Excellent Idea…Finally

Reviewer Comments: for years, i have been sick and tired of dirt in my car after mtn bikinmg and being a muddy mess. I saw this thing in a parking lot being used one day, I couldn’t figure out where all the water was coming from and mud streams so I walked over to his car. This guy had his mountain bike spotless and was rinsing his legs and gear off by the time I walked over. Its not a pressure washer like we all know, its portable and cordless and holds enough water to clean up when you dont have a hose available. It sprays plenty strong and can be adjusted. I live in the city - try finding a hose thier. Excellent tool - I finally bought one. Cant and wontlive without it.

My Lucky Day

Reviewer Comments: I had never heard of CymaxStores. Was trolling the internet when I stumbled across the site. I was suspicious of such a good deal but I had been looking for a utility kitchen cart for so long that I decided not to pass it up. Also, being more cerebral than mechanical, I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to put it together.Posh! Piece of cake!! Diagram instructions were so clear that, once I put my anxiety aside, I was able to put it together—by myself! Yeah, me!! My coffee tree sits on top of the cart so that the cups are always there to beckon me to take a friendly coffee break. My spice tree also sits on the top shelf within handy reach when I’m cooking. The second shelf holds my small applicances, rice cooker, slow cooker, and cookbooks. My microwave just does–just does–fit on the bottom shelf. Knives are within reach of the stove; dish towel is within reach of the sink. I could not be more pleased with the product, the price [...]

Still comfy for two

Reviewer Comments: I bought this hammock specifically to use when I “popped the question” to my wife. That was over three years ago and it has turned out to be one of the things that stays in the car because we use it so much. It’s extremely comfortable and easy to set up. Both my wife and I can nap together in it, although that doesn’t say much since neither of us weigh all that much. I’ve even used it when it’s colder than what I would consider “hammock weather”. Just throw in some blankets and you’re golden.

Some of the things to think about though…this is not for backpacking. It’s bulky (although it has it’s own little storage sack), and weighs quite a bit due to the fact that it’s 100% cotton. I’ve never gotten it wet, but I’m guessing it wouldn’t be good for it. Also, when you’re hanging it up, make sure you string it up high since the cotton fabric stretches quite a lot over time. I usually hang it at eye level (I’m 6′ tall) and after a few hours my wife and I can reach over the side and grab our shoes off the ground.

After a few years this thing is still going strong. Some of stitching is getting worn out, but I don’t see any problem with it lasting another couple of years.

Strike A Pose!

Reviewer Comments: Strike A Pose with this very functional skeleton! I have a lot of fun with him. In fact, I have TWO because I love them so much. Last year I hung them from the chandeliers! They are always a big hit. You will have a spooktacular time with them! See my pictures below.

I could not be more pleased and satisfie

Reviewer Comments: Not given to laudatory excesses normally, but these Lagunas just might be the finest thing I’ve ever put on my feet! Am 65, retired and travel and walk/hike a lot, often to warm places. Also have feet that sweat a lot and swell some as the day goes on. Have never before had footwear of any kind, either sandals or expensive walking shoes that were more comfortable and that adapt comfortably and automatically during the day because of the stretchy laces. What a great idea by Keen!

I normally hesitate to order shoes online, because I’m somewhere between a 10 1/2 Wide and an 11 Medium. Well, these sandals fit me perfectly and my son who is an 11 Narrow only had to make a slight adjustment in the stretchy laces for them to fit him perfectly also.

Feel free to walk in the water at the beach. If they get dirty or the water is salty, just wear them into the shower, clean/rinse them and let them air dry overnight. Even when wet or damp they are perfectly comfortable. Am going to order two more pairs, a spare for me and another pair for my son. Thank you Keen and OnlineShoes!

This machine is an absolute Joy to use!!

Reviewer Comments: It is difficult to quantify what makes the D3 so amazing. Yes, it has amazingly low noise, Yes, it has a “full-frame” sensor. Yes, it is rips off in-focus RAW frames like a machine gun. Yet none of these features are the reason that I love my D3. After spending a little time getting familiar with the settings and controls, I don’t have to think about the camera. I can focus on creative expression, how I want a shot to look, and make it happen. Whether it is making exposure adjustments, double exposures, switching between portrait and sports settings, the abundance of features on the camera you will actually USE, and intuitively. Having owned Nikon film cameras, and digital SLRs, I was already familiar with Nikon’s controls, but the D3 is on a whole new level of funcionality! Many will choose the D700 because it is much cheaper, and is full frame. But as any pro who owns one will tell you, the D3 is worth far more than the sum of its impressive features.

Must have for wavy hair!

Reviewer Comments: I’ve tried sooo many products to give my wavy hair some definition. I’ve never been wash-and-go with my hair. I’ve always either battled with it to straighten using a blow dryer and flat iron, or loaded it up with gel and used a diffuser to get it curly, then I’d have to go over the stubborn spots with a curling iron. I have long hair, almost to my waist. I foil regularly, so it’s quite processed and dry on the ends, and extremely prone to breakage.

I bought the travel size one to give it a whirl. I’d planned to use it like I do Frederick Fekkai’s Glossing Cream, when I straighten my hair.

On a weekend morning, I had drop in guests unexpectedly. I’d just gotten out of the shower, put this in my hair, and ended up having to run downstairs to open the door. By the time our guests left, my hair was at least half dry, so I ran upstairs to re-wet it and planned to get started on straightening it.

When I looked in the mirror, I did a double take. That COULD NOT be my hair!! It looked like the soft, beachy waves you see in the magazines, which no normal human on earth can reproduce. I was stunned. For the first in my life, my hair looked truly beautiful in its natural state, thanks to a nickel sized dollop of Jonathan’s No-Frizz Hydrating Balm.

It’s been about two weeks and I’ve only straightened my hair twice. I’m almost out of the travel sized tube, and am back here to buy the full sized one. I cannot rave about this enough.

Smart mommy must have thought of this!!!

Reviewer Comments: These extenders are really great! I wish I had them for my 1st son. My new baby is a big guy. He just turned 3 months old the other day and is already over 14 lbs.! He’s not just chubby, but long too, so alot of his smaller onsies still fit his body, but don’t button. I have often just tucked them in.. which obviously doesn’t stay so well on a little guy! I’ve even used them with a onsie from an outfit and put it with a different pair of pants that are a little bigger. They work great and come with different size snaps to fit different brands, and obviously color doesnt matter if it goes under pants! -Definately worth it! And actually saves money since it makes the outfits last longer and you can use them for as long as they wear those kind of shirts… Which is quite awhile! Very good buy!

WOW

Reviewer Comments: Wow - this dress is fantastic. I have literally not worn a dress in OVER 10 YEARS - just worn separates. The price looked good so I thought I’d try it and look for something feminine and flattering. (At least that’s what they say on What Not To Wear ) I actually waited a few days to try it on because I wasn’t that optimistic about it. I tried it on as I was about to start dinner, and have now interrupted making dinner to write this review! Very feminine, flattering, true to size. I had sneakers on when I tried it on and my daughters all said “Mom that is adorable on you!” I figured that if it was close enough I could always have it altered a bit, but there is no need to. OK, this review is probably getting too long, but this dress is great and a great buy.
