My son loves Winnie the Pooh. I never intentionally introduced him to Pooh because I never imagined he would be the type of kid to be interested in honey pots and a bouncing Tigger, but when we were at the library one morning he saw the video and grabbed it.
It is one year later and [...]

Maybe you’ve seen this shiny lipstick combination package on a store shelf and wondered if it was worth the price of around $12 (or if you find it on sale like I did for $6). You might be inclined to give it try (especially when it’s half-price) in hopes of the promised extra moisture to [...]

One of my friends at work gave me some small bottles of hand lotion to try out and the C.O. Bigelow Lemon Hand Treatment was one of them. My first reaction was lemon equals boring. But it smelled nice so I set it aside to try out when the lotions I knew better had run [...]

My sister just raves about her heated eyelash curler. So when my traditional “squeeze” curler disappeared, I decided to try it. I headed on over to Sephora and purchased one for $16. It’s a little more expensive than the regular ones but I was desperate, and it claimed to help stubborn straight lashes.
I liked that [...]

I recently received a BodyGuardz cover for my iPod Nano. BodyGuardz are plastic covers that protect your device from scratches and such. The concept is a good one and I was excited to get something that would protect my iPod from little fingers, and the abuse they can dish out. To make a very [...]

I am one for bargains and trying new things. I was able to satisfy both passions when I saw the new Diet Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper on sale and combined it with a $1.50 off instant coupon, which made it practically free. After chilling the can and drinking it over crushed ice I was seriously [...]

I have lived in the South and in the North. I appreciate that depending on where you live, you can order a hoagie, grinder or sub, and still end up with a very similar sandwich. I also realize that people in different regions, eat and drink things to the taste palette of the region. Sweet [...]

Recently, I was sent a bottle of Dawn Direct Foam to review. The claim is that you pump just one pump of foam onto the included (or any) sponge and it washes your whole sink of dishes. Here’s what I thought…
I received the fresh rapids scent and it was very light - hardly [...]

Picture standing in the Macy’s department store with your mother looking at purses when out of no where she says, “Let’s go try on bra’s together.” We’re close, but we’re not that close. She was talking about the Wacoal brand that she had seen Oprah list as a favorite thing.
After I got over the embarrassment, [...]

I am an occasional consumer of the goodies at Bath and Body Works. I love their stuff, it’s usually that I’m not at the mall when I need that sort of thing and then when I am at the mall I’m stocked up so timing is an issue. However, I was recently in [...]

I’ve always had hips, even before having a child. I’m also tall, so that creates a few issues when finding jeans. In the past I’ve found several favorite pairs that fit just right at Lane Bryant.
Imagine my surprise this weekend to find they had changed their jeans line and had a new measurement system. I [...]

I was amazed when I saw the newest flavor of pop tarts Kellogg’s had created. Their newest holiday treat is Gingerbread Pop-Tarts available only for a limited time (probably through the holidays). I’m hoping it is a once time performance.
Pop-Tarts have come a long way since they were first introduced. I can recall when we [...]

Recently, we spent several days vacationing in New Orleans, a first visit for myself to the city. I admit to not having high expectations since their recent disaster, but was surprised at the renovation work that has been done in the tourist areas. Unfortunately, when you travel a few streets over the scene looks like [...]

It isn’t a secret with my family and friends that I do not cook. I wish I had inherited the skills and desire of my grandmother, mother and aunt, but I didn’t. It’s just not my cup of tea.
My husband actually prefers it that I don’t cook. After we got married I made a meatloaf [...]
