This little cell phone has been a trusty companion of mine for the past year.  Although I'm a big fan of electronic gadgets, I don't like spending big bucks, so I wanted something in a reasonable price range when I started looking for a phone.  I found the Nokia 6235i for about $70 (with contract extension.) Size was important to me, and that's one of my favorite things ab...

Okay, now it might be weird for a girl to use a man's deodorant -- but that's just how good this product is.  I was tired of all those flowery, girly-scented antiperspirants and thier "empowering" messages.  I needed to get in touch with my masculine side and Old Spice Red Zone deodorant is exactly how I did it. The Soft Solid variety is pretty much magical.&nbs...

I had noticed all the coffee I drink was starting to take a toll on my teeth, so I went to the store to find a whitening-specific toothpaste.  I was first attracted to both Crest Vivid White's stylish packaging and its recognizable brand name.  I figured it was worth a shot and purchased it. Turns out I made a good decision!  The Invigorating Mint taste is pleasant and r...

Last week I came home to see that my brother had tracked in mud all over the carpet.  After I killed him, I went straight for the Resolve carpet cleaner!  Nervous about whether this would work to remove this terrible stain, I read the directions and was pleased to find how easy it was to use.  Just spray, wait a few minutes, and blot with a clean cloth.  I thought, "cou...

I had seen the commercials for Febreze Air Effects advertising its ability to "trap stale odors and leave a fresh scent."  I like to cook, so I thought this would be the perfect thing to get rid of all the food smells I don't want lingering around my house.  Unfortunately, this product was a waste of money.  It did the exact thing the commercials said it wouldn'...

I'm certainly no expert on hair products, so when I picked up a bottle of John Frieda's Smoothing Milk, I didn't know what to expect.  I just wanted something that would tame my slightly frizzy/wavy hair.  I was impressed with the list of ingredients, which include "silk protein, cocoa bean, and tea leaf infusion."  I was pleasantly surprised to find that wh...

I suffer from really bad allergies in the sumer and fall, so I'm an expert on tissues.  I've used just about every brand out there, and so far the best brand I've found is Puffs Plus with Lotion.  Puffs Plus are eveything you could want in a tissue.  Super absorbant, strong, and the best part -- there's lotion in the tissue!  I don't know how they do it, ...

Unfortunately, I have pretty oily skin.  I've used a million different cleansing products that claim to get rid of shine, but nothing seems to work.  That's why I'm glad I found Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets. These things are miracle workers, I'm telling you.  They come in little packages of 50 sheets and cost around $5.  All you do is take a sheet, ...

Nag Champa is the best incense ever. You can find it in its characteristic blue box in a variety of places, from smoke shops to exotic import stores to head shops to liquor stores.  The price is alway very reasonable -- no more than a few dollars per box, which should last you quite a while.  Nag Champa has a really nice, sweet, herbal scent that will eliminate any unwanted odors that...

I recieved this tuner for free about 8 years ago when I got my first guitar and have been using it ever since. It's a relatively low-end tuner, but it will work perfectly for a beginning or intermediate player.  It's lot an LED screen with a needle that moves back and forth depending on how sharp or flat your note is.  This tuner automatically knows which string you'r...

There's a reason Sharpies are known as some of the best pens in the world.  With the Sharpie Twin Tip Marker, the posibilities are practically endless!  The larger of the tips, the "fine tip" is basically the "original" Sharpie tip that you're probably used to.  It can make broad, bold lines, as well as finer ones.  The small tip, the "ultra ...

I have been a seasonal allergy sufferer my whole life. I've tried just about every allergy medication out there with just about no luck -- that is, until I tried Equate Allergy & Sinus Medication, Wal-Mart's antihistamine/nasal decongestant pill. Almost every time I use this medication (once every two weeks or so, when my allergies get bad) it dramatically lessens my symptoms. ...

 I have never really used a mouthwash regularly before because I didn't like the alcohol burn that most varieties have.  When I saw this "alcohol-free" mouthwash, I decided to give it a shot.  When I tried it, I noticed that there is a slight burn, but it's nothing unpleasant.  My mouth felt very clean afterwards, and the taste was nice, a lot like a strong...
