You need a prescription to get latisse

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

Before you get all excited about being able to grow your eyelashes with the new product from allergan, you’re going to need a prescription to get latisse. Latisse is a product that the company Allergan has produced based on a drug that’s used to treat glaucoma. After they realized that one of the side-effects of the drug was eyelash growth the petitioned the FDA to get approval for a product based on lumigan. The product will be called latisse and marketed an effective eyelash growth product. It’s really for people who need it, like patients who lose their eyelashes due to chemotherapy; but of course many women who want longer eyelashes for reasons to do with vanity will be wanting to get their hands on the product.

My new bamboo bath towels

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

I’ve recently purchased one each of the lagoon, oatmeal, palm and espresso Pinzon Bamboo Cotton Towel from amazon and I absolutely love these towels. If you’re shopping for towels I’d defintely recommend these, but I’d also recommend you don’t take just my word for it. Read the other customer reviews on amazon for other opinions.

I would definitely agree that these towels are wonderfully soft. The manufacturers say they are made of superior fiber and I would definitely agree, but I’m no expert on fibers and how to verify that something is made of superior fiber so don’t swear by my word. These towels definitely feel luxurious against the skin, almost silky; and they look absolutely rich and fabulous.

What? You haven’t gotten a kindle yet?

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

I don’t have a kindle but I want one. I don’t have one because I’m not making enough money from my writing gigs to be able to afford one; but the minute I can afford to invest in a kindle I will definitely be getting one for myself and it’s not because thousands of people have raved about it. Before they invented kindle I wanted kindle. The ability to read and interact with what I’m reading is what I’m most interested in. Let’s say I’m reading a book and I come across a word that I don’t know the meaning of. Usually I would just keep reading on because, who wants to keep getting up and going to get a dictionary for every word they come across that they don’t know? Kindle has a built-in dictionary so you can more easily look up the meanings of unfamiliar words. Buy Kindle: Amazon’s Wireless Reading Device

As a writer I’ve always encountered situations where I’m reading and I come across a clever sentence that I think to myself would be useful to save for later reference when I’m writing. Kindle’s bookmarking and annotation feature would be perfect for me in that case. Or just the search feature would work as well. Can you imagine if you don’t remember what page something was on, turing page after page of a book trying to find a particular word or phrase?

I’ll still buy regular books without question; but having one device from which you can access thousands of books and being able to interact with the book you read is something I definitely look forward to enjoying. Want to buy me a kindle?

What in the world is ooma Core VoIP Phone System

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

So I’m over on amazon.com and I see this contraption with the words ooma Core VoIP Phone System with No Monthly Phone Service Bills. Of course the No Monthly Phone Service Bills catches my attention sort of like

No Monthly Phone Service Bills!!

But or course I’m not naive and I know it doesn’t mean I can have phone service for free. Now wouldn’t that be cool; but right now I’m paying something like $175 - 225 per month for Comcast phone/cable/internet service. If I could reduce that I certainly wouldn’t hesitate.

After listening to the ooma video though I’m not sure how it would work for me. The service sounds really innovative, and I like the idea of taking power away from the phone company; but even if I switched to ooma I’d still have to pay for high speed internet and cable.

Just from a quick read it does seem like this system can save you a lot on your phone service. You literally only purchase the system it seems. As a matter of fact, if I’m not misunderstanding what I’m reading, you don’t even have to sign up for their premier service. You can have unlimited free phone service with just the system alone.  You spend $229 for the system, hook it up to your high speed Internet and that’s all you have to pay unless you want their enhanced feature in which case you pay $99 per year.

Hmm, I wonder how much it would save me if I did this. Let’s see, right now I’m paying $49.39 per month for comcast digital voice. If I buy the ooma system and subscribe to their premier services I’ll spend a total of $328 for the first year, $229 to purchase the system and $99 for a year of the premier service. At the current rate of $49.39 per month, I’m paying amazon $592.68 per year for their digital voice service. Add the digital voice to the high speed internet and the cable plus the monthly surcharges and other fees and I’m looking at 2086.68 per year. Take out comcast digital voice and out in ooma and that drops to $1593 thereabout. This computes to paying $173.89 per month using comcast digital voice, and paying $132.75 per month using ooma. I’d be saving $41.14. Now, considering things like international calls and other factors not being held in account, the savings could end up being even less; so I’d have to look for other things to cut back in order to make it personally worth the switch; but the phone companies are never looking for ways to help their existing customers save. What they say in the ooma video is very true. They try their best to lock you in and keep you locked in. I should probably do some shopping around to see how I can bring my monthly phone, high speed internet and cable service bills down to about $100 per month.
