost a lot, but a tiny squirt out of the pump bottle goes all over my face. So I think it's 25 dollars for a pump bottle and it lasts me the entire fall/winter season when I my face gets dry. I dont' need it most of Spring or any of summer...I guess it's the cold that dries out my skin. They give out samples of it in tiny bottles all the time. And I learned that even if they aren't giving anything away free for buying a product...you can probably ask if you are interested in trying a certain one. They forced a sample of eye-wrinkle cream stuff on me last time...what where they trying to say???? LOL. I chuckled at the young lady and said "Well, I guess I'm officially in my 30's then!" at which she got all nervous and stumbling over her words, lol. *sigh*

Nope, it wasn't me, lol. I am not a perfume person. I love smelling "fresh" like I just got out of the shower...and am hooked on Soft n Dry spray deoderant in the fresh scent. I fell in love with it while in high school. But I have an extra sensitive scence of smell. I love sublte ones...and don't like strong perfumes...although if I want a little scent on me I do love my Victoria Secrets body lotions...I have three different ones..one is fruity smelling, one is a light floral, and one is a vanilla (which DH says he isn't crazy about...but who wouldn't want to be next to someone who smells like a cookie??? lol).

And olive oil is great for skin...I have used that on my hands but not anywhere else. I should try that...and I love the idea of your homemade facial scrub! I want to give that a try!

I'm the perfume poster ;-)


But like Kim, I don't like to smell too strong. I was actually out the other night and the girl beside me smelled so perfumey I had to move.


Something fresh and simple for me mostly.

I use Crest normally. It's not always the same brand, but I tend to like Crest.


Do you have a preference to a certain make-up manufacturer?


I don't wear make-up all that much, so I've tried pretty
