The truth is, it is not. There is no cure-all for stretch marks, except maybe surgery. Strivectin does, however, increase tightness of the skin. It may lessen the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~460913348228 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 03:01:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_460913348228?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_460913020548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - My baby is 2 weeks old and I don't know what I would do without this chair! I take it into the bathroom when I shower, so I can keep an eye on my baby at all times. What would I do if I didn't have it? It's not like you can just set the baby on the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~460913020548 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 02:53:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_460913020548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441995792004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - I've been through it with sippy cups. Seriously, I've purchased all sorts of brands and styles and this is one of the worst ever. I bought these cups partly because they don't require any additional parts. It is just the cup and the top. No... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441995792004 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:16:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441995792004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441277845124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - This is the perfect Sesame Street video for the Elmo lover out there. It features lots of Elmo footage, including an entire skit where Elmo and Grover travel back in time to see the Sesame Street of Past. It is touching, in that it Elmo realizes he... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441277845124 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 17:37:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441277845124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441276599940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - If you have a Palm Centro, you NEED this case. Not only does it keep the body of the Centro safe from nicks and scratches, but it keeps the face clean and protected, as well. Essentially, it turns the Centro into a flip phone, which is nice because... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441276599940 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 17:17:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441276599940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441264606852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - If you're in Seattle for a few days and have a car, the MarQueen is a wonderful place to stay. Centrally located in the Queen Anne district, this hotel offers an oasis far enough away from downtown to avoid super touristy people/attitude/scenes, while... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441264606852 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 15:52:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441264606852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441245142660?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - My mother in law bought a Skuut bike for my son (2 1/2 years old). It's a little wooden bike with no pedals. I didn't understand the point at first, but my son loves it. And he doesn't quite fit on a tricycle yet. His legs aren't long enough to reach the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441245142660 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:39:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441245142660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441138450052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - I had the same problem as many people with pets: too much hair, not enough suction. My old vacuum worked well for a while, but like most, crapped out after about two years. Here's the issue: I have 2 dogs and 4 cats. While all the animals aren't in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441138450052 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:26:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441138450052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425258815108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - The first thing I noticed about this watch was that taking your heart rate was super easy, which appealed to me right away. When I'm working out, I don't want to have to wear any extra clothing or any burdensome accessories such as chest straps or wires... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425258815108 Mon, 7 Apr 2008 15:50:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425258815108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425257963140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - Who says just because you're a jock you can't have any style? I've recently started a "boot camp" exercise routine that has gotten me up and out of the house early each morning to work out for one-hour increments. Since I've started the grueling yet... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425257963140 Mon, 7 Apr 2008 15:34:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425257963140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_411146620548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - The Hotel De Anza is a beautiful hotel and a pleasurable one at which to stay.

It was really nice to get the "other" side of the story, that which The Wicked Witch of the West never got to tell in The Wizard of Oz. I'm not usually a fan of fantasy novels, but this one, as with all... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410714541700 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 02:35:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410714541700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410692914820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - Everyone can appreciate the ideal French atmosphere. You know, the little cobblestone streets, sipping cafe au lait, shopping for baguettes, drinking red wine and tasting chocolate. It's kind of the perfect life, don't you think? But is it just a fantasy... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410692914820 Thu, 13 Dec 2007 22:19:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410692914820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410648874628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - If you're looking for the most uncomfortable, irritating diaper ever, look no further. Huggies are the WORST and here's why: 1)They are stiff and don't have a lot of "play." You can immediately tell when you take one out of the package. They feel... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410648874628 Thu, 13 Dec 2007 14:40:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410648874628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410445516420?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - I stayed at the Pruneyard Inn in Campbell, California over the summer. Campbell is a cute town with a charming atmosphere and I can honestly say the same for the Pruneyard Inn. Before I even showed up, I called to ask some basic questions (check-in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410445516420 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 19:16:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410445516420?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410428739204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - I think the overall idea of this toy is great. What's supposed to happen is this: You drop each dolphin in its matching "raft," then connect the rafts to form a circle. Then you give each dolphin a tap on the head to hear a different note in an 8-note... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410428739204 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 16:09:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410428739204?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410424938116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - For parents who don't spend three hours a day watching Nickelodeon shows, this game offers no real sport. It's basically just a way for your kids to kick your butt in something and make them feel superior. Indeed, my son is superior, as he knows every... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410424938116 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 15:43:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410424938116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410183962244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - This book might be outdated, but its contents are never out of style. Everything comes back around anyway, right? Take Nicole Richie's huge Jackie-O glasses. That's what I'm talking about. Pot pies, casseroles...they're not out. If anything, they're... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410183962244 Sun, 9 Dec 2007 14:38:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410183962244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410180357764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - Mighty Leaf Tea Company is my favorite. I've tried most of their teas and I find them to be calming and tasty. They aren't overpowering, even when you leave the tea bag in the cup for too long. The general steeping time is 3 minutes on most of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410180357764 Sun, 9 Dec 2007 14:05:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410180357764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410141691524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - Fisher-Price makes some pretty good toys. This is one of them. I'm not falling over and doing somersaults for the thing, but there's no doubt - this toy is a darn good one. It's pretty self-explanatory. The "seat" of the toy opens so that your child... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410141691524 Sun, 9 Dec 2007 03:57:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410141691524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410092539524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - Yes, this book was found in the half-off bin at my college's student bookstore. Their loss, my gain. I adore this cookbook! It's not just a book of recipes. It's a book of stories (whether real or not, they're fantastic!) about the authors'... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410092539524 Sat, 8 Dec 2007 17:31:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410092539524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410092080772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - Why is Starbucks THE coffee spot. Oh, I remember, cuz there are tons of them, just about one on every corner where I live. Peet's Coffee is a bit harder to find. Well, a lot harder, actually, which is too bad because they have excellent espresso.

Score! I was attracted to it because of its bare bones exterior. Just a thick, glass container with a slim, stainless steel base. And, the best part,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410081529476 Sat, 8 Dec 2007 15:41:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410081529476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410021826180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - This book stands by what its title. It IS complete. A little too complete. But, I suppose I'm tainted after spending years as a vegetarian. Still, if you want to know how to cook sumptuous meat dishes, this cookbook is the one to have. Not only does... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410021826180 Sat, 8 Dec 2007 02:56:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410021826180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_404663799428?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author youdamom - I bought two packages of Dunkin' Donuts coffee after hearing all the buzz about how it was THE BEST coffee around. Even Consumer Reports was raving about it. I have a burr grinder and an automatic drip coffee maker.
