It can get quite expensive, especially for a student living on a budget, to keep up with all of the greeting card and thank you note purchases I must make to keep up my good reputation among relatives and friends.Thankfully, one area I am able to save some money on is the purchase of thank you note packs, rather than buying individual thank you cards for all the generous peo...

After recently having a baby, I have a ton of Thank-You cards to send out to everyone showering my daughter with gifts.  Being the creative being that I am, I personally designed her birth announcements in a trendy pink/brown polka-dot theme.  Being the old-fashioned girl that I am, I wanted personalized Thank You cards to match the look and feel of the birth announcements with minima...

     Let me preface this by saying that I don't usually shop for lingerie, especially bras, at Wal-Mart. OK, sometimes I get packages of Hanes panties there, but I prefer better stores for lingerie. I was quite surprised to see Playtex bras there, and still wonder if it was just a quirk. I bought this without trying it on, which I don't usually do either, but I could...

Here's a little note....Big Thanks from Tinkerbell!My daughter found these thank you cards and envelopes listed on ebay.  She called me and said the auction was almost over and no one had bid on them yet.  Starting bid was $.99!  I bid on them and when no one else had bid...I got the two packages, a total of 20 cards and envelopes for $.99 plus shipping, which is much&nb...

"Michael Jordan plays ball. Charles Manson kills people. I talk. Everyone has a talent." - Nick Naylor, in the fictional black comedy novel Thank You For Smoking. The novel is a hilarious satire on the tobacco and, in an interesting standpoint, anti-tobacco industries. The book bites hard at both sides, with a seeming, and possibly subjective, stance on total neutrality. Thank You For...

I bought a 3 pack of Dove Mosturizing Deoderant from Costco.  I was excited to see if it truely improved the skin under my arms. I have to admit that in this category, it met my expectaions. I do like that it decreased the itching from razer burn.  However, it didn't do much for me when it came to order/wetness protection.  Even on days where I wasn't doing a lot of exerc...

Kelly Clarkson is the winner of the first season of the reality TV series American Idol. Shortly after she won, her first CD called Thankful was released. This CD does a great job at showcasing her impressive vocals, even if the songs are not the greatest. Thankful does have some memorable songs that I never tire of listening to, while there are a few that are just mediocre and I tend to skip o...

Thank God for Singapore Airlines (SQ) was what one of our friends recently said when we brought him to the airport to take a long flight home. In the last 20 years, I have flown a dozen  airlines to various destinations that demanded at least 6 hours flying time. In the past five years, I have paid more just to fly with SQ and even taken longer less direct routes even w...

I got this product to use with Jason’s Lavender Satin Shower Body wash. I love the Satin Shower so I figured this would be great as well. This Lavender Hand and Body Therapy is natural and certified organic… the tube is clearly marked 70% Organic. It also says that it is an anti-aging antioxidant blend; sodium hyaluronate helps retain skin elasticity. INGREDIENTS The ingredie...

I've always had a problem with excessive sweating (thanks to my parents), and have tried just about everything under the sun. I figured I'd give one more name-brand deoderant a chance before I sign up for prescriptions from my doc. I'm weary of antipersperants due to the aluminum content and don't want to walk around smelling like a hippy sporting an organic deoderant. ...

My 9 year old has had food allergies since he was 2.  Where ever he goes, so does his epi pen and benadryl.  For 7 years now, I have packed up a bottle of benadryl into a bag, backpack, my purse, car, fanny pack...well you get the idea...basically everywhere.  Unfortunately, we do have to use it more than I would like and once opened, it tends to leak.  So then I'd put i...

 How many of us have been out and we have the hubby and the kids with us and we hear"honey can you put this in your bag, please"? Well, I have a review for each and everyone of you sitting there nodding your head. This is a stylish shoulder bag with waterproof material on the outside and a heavy duty lining to prevent rips.The main opening is zippered ,the inside has a large...

My husband and I have Allstate Insurance. As an Allstate member they provide us with roadside assistance. Last Weds at about 4:30am we had to call them because we couldn't get our car to start. All it would do is click as the key would turn in the ignition.We immediatly got on the phone to our roadside assitance, Pop - A - Lock. Within the hour they sent someone out who was very nice a...

What can I say....Santa knows me and he knows me well, which is why every Christmas he puts my favorite truffles in my Christmas stocking - Lindt Milk Chocolate with white filling. YUMMY! Don't get me wrong, I pretty much love all the Lindt Lindor Truffles but the milk chocolate with the smooth white filling is by far my favorite. I am a good girl all year long just to get them. L...

While I have been battling this super cold I have been blowing my nose constantly. About 2 days of doing this and almost 2 rolls of toilet paper later my husband brought home these wonderful kleenex. Have I been living under a rock? How could I not know of the greatest creation since sliced bread?! These Puffs Plus kleenexes with Vicks are amazing. They are soft, and gentle on my red irritated ...

"Jack pointed to the cover of the book and said, ‘I wish we could go there'. The wind started to blow. The tree house started to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then everything was still. Absolutely still."The Magic Treehouse series by Mary Pope Osborn has spiraled into an incredible series that not only teaches kids about history, but lets them see what it would be like to...

My daughter loves to draw very much. She is fond of drawing girls with different clothing, hair style and accessories using her favorite pencil, Faber-Castell. At home and in school this is her pastime to keep her busy. Her Tita, my eldest sister who is a Teacher/Math Coordinator, gave her these Crayola mini washable markers. These are the cute little version of the original full sized markers ...

I got into blogging January of 2008. My hubby's friend introduced it to me and I got interested. Who's not? I can earn while at home taking care of my kids. Good deal isn't? For the first three months, I worked with that friend while I am working out with my own blog. When she needs to remit my payment she asked for a Paypal account because our works are being paid under Paypal. Wha...

Perhaps we just got a bad "batch" of this Rain-X De-icer windshield washer fluid but that still doesn't quite make up for the color this fluid is.  This past winter I hopped in my car one morning and was driving down the road and began having difficulty seeing out of the windshield thanks to a particularly wet snowfall that left the car in front of me spitting up dirt from th...

This mug I got from my mom. I think it’s been in my mom’s house since she was little. So it’s about forty to fifty years of age and I think it's China-made. It’s kind of funny actually, that the old stuffs tend to be stronger than the modern or newer ones in terms of their material quality. My mom also has some other antiques that still stand there for almost a decad...
