Crocs Cayman are available in many colors, most of them bright and shocking. These shoes are a bit more slender than the original Crocs beach footwear, which I like because it fits a woman's foot better. I have wide feed (I often buy wide sizes), yet this are still large enough for me.  The holes on the top may not be the most beautiful thing but they keep your feet cool on hot da...

Bath and Body Works Luxuries Body Splash come in many of the same scents as the other Bath & Body Works products, which makes it easy to complete the set of your favorite scent. I bought this bottle of the luxuries body splash, and honestly, I can't tell the difference between it and the normal body splash. The container is nicer, but the actual product doesn't seem to differ too mu...

This cleanser from Noxema comes in a 6.5 oz tube and is squeezable with a flip top (shown above). There is not much scent to it, so it shouldn't bother anyone that way. I have very sensitive skin and allergies and this does not bother me at all. The one thing I don't like about it is the creaminess of the soap. It says that it is "latering" but I don't think it lathers muc...

Skintimate shaving gel is my old standby brand, because I find that I don't nick myself or get razor burn when I use it. I really like the gel over the cream, cause I feel like it gives the razor a slicker surface over which to glide. The dispenser is easy to use and it is easy to regulate how little or much of the gel you want out at any time. As seen in my picture, the gel is clear and fo...

This astringent from Clean & Clear says that it fights oil and helps treat and prevent pimples. I haven't really noticed a decrease in pimples. While it does make my skin feel less oily, that only lasts for a short while and then it will feel oily again. I wonder if using an acid based cleanser on skin might decrease oil for the moment but ultimately increase the production by the oil p...

Colgate Fresh Confidence toothpaste is a fluoride toothpaste with whitening gel. The packaging claims that it helps eliminate bacteria that causes bad breath. This toothpaste just works OK. The taste is not bad at all, but sometimes my teeth don't feel as clean after brushing as they have with other toothpastes, and I might have to brush twice. Although it claims to eliminate bad breath, if...

This game is for the Playstation 2 and is fun even for a non-gamer like me. It uses a special guitar controller (sold separately or in a bundle pack) and you wear it just like a regular guitar. The game, in theory, is easy enough to play... you hear a song and see the colors going across the bottom of the screen and have to hit the button to correspond with the color and strum the guitar. There...

This is the 4th game in the Guitar Hero series from Activision. This game just came out in October 2007, and it is already a huge improvement on the others. In addition to the usual gameplay, there are tons of great new songs to play along with. I think some of them may even be the normal performers singing/playing along, instead of covers. There is a multiplayer mode, as usual, but this time t...

This Sims Deluxe game contains the Sims as well as the Sims Livin' Large expansion pack. As I had not played the Sims before buying this package, I am not sure which parts of the game are from the original Sims or from the expansion. The concept is easy enough to understand - you build some Sims characters and then choose how they interact with others and live their lives. There's not r...

I really love the Temptations line from Bath & Body Works. This lotion is the strawberry dacquiri scent, but I have tried other scents as well (Pomegranite Martini is also very nice). This line makes body washes, lotions, etc in very decadent scents. The lotion itself is a good quality lotion... it is significantly thinner than creams and some lotions but still rubs into the skin easily eno...

This is another in the line of mockumentaries from Christopher Guest (others include Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman). This stars many of the usual players in his films such as Parker Posey and Fred Willard. In this film, a prominent proponent of the folk music industry has died, and a concert of has been folk musicians is being planned in his honor. There is a group that still performs re...

This movie stars Nicholas Cage as Charlie Kauffman, a real life screenwriter who worked on Being John Malkovitch. In this movie Kauffman is attempting to adapt the novel The Orchid Thief to screen, and has some issues with it. So instead, the script becomes about him and his trouble with adapting the movie to film. He also creates a fictional twin, Donald Kauffman, and writes the story as more ...

This movie is the story of a high school student who goes in search of rock legends. Patrick Fugit plays William Miller, a student who has been commissioned by Rolling Stone magazine to follow the band Stillwater on their tour. During this time, he is witness to much of the partying, drugs, and women that rock and roll has become synonymous with. It is also a coming of age tale of sorts, as Wil...

This is the 7th season of the CBS show The Amazing Race. I found this season to be one of the more intriguing, as the teams were often well matched and there was much strategy utilized. One of the most notable teams this season was Rob & Amber - who rose to fame in Survivor and Survivor All Stars. They were the team to beat, as many of the other teams rallied against them. Also in this DVD ...

The Big Lebowski came out in 1998 and stars Jeff Bridges as Jeffrey Lebowski, or The Dude as he is also known. The movie opens on Lebowski discovering that his rug has been stolen and is being held for ransom. The movie continues as a quest to find his rug, with the help of some of his bowling buddies, including John Goodman. The movie itself doesn't really follow a clear plot, as it's ...

Dead Like Me was a short-lived Showtime original series that began in 2003. Although this show only survived for 2 seasons, it had a strong following among a subsection of the audience and a movie is being made to bring the characters back together. This show starred Ellen Muth as George, a girl who was killed by a falling toilet one day and made into a grim reaper. Each day she gets her orders...

Empire Records is a movie that came out in 1995 and is about a group of teenagers who work in a record store, their interaction with each other and customers, and their ultimate goal of saving the record store from becoming bought out by a chain. There are many notable names in this movie such as Rory Cochrane, Debi Mazar, Robin Tunney, Renee Zellweger, Ethan Embry, and Liv Tyler, and all add s...

The Italian Job, which came out in 2003, is a remake of the 1969 film of the same name. Some of the stars of this movie are Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, and Seth Green. This is the story of a meticulously planned heist, where thieves use Mini Coopers to steal a load of gold in traffic. The action sequences were well choreographed and very tense. The story then becomes a tale o...

This film, made in 1983, tells the story of the Griswald's family cross country trip to Wally World Amusement Park. This was the first of the national lampoon's movies and stars Chevy Chase as the father, Beverly D'Angelo as the mother, and Anthony Michael Hall (The Breakfast Club, 16 Candles) as son Rusty. The movie incorporates the usual comedic instances that national lampoons mo...

Swingers was filmed in 1996 and stars Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau as 2 friends who go to Vegas for a good time. Favreau is suffering from a recent breakup when Vaughn convinces him to go to Vegas and attempts to cheer him up with Woman, gambling, and anything else he can think of. The story is fairly simple, as I described, and the actors are really what makes the movie. There is not a ton of ...
