I have had a Virgin Mobile phone for years now.  They have been the best option for my family.  My 15 year old son has had his own phone, but not used it much, so we dropped it.  Since we had no contract with Virgin Mobile, there was no hassle.  My husband and I both carry Virgin Mobile phones at this time.  We've not had any dead zones without service in our...

Mac Cosmetics Cream Colour Base is a cream product in a compact with multiple makeup purposes. I have heard other makeup fans complain that these bases don't last on their eyes, and maybe that's due to oily skin, but I haven't had that problem.  I apply this base under eyeshadow to make the color stand out.  When layered in that combination, base then shadow, I have f...

  The Yankee Candle Scentstories looks like a CD player.  In this player, you place a disc containing 5 scents.  The player will "play" a scent for thirty minutes before moving to the next one.  You can set your disc to any scent you wish or just let it play through them all.  Each scent plays for 30 minutes before moving on to the next.  Packaging states...

  I was given the CSI: Double Down puzzle as a gift at Christmas.  My sister came over and we decided we'd work on it together along with my husband.  The contents of the picture is a crime scene, so I don't suggest putting the CSI puzzles together with children.    Piecing this together was quite a challenge because not one picture of the actual puzzl...

  Firstly, I must admit that I haven't tried very many other brands of diapers since using Pampers.  I tried White Cloud and Luvs in the past.  The White Cloud diapers were not the quality of Pampers and had to be changed much more frequently.  The Luvs diapers were ill fitting for my daughter and I ended up seeing baby butt crack when she was walking about.   ...

 OUCH!  I bet you're wondering if you read the price of Dr. Brandt's Microdermabrasion correctly.  Why yes, yes you did.  This product costs $75 for 1.7 oz.  I personally did NOT pay that to test this product.  I was lucky enough to get a free sample with a purchase from Sephora.   The product had a great lemony clean scent.  It wasn't a Pledg...

Benefit Benetint is a stain packaged in a bottle that resembles nailpolish.  You use the brush to apply the product to your cheeks or lips and then blend with your fingertips.  The application is difficult at best because it tends to stain in the spot you've touched with the brush and then not spread evenly beyond the point of brush application. My lips felt dry&nbs...

Charssi is an online etailer that specializes in jars of fudge.  This is no ordinary fudge though, this is Spoon Fudge.  Spoon fudge is soft in texture, much like buttercream cake frosting.  It is preservative free and therefore, has a shelf life of one month.  My jar was gone LONG before a month was over.  The chocolate fudge that I tried was very smooth and cream...

The Senseo Coffee Machine is a system which uses pods, premade circular filters with coffee contained in the middle, and pressurized water to make a single cup.  The coffee machine has no coffee pot, you place your cup directly under the spout and the outcome is a cup of hot, frothy coffee.  The Senseo is easy to use.  I found the directions to be easy to follow, but I must admit...

Listerine Whitening Quick Dissolve strips are just like they say, whitening strips that dissolve while you're wearing them.  The strips are not top or bottom specific.  They have a notch in them that shows you which way to apply, because the treatment is on one side of the strip.  The first package I opened I actually tore the strip.  I think the packaging could be made ...

My aunt bought these cookies for my daughter for a Halloween treat.  I must admit I wouldn't have bought these cookies on my own, because it's just an expensive graham cracker, right?  After watching my daughter eat these cookies, I will be buying more!  In the past, when she has had graham crackers, the mess has been horrid.  Crumbs end up every where and I spend an...

Partylite is a direct sales company. If you have a party and have the appropriate amount of sales, it's possible to get your candles for free.  These votives must be burned in a container, because they melt completely.  The wicks can be removed and the votive can be turned upside down if you have the need to fill a container with a rounded bottom.  The candle completely melts...
