Online Product Review: LG500G by Tracfone

Well, here we go again! Another day, another product to review.  I have been mulling this one over quite a  bit. Seems in the days gone by tech was not as widely vast as it is today, and it seems also to me that there should be more product (honest product) reviews then there are. So I would like to provide you with one, it's for a cell phone provided by TracFone. I have owned another TracFone, and quite frankly I was some what pleased with the service just not the phone.

It was a small little thing by Motorola. I hated the thing! I still do, so I one day decided to let it go in trade for an LG500G. This phone I like a whole lot better, not only is it big enough for me to actually talk on, I have a bigger, better LED colored screen. I have my choice of downloading great ring tones either from TracFone's website or anywhere I please. I have better options of games, video cam as well as a nice still photo cam. I have Internet browser, photo sharing and email right to my phone. I can even assign different ring tones to different people's numbers in my contact list, so when the phone rings that tone I know right who is calling me. That makes is easier for me to instantly decide if I want to answer the phone or not, without having to look at the caller ID screen, which is also very handy to have. And if that wasn't enough, I even get a very crisp MP3 player to listen to my selected tunes whenever I wish. I will post a few pictures I have taken personally with this phone so you can see how they turn out. Believe me, seeing is definitely believing. TracFone also includes unlimited double minutes on this phone for the life and service of the phone. After the sale on this phone, from 29.99 to 19.99, which I wasn't aware of the sale so I paid full price, but still it's a great phone and I'm not angry I didn't know, a new phone was brought to the the public offering triple minutes on it; still like I said, this is great phone and I'm not angry one bit at anything else I could have had.

The phone is also app capable. We all know that Facebook, Twitter and Google are king of the Internet, so why not have a phone that really caters to them and you for how you surf the web? I use mine to check the weather frequently; especially now since the weather has been so messed up, it's nice to know what's coming and when, when I cannot be at home on my computer to check the reports. Speakerphone is also a neat little perk the people at LG snuck into this phone; most phones nowadays have that feature, but it's a new one for me since I'm upgrading from a $5 Motorola to a $29.99 LG500G. So if you really want to know what this phone can do and are thinking about buying one, think no longer! Take my word for it, it's a great little phone and I'm glad I bought it. My mother also bought another phone from TracFone, this will be her third. Her new one is a flip phone and she hates it! Now since she has seen my brother's and my phone, yes my brother and I bought the same phone and yes, he knew what phone I was buying, now mom wants one and she's sorry she didn't buy the LG500G the night she bought hers. So with that being said, go out and get yourself a great little phone. : )

(Sorry everyone, I was only able to find one pic on my computer from my phone. It was during Christmas (obviously) at my local SuperKmart store here in Port Huron, MI. Still, you can see quality and clarity with the pic. Not bad at all. I thought me posting it to my blog would make it all pixelated or out of focused, not at all. Not even downloading from my email after sending it there from my phone destroyed the picture. Now that's quality!)

There is only one draw back to the LG500G. You need to look for a third party who offers the software for downloading and uploading media to the phone from your computer. I sometimes will take a picture and send it to my alternate email at Mail.com. It's only takes 1.00 unit to do that, but if you are like some people who really like traveling, taking pictures and videos that 1.00 unit will add up---fast! There is a cable that you can buy for about $12.00 on Amazon.com but as for the software that is a whole another fish to be caught. I'm still looking about the Internet for a reputable download app site that will either give me the software free or for a few bucks but won't drain my wallet. So if you come up with one I can check out, let me know.  Hope you enjoyed reading this blog post of the LG500G. There are more reviews where that one came from, so stick around!

Website Review: Sara Lee Deserts

I recently reviewed a product by the Sara Lee company, their new Banana Cream Pie. Awful desert but their web site is a different story, talk about delicious! The website http://saraleedesserts.com/ is loaded with helpful how-tos, recipes, pictures of their better tasting desert pies and cakes and more all wrapped up nicely in a well detailed and easy to navigate website. Not to mention loads of other features such as their blog that is more than tantalizing to read; it really makes want to run right out the the store and buy their whole product line, with exclusion of their banana cream pie.

If you want to browse through this after dinner friendly website you can log on at http://saraleedesserts.com/ Enjoy your taste journey through a website of after dinner heaven.

Product Review: Sara Lee's New Banana Cream Pie.

Okay, this post will be very short, so I'm just going to get to the point. I recently bought a Sara Lee's Banana Cream pie thinking that their other pies were really good so why not give it a try. Well I'm sorry I did. If you're going to buy any kind of pie from this company stick with the cheese cake. What really shocked me was my brother didn't even like the pie when I asked him how it was, and he eats usually anything, but he's never going to eat this ever again.

I'm not posting this to rip the company down my family and I have bought Sara Lee's products before thought out the years, but this pie has to be one of their worst. Still, this is only my option as a review of this product, and quite frankly I don't like it. Still if you like to give it a try, go ahead a buy it and do your own review of the product. One of their bests has to be the french style cheese cake along with their strawberry cheese cake. But I'll make my own banana cream pies or buy Marie Calendars. : )

Product Review--Biore's blemish fighting ice cleanser.

Do you read the labels of the products you're curious about? How about if the product proudly displayed an award from a glamor/beauty magazine like allure? Well, if you're like me this is very unimpressive, I mean we all can make words say what we want, right? So when I read on the label on a bottle of Biore's acne wash that this particular product had editors choice award from allure magazine for 2009,  I wasn't sure what to make of it. So I bought the product.

Okay, long story short, I've suffered with acne since I was ten years old and I was never able to find a product on the market that worked for me; nope, not even Proactive worked for me. So to test Biore's product I spent the $6 for it and washed my face that night. In the morning it was definitely clearer! I couldn't believe it! Most of my acne that I suffered with since the early 1990's was virtually gone! The fragrance and cooling affect is a real stress reliever, so it was a must for me at night. It doesn't over dry your skin but you do feel a noticeable sense of 'clean'.

This product is the real deal if you have skin that will tolerate and very receptive to it. It worked for me and my skin type and I will continue to buy this particular product for as long as they make it. It's worth to give it a try, if you're not happy with it you can always send it or take it back.

Product Review--Citrus Magic(c) fabric and air odor eliminatior

Okay, now for an air freshener/odor eliminator. We see these on the market but not quite sure how well they work. Even if the product is not all what it's cracked up to be after purchase, you are covered by the stores policy of returns, so I would highly recommend taking the store up on that offer. I know from experience that some stores are sticklers when it comes to product returns, but nevertheless, you should take the product back to the store, or send it back the the company if you are totally satisfied with the product. If you read the labels of many products out there they may have a money back guarantee if you are 100% satisfied with the products. Still, if reading product reviews make the shopping easier and hassle free, than by all means keep reading these; I'm sure you'll find loads of inspiration in the paragraphs below.

I have three, no wait, two cats? Or is it six? I had one cat but now in 2012 I ended up taking care of six, one is a neighbor's cat who made his home at mine. So I needed an air freshener that made me forget I even had animals in or about the house. I saw Citrus Magic(c) products in the pet aisle of my local store and read the label, then at the price. It's not to bad starting at $4.88 to $6. But is it worth that much for an air freshener you may not use all the time or, like me, all the time? It's a great product and the fresh orange/lemon fragrance is concentrated so it lasts for a few hours after spraying. I like the product and will continue to buy it for as long as they make it. This product was made for those really tough odors like pets. This product isn't like those by Glade(c) or Fabreze(c), even though they are good products, well some of them are, but Citrus Magic(c) is by far the best if you are trying to freshen a room from baby or pets. It's well looking into if you have those type of tough orders and need immediate nose relief. You can find it at any store online or off, or you can visit them at www.citrusmagic.com The company even makes odor eliminating solids, which I'm going to be trying within the next month, so look for that in my February blog product reviews. Other products that Citrus Magic(c) makes (including sprays in different fragrances) are also available on their web site www.citrusmagic.com

Product Review--Sakar International, Inc.'s digital camera.

You may have seen these at Wal-Mart or other stores like it, but if you haven't, don't worry about it. The bottom line of this camera by Sakar International Inc. digital camera is--IT STINKS! The POOREST quality of all starter cameras out there, and I'm not even sure if this camera was meant to be a starter? Paying $20.00 for something this poor of quality isn't the best game on the field and I suggest not to ever buy this product if you should come across it. I'll give more detail on product and model no. at the end of the review.

What makes this product so CRAPPY? Well, I'll tell ya! It's flimsy, takes horrible pictures and eats batteries like mad. So if you are someone who likes thin plastic cameras, bad blurry, out of focused pictures that don't turn out, and can buy batteries or use re-chargable batteries then this is your camera. But me and many others out there, we take pictures to remember a place we enjoyed visiting or to have a great visual memory for those scrap books. Isn't that why many of us take pictures? To remember something that is of value to us? If you answered yes to those questions than a better camera for about the same price of this crappy thing, is the Emerson HD 720p camcorder. The Emerson does not just only take pictures but it take video as well, is great on batter power so it is ideal for travel and the with use of a memory card you're in business. But the Sakar camera I won't even give to a photography student! Plus, digital amongst many of the students and photo artists is the enemy, but if it's all you got or can afford and not really going to be doing photography for business than any digital camera would be good, as long as it has the features you're looking for and/ or the quality you're looking for in how it takes pictures and the other nine yards. 

Even though it does come a vague owner's manual and transfer cable, this product is not worth your money or time, but that decision is still yours for it may differ from mine.

Product Review--Anti-Fog Spray.

Yes, you read that right, Anti-Fog Spray. I had a question mark over my head when I seen this on the shelf of my local dollar store. If you haven't seen this product, start looking for it. It is a solution that is sprayed on any surface you have problems with foggy condensation, otherwise known as 'steaming', such as car windshield, bathroom mirror after a hot shower, your glasses or any other surface that is either glass or strong plastic that you may need to see out of or into.

It works fab! I like this product and I have to say for paying a buck for it, it's well worth it. It works to keep the surfaces from collecting foggy condensation. You spray it on, wait about 5 mins. or more depending on what the surface is and what the temp of it is. It may take longer to dry on cold surfaces than warm or hot ones. Be careful not to breath the solution in and use in a highly ventilated area.

After the sprayed solution dries, take a soft cloth or paper towel and buff and polish the surface. It's sort of like waxing the surface so it doesn't fog up when you need to see out or into that surface. Even though I bought it at a dollar store, I am most impressed with this and would recommend it to anyone. As always read directions on the package. It's a dollar tree brand product so no other name or company resides on the label. If you have a local dollar tree in your town or you like to shop online, try finding this product there. If you go to the brick and mortar store, which means to go to the store in person, look for it in the automotive aisle, if you are looking for it online, type in the search box Anti Fog Spray and you should come up with it. It's only a dollar so it's worth a try and should work great as long as you follow company directions, since it is their product and they are the ones who 'some'what know how their product works. So you really don't have much to lose, but still, every person differs in opinions but you'll never know what this product can offer until you try it for yourself.
