I bought a workout video that required a weighted bar as part of the routine.  Of course, they had their own brand name bar that could be ordered through their website, but it was super expensive!  I decided to cruise the Internet to see if I could find a substitute weight bar in my price range.  Eventually, through Amazon, I found the Versa Bar.The Versa Bar comes in a variety o...

This is the coolest thing I have received in a very long time! I'm big on nutrition, organics and healthy meal substitutions because I always seem to be too busy to eat right or need to eat while on the run.  I got these in the mail from my brother and instantly feel in love! You Bars are completely customized- even down to the label! You go to their web site, fill out your preferences...

While shopping I came across this Mr. Bar-B-Q sauce mop.  I purchased it because we barbeque a lot.  Since we use sauce for most of our BBQ cuisines, I thought this would be a great sauce applicator.I was right! This sauce mop laps up the sauce and slathers it on the meat.  The mop head is constructed with what seems to be the same material used on an old fashioned mop. The handl...

Recently, I had to go on injections twice a day to help control my diabetes. I decided that it was time to get serious about my health. Losing some weight would help not only with my diabetes, but with my high blood pressure as well. So I have started eating a more nutritious diet. I am eating more lean meat, vegetables, and whole grains. (I'm sure my body has gone into shock as a result.) ...

I bought the Fluidity Dance Bar after spending many late nights watching infomercials. Something about this one just really stuck out, and I decided that I had to try it. Now, I'm no fitness nut, but I have some post-baby weight to lose, and thought this would be a good way to tone up.  And it is! The workouts are so incredibly enjoyable that the 30 minutes goes by in a flash, but afte...

When adding to your outdoor patio furniture consider getting the Martha Stewart Shelter Island Bar Table.  This is a sturdy, attractive small table that you can put out on the patio.  It is wonderful when you just need somewhere to put your glass down or a book that you have been reading.  It is also nice to put an outdoor light on it.  I also use it to put potted plants on....

I know that we all have to be careful what we eat, especially as we get older, but, confound it, sometimes you just have to go off track and indulge yourself occasionally!  One of my guiltiest of pleasures is buying a Mars Milky Way Bar.  Chocolate, caramel, nougat, all rolled up into one scrumptious candy bar!  Eating this product is not something I can do a lot, but, when I do ...

I grew up in South Florida and every home we had down there had at least 1 sliding glass door. If we were ever locked out of the house, the first door we would try to get into was one of the sliding doors because they could be easily shaken and pushed off their tracks. My father used to take broom stick handles and put them down on the bottom tracks to keep the door from pushing open as easily,...

I'm sure if you've been down any candy aisle in any grocery store, you've probably seen the large version of Mounds candy bars. Well, if you love those, you are really going to love the bite size versions. Not only are they great to hand out this coming Halloween, but they are great for snacking on when you are in the mood for a little something sweet. I personally am not a fan of j...

I'm always on the look out for a good tasting, healthy granola bar.  At Trader Joe's, I found the Clif Kid Organic Z Bar in Blueberry.  They have many delicious flavors, but the Bluberry is my favorite.  The texture of the bar is more like a soft cookie, and with this particular flavor, there is a white glaze drizzled on the top.  What I like most about this bar, bes...

I was visiting San Francisco and taking in some of the sites around the Haight and Ashbury area with a friend of mine, when we came across this shop, Genesis Imports. We stopped in and I took a look around at some of the great imported items they had when the music that was playing in the shop caught my ear. I really liked it so I asked the person behind the counter about the music. He in turne...

I have recently been lucky enough to try the new Nestle Crunch Crisp Bar. Let me tell you it is delicious! I'm not a real big fan of  the regular Nestle Crunch bar. This however, really met with my high standards of chocolate. It is sort of like a Kit-Kat bar, but the filling between the wafers isd chocolate  and has a better flavor. It's crispy but also kind of creamy at the ...

Not too long ago I was 50 pounds overweight.  When I decided that I had enough and started my diet I soon realized that one can not live on carrots alone.  So I sought out foods that I had liked in the past but with less calories.  I stumbled upon Nabisco's popular line of 100 calorie snack packs.  I loved their Oreo and Chips Ahoy cookies.  You can imagine my excit...

Baby Neptune Carrier Toy Bar by Baby Einstein is an attachment for your child carrier for little ones under the age of one. The toy bar features a small little "fish tank" that lights up, has bubbles and makes music. My little one never really got into the toy bar, it was not interactive enough for them to really enjoy. Despite the good little music and effects, it is pretty simple ov...

Cetaphil is well-known mild soap that is popular amongst those who have problematic skin.  Cetaphil both moisturizes as well as cleans.  While it contains no active ingredients, it will not dry you out and can easily be used with subsequent acne products that contain active ingredients (benzol peroxide or salicylic acid).  Cetaphil is particularly good for the entire body, as t...

Galaxy chocolate is an everyday purchase in Britain, a lot like the Hershey bar in the U.S. But the similarity ends there.  This is one of the best chocolate bars I've ever eaten, and while it's not packaged as a beautiful gift, I'd be thrilled to be presented with one (or more) of these on any occasion!As a milk chocolate, Galaxy contains a minimum of 25% cocoa solids, less th...

I love Cherriflip's products.  Everything they offer is stunning.  I recently made a large purchase, which included their Citrus Whip Trifle Bubble Bar.  When I recieved my order, I was pleasantly suprised with the size, and estimated that it would last me 2 baths.  This bubble bar has lasted me 4 baths, and in the last bath I took I dumped what could've been another...

I love Cherriflip.  Their products are so wonderful, and their customer service is second to none.  I recently purchased their Secret Heart bubble bar, as it's a "Special product" that is on their website right now.  I was so amazed with how pretty it is!  The bubble bar is two layers, with little decorations on top, in the shape of a heart.  It's ador...

We have two sliding glass doors in the back of our house.  they both have locks, but I like the feeling of extra security.  We bought two of these dual function door security bars so that I felt safe when my husband was not home.The bars are amazingly flimsy. While they were easy to install, it did not stay in place.  About a month after screwing it into the wall it fell out...

One of my customers gave me the Bee Bar as a Christmas gift.  Since my hands are always in water and chemicals, I looked forward to trying this bar out.  The listed ingredients are, shea butter; Jojoba; bees wax; lanolin; cocoa butter; sweet almond oil; and vitamin E.  All good stuff.It comes packaged in a cute round tin with a bee embossed onto the lid.  The same ...
