If you have a budding little marine at your house, then consider this outfit.  Since my dad is retired USMC, my son (his only grandson) has had cammies for as long as he can remember.  This set is unique though, because THIS set is the new desert camouflage done with a computer in pixils so that no two are exactly alike.  The old cammies blended with trees so they were shades of ...

Mexx is great brand of clothing due their designs. I can spend a long time in the Mexx stores and retail outlet. On one such trip I saw a cute orange safari-looking shirt and I had to get it for my son! This shirt a deep burnt orange in colour and has a collar, 3 buttons down the middle that stop mid-chest, shoulder loops and two front breast pockets. Each pocket has two pleats and a covering f...

Throught the Desert is a board game where you have different colored camels and a board with spaces to put your camels on. Each player (from 2 to 5 players) has a different color rider for their camels. You have many ways to score, longest caravan, controlling oasises, etc.  This game sets up very quickly and is easy to learn. Players take turns placing camels (two at a time) on the board....

There were times when we were obsessed with products from bees, like bee pollen, bee propolis, honey, and the latest, royal jelly. My hubby happened to be a representative of an MLM company, US-based, called High Desert. We regularly consumed this around a year ago, and it’s called Royal Jelly tablets, from High Desert. It comes in a pot with 90 tablets in it (it’s meant for 1 and a...

When I got my 8 year old son these Crocs for Christmas, I wasn't even sure he would wear them, since he's pretty particular about what he wears.  But my daughter and I are such huge Crocs fans that I thought they were worth a shot.  I liked the idea that they would be light and comfortable, and their antimicrobial (read: non-stink forming!) material was a definite bonus.&...

  Being tall, it can be a real challenge to find shorts for my guy.  They are either too short, too tight, or just plain dorky.  I found Dockers desert cargo style shorts at Marshalls.  The tag actually caught my eye because it listed an 11 inch inseam.  The tag also stated that the front will still lay flat so even though there is extra fabric they won't bunch up.&...

Desert Essence's 100% pure jojoba oil for hair, skin and scalp is exactly that!  This was $7.95 well spent on a four ounce wonder bottle that works on practically every area of your body!  My husband and son use the oil in their hair after they shampoo and I mix the jojoba oil in my body lotion and occasionally mix it in my face cleanser as well.  What is wonderful about...

Personally, the only thing that pulls me back from daily moisturization is the yucky feel of lotions sticking onto your skin while you go around your business. It is uncomfortable and you just pray nobody accidentally brush against you and thinks you are having overly active glands.This product is a dream. I cannot help gushing over it and this has to be the best body moisturiser I ever used. T...

Pavement was an Rock band formed in Stockton in the early 1990's. Crooked Rain Crooked Rain was their second full length album, and L.A.'s Desert Origins is the two disc reissue, including much previously unreleased material.While Pavement's first album, Slanted and Enchanted, buried the band's pop sensibilities beneath amateurish production values and shambling instrumentation,...

I really enjoy playing war games like Desert Strike - Return to the Gulf. It's a war game from an oblique perspective where you control a Apache chopper equipped with several weapons to accomplish your mission, which is usually to destroy certain enemy key buildings. I really love the feel of a one-man mission against all odds, but in this case, it's a one-helicopter mission to stop the...

I purchased this book from harlequin a few days ago and within a few hours I had read the entire book. What can I say I am a sucker for a good love story whether it's a movie or a very good book.This story is about a sheik who rescues a girl from a ghastly prison in a neighbouring country and has to end up marrying her for political reasons.They started out as two strangers trying to do wha...

Eight and a half years ago, I invested in my first pair of hiking boots - the Vasque Sundowner.  Having a very narrow foot, I bought a narrow pair of the Sundowners, and they fit perfectly.  Additionally, I really liked the reddish-leather design.Alas, after years of great wear, the boots finally called it quits, and it was time to replace.  Sadly, in the interim, Vasque had ceas...

I've been to Santa Fe, New Mexico multiple times and for different reasons. Once I was there for New Years Eve, a different time on a roadtrip with friends and a third as a community service project. Each time I was mesmerizd by the beauty of the land and the taste in crisp clean air. I love Santa Fe because it seems so perfectly natural. The clay buildings in he town center house art galle...

They are salad/desert plates and we used them to serve deserts for the month of October leading up to Halloween. The plates have a great design and colors true to Debbie Mumm's style of...

In 2003 when we came back to the States so that I could be near my family during my fight with my chronic disease, my brother had a Dodge Neon. The car was almost new. It had been in a crash (back end was smashed), but only had 5,000 miles on the odometer.Since I needed to go to a military base near SF for medical treatment. My brother basically gave us the car for repairs. (My brother worked a...

There isn't much to say about Old Tucson Movie Studios because there isn't much at Old Tucson Movie Studios. I went with my family thinking it would be a fun activity since my husband loves westerns and my daughter wants to be an actress, but it wasn't fun so much as funny in a depressing sort of way. The park is experiencing some rough times since the golden age of the western has ...
