Shoe shopping for me is usually pretty hellish. I have always been very picky with footwear since I have a long skinny foot, a high arch, appreciate style, am all about comfort and unfortunately don't have a never ending bank acount, so I have to watch the price tag as well. A few months back I was looking for a shoe I could wear to work; something that would look appropriate but lack nothi...

I needed a suit for a portfolio show, and after searching high and low to find something that would fit me well, I settled with a black Editor Suit from Express. The price tag was enormous, but I thought that should mean quality and it will last me for a long time. Though the suit pants are one of the few pants that match my body type, they are very thin and snag easy. I'm always worried th...

As a graphic design student, my projects were burning a hole in my pocket gong to print shops all the time. I decided it would be more cost efficient to by my own printer. I did a lot of research trying to find a printer which would be capable of the quality and versatility I needed, as well as one that a poor college student could afford. I decided on HP after many good reviews and chose ...

As a true music appreciator, the mp3 player as a whole is quite a nescecity to me anymore. I've had a couple of different ones, and unsatisfied kept looking for one that would produce the quality I was searching for.Apple obviously has conquered the marketing part of mp3 plyers with their extensive advertising for the ipods, but I didn't know if their product could live up to such stand...

As a design student, my school included art kits in tuition. Every quarter we recieved a new art kit that had several different supplies and gadgets to benefit us with our projects. We all were very excited to hear that our third quarter kit was to include a digital camera, due to the fact that they are fun and a must have, but of coarse mostly because we take a lot of our own photography for p...

When Keds came out with shoes that were similar to the Vans style, I got myself a few pairs. These shoes have proven to be a satisfactory buy!With so many different styles and material patterns to choose from,I found it very difficult to limit myself from not buying several more. I had to pull and eenie-meanie-miney-mo!  There is so much character and personality in the shoes design, I lov...

Worn in jeans and a t-shirt would be my ideal everyday outfit. The only problem is jeans don't fit me. Growing up, I was always tall and slender  and I could never find jeans long enough. I'm kind of specific about my pants, because I refuse to wear high waters or anything close to them!Now I'm still long, but I've filled out a little bit and jeans are just as difficult to ...

Socks are such a common article of clothing, I think they are often over looked as inimportant and less than a matter. I disagree with this sterotype thinking though. A lot of us are on our feet all day and want to be comfortable doing so. Also with socks you have to bring up the fact that the dryer seems to eat them all the time., so they need to be affordable.My favorite pair of socks are pla...

Solitaire Frenzy is a great twist on a classic. Though it does take some awareness and concentration which is too difficult for anybody too young, it's a good family game.It keeps you moving and competingc onstantlyagainst the other players. It is still fun, but there is a such thing as having too many players. Eventually it ges too confusing and crowded.There isn't a lot of pieces or n...

I think it goes without saying, the majority of girls clothes are made for looks, and guys for comfort. Well girls like comfort too! The Hanes perfect tee is a smiple shirt that doesn't come in pretty pink, but wins my honors of best tee! It's easy to wear as an undershirt or an overshirt and I even sometimes get creative with it and put some crafty designs on them. The comfort is amazi...

I got the Cruzer mini 1 gb for my school work. I was required to do a lot of file sharing from computer to computer and work from several different stations. 1 gb was plenty enough space for what I needed it for. It came with a neck strap, so it was convinient to just throw on and carry around without always worrying about where you left it lay last or losing it. It's little and very light ...

When I got a lap top for school, we were given a list of about 4 choices from what was required at the school. Being in graphics, they were all Apples. I went with the 15 inch G4, which was top line at the time.Immediately, I had problems with the screen and my computer overheating. Wehn you use your computer eight hours a day, one day of it being serviced is enough to kill time, but a week was...

Since I always have the hardest time finding jeans that I like and that fit my body as well as length, I do a lot of trying on. When I first bought my pair of Gap straight boot cut jeans, It was mostly because they were on the sale rack for 9 dollars and they fit okay, not great, but okay. Unlike a lot of other clothes, a few rounds in the washer and wearing them in made them one of my favorite...

I love my music and I like it loud...loud enough that you can feel the music aka the bass. When I had my first Ipod, I couldn't believe the quality of sound these headphones could put out.  Clear and clear up to a high volume. I broke my first set, which was completely my fault, not a manufacturingor a durability flaw, and used some others for a while. I had forgotten just how goo...

I had gone to a party and we played a lot of different games and one I like in particular was Mad Gab. I had a lot of fun playing and it was great for the whole group be able to play since a lot of games would exclude some people when you have such a large party. The rules and directions are more than simple to pick up on. I like how it can call on anybody to participate, but doesn't fore a...

Pit is a classic game which is played with several cards with different baragaining materials on them. If you have a smaller group or a big group, either way, this is definetly a game to try out.It's very fast paced so the action never stops. It can get a little loud and obnoxious, and even a lot loud and obnoxious, but that's all part of the game.It's well rounded with a mix of luc...

I bought a used 02 Dodge Intrepid after I graduated and needed something reliable to get me off to college. It was priced fair and had pretty low milage on it and I also like the long aeronomic design of it. I had absolutely no trouble with it for about a year and a half. Then one day I put it in park and started to get out, and my car was still rolling!  I thought I had done something sil...

The Wii was a comppletely new eperience for me,n since I'm not a "gamer" typer of person. My sister boght one and said I had to play tennis against her. So I did.It was so much fun. Granted the graphics are up to par with the other games out there, the interactivity with the players is up there. It was pretty easy to catch on to, which I appreciate because I hate the games that I ...

My familly has always been pretty big into games, so something different or new is always fun instead of the same repetition. My sister got Cranium and it was a blast. I'm all for creativity, my dads all about knowledge, so it fits a  lot of different personality since it includes several different skills.It's a very involved game that can inclued everybodys nitch. You can have a l...

Tylenol Cold is what we always seem to have around the house. I think it's effective as far as taking care of and some what controlling the cold symptoms. The night time kind i ssomething that I stopped taking. Being a night time mediceine, it should quite obviously knock you out or at least help you fall asleep a little easier. If I take it within about five hours of going to bed, there...
