Murad Vitalic Energizing Pomegranate Moisturizer
I have been a fan of Murad Brightening Treatment for years and was dismayed when it was discontinued. I have been buying it off ebay and other retailers that still had a supply, but this month I decided …

JAVOedge Cherry Blossom Book Style Case for Amazon
This is a GREAT "book-style" cover for a Kindle. It's well made, sturdy, and beautiful on the eyes. It protects my Kindle (which I throw into my handbag frequently) and does a good job of it. It's unique, …

I really thought this album was going to be a masterpiece- stunning voice, and some of my favorite songs of all time.    But it just doesn't work. And I've been thinking about it for …

Champion Women's 6-Pack Performance Ankle Socks
I use these socks as a substitute for slippers- I'm not big on going barefoot and I have some foot problems, so I like having something soft on my feet when I'm not wearing shoes. These socks are nice …

Body Glove Womens Long Arm Lycra Rash Guard Shirt
These rash guards DO run small, and are a bit short as far as arm and torso length (I'm 5'4", and about 128 pounds and the arm length isn't long enough for me) but the snug fit IS great if you are a competitive …

Traveling with Pomegranates: A Mother-Daughter
I've read most of Sue Monk Kidd's work and I enjoy both her fiction ("Secret Life of Bees" and "Mermaid Chair") and non-fiction (especially "Dance of the Dissident Daughter") equally.     That …

Juiceman JM1000M Juiceman Express Junior Silver
This juicer is easy to use, easy to clean up (almost every part is dishwasher safe), and packs a punch. While it's not some giant monster unit that will take over your entire counter, it's still an appliance- …

Backseat Saints
This was a tough book for me. I like to lose myself in books, and whether the stories are happy or sad, there *needs* to be somewhere in the book that's a "safe" spot for the reader to perch and take …

The Nobodies Album
It's been a VERY long time since I've read a book straight through, and I really haven't felt the need to see a book through in once sitting, but I could *not* put "The Nobodies Album" down.     The …

Wrigley's Juicy Fruit Gum, 15-Stick Slim Packs
Just an FYI: Juicy Fruit "re-engineered" their flavor in 2003 after getting criticism about the amount of sugar in the gum and it's NOT the same as the Juicy Fruit you chewed as a kid. Now it's got aspartame …

Drawing Lab for Mixed-Media Artists: 52 Creative
I have no shortage of art/craft books- both those for inspiration and those for instruction, but "Drawing Lab" tops them all. Not only does it offer both inspiration and instruction, but it does so in …

Adagio Teas 3 UtiliTEA Variable-Temperature
I LOVE this kettle. I use it daily. I received it as a gift and didn't think it would make life *that* much easier, but it really has. I simply press the start lever and off it goes. It heats water quickly …

Yes, Victoria has undergone some major changes. It even disappeared for a few years, which broke many hearts.     And, no, it's not quite the same as it was at its peak, but the fact …

Sima's Undergarments for Women: A Novel
There must be something about this book I'm not getting, because I don't agree with the rave reviews here.     As others have noted, this is a book about a middle-aged shop keeper …

Scott Hawaii Toddler/Little Kid Tropicana Wedge
I actually bought these shoes so my daughter could gain a tiny bit in height for an activity we were doing- just an inch gave her enough of a "boost" to reach up to something and be able to participate …

Scotch Precision Scissor, 8-Inches
You can't beat the price on these. These are comparable to my Fiskars and so much less expensive.     I don't know how long the blade will continue being super-sharp, but for now these …

Thule TTSB-1 Black Seat Back Sling Organizer
This bag is WONDERFUL.     I really thought it was going to be like a giant totebag that you sling over the car seat and use for storage, but it's really not. Instead, it's like a …

Littlest Pet Shop
I have to admit, when my four year old wanted to use some gift money on this game, I was hesitant. She's not yet reading, and some of the reviews note there is a lot of text involved.    I …

Celsius Calorie Burner, Green Tea Peach Mango,
