"Rubbermaid Car Floor Mats"

I recently purchased a new car and I wanted to insure my car floor remained clean.  I purchased a set of 4 Rubbermaid Floor Mats.  The set came with two larger and longer mats for both the driver and passenger side of the car.  It also came with two smaller, rectangular mats for the rear seats.  They are gray in color.These mats are for all weather conditions, thus they are heavy duty.  They are also ridged to trap sediment in the mat to prevent it from getting all over the car.So far I am hap...

"Epiphone AJ-100 Acoustic Guitar"

The Epiphone AJ-100 is the lowest priced acoustic guitar in the Epiphone line of instruments.  It is made of mahogany and has a classic dreadnought shape.  It has chrome haardware and a spruce top.There is nothing fancy about this guiatr, but it does the job.  I bought this guitar as a second acoustic to have lying around and something I don't care too much if it gets damaged or screatched.This would be a good beginners guitar and a good back up.  The sound it produces is surprisingly good for ...

"Specialized Hard Rock Mountain Bike"

When looking for a bike, I wanted something that could handle rugged terrain as well as smooth pavement.  Specialized is a very popular brand for mountain bikes and has a solid reputation, so I decided to go with that brand. The Hard Rock seems to be their entry level mountain bike, but still comes with some great features.  The main feature that allured me was the front suspension.  This feature on bikes seems to be a costly addition, so I was happy getting that feature.The color is black and grey...

"Rolex Datejust Men's Watch"

The Rolex Datejust Men's watch is a classic in the Rolex collection.  My watch is made of stainless steel, witha  white face and regular numerals on the face.The Rolex brand is a standard and one known for high quality.  I beleive Rolex lives up to this and is a quality time piece.The features of the Datejust is that the date can be set on the watch and is displayed at the three o'clock hour with a little magnification.  This has become standard on many watches.Some downsides of...

"Schwinn 6'' Combo Bike Lock"

I recently had to replace my bike lock and I noticed Target was having a sale on all their Schwinn accessories.  I found a 6'' cable lock that opens from a combination you are able to set yourself.  So far I have been pretty happy witht he lock.The lock comes with a mounting bracket that you are supposed to be able to mount to either the frame of your bike or your seat.  I tried mounting this and when mounted, it moved around too much, thus it was not a good idea to have it mounted.  I then simply wrap...

"Burley Bee Bike Trailer"

I have been looking for a bike trailer for my two year old daughter for quite some time.  I did a lot of research and determined Burley was the best brand, so that is what I decided to buy.  I was elated to find a used version of the trailer I wanted for a fraction of the new price.  When looking at it, I thought it was new.This is a one or two passender trailer, that holds a combined weight of 75 pounds.  It hooks up very easily to most bikes is really easy to use.  It collapses down nicely, which is goo...

"Gap Loose, Boot Cut Jeans"

I purchased a pair of Gap's Loose, Boot cut jeans in dark blue.  The reason I purchase Gap brand jeans is because I am short and they come in lengths that fit me.  In order to find these sizes I have to purchase them online.  This also means I usually get them cheaper than in the store due to the less popularity of the size I get.I generally like Gap jeans.  They are durable and come in a variety of colors and sizes.  They usually have a button fly or zipper fly option as well.  They do tend to w...

"Fender FM 65 Frontman Combo Amp"

The Fender FM 65 Frontman Combo Amplifier is a solid state amplifier with one 12 inch speaker and 65 watts.  It is black in color and has built in effects for the guitar.I purcahsed this amp because my normal amp is much too heavy to haul around.  I figured I'd get a solid state amp that I can easily haul with me whenever I want and to have a backup amp around.The amp certainly is loud enough and it is nice to have the option of the built in effects.  I am not impressed witht he sound quality of the...

"Truth by Calvin Klein"

I purchased a bottle of Truth by Calvin Klein in a 3.4 oz. spray bottle.  The bottle itself is an interesting slanted rectangle shape.  The color of the fragrance is green.The scents the go into Truth are green tea, jasmine and musk.  This creates a a very citrus like scent with a bit of spice.I like the smell of Truth, although I can only take it in small doses.  It is not something I would wear everyday, more like once a week.  When I do wear it, I do like it.The fragrance is qui...

"JVC - Marshmallow Ear Bud Headphones"

I searched high and low for some ear buds that would both sound good and be comfortable.  To add to my search criterea, they also had to stay in my ears, for they would primarily be used for running.  I was recommended the JVC - Marshmallow Ear Bud Headphones.  These are typical in their design and come with a replacement paid or foam ear buds.  So far I have been satisfied with them.  They do not compare in sound quality, to over the ear head phones and do lack some bass response, but overall the sound q...

"Black Decker 22 In. Hedge Trimmer "

When I bought my most recent house I needed an hedge trimmer for the many bushes that surrond the house.  I looked at many models and settled for one of the less expensive Black and Decker models.This is a pretty basic electric hedge trimmer.  The blades are 22 inches long is fairly light for a piece of power equipment.  It seems to do the job, but has trouble with thicker branches.  I was a bit surprised that it could not handle more.It comes with a safety switch, so it is not easily turned on by ...

This book is fascinating!Written by three former Presley bodygaurds and memebers of the 'Memphis Mafia," this book chronicles the other, much darker side of Elvis.  Told in first persona ccounts, the book chronicles many random situations Elvis found himself in throughout his years of fame.Before reading this book, I have heard and perhaps beleived many of the rumors about the eccentricities of Elvis.  Reading specific stories of his exploits were riviting.  The book chronicles his escapades wi...

I have been a long time runner.  I have tried many different brands of shoes throughout my years hitting the pavement.  The New Balance 998s have been the best pair of running shoes I have ever owned.These shoes are not necessarily the best looking shoes, but their comfort make up for it ten fold.  These shoes are the only ones that fit my feet the way a pair of running shoes should fit.I have owned both the blacka nd gray versions of this shoe.  The leather seems to be durable and the shoes h...

"2003 Fender US Standard Telecaster"

I purchased my US Fender Telecaster new in 2003.  It is sunburst in color with a buitiful flame.  I opted for the maple fret board as well.  The guitar comes stock with two Fender single coil pickups, a three way toggle switch, volume and tone knobs. I have found the quality of the American made Fender guitars to be superior to the Mexican versions of the same models.  The only thing I am not happy with on this guitar is the input jack.  It is very loose and if your guitar cable is not secured, it wi...

The Black and Decker 9.6 volt cordless drill is a fairly inexpensive drill that comes with a rechargable battery.  It is orange and color and comes with a nice, black carrying case to store the drill when not in use.The drill is simple to operate and runs in regular or reverse modes.  The battery holds its charge well and can be used right after charging it up.My only critique of this product is that it does not come with any drill bits.  You need to purchase the bits seperately.  i would like to s...

"Black and Decker Toast R Oven"

Recently our trusty toaster oven reached the end of its life.  This called for a replacement.  We ended up getting a Hamilton Beach 4 slice toaster oven as a gift and were excitited to have a new oven.  Well this unit was horrible.  It didn't maintain a constant temperature, so things got burnt and toasted unevenly.So we had to ditch the new unit and go get another one.  Our old unit was Black and Decker, so we got the cheapest one we saw.  I always opt for simplicity over many unneeded features....
