Review of: The Body Shop Beauty Products

Okay

October 1, 2012

Products smell great, but I never seem to get outstanding results.

Review of: WEN® Cleansing Conditioner

SOFT Hair

October 1, 2012

PROS: Soft Hair

My hair is known to be very dry, but WEN really does a nice job of making my hair feel super soft. It is very pricey (and I have long hair), so I only use it for special occassions.

Verdict: Splurge Item

Review of: Live Strong Strong

Hope

October 1, 2012

PROS: Help cancer survivors!

QUICK TIPS: Wear it proudly!

100% of all proceeds (after expenses) go directly to cancer survior programs and services. This is a great way to give back and make a positive statement for those in need.

Verdict: Positive Message

Review of: Skinny Girl Martini

Worth a Try

October 4, 2012

Everyone has mixed feelings about Skinny Girl Martini. If you're used to sugar-filled martinis, you'll probably be disappointed with this product. My suggestion is to take the time to adjust. Personally, I'm not a fan of sugar-packed drinks, so this product is right up my ally.

Review of: Victoria's Secret PINK Must Have Basics

SUPER SOFT

October 4, 2012

PROS: Super soft and comfy clothes.

QUICK TIPS: Watch for sales and sign up for their emails. You'll get free undies and discounts.

If there is one thing I can count on, it is for PINK clothing to be super soft! There are some days when I were VS PINK clothing from head to toe -- including undergarments. While I'll admit PINK is a bit on the pricey side, I usually stock up during their annual sales (winter and summer) to snag some great deals. Having the VS credit card will also unlease savings and special discounts.

Verdict: One of my favorite stores!

Review of: Cold Stone Creamery

Tasty but Pricey

October 4, 2012

PROS: Personalize your ice cream however you want!

QUICK TIPS: Keep an eye out for coupons!

Cold Stone is great for a splurge day, but not worth buying on a regular basis. You can get your ice cream however you want and they make your ice cream right in front of you. Sign up for their emails and you'll get coupons and freebies in honor of your birthday.

Verdict: Splurge-Worthy

Review of: Meaningful Beauty® Complete Skincare Kit

OKAY

October 4, 2012

PROS: Skin feels soft.

QUICK TIPS: Use in the morning and at night.

I've seen results from using this beauty kit -- especially around my eyes. I started using at age 29 and I've noticed that the fine lines by my eyes are looking better. Other than that, I haven't noticed any other changes.

Verdict: Worth a try.

Review of: Recreational Equipment Inc

Quality Products

October 4, 2012

PROS: Quality Products, Helpful Staff

QUICK TIPS: Shop the Scratch & Dent Sale!

REI is my favorite outdoor supply store! The people who work there are very knowledgeable and will provide lots of answers. It's very easy to spend a lot of money, so consider checking out their Scratch & Dent Sale -- you can find some really great deals!

Verdict: I love REI!

Review of: PlayStation 3 System 250GB Uncharted 3 Game of the Year Bundle

Amazing Picture

October 8, 2012

PROS: HIGH Quality Display

QUICK TIPS: Worth getting, especially if you plan on using it for watching Blu-ray movies.

PS3 delivers amazing picture on our Samsung HD LED TV. We are very pleased with the quality! My husband plays games (like Uncharted 3) on our PS3 more than I do. He's not a serious gamer, but he enjoys them.

Verdict: Blu-ray quality is amazing!

Review of: Bacardi Oakheart

Warm

October 8, 2012

Add this to your Coke (or Diet Coke) and you'll feel all warm inside. Great for a cozy fall drink.

Verdict: Good

Review of: Abercrombie&Fitch Authentic American Clothing

Way too pricey!

October 8, 2012

PROS: Trendy

QUICK TIPS: Check thrift stores for slightly worn AF clothes to save money.

I used to shop here all the time -- years ago! Their clothes got too hoochy and the price really wasn't worth it.

Verdict: Too Pricey

Review of: Madden NFL 13

Fun!

October 8, 2012

PROS: Great Graphics

QUICK TIPS: Your first time playing, be sure sure to play with someone who knows the game.

My husband LOVES football -- an Madden. I've played with him a couple of times and it was fun. There are a lot of options, so make sure you play with someone who understands the game.

Verdict: Fun Game

Review of: Oxfam America

Good Cause

October 8, 2012

Help a great cause and you'll even get to write it off on next year's taxes. Win/Win

Review of: PetSafe Invisible Fence

Great Option

October 8, 2012

PROS: Leave your yard open.

You don't have to worry about a bulky fence taking up your yard. Invisible Fence will leave your yard feeling open while keeping your pets within your property.

Review of: Whole Foods Market

Great Shopping Experience

October 10, 2012

PROS: Quality Products

QUICK TIPS: Sometimes Group has deals for shopping at Whole Foods.

Whole Foods is a wonderful place to get groceries. You're probably going to spend more than usual, so if you're on a budget (like me), shop at Whole Foods for special occassions, specific items, or when Group offers a deal. Whole Foods even offers coupons on their website. So if you can combine a Groupon deal with coupons, you're golden!

Verdict: Worth shopping at when you can afford it.

Review of: Oprah's Angel Network Charity

Be an Angel and Help

October 16, 2012

QUICK TIPS: Count your blessings, I'm sure you have some to spare. Share them with others!

Oprah has a generous heart and you can see it in her work. Supporting a good cause can be an uplifting and encouraging experience. It is in our human nature to be selfish, so let's break the mold and put others first! Let's train ourselves to put the need of others before our own comfort -- it'll lead to a much more caring world.

Verdict: Support this cause!

Review of: EA Games The Sims

Super fun!

October 17, 2012

PROS: Lots of personalized options.

QUICK TIPS: Play when you have lots of free time.

I have been a fan of Sims for several years now. As the years go by and the Sims evolve, the more choices you get when you play. If you plan on getting into this game, make sure you have a few hours to play. Just getting a game set up can take a long time because you've got lots to choose from.

Verdict: You can easily lose track of time and play for hours.

Review of: Influenster Makeover

Great Makeover

October 18, 2012

PROS: LOTS of information.

QUICK TIPS: Visit Influenster on a daily basis!

The new layout for Influenster is a bit more complicated than it was before. However! It is still very easy to get used to. Influenster is a way for consumers to feel like their opions matter. It is a way for consumers to communicate with each other and influence products -- sharing both pros and cons in the process. It is a way for honest testimonies to be shared and heard. While not every product is available for review, there are ceratinly a number of key products worth reading about and sharing.

Review of: Sports Authority

No significant sales

October 22, 2012

PROS: Nice variety

While I check Sports Authority for my sport needs, I find their prices to be a bit high and their sales aren't very significant.

Verdict: Better sales online.

Review of: Justin Bieber Someday Perfume

Okay

November 16, 2012

PROS: Sweet Smell

QUICK TIPS: But it at TJMaxx or some other discount store for the best deal.

So one day I was shopping with my husband and while he was looking at something I sprayed JB's Someday Perfume on my wrists. When I met up with my hubby I asked him to smell my wrists and to let me know what he thought. He's very honest and straight forward with me, so I can rely on an honest answer from him. He said it was a pretty good smell. Not his favorite, but wouldn't mind if I wore it. He was surprised when I told him it was JB perfume. Ha ha!

Verdict: yes

Review of: Forever 21 Stores

So-So

November 16, 2012

PROS: Nice variety/selection.

QUICK TIPS: I recommend store like Charming Charlie before I recommend Forever 21.

Forever 21 has a nice variety of clothes, but they must deal with a lot of people stealing from them. You cannot return anything and I always feel like I'm getting the third degree when I check out... "You know, all sales are final." I'm not one to buy things I don't plan on using/wearing, but the attitude I get from this store doesn't influence me to be adventureous, but rather more cautious. I only buy items that I'm really serious about, so I don't shop there too often.

Verdict: no

Review of: RedBull

Okay

November 26, 2012

PROS: Gives you energy.

Redbull is an aquired taste, much like coffee -- but I like coffee a lot more.

Verdict: yes

Review of: Kong Dog Toy

GREAT!!

November 28, 2012

PROS: Comes in a variety of sizes for any dog!

QUICK TIPS: Freeze peanut butter inside the Kong, the dog will take longer to get everything out.

My puppy LOVES her Kong. While crate training our pup, we turned her Kong into a "crate only" reward. We fill the Kong with natural peanut butter and let it sit in the freezer -- it takes her much longer to get all the peanut butter out. This Kong has made crate training a positive experience for our puppy.

Verdict: yes

Review of: Hunger Games Book

GREAT

November 30, 2012

PROS: Easy Read

These books are very easy reads and very entertaining.

Verdict: yes
