I have owned three other scooters before this one, but my Kymco 200cc People S is the best by far!  It handles just as easily as a 50cc scooter, but with its 200cc engine can reach speeds of up to 65mph, depending on the weight of the rider, making it perfect for in town or highway trips.  The compartment under the seat is roomy enough to fit a helmet, goggles and a poncho or scooter ...

This is the best digital camera out there for taking a variety of types of professional grade photographs in my opinion.  While it is a little heavy to take on vacation, it can be set to automatic for snapshots, family pictures, or event photography, with one flip of a switch you can switch to manual.  There is also the option to use the automatic focus, which is extremely sharp and r...

I gave this as a gift to my husband two years ago, and we are still bragging about this ice cream maker.  The only downside is that it is an attachment, and you must already own a Kitchen Aid stand mixer.  Other than that, I have never made ice sream so fast, easy, and clean.  The bowl must be set in the freezer for at least 10 hours before making ice cream, and you simply replac...

Everyone who cooks should own a Kitchen Aid stand mixer.  So versatile, they can be used not only for mixing doughs for bread and cookies (one of the attachments is a dough hook), but also for whipping your own cream or even something as simple as mixing mashed potatoes.  It comes with a wire whisk attachment, a dough hook and a flat beater, and the neck unlocks to raise the attachmen...

This is my husband's most recent kitchen toy.  It can be used on solids and liquids and everything in between.  The blending rod and the wire whisk can both be used directly into a big bowl or pot on the stove to create smooth, creamy sauces.  I have even seen him use it to make a very large glass of Ovaltine or instant pudding.  The chopping bowl is a miniature food pro...

I have gotten boots from Aerosoles in the past, but these are the first pair that I have a love/hate relationship with.  They are comfortable, the leather upper is fairly fine quality and the stitching is pretty neat.  But the soles are a different story. The description states "-1" stacked heel and flexible rubber sole."  The rubber sole does not have enough tract...

I was excited to try Neutrogena's Mineral Sheers Foundation as an affordable alternative to other mineral foundation.  The price is right, but the make-up, if you can get it out of the container, does not apply as smoothly as Bare Minerals does, for example.  I would have finished using the foundation if only I could get it out of the applicator and onto my face with ease, but it ...

I wear contacts, so I only use products like Almay and Neutrogena near my eyes, since they are typically the most gentle.  I was excited to try this eye shadow as an inexpensive alternative to other mineral make-up.  The cute container has a slide back top covering the two colors instead of the traditional hinged lids (the kind that always snap off and break).  The color I have, ...

I am notone to spend this much on moisturizer.  But in the interest of switching to more cruelty free and fair trade products, I started using many of this company's bath and beauty products last June.  They do not test on animals, and don't use ingredients that have been.  My skin has never been softer, smoother and looked better. I have fewer breakouts since I began to ...

Having bought myself a large motor scooter earlier this year, I went shopping for a pair of quality riding gloves to wear now that the weather has gotten colder.  I looked at Banana Republic, Coach, and Wilson's but the only store that carried gloves large enough for my long fingers and wide hands was Brook's Brothers.  Now I am glad that none of the other stores had my size, ...
