I recieved this calendar as a gift from my grandmother. At first I was like, "Eh whatever, it's a stupid calendar." Then I took a closer look. All of the beautiful artwork decorating this calendar was painted by people who cannot use their hands to paint - they use their mouth or foot. Some of them don't have any arms at all. It is so amazing.It can sit on your office or schoo...

I have had Emergen-C in the past, but I had never tried the Raspberry flavor before. I love pretty much everything raspberry flavored, so I decided to see what it was like. For those not familiar with Emergen-C, it is a dietary supplement that dissolves in water. It is touted as a "super energy booster" because it contains 1,000 mg of vitamin C, B vitamins, and 32 mineral co...

Every girl who wears nail polish needs a bright pink color. Hot pink comes in handy when you want to spice up your look, or even match it to your outfit, if you are so bold. I have tried various brands of nail polish over the years from Avon to Sally Hansen. Surprisingly enough, my favorite has turned out to be a brand that I don't usually buy from and hadn't expected such a great buy f...

I started taking birth control to deal with very painful cramps and heavy bleeding I was having. I had never taken them before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I had heard from several people that they make you gain weight, so I was a little nervous. My doctor prescribed me Kariva (generic for Mircette). I have been on the pill for four months now, so my body had adjusted and I can acc...

If you are ever in Chicago, you must stop by Chinatown. Sure, it sounds very tourist oriented - and it is to a degree - but it is still wonderful. The thing that drew me there was a promise of delicious food (I was very hungry) but I found it extremely enjoyable to simply walk down the streets and observe everything.First of all, the buildings are interesting and beautiful. There are many ...

I found my favorite scent of Bath & Body Works lotions: Sweet Pea. This pink lotion smells delicate and not too perfumey. I was pretty impressed with this lotion. The only thing I wish is that it moisturized a little more. I use lotion every day, and in the winter (I live in Michigan so it gets cold and dry from the heat) I wish it was slightly more heavy-duty.  However, it is "en...

To instantly become 25% more patriotic apparently you open the cover of I Am America (And So Can You!). At least that's what it told me. This book told me many things. Ridiculous things. I laughed.Stephen Colbert is not for everyone. His humor is over the top, aggressive, and outrageous sometimes. That is why I like his show The Colbert Report. The first thing you need to understand if you ...

It seems so good, until you actually wear it. I had high hopes for this lip gloss. I was excited when I ordered it from the Avon catalog, and couldn't wait to try it. Sadly, I was rather disappointed. It's called Fruity Lip Juice, which sounds like it would be juciy and moisturizing, not sticky and paste-like. The kind I tried was called Melon Fizz (the third from the left in the pictur...

This phone has lasted me two years, and has been through quite a lot. My favorite thing about it is how durable it is. I drop it on pavement frequently; it has also fallen down stairs and done other acrobatic stunts. The worst it has suffered is some scratches. Also, it has only dropped calls on me once or twice. I think it's a stylish phone and I like the front display screen. The keypad i...

This book isn't going to teach you how to be cool. It's not going to tell you which bands to listen to, or how to dress, or how to talk. It's going to teach you that the phenomenon of "hip" is too elusive. Once you think you have it figured out, it goes and changes on you. However, in this book, John Leland is going to give you a fascinating, fairly comprehensive...

My lips are always dry and chapped because of the winter cold. In the summer they need something on my lips to help prevent sunburn. I have started using Avon's Moisture Therapy lip treatment and I have been impressed with the results. To me, Chapstick is alright but I kind of notice a faint taste I don't care for. This product does not have that. It is fairly long lasting and moisturiz...
