Stretchy Hair Ties Review

Stretchy hair ties are pre tied in to a loop, that you stretch around your hair and put on like you were using a rubber band. They are, however, better for your hair than rubber bands. I have found them to be gentle on my hair, and they hold up their stretch quite well. I’ve been using mine for quite a few months, and they’re all working well. I have also hand washed some of them with foaming hand soap; which they have also held up well to.

I love seeing some of my artistic designs on my hair ties. It's a fun to enjoy my art. Zazzle is the print on demand company that I work in association with. The ones that you can order from Zazzle.com, come with the print on the outside. The colors appear somewhat lighter on these as the dyes are just printed on the outer layer. If you like fun artistic designs that you won't see elsewhere, then I recommend choosing from the many design options at Zazzle.

This is my favorite design from Zazzle so far. I like all the different colors.

Colorful Abstract Brushstrokes Hair Ties

by Cherylsart

I've ordered a variety of designs from Zazzle now, and really like the colorful ones.

I have found that the darker designs at Zazzle, like black, didn't show up quite as well as the more pastel ones did.

These hair ties are made from elastic ribbon.

Sportline Pedometer Review and Link to Purchase

I only recently purchased the Sportline Pedometer, but am impressed with what I have seen so far.

I used to have a non-battery powered pedometer, and it left quite a bit to be desired.

The latest pedometers are battery powered and tell you so much more than just the number of steps taken.

The Sportline 345 Pedometer gives readings for the steps taken, distance traveled, and calories burned.

It is very easy to set, just hold down the Mode/Reset button until it zeros out. It will start again at zero and begin counting once it notices movement. When you stop, just toggle through the Mode/Reset button to read the different displays. The numbers are easy to read.

This unit comes with a replaceable battery that is good for a year. The unit remains on in between uses.



I liked it so much, that I even designed My Walking Chart, which I shall soon order from Zazzle.

There are daily columns for # of steps taken, distance, calories burned, and also one for location. I thought it would also be nice to see if there was a difference in calories burned with a change of terrain.

I'd be interested to know your feedback on the chart design.

Thank you.

Goo Gone - a product review

The bumper sticker on my car was old and very faded. I applied one coating of the Goo Gone and waited a few minutes, per the instructions. After the initial wait, I was able to peel the vinyl like top coating.

A very sticky under layer remained. I applied a second coat and let it sit for a couple of minutes. It loosened it up quite a bit and I got a good amount of it off.

I applied a third coating of Goo Gone and waited another minute or so, and easily wiped the remaining sticky stuff away. Voila, all the sticky spots and signs of the old bumper sticker were gone.

I had a second smaller bumper sticker that I decided to remove. It hadn't been on the car quite as long, only around a year or two. That one only took two coatings of the Goo Gone for it to be wiped away. I again had to peel the vinyl type layer off first, and then did the second layer. That was all that one needed.

If you have a sticky residue on a hard surface to remove, I would recommend Goo Gone.
