It's not as bold and thick as Great Lash ... http://www.wetalkshop.com/blog/2007/11/12/maybelline-define-a-lash-lengthening-mascara/ We typically don't write about toy recalls here, or any product recalls, but as a mom I've been faced with keeping up with the latest bombardment of information so I thought it would be only fair of me to share some important links with our WTS readers. Yesterday I learned about ... http://www.wetalkshop.com/blog/2007/11/08/something-we-dont-like-to-hear-toy-recalls/ So winter is upon us (at least in some states) and thought I should start writing about a couple of things I've tried to keep dry skin away. One of them is Nivea creme, the blue tin ones you see practically in every drugstore. I bought the small tin for ... http://www.wetalkshop.com/blog/2007/10/31/nivea-creme/ I love chocolate, and I can't say I'm the most discriminating when it comes to what kind I buy.

Finally, after talking ... http://www.wetalkshop.com/blog/2007/10/24/all-free-clear-laundry-liquid-detergent/ My toddler son got some of that fancy foaming soap for Christmas last year. We finally finished the bottle, which tells me that we don't do a good enough job washing our hands. In attempt to do better, to use more soap this cold and flu season I bought another ... http://www.wetalkshop.com/blog/2007/10/22/hand-soap-for-kids-and-adults-too/ I love Fekkai products, especially the glossing cream that shopgirl_joyce just reviewed.
