I was in Bed, Bath & Beyond one day just looking around when I came across the Magic Bullet Express.  I had seen the infomercials on TV talking about this blender/mixer and it looked really cool and easy to use and curiosity got the better of me, so I just had to have it.I brought it home, set it up and decided that I would make me a mixed drink for my first trial run.  So, after ...

We have had some cold days down south here recently and even up inside my office, I have stayed cold, especially my feet and legs.  The other day, I was cleaning out a closet, and I came across a small space heater that belonged to my sister-n-law and after checking with her, I took it to work with me, stuck it under my desk and turned it on.  I quickly found out what a great job this...

Since we have moved into a house, it seems we are doing one project after the next, but our latest project was painting our kitchen.  Now, I have never bought paint before, nor do I know anything about paint.  My sister had told me to get Behr as this is what she has used when flipping houses before, but since I was at Lowes instead of Home Depot, Behr was not available.  So, I j...

I use birth control regularly and till now have been taking birth control pills and for me this has been an easy and quick way of not only providing birth control, but also regulating my monthly period.  However, one thing I dislike about taking oral contraceptives is that you have to remember to not only take it every day, but also try to take it about the same time everyday.  For me...

Well, if you can get past the tons of sugar and calories you'll rack up after you eat this box of chocolates, then you will have a feast that will satisfy the taste buds and tempt the eyes.  I got this box of candy as a gift for christmas and oh, what a box of chocolates it is!  I got a large variety of dark chocolate covered truffles.  Each piece of choco...

I bought this Camelbak Hydrapak for our upcoming trip to Disney World.  Walking around the parks all day can get tiring and hot and can make you very thirsty, but as anyone who has ever gone to a theme park, especially Disney World, getting drinks, even water can get very expensive.  Also, it is good to have some sort of backpack or storage to carry around other things you might need ...

In this day and age, we have constantly got to worry about what kind of germs we are exposed to every single day.  There are germs everywhere and I for one and always trying to keep things as clean as I can and hate for my hands to feel grimy or feel like i'm a walking germ.  I usually keep Germ-X liquid hand sanitizer with me everywhere.  I keep a bottle in my office and hom...

There is absolutely nothing good I can say about freecreditreport.com except that they are a bunch of liars & thieves.  You see their commercials on tv all the time about you can get a free copy of your credit report.  What you do see, unless you are a very careful reader is that if you sign up with them to get a "free" credit report, you are enrolling in their credit ad...

I recently got the Asencia Contour Blood Glucose Meter to keep track of my glucose levels since I have hypoglycemia.  I didn't want anything very fancy as I only have to check my levels periodically.  I wanted something small and easy to use and read.  So far I have been nothing but impressed.The package for this product comes with the meter, a bottle to hold the test strips,...

Earlier this summer, my husband & I decided to take a weekend trip to the beach.  I had started selling Avon not long before this so I had bought some of their sunscreen thinking it would be good to have some on hand.  So, for our trip, I brought it with us.  Now, I burn fairly easily, but I figured that a sunscreen with a SPF of 40 ought to keep the burning to a minimum.Over...

The other day, I was getting ready to have a yard sale and I was going through some of my old clothes and I found that several of my shirts had gotten "pilly" where the fabric had balled up and some shirts had small lint balls all over them.  I tried picking them off with my hands, but I either pulled at the fabric or it was just too time-consuming.So, I ran up to Wal-mart and fo...

One of my favorite places to vacation is Walt Disney World and while many times I like to plan everything for our vacations myself, at times it's just easier to hand over the reigns to someone else. While browsing the web one day for information on an upcoming Disney World trip, I came across a website called yourmagicaljourneys.com.  On this website, you can get a myriad of ...

My sister & I recently went shopping and since she had a gift certificate to Bath & Body Works, we stopped in there to browse for a bit.  One thing that drives me nuts is having dry feet & hands.  So when I saw these Suddenly Sauna moisturizing gloves, I had to give them a shot.  They were on the pricey side, but since I wasn't paying, I figured what the heck.So, ...

This coin bank is really handy and really fun to use.  My husband and i are always bringing home our change and just throwing it into an old jar and never seem to know how much we have until we get around to rolling it and taking it to the bank.With this coin bank, all you do is take a small handful of coins, feed it into the opening at the top and the coin bank goes to work.  It sepa...

At the time that my husband & I tried the Magic Your Way Dining Plan, this was an amazing option provided by Disney to have all your meals/snacks pre-paid so that when you arrived, all you had to do was worry about where you wanted to eat out of all the many restaurant choices.The Disney Dining Plan is a meal option that gives each person in your party, 1 sit down meal, 1 counter-service me...

I have always loved the look of multi-globe lamps, so when I saw this one at Home Depot, I knew I had to have it.  It has a very modern look to it with its satin nickel finish and it's a very nice edition to any living room or home office.I love the fact that it has a dimmer switch.  It makes for great mood lighting, reading lamp or even a night light for a children's roo...

I bought this bike thinking that it would be fun to ride every now & then for exercise.  I loved the look of this bike the first time I saw it and knowing that Schwinn is a good brand, I took the plunge and spent the money to get it.  The seat that comes on the bike wasn't very comfortable, so I bought another seat and had them install it on the bike before I ever left th...

I, as many other do, receive store brochures all the time and JC Penney's is one I receive regularly.  Well, in one of my issues, there was a small card that fell out that had this ring as one of their on-sale items.  In the picture it looked gorgeous and I love sterling silver, so I decided to purchase it.When it came, it was just a beautiful as it looked in the picture...

My grandmother spent nearly $100 purchasing this pillow for me while she was on vacation one year.  I don't remember what store she got it in, but now I think you can purchase tempur pedic pillows in quite a few stores and they are cheaper, but this was when they first came out with them.She knew that I was very picky about my pillows and often woke up with a stiff neck from not having...

I received several jumbo space bags in the mail as a sample to try a while back.  Since we were going to be moving, I thought these would come in handy to store our big bedding & pillows since they take up so much space.  I followed the directions on the packaging very carefully and at first the space bags seemed to work really well.  Using my vacuum, I sucked out a great dea...
