I've been trying make a lot of changes lately to be more Earth friendly but when I was cleaning my bathroom the other day, I looked around and this is what I found: 2 bottles of shampoo, 2 bottles of conditioner, 1 bottle of body wash, 2 bottles of baby lotion, 1 bottle of baby oil, 3 bottles of my lotion, and a few tubes of Mary Kay products. All of these are not recyclable and will end up...

Do not buy cheap MP3 and MP4 players on Ebay! These are no name brand players from China and are very poor quality. I bought my partner one for Christmas and it broke after a few days! I could not return it. The radio on it still works but it does not download music or play downloaded music. I also got one for Christmas last year. It's been working but it has poor sound quality and I can on...

I've been a Mary Kay consultant for over a year now and I have been using liquid foundation for my dry skin. I thought this was the right choice and I moisturized my face day and night but I always had those dry spots on my face that kept coming back after I put on my foundation. Well, recently, I realized that the best foundation to use for dry skin is not a liquid foundation but Mary Kay&...

This is the moisturizer that goes with the Care Free Hair Removal Cream that I reviewed earlier. I got it on clearance at Fred Meyer for 50% off the regular price. It is safe to use daily and best used on areas where the hair was removed using a a hair removal cream. It moisturizes, slows hair growth, and reduces the thickness of hair that grows back. I don't know if this product really wor...

I shopped around and did my research for an indoor plant that I could keep in my office. I came to the conclusion that the Chinese Evergreen might be what I was looking for. I discovered that this plant can clean the air in a room by releasing oxygen and it needs only a minimal amount of light. I bought one at Fred Meyer for very cheap and it was tiny. It only had 2 leaves on it. It has been a ...

My birthday is in a month and my partner can never wait to give me my presents. This means I will be getting a steady stream of presents during the next few weeks before my birthday. The first of which is a Juicy Couture wallet. It's small and I guess it's more of a coin purse but I use it for more than coins. It's a perfect size to fit my debit card, ID, and some folded bills. I lo...

These are my new favorite shoes! If you are looking to buy a comfortable pair of shoes that work with dressy and casual styles, check out Women's Xhilaration Shaelyn Twist wedge heel shoes from Target. I got this for only $19.99 and they are a great buy because they look great with anything! I wear them to work in dress pants or skirts and I wear them on the weekends with jeans.  The f...

I received this camera as a gift last year for Christmas. I was surprised to receive something so nice from my mother-in-law. It is a pink digital camera and it is absolutely adorable! It comes with a jelly, protective case. It works great and I haven't had any problems with it. There are many settings on it to take different pictures like fireworks, text, moving objects, etc. It also does ...

Www.leisurefly.com is the site where I book all of my vacations. The site is super easy to navigate and you can buy airplane tickets, make hotel reservations, cruise reservations, find car rentals, and get tickets to attractions. My favorite feature is the budget travel. You enter your departing location and it will find you all the locations you can go to for under $250. This is usually f...

This product is amazing but a little scary. Covergirl has come out with something called Outlast Lipstain. It literally stains your lips so the lipstick does not smear or come off for hours. I was given this product by Covergirl to test and review and I must say that it worked really well.  I rubbed my lips with my hand after 2 seconds of applying this product and nothing came off onto my ...

I bought this product at Fred Meyer and it was in the clearance bin for 50% off.  It was only $4 and it came with a 5.1 oz tube of hair removing cream and a pink scraper. The tube of hair removal creaming has a spongy attachment at the opening for easy application so you don't have to use your hands. You just leave the product on for three to five minutes and then scrape it off with th...

I recently used up my foundation from Origins and I was shopping for a new one. I wanted something natural/organic because I am a little paranoid about my skin soaking up chemicals. I have always been curious about the organic line from Physician's Formula so I was browsing their products. I did not want to get a powder foundation because winter is on it's way and a power foundation wil...

When asked about sightseeing in a small town of 22,000 people, there may not be much to boast about. At least this is the case for most small country towns. Newberg, Oregon however, has proved to be a rare jewel. Settled by Quakers in the 1800's, Newberg is the home to George Fox University, whose first Superintendent was Dr. Henry Minthorn. Dr. Minthorn's house is the oldest in town an...

I drive a 2002 Ford Escape and I absolutely love it. I wish I had a hybrid or at least a newer model but this one was affordable. It's been in 2 accidents and has never been fixed but has never broken down on me. I couldn't afford to get it's oil changed for awhile and when I took it in it actually had no oil in it! I felt really bad but also amazed that my car was still running.&nb...

I read this series of five books when I was in middle school and I absolutely loved them. I am 25 years old now and I decided to reread the series just for old times sake. It brings back a lot of memories. Anyway, the book is about a young boy who grew up on a farm. He goes on an adventure with his aunt and grandfather and realizes that his aunt is an ancient sorceress and his grandfather is al...

Since my family and I bought a second remote for the Wii, it has become more fun to play and we have been playing it everyday now. We have been getting quite the workout with Wii boxing and wanted to have more games to choose from so we decided to get the Wii Resort. We had heard great things about it. You need to have an attachment for the remote called the WiiMotion Plus to play these ga...

My partner got the Journey to the Center of the Earth movie for her birthday recently. It's a very good movie if you are into science fiction or if are a child at heart. The movie is full of adventure and exciting scenes. I actually saw this in the theater when it came out but it still kept my attention watching it at home for the second time.  The only disappointing part about th...

This is a very basic phone but I can't complain because it was free with a 2-year contract. It has everything I need without the fancy stuff. It calls well, has speakerphone, and text messaging.  I don't have a camera on it and I can't check my email, it is not even Blue Tooth capable but that was a sacrifice I was willing to make for a free phone that's not ugly.  The...
