I just love these magnets.....I can't walk by my refrigerator without a snicker when I see these magnets! I sometimes stop and just look at them to give myself a giggle. So well worth getting, any cat lover would LOVE to have these as an addition to their magnet collection!

my friend totally got a kick out of this gift. it was exactly what i thought i was getting and was delivered quickly.

Bought these as a gift for a friend that ADORES cats. She got a huge kick out of it. Magnets are tooo funny! I thought they would be small magnets (maybe about 1/2 to 1-inch tall, but they are quite a bit larger. All the magnets sit on a piece of cardboard that is about 12" x 12" square ... so individual magnets are larger than I thought. Good value for the money. Very happy!

This set of six magnets is the most disturbing gift that I know of for cat lovers. Each magnet representing the aft section of various cats is four to four and a half inches tall, while the lovely hairball magnet is about an inch and a half in diameter. The magnets are of high quality, and are very effective. For cat lovers who have sedate, boring refrigerators, this set is an excellent gift. It also somewhat unappetizing, so it could possibly help with many diet plans.

I find Poo-Pourri to work impressively well...that is, when I can actually use the bottle it came in to spray it. I've bought two of these for myself, and within a few weeks after first using each bottle's spray nozzle has broken such that they no longer spray but instead pathetically eject a steady stream of liquid. This is not only inefficient (wasted expensive product) but much less effective as well, as the entirety of the water in the bowl is not covered. I even bought one for a friend as a gift before mine broke, and he reports the same failure after a similar amount of time. I am impressed by what this product can do, but until the packaging quality improves, a a repeat buyer I will not be.

We used to buy 3 of the 4 ounce size at a local gift shop for $19.95 each which comes to $59.85. I ordered this large bottle plus a 4 ounce bottle of the No. 2 scent (which I prefer) and it came to 40.42 - a savings of 19.43 which is almost like getting the 4 ounce bottle for free! That's a good value when you consider how important this stuff can become to the peaceful coexistence of man and woman! This product does what it says it does and it will prevent bathroom odor rather than covering it up. The formula is some kind of combination of starches and oils that when sprayed on the surface of your toilet water, forms a protective film that traps odor and gases. There are other products out there claiming to the same with a squeeze bottle but they come in mint or menthol scents and the squeeze bottles aren't as easy to use as this product which has a measured spray. I've tried a few and I much prefer the Poo Pourri because it doesn't have a perfume scent. instead, the original is a citrus scent leaning towards the mandarin orange side of things. I like the No.2 scent better because it has more of a Bergamot scent. Bergamot is that citrus fruit whose peel is used to scent Earl Grey tea. The product suggest 4 to 6 sprays but we use between 6 and 7 sprays for best results. Anything more than that would be overpowering. Remember, you only want to eliminate odor, you don't want to use the stuff as a room spray! So, 6 to 7 spray onto the water and you're good to go, literally. Anything UNDER the water will have it's odor locked. That's an important little fact. Remember it when using the product. Also, if you have a bathroom "reader", ask them to flush ASAP and then continue with their "reading" for best results. The spray won't trap odor as effectively if your "reader" waits until he's finished his book, magazine or newspaper to flush. This product might seem like a funny joke but I can tell you from experience that it makes sharing a bathroom a lot easier. Once you've had it on hand for a while, you won't want to be without it.

I love Poo-Pourri. I'm coming back for more. It has a natural homey scent, not perfumey. Aaah. Like aroma therapy, and I am not allergic to it. I'm stocking up.

Hey this stuff really works!!! Just give the bowl a couple of squirts BEFORE YOU GO!! and VUALA!! no bad smell :[] This Poo-pourri has a nice grapefruit lemony kind of smell. It's not overpowering like that orange citrus spray. This one really has a nice clean smell. I think it's great. I put some of this stuff in a small 3oz spray bottle and brought it to work with me. I keep it in my desk and use it when I've gots to go!!! Worth every penny :[]

This is amazing stuff! Just be sure to spray before, not after and your good to go!

These are HILARIOUS and so real that my parents believed that all the grand-kids got tattoos in honor of their 80th birthdays! We almost couldn't convince my parents that they were fake until all eight grand-kids gathered to sport these "grand" tattoos. The "Whose Your Grand Daddy" tattoo was TOO CONVINCING, we had to fess up before they had a coronary! The sizes of the tattoos were perfect and several made absolute great tramp stamps. They were the hit of the party, and now my mom is going to use the "Born to Ride" on the back of her neck for their 60th wedding anniversary coming up April 1st. No joke. Buy these tattoos. Well worth the laughs, but WARNING! If applied correctly, they look TOO REAL!!!!

This Blue Q Tattoos For The Elderly set of tattoos is cute and funny for some but maybe offensive to others. Tattoos are stickers on a sheet, about 15 total. There are sayings with false teeth in a glass that read "bite me", a scooter that reads "born to ride", adult diapers that read "out of control", a 7 day medicine holder with a snake wrapped around it, and some skulls and crossbones that read "retirement home boy", "arthritis sucks", and a ribbon that reads "really old school". Funny for a gag gift for the holidays or birthday. Very inexpensive, but not for everyone. Safer for a 40th or 50th birthday, in my opinion.

Any senior adult with a great sense of humor would have fun with these tattoos. I recently wore a few "tattoos" for a ladies weekend at the beach. We had a great time! The tattoos were gone in 3 days, but were great fun along the way. I still have a few left and ordered another set for friends. Will also purchase some sets for Christmas gifts for my fun senior friends!

I live in West Texas and we have "extremely hard". It is foul-smelling, bitter and salty water. It's hard on your teeth, hair and skin. No amount of lotion, oil or gel could ease my families dry skin. Then my daughter started showing signs of eczema on her knees and multiple episodes of cradle cap. So, I decided to get a water softner. It worked great but when we moved we couldn't take the softner with us. So, I found the bath ball and decided to give it a try. It has been great!! After swirling the filter for a few minutes the water goes from slighty hazy with a strong cholrine smell to perfectly clear and no smell. It was wonderful!! My daughter skin has responded better to the creams prescribed for her and there is no dry, itchy skin after her bath. The same goes for me and my cracked dry feet. My husband has yet to try it, he is a shower man!! I am not saying this filter cured our skin issues but it removed the cholrine and other minerals that was drying our skin out and keeping the lotions and cream we buy from working at their best. The 5-8 minutes you spend swirling the bath ball goes really fast and you can keep it in the tub while you bathe. It so easy to use, just open th box, swirl it in the tub and hang to dry. It really does work and if you have hard water it is worth every penny. It;s cheaper than a water softner or other filter and it lasts for 200 baths (depending on water). That rounds off to about 15 cents a bath!!

...other than that, what's the problem? Seriously, every time I use this, the plastic ball pops open. Also, I've found little blobs of the blue spongy/foamy filtering material in my bath. Plus, it takes a few minutes for it to work. I was obviously not thinking clearly when I bought this (plus replacement cartridges). Not worth the price. I'm not certain it's making much of a difference either.

I was excited to finally receive a bath ball to take the chlorine out of the bath water, as my skin gets dry and I love to take a bath. I already have a filter for the shower which works great. However, I found that the bath ball really didn't get rid of the chlorine smell and the dry skin, it didn't seem to work that well for our water in Tucson. I tried soaking it longer and various methods of pulling it through the water. Now I just fill the bath tub with water from the shower head.

This was indeed a great buy. The water in our base housing is super hard and the smell of the chlorine is very strong,but I noticed the immediate difference when I ued the ball. The smell was noticably reduced so I know the product works!

I've been using this product for almost a month and it does help make the water softer and less irritating for my children. You have to swirl it around the water for a while to get the full benefit. My kids like to play in the water while the faucet is on and if I want to use the ball then I have to fill the tub and swirl the ball before they can get in. I do notice that if I don't use the ball according to the directions they get itchy in the tub and want to get out right away. I bought a showerhead filter at the same time as this ball for my bathroom shower and I love it. I plan to buy a showerhead filter for the children as well because I feel it works better than the ball. We have a handheld showerhead in their bathroom as well.

I found Jennifer's advice and tips very clear and helpful...from treating simple colds to everyday maintenance. The massage techniques were especially helpful in treating my daughter's persistent cold and my allergies. My husband and I have spent the last five years cleansing ourselves of unnecessary medicines and chemicals. It's wonderful to have such a great resource available to treat my girls as well as ourselves.

Mommy's ER is invaluable. The thing I like most is the fact that I can complement traditional pediatric treatments with Jennifer Crain's extremely clear and helpful suggestions. She does a fabulous job at cutting through all the Eastern medicine jargon and explaining treatments that are unfamiliar to many in a straight-forward manner. There is absolutely nothing flaky here--it's well-researched, proven treatments from a veteran in the field who is very much in touch with the needs of parents. If you've ever been up in the middle of the night with a feverish child and the Tylenol isn't cutting it, tune in to this DVD. All of you will sleep a lot better!

This DVD series is awesome. It's so comprehensive and covers the health issues that are major concerns for moms. I just wish it was available to me when I had my first child five years ago and was rushing to the pediatrician every five minutes for minor things. I have had great success with the massage techniques and dietary recommendations for my daughter's constipation. I have also used the spinal rolling and some of the acupressure techniques for my son who is easily overstimulated. I have already recommended this to a friend whose son has ezcema and asthma. She was so excited to see there's something other than steroids that can help her when he is having problems.

For any parents hoping to learn how to keep their children healthy without the constant use of antibiotics and over-the-counter medications, Mommy's ER is for you. What parent doesn't feel confused and guilty running to the pharmacy each time your child gets a fever, cough, runny nose or bellyache? Mommy's ER empowers you to treat many common, non-life-threatening ailments without the use of drugs or an unnecessary trip to the pediatrician. And you probably have many of these remedies in your pantry (like prunes, ginger, rice) and don't even know it! - not to mention a loving mother's own two hands! Mommy's ER was indispensable to me when I couldn't get to the bottom of my 4 year old son's recurrent cough and runny nose. More importantly, the DVDs taught me how to prevent these problems in the future. I especially appreciate the dietary recommendations and tips on how to keep the home environment healthy. Thank you Jennifer Crain for providing such a valuable tool to have under my sleeve at the beginning of each school year!

Mommy's ER has been an extremely useful tool in our household of two children. In each DVD, the ailments are broken down into chapters, so if you need something right away, you can access it immediately. We started watching the segment on allergies, and both my kids (and husband) were so riveted by the DVD, that we just watched the rest of it together! This DVD set is perfect for parents of young children, and for anyone interested in improving or simply maintaining their child's health. There were some great tips on creating a healthier home, and I also learned about things I could be doing differently to improve the health of my children. The DVDs are very informative without being preachy or boring. And it's great to see kids on the DVD doing some of the things mentioned, so you get an idea of how to do things (like the spinal rolling technique to calm kids down...we use this a lot!). Overall, this is an excellent resource for our home, one that we have turned to again and again. I highly recommend it!

I must say that this product works incredibly fast. I received it in a timely fashion and this bottle came intact (although I ordered the rollerball and it was practically empty when I got it, most of the product had leaked out). Everyone's skin is different and I used the peel one day and felt absolutely nothing. I washed it off then went about the rest of my day. I decided to use it on the following day (I don't recommend that anyone else do this. I know my skin very well and how it reacts to different treatments) and it started to tingle Yay! I washed off after two minutes and noticed that my skin was so smooth, and the minor discoloration on my face were lighter. I am in my mid twenties with basically clear dark brown skin. I have a few minor flaws (2 pimples that healed and left little black dots and a small discoloration under my eye). This product worked very well for me with no real irritation. In addition my sister who is just a little older than me with oily skin (I have normal/dry skin), had a small cluster of stress pimples on her cheek. she used it once and they have already started to clear up. And a little side note. After using the peel you must moisturize. I chose to forgo typical face cream and instead used hydro-cortisone cream. The slight stinging went away immediately and my face felt great Hope this helps! ps- I would have given 5 stars but I want to see what happens after the six weeks!

I bought this after reading so many other reviews. So far I have used it four times. The first three times I used it I could not tolerate the tingling, prickly (almost like glass in your face) sensations. I have very sensitive skin so prehapes that has something to do with why my tolerance was not very high. So only keeping it on for the first two minutes the first three times it didn't seem to do a lot. It did though leave a smoother feel to my skin and after the third time my pores looked a little smaller. I never itched afterwards but my checks and nose (Where my pores are the largest) almost seemed to toughen. After about a week they were soft again. It was not noticable by the human eye it just felt that way to me, by touch. The fouth time I used it, the prickly sensation seemed much more tolerable therefore I left it on for 5 minutes. I can see a much better result and my skin itches a good bit. They say not to scratch or rub so I'm doing my best not to. But the skin around my nose where the pores seem to be very large, for my entire life but especially after giving birth, seemed to be almost completely gone now. The pores around my checks are considerably smaller and much finer looking so they are not noticable anymore and the toughness that I had before is not there this time. I also changed facial creams so I don't know if that has anything to do with it but in my opinon it does. The better results I really think are due to leaving it on longer. In addition, I can SEE more smoothness on the rest of the skin on my face, including two very tiny spots, that were from sun damage, have been aletered. Only one shimmers a slight visual the other is compeltely gone. As for my very fine lines they are still there. But with the rest so far I'm fairly pleased. I had one facial before that they used a chemical peel in a salon and the peel didn't tingle so much and it was left on for a good 15 minutes. The bad part about my peel is the girl was apparently ruff and due to that I had scabes on my face afterwards. I'm told that should never of happened. Therefore, I'm very happy I found this product and will certainly continue to use it and maybe it will hit the fine lines soon. I will keep my bottle after it is empty just in case I want to repurchase it but I most likely will look to try a different product.

Used the peel four times and skin conditions have remarkedly improved. However the last peel has only slight improvement as skin has adapted to the acid. Will have to go for a 50-70% soln. Would advise anyone to purchase a 50-70% soln and dilute it to 35% as a start. It saves money too.

I am a retired skin care professional. Glycolic Acid peel is really best at stimulating cell renewal. It's excellent for older skin renewal that has become sluggish, thus tired wrinkled skin accumulates on the top. I used the product differently than directed. You want to get the product to penetrate the skin. I put it in my hand and massaged into my thoroughly cleansed face, being careful to avoid the eyes. Any left, I massaged into my hands to clean up old skin there. It takes weeks to finally see good results, but my skin does look smoother and younger. I also was able to remove several embedded blackheads with ease.

I tried this product after a lot of research, i found it did just what it said it would my face is Sooo smooth and i could not be happier.

My middle-age skin was in need of a wake-up. I hadn't had a professional facial in about 4 months, and I really didn't want to drop $100 on another, so I tried this. Good choice for immediate results. My main issues -- congested skin, big pores. I saw immediate improvement after only two applications for a minute or so. I was definitely in need of help, and this product helped. It also is helped to heal a cystic pustule. The only time I saw such immediate improvement on one of these was when I resorted to steroidal shots to heal a nagging one. Money well spent in my opinion.

I've been using this product for 5-weeks. Honestly, my skin looks the same. The only time I had any peeling was when I got a little peel happy and applied Alpha Hydroxy on off days. YES! I know. Not everyone will experience peeling all the time, and not that I really wanted that. I just wanted...something. Granted, I only spent $18.95. I should have known better. Bah.

First you should know that I have been struggling with acne since I was 12 and have been on everything you can think of and have spent countless dollars on solutions, concoctions, pills that ultimately did not work. I did find some relief while on Accutane, but after 2 rounds of it (2003, 2006). But now, 4 years later, I am still breaking out like I'm experiencing purberty all over again. I decided I didn't want to put my body through the stress of Accutane again and deal with the dangerous side effects. I have so many scars from the acne and new acne continue to appear daily. And being a woman of color, the discoloration of the post acne marks leaves your skin looking horrible. I literally look disfigured. My complexion is so many different shades that I could never leave the house bare faced. I have literally become a prisoner of makeup. To try to help this, I've began to monitor my diet (limited fried foods, dairy, citrus, fats) and increase my amount of water intake in hopes that my skin will notice and clear up. I have yet to see any hope with this plan. So in desperation, I've decided I need to start my skin over fresh. I've had several chemical peels in the past from dermatologist but being a graduate student, I don't have the funds to afford them now. So after doing some research, I found this peel. After reading some awesome reviews, I decided to give it a shot. I received the 20% salicylic acid on Wed (3/3/10) and decided to use it the very next day (today). I also decided that I would use the peel every other day (3x/week)for 6 weeks before stopping and giving my skin a break. Before I applied the peel, I washed my face with a gentle cleanser using warm/hot water and rinse in cool water. I patted my face with a towel and allowed my face to further dry for roughly 5 min. I applied the peel using a Q-tip and started with my forehead working my way down my face and then to my cheeks. Soon (about 30 sec. into the application) my face began to tingle then burn! I expected this and had a fan nearby. The use of the fan did allow me to stand the peel for approx. 4 min. for the 1st application. I do realize the directions say begin with one min but that just seemed like a waste of time and I could tolerate it for much longer than that, so I did (everyone's face/pain tolerance is different). After I couldn't stand it any more, I rinsed off with cold water. The burning sensation persisted during the rinsing and the towel blotting. It wasn't until I applied Ambi SPF30 face moisterizer that the pain stopped. My face looked the exact same (still acne present and dark spots galore) but my skin did feel noticeably softer. No redness or signs of irritation. What I did notice though, was that the acne that was present was beginning to dry up and become smaller in size. That's a good sign. I repeat I've only used it once so I guess I'll see how it does. I'll check back in 6 weeks when I've had a series of mini peels for a full review.

I have had problem skin forever. In 2006, I went all out and spent money on a plastic surgeon to remove some scars and then underwent expensive acne treatments in his office. That only lasted as long as I kept going to his office for the treatments. Once I quit going within weeks my skin looked terrible again and the scar came back just a bit. So since then I've had terrible skin. I was willing to spend so much money on it and I just tried to deal with my skin condition using over the counter products UNTIL I discovered this Salicylic Acid Peel. It's been 3 weeks since I bought it. And wow, what an improvement in my skin. The scar area is about to fall off right now. My pores are significantly smaller. My oily skin isn't oily anymore. The overall condition of my skin is such an improvement. Just in the nick of time too because I have an important event coming up and I will look great in my new skin. This stuff works. Try it out and see your skin condition clear up and improve overall. I have one wrinkle in between my forehead which I haven't had luck getting rid of but I'll continue to apply this and see if it improves. I'll keep you posted. Best product I've found on amazon.com.

I have been using this peel for a few weeks now hoping for great results like I read in the reviews. I'm not sure why, but this peel REALLY dries out my skin - just on the bottom have (jaw, lower cheek). I have very oily skin, so this was unexpected. I followed the directions and left it on for less than a minute each time, but still ended up w/ several brown patches of very dry, scabby skin. Then two days later I start to peel severely and this lasts a few days. I'm sure it's a great product, I just haven't had good results. It did, however, reduce oil and blackheads. I'm going to try it in combination w/ the Lactic Acid 50% peel as recommended and see how that goes.
