I have resisted buying eos lip balm for several years. It just seemed too trendy for me and I didn’t feel the need to buy what everyone was buying. My sister resisted too for somewhat similar reasons…the egg shaped container really annoyed her. I broke...

I visited my sister at work yesterday and her friend Pam told me about Blue Q socks. And…they are pretty awesome. The messages are hilarious and say exactly what you are thinking some of the time, but may not say out loud. Unless you are my sister or me. If...

So…I was visiting my friend Pauline this week-end and she asked me if I owned a Veggetti. “I think that is a personal question,” I replied to her. Cue 12 year old boy sounding giggles. She then showed it to me – it is a vegetable slicer...

I’m really enjoying Rimmel’s 3D gloss – especially Popcorn for 2. I picked it up one night when I was looking for a neutral gloss and have been very pleased with it. It is a nice light peach that doesn’t look “peachy” on my lips....

I kind of have a love affair with all OXO products. There have been a few misses over the years, but for the most part, I love everything they produce. My latest obsession is the Salad Chopper and Bowl. I recently came to terms with the fact that I am not a...
