So much nicer than drugstore soap!WOW! I'd previously used Oil of Olay with Shea Butter soap which kept my skin smoother than other drugstore soaps. However L'Occitane Milk Soap is just incredible - it has a soft delicate clean scent and unlike other bar soaps it doesn't soften/melt away when it sits in shower water. As a result it stays firm and lasts a really long time! This soap feels luxurious and relaxing. The texture of the soap is just perfect hard to describe but perfect! Well worth $10 per bar and would make great gifts. I am going to switch to this soap permanently and look forward to trying the Verbena flavor which got glowing reviews.

Best Soap I've FoundI first came across this product in a Four Seasons hotel. It was so good that I brought several home.
This is a hard-milled verbena (lemon scent) soap that rinses away cleanly and does not soften in the soap dish. As a result a bar of it lasts longer than other soaps. And you come away feeling (and smelling) clean.
At 8.8 ounces (over half a pound) the bar is larger than the average bath/shower soap which also helps it to last longer. If you'd prefer smaller bars buy L`Occitane - Shea Butter Extra Gentle Soap Verbena (Set of 2)
Use it once and you're hooked.
From the Label:
"Pure vegetable soap: inspired by the original recipe from the master soap maker L'Occitane has formulated this soap with an extra-gentle and vegetable base. Rich in softening and protective Shea Butter this soap's foamy lather gently cleanses the skin helping to preserve its natural moisture balance."

Best Handcream EverI have used numerous hand creams - Avon Eucerin Neutrogena Cetaphil. But on a recent trip to a big city (I live in a rural area) I walked into a L'Occitane store in a mall and the clerk asked if I wanted to try the hand cream. I agreed and was impressed right away. The smell is light and pleasant not overpowering and flowery. The cream absorbs into the skin quickly but still provides lasting protection. I've been using the cream 3 times a day for a week and my hands are as soft as my 2-year-old daughter's hands. I can't believe the change.
I felt a little guilty at first spending $21 on a tube of hand cream but I know I'll use every last drop and the tube will last a long time.

Feels goodI've been using this cream for a few weeks now and I have to tell you I really really LOVE it. I have oily skin and had concerns this product may not work but I've been proven wrong. It's absorbed nicely into the skin doesn't feel greasy or heavy. There's a scent to it I can't quite describe but I don't find it offensive or a turn off either. I have noticed a difference in my skin in the short time I've used it and it seems to have helped with my t-zone troubles as well.

Husband LOVES IT!I bought this shower gel for my husband because he LOVES the smell of Verbena. Most "Verbena" scents have other things like "lemon" or "lime" mixed in which he doesn't like. He just likes plain "Verbena" and L'Occitane has been the only brand that makes just Verbena. He uses it every day and comes out of the shower smelling wonderful.

Is this reissue worth it?Released this fall the "Christmas Story" collector's edition is really a 20th anniversary version of the classic. First let me say I can't believe it's been out for 20 years. I thought 12 at the most 15. Wow.
Briefly for readers who may not be intimately acquainted with the film I strongly encourage you to purchase "A Christmas Story" and make it a regular part of your holiday routine. It will grow on you with each viewing and you'll soon find its one-liners making their way into your everyday vernacular. Which version should you get? That's why you're reading this review.
The original DVD release of "A Christmas Story" had no extra features. Nothing. No commentaries no interviews no documentaries. Just the movie. This was greatly disappointing since I'm a big fan and was interested in the making of the film what the actors are doing now etc. So naturally I was looking forward to this special edition.
Well I can't say I'm too satisfied with the reissue.
1. The documentary is very uninformative. The one positive aspect of it is the simple fun of seeing the actors all grown up. Ralphie is 30 now but looks about the same. Flick has changed more in his appearance and his career choices. (Career choices? You'll have to look that up yourself. It's not on the DVD and I'm not about to ruin Christmas for you.) There just isn't that much to glean about the movie from the special features. If you would like to know what Ralphie wanted for Christmas when he was 10 or what the worst Christmas present Schwartz ever got was then you'll likely be absorbed. I wasn't. What could've been an in-depth look at the making of this low-budget masterpiece intermingled with musings from the actors turned into a Nickelodeon-style "what's your favorite color" type of Q&A session. What was particularly annoying was the graphics and sound effects that the editors added (e.g. if Ralphie says "my mom put her foot down" there's a big crashing sound with a monolithic stone foot superimposed over him. Just stupid). Bottom line it's good for the serious fan who wants a peek at the grown up kids but beyond that it's useless.
2. The other "special features" are even more lame. There's a trivia challenge (yawn) a decoder game where you match the dialogue from the scene a history of the daisy rider BB gun and the original radio readings from Jean Shepherd (the narrator). You might do these once but it's nothing worth buying the DVD for.
3. The one bright spot is the commentary and if there's a reason to buy the special edition it's this. The director (Bob Clark) and Ralphie (Peter Billingsly) do provide some more insight into the making of the film and if you're the type that enjoys commentaries you'll find it's worth it.
4. Lastly I don't think the film was restored in any way. We're talking 20 years here. The film was pretty marked up and I was disappointed they didn't go to any effort to fix it in the 20th anniversary edition. For those of you that don't know (and don't worry I'll spare you the 1000 word treatise on the mechanics of film that another reviewer felt the need to share) artists go into the original film and frame by frame they remove specks of dust and dirt and in some cases they even add paint to touch up obvious artifacts. This apparently didn't occur in "A Christmas Story" and it badly needed it. This would've gone a long way to help the value of this DVD set.
So what's the bottom line? If you intensely love this movie and have for years then buy the DVD. It will be worth it. But if you're on the fence maybe you've already got the first issue of the DVD maybe you throw it in during the holidays then save your money. And if you're just getting into the movie and don't yet own a copy well you should probably get the reissue since we're only talking about a few dollars in price difference.
This review applies mostly to readers who already have the first release and are considering getting the new version. If the features I mentioned appeal to you then go for it. Otherwise you might be better off just sticking with the original release and using your 20 bucks to get the "Christmas Vacation" reissue which actually is worth it.More detail ...
