A few weeks ago, I received a Schick Intuition shaver in the mail. Oooh, a freebie! Let me confess that I wouldn’t actually buy a Schick product under normal circumstances, as they are a company which tests its products on animals. But I figured that it would be wasteful not to make good use of [...]

There are two kids of advertisements on TV for bras. First you get the writhing, sex-obsessed hot babes in their Victoria’s Secret demi-bras with the matching underpants. The models look like they haven’t eaten a real meal in years, and oh, those silicone enhanced boobs. I don’t think those are the bras for me.

I was recently invited to sample some Folger’s coffee. Coffee? COFFEE? Sign me up! I’m all about the coffee!
Soon thereafter, I received three bags of Folger’s Gourmet Selections coffees to try — Lively Colombian, Morning Café and Vanilla Biscotti. Since I’m not a huge fan of flavored coffee, I let my friend Wendy sample the [...]

Seriously, these little metal tins (think little pie tins in fun and seasonal shapes) are awesome. You can bake cookies in them OR brownies OR little cakes OR whatever else you [...]

I have a confession. I’m a product ho.
I was recently asked to sample Yoplait Whips yogurt and naturally I jumped at the chance to get my hot little hands on some free yogurt.
Why? Because I love being part of the action and having a voice and helping to shape the marketplace blah blah blah…
