  • KlaszLady - Broad View of Italy

    This is an excellent book when used in conjunction with Steves' detailed editions for the cities you plan to visit. We used our Rick Steves' guides to Florence and Rome even more than this book. His guide books definitely made our trip more enjoyable and less stressful. We used his advice to book hotels, search for restaurants and find some "little known, but not to be missed" sites. The foldout maps included are excellent and come in handy when walking the cities. It was amazing how many people we saw in every town with a Steves' book in their hands. Hopefully, he will publish a full book on Sicily, because the sites in Sicily were the most memorable of our entire European trip and the people (except Palermo) were wonderful and so anxious to show us their island.

  • Krystle Scribner - He continued to take these for about 3 more days and then he stopped taking them because he said it felt like he had anxiety

    I purchased these fat burners for my husband because he is very active during the day but has to eat on the go rather regularly. The first two days he said he noticed more energy during the day which was a welcome effect. By the third day he said that he started to feel jittery and was in the bathroom more than normal. He continued to take these for about 3 more days and then he stopped taking them because he said it felt like he had anxiety. The good thing was that he said it definitely decreased his appetite and he did end up losing a couple pounds but the anxiety was getting to him.

  • Trainlover Clause - Great Program and getting better.

    Quickbooks is the 3rd book keeping software I have ever tried and love it. The instructions in the first version I bought were very in-depth and complete, and not only explained the workings of the program but also helped in explaining the process of book keeping and some of the tips and procedures needed to do efficient book keeping. The only problem I had was in the early versions it seemed the program was not geared toward service type business so much, but that has been addressed in the later versions. I now have QB 2013 and absolutely love it. Another thing I like is that the program gives you an option not only for feed back but also a place where you can give suggestions on how to improve the program. When I had 2010 I submitted a few improvements suggestions that were service business related and in the 2013 version, those improvements were in the program. There are many more features and things I love about Quickbooks that are too numerous to name here, but Quickbooks is the only book keeping program I will ever use.

  • Shelley Lambert - Be sure to haggle at the kiosk

    Do not pay full price because they can and will sell it for $40 if you stick to your guns. You can find it on Amazon for cheaper though. I finally gave in to the sales man and got it. I told him i know the whole sales ritual so dont even try to sell it for $80. He called me tough and gave me the "i like you" line. I spent $40 and got a soap "thrown in". Anyway, i like it so far even though i dont believe the peeling is from my skin. Still, it makes it smooth, clear and firmer feeling. I use Sweet Almond Oil (GNC) as a moisturizer and it works great together. Im only giving it 3 stars cause its still a new product to me.

  • Amazon Customer - Dont buy from top to bottom care

    Ive been using bio oil for more than a year. I purchased 2 of 4.2oz bio oil. Immediately upon opening the product, i knew it was fake. The plastic containers were all scratched up as if was re-used and filled up with bogus oil. The smell is waaaaayyy different, the consistency is different and its very greasy. Beware who you purchase is from. I will add photos of the package and the bottles later.
