We've had this stove for several years now and it's still going strong. We've got a 1700-sqft home that's not insulated quite as well as it should be, and I can maintain comfortable temperatures with minimal fuss. Generally use our furnace only for air circulation and not actual heating, which saves tremendously on gas costs. There is a small learning curve in getting a good, consistent burn going. Took a while for me to catch on that while nice rolling flames are nice, it's when there's a nice bed of glowing coals that the heat output is best.

I've been wanting to get a blackhead remover kit for some time and when I came across this dermatique five piece blackhead remover kit, I was pretty easily sold on it. It arrived on time and was well packaged. As soon as I got it I immediately sterilized all five pieces in boiling water. I've only used a couple of the tools but they work surprisingly well. So, I'm quite pleased with this set. It's much safer to use these tools than to use your fingers or finger nails... yikes. I'm hoping that this will help prevent acne scarring. So far so good, I've extracted a couple of pimples with the one that pierces and then when I've punctured it I then switch to one of the extractors and push out the trapped dirt and oil. And so far it doesn't seem to have caused too much redness afterwards and hopefully there won't be any scars.
