Karen’s Opinion

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PlayStation MOVE. All opinions are 100% mine.

I don’t care to play a game that requires me to work hard to benefit from it but I wouldn’t mind playing a game that gets me to move. I need the exercise! I sit at a desk most of my day and my butt shows it. When I am not working, I am sewing. Another butt builder activity. I need to get moving with the new PlayStation®Move. The Move is a gaming system that works with the PlayStation®3 system. It’s controllers are ergonomically designed to give the player the most control of any gaming system out there. That is what I need! I tried the one I had bought before Christmas and I was not coordinated enough to get it to work for me. That was so frustrating that I gave up and sold it.

The new PlayStation®Move is just what my doctor ordered. Yes, just today, I went to the doctor for a routine check up and I we discussed how I would probably feel better if I exercised. The PlayStation®Move has a bowling game that looks like something that even I could learn to play and have fun with.

Whatever your skill level, PlayStation®Move will want you to have friends over to get moving. I can see it becoming the highlight of our week. Sony has made adding MOVE to your gaming system affordable. The MOVE bundle package allows you to add MOVE to your system for the low cost of $99! At that price, we can all get moving!

I never thought I would ever compare myself with Dolly Parton but, after watching an interview with her on television, I found out that we have something in common. We do not go out in public without makeup. No way, no how. If the smoke alarm started shrieking in the middle of the night, this mama would have to grab her makeup bag.

Wearing makeup has its responsibilities. The wrong type of makeup worn year after year can have damaging effects on your skin. That is why it is important to use natural products such as those from Bottega Verde. Their Italian Beauty Package offers high-quality cosmetics based on natural active ingredients. I am anxious to try their Almond line because it hydrates and moisturizes the skin. My skin tends to be dry and I love all the products in this line because they are promoted as nourishing and gentle. Their products have a light scent that is not over powering.

Visit their website at http://www.bottegaverde-usa.com/Italian-Beauty-Package.html to see what Italian women have been enjoying for many years. You can even sample a few of their products for a small shipping fee.

From Tuscany, Italy and finally to the United States, Bottega Verde will become your favorite cosmetic supplier.

I have always purchased my makeup at department stores. I never liked paying the high prices but thought I had to pay the price for quality makeup. I shudder to think how much money I have spent over the years for foundation, mascara and eye shadow. I would buy blush at the drugstore but foundation and powder had to be the good stuff. I was afraid to buy cheap eyeshadow because it might cause eye infections.

After searching for a product that was of high quality but at an affordable price, I was introduced to BH Cosmetics. Their products feature the latest pallets of color yet are very economical. They are interested in saving their customers money while giving them the best quality products. BH Cosmetics eyeshadow is "highly
pigmented", bendable with strong staying power

I am very picky about what I put on my skin and want products that moisturize and look natural. BH Cosmetics products are just that. Their eye shadow is highly pigmented and bendable and that means they won’t make unnatural creases on my eyelids. They come in so many pallets of matte and shimmering color that it is easy to match tones and blend colors to match my outfits. They blend well and their stay power means they don’t flake. They are long lasting yet feel light and soft. The cost of the huge pallet is so good that I can afford to buy the lip pallets as well.

Check for yourself and see the different pallets of color you will be anxious to try. Check out BH Cosmetics.

Thankfully, we have chosen to purchase organic milk and eggs since watching the movie, Food Inc. Many are having to check their egg cartons to see if they fall into the category of recalled eggs.

You can check to see if your eggs are the ones on the list by going to Food Safety. I garnered the following information from that website.

Dates and codes can be found stamped on the end of the egg carton or printed on the case label. However, not all affected brands will be printed in the same order. Typically, the plant number begins with the letter P and then the number. In most cases the Julian date follows the plant number, for example: P-1720 223. If your carton has a combination of numbers that matches the affected plant number AND Julian date, your eggs are affected in the recall. Using the example above, P-1720 223 may appear on some cartons as 223 #1720, 1720 223 or other variations. It is important to note that both the plant number and Julian date must match. If the Julian date does not match the affected plant number than your eggs are not involved in the recall.

I feel like a new person! I finally got new prescription glasses that fit me. My old glasses had scratched lenses and were so bent out of shape that I would get headaches while wearing them. These new frames are sturdy and hold their shape. I haven’t been reading in bed lately but I have an idea that they will withstand that test of holding their shape during that time too. I am hard on frames. I admit it! The expense of new glasses has kept me in my old ones far too long.

Now that I know how good these new glasses feel, I am interested in getting prescription sunglasses. I like being able to wear prescription sunglasses. Not switching from glasses to sunglasses, keeps me from getting headaches.

I checked prices at our local optometrist and they want way too much money even by offering a 50% sale because I purchased my glasses from them. I prefer ZenniOptical’s pricing. At Zenni, full UV protection tinted lenses are very affordable. Enough so that I can get two pair! Or I can get sunshades that fit right on my prescription glasses. Now, I just have to decide which frames to get! Decisions, decisions. LOL
