I use the ID-Armor in my work office.  It is very sturdy and can shred 15 sheets of paper at a time.  Most shredders that say that can only handle 5 sheets, but I actually used 15 sheets and it shredded it.  It didn't sound too happy doing it, but it did it.  I like this shredder because it cuts the paper up into small pieces, not strips that would be easy to put back to...

Shiseido is a Japanese high end makeup line.  This matifying stick helps with facial oil control.  My skin is very oily.  This stick looks like a dry, white lipstick.  It twists up like lipstick, but it is not lipstick.  I first rub some on my finger, then apply it to my face.  Be careful because if you layer too much on, you'll be able to see the white.  ...

I found this Ralph Lauren gym bag at TJ Maxx for $29.99.  I immediately liked it because it was plain and simple, yet stylish.  It's a lightweight nylon material with RL scattered over it inbetween a small pattern.  It came in different colors, black, blue, and tan.  I got the blue.  That means it has a blue pattern and blue RL's with a blue handle.  The ma...

I recently purchased the Zippo MPL lighter in the Yankee Candle Company store after my other bendable lighter broke.  This lighter is really sleek looking.  You hold a button in the back and slide a lever on the front up so it's pretty much child proof.  The lighter is about 10 inches long and is a nice silver color.  It has a little hook on the end incase you want to ha...

If you've never heard of acne.org and have oily and acne prone skin, I urge you to visit.  The creator, Daniel Kern, created a skin care regimen and products to go along with it.  The first step is the cleaner.  It's a basic cleanser that lathers well and doesn't dry out skin.  It removes makeup well and leaves you skin feeling clean, but not dry or tight.  ...

If you have blemishes and use a concealer, I suggest you try Clinique Acne Solutions Concealing Stick.  It's a concealer that heals as it conceals, which I like a lot.  It comes in 4 shades.  I have fairly light skin and I thought the shade 1 (the lightest) looked too light, so I got shade 2.  Well, that was too dark.  So I had to get shake 1.  I suggest going ...

I got the Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder as a gift.  It's pretty neat, although I'm not sure how effective it is.  I like to wear it because it helps with shiny skin.  It doesn't last through the day, but I have very oily skin.  It is a greenish color because green helps reduce redness if you have any blemishes.  It comes in a little jar with holes at ...

OPI nail polish is kind of expensive.  Each bottle costs about $8.00.  They are pretty big though.  I have tried the Hollywood Blonde color.  It's a nice sheer color with a bit of shimmer.  It lasts a looooong time too.  Very very pretty.  It takes awhile to get it off your nails when you're done with the color though.  I had to rub and rub with l...

If you own a laptop and you travel a lot, I think a laptop case or sleeve is needed.  The Sony Vio Neoprene Sleeve doesn't just fit the Sony laptops.  I have a Dell 700m and it fits perfectly.  It's designed to fit the smaller 12 inch screen computers.  It's plain black with a rubber thing on the front that says Sony.  I dont like that part, but it's eas...

Chanel is a high end cosmetics line so the prices go along with it.  This creme lipstick was $20.00, plus tax.  I don't own many of these, but I really like the metallic vamp color, so I had to get it.  This tube has lasted a long time.  I probably should get rid of it, but I'm down to the last little bit in the end of the tube!  It's a very nice, brownish/p...

If you're looking for an inexpensive acne treatment, look no further.  Daniel Kern from acne.org made a huge size bottle of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide.  8oz for $16.52 is a steal.  If you follow his acne regimen, you'll see that you need a lot of treatment product.  2.5% is less drying than 10% benzoyl peroxide and pretty much as effective.  I've used this produc...

I got this as a gift and it's pretty neat, but not really useful.  It's a little black plastic cat that senses sounds.  Turn it on when you play music and it will hear it and start a little light show on it's head that will sync to the beat of the music.  Its ears and head move around as well.  If there isn't music playing you can play little games with it by...

I bought my car new off the lot it 2004.  I did a lot of research beforehand and for the value, Honda seemed the way to go.  I liked the way it looked on the outside and the inside is very nice.  It has gray fabric seats with a subdued pattern and the interior trim (dashboard, etc) is two tone black and gray.  In fact, today I went to Sonic and the carhop said she liked the ...

This desktop computer is pretty good.  That doesn not mean that it is very good.  It was purchased about 3 years ago so it is pretty much obsolete.  The computer unit is pretty big and heavy, but I have put an additional hard drive and DVD/CD RW in it and there is plenty of expansion room left.  I have had to replace the power supply because of it.  Before I replaced th...

My friend has a 2000 Dodge Dakota and I have driven it on several occasions.  I own a Honda Civic and I can definitely say that I am a car person.  The truck seems really shaky when I drive it.  I don't know if that' standard of trucks since I don't drive a lot of them, but I don't like it at all.  There's plently of room in the bed of the truck, but if I...

I bought the Dell Inspiron 700m about 2 years ago.  I was looking for a lightweight computer that I could bring with me on trips and not have to worry about breaking my back with the weight.  I like the look of the Dell Inspiron 700m.  It's silver with white trim.  It has a 12 inch screen.  It weighs about 4.5 pounds.  Right now it weighs a little more because ...

Season 1 of Deadwood introduces a gold mining town in the late 1800's.  There is no law and secrets and lies fly in order to make money and get ahead.  If you are sensitive to cursing, sex and violence...do NOT watch this television show.  There are many side stories, but the main story surrounds the Gem Saloon owner, a former Montana sheriff, and Wild Bill Hickcock and frien...

The Sony Playstation 3 is a fairly new product with a lot of popularity.  It replaced the old Playstation 2.  My husband bought one when it first came out so he paid top dollar.  I think it's outrageously outpriced, but it is a pretty neat video game console.  The games are also very expensive: $50 to $60 each and if you want another controller or accessories, just be pr...

The Nintendo Wii is a nifty new video console.  It's a lot different that what you are usually used to.  It can connect to the internet just like a regular computer.  In fact, if you don't have a computer, it would probably be a nice temporary solution until you get one.  It has a hard drive to store files and games.  The controller takes some getting used to.&n...

If you like name brand clothing, you'll like Bebe.  First off, you can't be chubby and wear Bebe clothes.  I'm not trying to be mean, but bebe is very form fitting and usually doesn't come in large sizes.  My lounge pants were a medium and fit skin tight.  If you don't mind people starting at your booty, these are the pants for you.  They are very co...
