For baking
My husband and I use Splenda period. No sugar in our house, helps with his diet, he can sweeten his iced tea and hot tea ect. I don't mind it so much, I dislike how it fizzles when I put it in my tea.

I've found with baking it depends on the "role" of the sugar in the baking. In shortbread cookies, I opt for real sugar or the half an fhalf splenda because the cookie looses it's texture and is too dry. but for other bakings, like apple pie ect. it's very nice, and works real good with any diabetic recipie.

Splenda is splendid!
I use Splenda (yellow packets) all the time (individual serving packets).I like it better than Equal (or blue packet generics), which I like better than Sweet N Low (pink).Splenda does not seem to have the strong taste in coffee that the blue or pink products have.It disolves well in cold drinks, much like the others do.I have not tried the bulk product in baked items, since it is still a bit expensive.I also like to use the individual servings on grapefruit to sweeten it.This is really a great product for those watching their calories (or Weight Watcher Points in my case), and still wanting something sweet.I also recommend any of the new drinks or candies sweetened with Splenda, as they also seem to be consistently good tasting. ...

I thought that the Band-Aid Blister Block product ...
I thought that the Band-Aid Blister Block product was pretty good. Instead of using it on the heel of my foot as shown on the package, I used it between my thumb and index finger under my work gloves. Then I went out to rake my lawn for the first time this year. It was the first time that I didn't get a blister from spring lawn cleanup! I was a little disappointed to see that there are only four cushions to a package. I'd probably buy these on my own as long they were on sale.

I was really skeptical, but this product actually ...
I was really skeptical, but this product actually worked pretty well. I have a pair of walking shoes that tends to leave a blister on one heel. I used it and didn't get the blister. I had a problem getting the thing to stick properly. The adhesive wasn't that great, especially if the shoe was tight. I had to adjust it a couple of times and then make sure I put my shoe on carefully so it didn't scrunch up. Once the strip was in place properly it worked pretty well. I'd recommend them if you have shoes that give you blisters. I'm not sure I'd wear them on sling back shoes since it's rather large. I'd like to see them in smaller sizes just for that purpose.

I thought this Blister Block would be similar ...
I thought this Blister Block would be similar in performance to a bandage, but I was pleasantly surprised. They are very comfortable and smooth. I tried these out on my ankle while walking in a pair of uncomfortable sandals. They worked great. They felt very smooth and they are so thin they stuck well to my skin. I highly recommend these. I can't wait to try them with my hiking boots or when skating. Those are times when I'm prone to get blisters, but I don't think I will if I'm wearing Blister Block!

I'd highly recommend this product to friends and ...
I'd highly recommend this product to friends and family. With the breaking in of new shoes, I can always count on a blister -- not anymore! My heel was protected and comfortable. The adhesive stayed put and didn't shift. I have a wedding this weekend with new shoes. Being eight months pregnant, you can bet I'll be wearing my new Band Aid Blister Blocks. My feet will be the only thing comfortable!

STAY IN CONTROL...
The One Touch Ultra Control Solution is a needed item when using a blood meter.

The control solution is used each time a new test strip container is opened.Only a couple of drops are used each time when testing.The control solution will show if the new test strips will register within the control solutions test range.

Testing is done as if you were testing a drop of blood, but instead you are using a strip from the new container of test strips, and a drop of the control solution.The Ultra Control Solution is red and contains an amount of sugar.The blood meter will then show the solutions sugar count, which is then compared with the given range on the back of the new strip container.If the sugar number is within the range shown on the new container of strips, then a good reading will happen when you are testing your blood.

Check your blood meter to make sure you are using the correct test strips and control solution
for your meter. ... Read more

Great product, don't get them wet!
To be honest, these bandages aggravate me.It seems like my hands are almost always in water and these guys, well, just fall off when they get wet.There's no water sparing on this product at all and when you're a busy mom with a cut or something on your hands, you need something that's going to stick.You can always tell whenever I have a cut because there are bandaids all over the house that have fallen off unnoticed.Otherwise, they do a good job in protecting wounds. ...

Great product!
These are great pads.They do, however, leave fibers behind if you're using them for eyemakeup remover. I use them primarily for my freshener.They're so much more absorbent than regular cotton balls and it doesn't get all over your hands.As an added plus, if you have a Persian cat, they're fantastic for cleaning their ears and their eyes.They don't scratch as much as tissues do and they absorb more of the liquid.My cat sure likes them!

These little cotton squares did exactly what they were supposed to, without the messiness of a cotton ball. I used them with my facial cleanser, and they did the trick! I will definitely buy them again!

I have always insisted on using 100% cotton ...
I have always insisted on using 100% cotton ""cotton balls"" -- none of the beauty puffs or whatever they're called. The cotton really makes a difference. As such, I was impressed with these cotton squares. In several uses (especially removing nail polish!) they were handier and more effective than my usual cotton balls. If they weren't more expensive (almost twice the price), I'd use them for all my usual cotton ball needs, but as such, I'll save them for where they really do the best work (nail polish removal and makeup removal).

My opinion of The Johnson & Johnson 100% ...
My opinion of The Johnson & Johnson 100% Cotton Squares is neutral. They're pretty much a flattened cotton ball. I tried them with my astringent and make-up removal and application. I noticed that it took a little longer to apply my make-up evenly seeing that they don't have a smooth surface. You get 80 in a package, which is a good amount
