Are you kidding me? When my friend was in a frantic rush to find a "simple gold men's wedding band" he nearly cried when I told him to go to .....KMART!?!?! Believe it or not, David was the third person I steered toward KMART with each person wanting a no frills band to get the ceremony rolling toward the reception.KMART has a wide selection of quality jewelry and more often ...

When you HAVE to poke yourself in the finger four times a day, it might as well be a quick, easy, and relatively painless process.Lifescan gave out thousands of their new Onetouch UltraMini glucose meters as an introduction to this fabulous new product. I was even one of the fortunate who got a handful of free test strips (which, by the way are expensive if you aren't insured).I love this m...

Boo!  That's what I have to say about this dog of a cellphone I am stuck with. When it was brand new in October of 2006, the T-Mobile saleswoman raved about it's features and reliability.  I am afraid I have more BAD to say aout this gadget than good. For starters, the reason I got that silly thing is for the "megapixel camera" application. Well, let me tell you...

When I wanted my boyfriend to quit smoking, I tried EVERYTHING but nothing seemed to work. We even went to one of those silly hypnosis sessions to no avail.However, one of my coworkers suggested we try the Habitrol Transdermal Nicotene Patch again, but this time, skipping step one, and starting with step 2.  Of course, I am no medical guru or shaman of smoking cessation, but this seemed to...

My daughter received this computer game for Christmas last year.  She found it to be too complicated, so I decided to give a try.  I've ALWAYS been a big fan of theme parks (most Disney theme parks), and I've always wanted to visit SeaWorld.  Oh my gosh, this game is SOOO much fun!  You literally build your own theme park almost from the ground up!  As your reve...

I've flown Southwest many, many times in the past few years and so far...never late!  Not a single time!  That's quite a plus in my book.  I love their website, it's so easy and simple to use.  Most people aren't big fans of their boarding procedures and not being able to select your seat; however, most of the time I travel alone, so my seat seletion isn'...

I purchased an iPod Nano for my daughter this past Christmas.  It is the 1 gig and silver.  Right away I noticed how you immediately have to down iTunes software from Apple.  However, I was able to very easily upload all her favorite songs from CD.  Her iPod started out with a ton of songs for absolutely no money, I thought that was a great way to start out.  The iPod N...

I've always hated flip-flops.  They ALWAYS hurt my feet and were uncomfortable.  That is until I discovered OLD NAVY flip-flops.  The super CHEAP ones!!  The ones that are always 2/$5.00.  I bought a pair at the end of last summer and fell in love with them.  They are so comfortable, it's almost unbelievable.  Plus, another great thing is amazing ...

Ever have trouble finding cool jeans that fit for a reasonable price?  My daughter did, until we ventured into the Aeropostale store at the mall.  We actually went in there to score her a cool "hoodie" but decided to try on a pair of jeans.  After trying on the first pair of regulars and realizing they were way too long, she tried on a pair of 1/2 "short" jean...

I didn't have a lot of experience with Victoria's Secret until a couple of years ago.  I decided I wanted to "upgrade" my lingerie collection, had a little extra money in my pocket, and visited Victoria's Secret.  I quickly found "the bra" that will forever be part of my lingerie wardrobe.  The Very Sexy brand by Victoria Secret can do amazing thin...

I had always been a fan of "perfumes"--not body sprays or scented lotions.  That is until I found the Pure Seduction collection by Victoria's Secret.  Oh my gosh, I am always noticed when wearing this fragrance (by both men and women).  I now consider it my "signature scent."  This is a wonderfully sweet and fruity fragrance that lasts a long tim...

Bravo!  T-mobile has been my wireless provider for four years and has never let me down.  Their customer service department is unrivaled in excellence as they have time and time again responded to my challenges and always either came through for me, or explained in layman's terms why they couldn't do what I asked of them.I get 1000 "anytime minutes", 500 "call f...

In 1997, when I bought my MiniVan, I would have never believed it would STILL be running in late 2007.  I am not the type of person who changes the oil every 3,000 miles or rotates the tires, etc. However, this tough lady has made 5 trips from Kentucky to Washington State or vice versa, in addition to several long hauls from Ohio to Florida packing off teenagers to college.This miniva...

Both of us have spent hundreds of dollars on fancy products to moisturize, and cleanse, and this, and that..... but finally, this stuff works...and it is only $1.99!St. Ives Swiss Formula Apricot Scrub (Blemish and Blackhead Control) is an easy to use facial scrub that gets results. I am happy to say both of us are sm...

Enough already! I bought this for my boyfriend and nightly he tells me that random women approach him at stores wanting to know what he is wearing."A sweatshirt" he usually jokingly replies, but I know they are asking him about his cologne. Domain is available not only on the Mary Kay web site, but independant vendors and agents can get it for you too, often at a lower price. Besides,...

Ladies! Do yourselves a favor and have a little talk with your significant other male about his grey hair.When my boyfriend decided to wash away the grey recently, his first instinct was to buy "Just for Men" hair color, thinking the other products were for.... you guessed it, Women. Had I known the disaster that was impending, I would have done anything in my power to interfere with ...

Most of us just want to log in, see our checking account, and have our computers tell us how much money we have (or don't have). US BANK has a terrific interface with their internet/online banking that allows you to do virtually anything you can do in their financial service centers (remember when we called them "Banks"?) From the site you can not only check you acount status and ...

I had enough points on a reward site to order a subscription to Self magazine and went for it!!  And I am so glad I did.  This magazine is great.  I bring it work with me after I've read it and the gals in the office fight for it.  This 'zine covers tons of topics every month.  I am able to get my "celebrity" fix (in interview form), get the latest hea...
