Review of:
Petco
Impeccable customer service
September 27, 2012
PROS: customer serivce
After we got our puppy, my boyfriend and I went here to get some food and the other necessities. The associate spent at lest 45 mins with us, walking us around the store, explaining the different types and levels of food, among other things. I was incredibly impressed. They're expensive, but the service is AWESOME.
Verdict:
Will definitely return

Review of:

YUMMM
September 27, 2012

I really like these chips! I work a desk job and these are the perfect mid-day, guilt free snack.

Review of:
LÄRABAR Energy Bar
pretty yummy
September 27, 2012
as far as energy bars go, these are pretty good. they have a good taste to them without having the chalky aftertaste, and come in a huge variety of flavors!
Verdict:
great for hikes and outdoor activities
Review of:
Whole Foods Market
amazing store, wayyyyy overpriced
September 27, 2012
PROS: variety
Healthy living should be a choice, but Whole foods makes sure that it is only for the upper echelon of society. Their prices are ridiculous, albeit having every organic/vegan/alternative product out there. I'll stick to Sunflower market.
Verdict:
too expensive
Review of:
Country Life® Maxi-Hair
I'm impressed!!
September 27, 2012
PROS: includes all the supplements your hair and nails could ask for!
I had an unfortunate bleach experience at a salon that burned off my hair... so I started taking biotin. When I got maxi-hair, I was REALLY excited that it was so much more than just biotin, and it is really helping my hair and nails! I can't believe I've already seen a difference, I'm very impressed and will DEFINITELY continue taking it!
Verdict:
MIRACLE product
Review of:
The Original™ Dish Drying Mat
A WONDERFUL alternative
September 27, 2012
PROS: elegant look
For a while, I've been using a plastic dish drying rack (which takes up a ton of space and does not look pretty at all)... I was stoked when I got this beacuse its much cleaner and nicer looking, and doesn't show hard water spots like the rack. What a great discovery!
Verdict:
Love love love it
Review of:
Influenster Naturals VoxBox 2012
So Impressed!!
October 1, 2012
PROS: all great products, all new to me
QUICK TIPS:
Try everything, it's worth it!
This was my first Voxbox, and I can't even describe how much I loved it!! There was a great mix of products in it, from food to beauty to home, and I wasn't disappointed with any of the products I received. I LOVE the maxi-hair supplement, it was definitely my favorite!
Verdict:
AMAZING box, AMAZING company!
Review of:
Woodchuck Cider
Great cider, not too sweet
October 1, 2012
PROS: Great flavor, not overpowering.
QUICK TIPS:
Drink VERY cold :D
I love this stuff for when I'm feeling something sweeter than beer! It has a great flavor without being overpowering, and hard cider is AWESOME all times of year! And of all hard ciders, Woodchuck is my favorite, best flavor and sweetness for sure.
Verdict:
My go-to Cider!
Review of:
ACQUA DI GIO Men Fragrance
SO DELISH
October 1, 2012
QUICK TIPS:
Keep your wits about you when you pass a man wearing this ;-)
This is my favorite men's cologne of all time. I love the scent, its alluring and masculine without being overpowering.
Verdict:
Allurign
Review of:
The Body Shop Beauty Products
Great shop, somewhat pricey
October 1, 2012
CONS: a little pricey
QUICK TIPS:
Go during the xmas season, awesome sales!
I LOVE the bodyshop, and would spend every paycheck there if I could. I have some of their body butter that has literally lasted forever! They are a bit pricey compared to some, but they carry quality products that I love.
Verdict:
Yummy flavors, quality products.
Review of:
Ferrero Rocher® Chocolate
Ultimate luxury chocolate
October 1, 2012
PROS: Rich enough to have just one
QUICK TIPS:
Put the box away before you eat the chocolate, to risk not devouring the entire box at once :D
If you want to taste heaven in your mouth, buy these. There is simply nothing out there like it; they are luxurious and soft and delicious, and there is nothing better.
Verdict:
Unbeatable
Review of:
Apple iPhone 5
Big screen is nice but I was hoping for more...
October 1, 2012
PROS: Bigger screen
QUICK TIPS:
Wait for something more exciting.
I was really hoping for more from this phone. I like the big screen but I'm irritated that I have to buy an "adapter" and new accessories because they changed the 30-pin to the new "lightning" port. I haven't found a feature yet that is truly mind-blowing, so I guess I was hoping for more.
Verdict:
Apple is still the best, but this release is not worth the hype.
Review of:
Victoria's Secret PINK Must Have Basics
The bombshell is the way to go!
October 1, 2012
PROS: Huge lift
QUICK TIPS:
Only shop there during the semi-annuals in January ad July :D
I never thought I'd get one of their "adds 2 cup sizes" bras, but when I started running and dropped 1 1/2 cups, I found myself in VS. Their bras are spendy, but definitely the sexiest out there!
Verdict:
Awesome quality
Review of:
Advil Tablets
Fast acting
October 1, 2012
PROS: Works well
Though I try to avoid pain killers, I like advil when I need something for a killer headache.
Review of:
Swiffer Sweeper® System Wet Premoistened Refill Cloths
Easy to use, but doesn't get in the cracks
October 1, 2012
PROS: Disposable cloths are nice
I like the swiffer, and appreciate the moist cloths, but it really doesn't compare to a proper mopping. It just doesn't get in the cracks.
Verdict:
Good for a quickie
Review of:
Clorox Disinfecting Wipes
Use these constantly
October 1, 2012
PROS: Quick and effective clean
QUICK TIPS:
Buy at costco in a 3-pack
I LOVE these wipes. They're textured so they clean well, and kill all the bacteria. I use them in the bathroom all the time, and couldn't live without them.
Review of:
OPI Nail Polish
Not to shabby
October 1, 2012
PROS: Great names for colors, super entertaining.
QUICK TIPS:
Buy at Ulta, they have sales a lot
I like OPI a lot, and I adore their creative names for the different colors. But when it comes down to it, I just cant justify paying $8/bottle.
Review of:
IKEA
Could live here, like the commercial
October 1, 2012
PROS: Incredible selection
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ikea. Their catalogs are great for inspiration, their prices are low, and they have good knowledgeable associates. I adore their entertainment centers!
Review of:
Live Strong Strong
GREAT company
October 1, 2012
PROS: SUPER Charitable, please support!
Their charitable practices are unparalleled. Their site is unbeatable for healthy living, and I'm so glad they are getting as popular as they are!
Review of:
Grey Goose Vodka
Simply the best
October 1, 2012
PROS: Smooth
When making martinis, grey goose is simply the best when it comes to quality.
Review of:
NECTRESSE™ Natural No Calorie Sweetener
Very impressive
October 1, 2012
PROS: Used in baking, works well
Instead of using teh sweetener in coffee like I usually would, I decided to try cooking with this one. I made vanilla crepes with cream cheese filling and fresh strawberries, and I can tell you, the sweetner was AMAZING. It worked great in the crepes, I think it actually made them more moist. It didn't have that fake-sweet taste either.
Verdict:
Good for cooking
Review of:
LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer™
Silky smooth
October 2, 2012
PROS: lasting moisture
I really love this lip moisturizer, it is very silky! I like that it has lasting moisturizing properties as well, it doesn't wear right off. It goes everywhere with me!
Verdict:
delish!
Review of:
Jack Daniels Whiskey
Jack and coke all the way
October 8, 2012
QUICK TIPS:
Drink sparingly.
She's a whiskey girl!! MMMMM that's me. Whether at a bar or a bbq, Jack always fits.
Review of:
Apothic 2010 Red Wine
Fabulous red
October 8, 2012
PROS: smooth, inexpensive, delicious
Everyone I know is obsessed with Manege Trois, but this is a great competitor. Smooth and bursting with the tell tale explosion of a blend, I love this stuff.
Verdict:
A GREAT BLEND
Review of:
Master Of Mixes Pina Colada Cocktail Mix
Sweet to the point of overpowering
October 8, 2012
This mix is good, but I add other ingredients to it because it is so wicked sweet.
Review of:
Mary Kay TimeWise Miracle Set
Soft Skin
October 11, 2012
PROS: can get set suited to your skin (combo/dry/oily)
QUICK TIPS:
use daily!
I really like the MK timewise collection, but this set is missing the most important part: the micrdermabrasion! I just LOVE doing a full facial with the microderm, it leaves your skin soft, exfoliated and refreshed.
Verdict:
good all around set
Review of:
The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion
Tea Tree is so refreshing!
October 11, 2012
PROS: Leaves skin feeling refreshed
QUICK TIPS:
buy it on sale :D
This is probably one of those scents you love or hate, but I love it. The Body Shop's tea tree line has a fantastic scent, and this lotion is great for leaving your skin nice and matte.
Verdict:
Delicious
Review of:
NYC New York Color IndividualEyes Custom Compact
Perfect natural smoky palette
October 11, 2012
QUICK TIPS:
Use with a higher end primer for more lasting results
This palette is great for a wide range of smoky eye looks, whether you want a more natural (creamy yellow) or a dramatic (grey/black) look. I like that this palette comes with an illuminator too, perfect for the inner corners of the eye.
Verdict:
Very nice pigment and color blend
Review of:
CeraVe Renewing Lotion
Dermatologist recommended
October 11, 2012
PROS: fights skin breakouts
QUICK TIPS:
Keep using
My dermo recommended this to me for those annoying bumps you get on your arms. I really like this lotion, but its definitely something you have to keep using. Its a bit spendy ($15 I think I paid?) but the S.A. does help clear your skin without drying.
Verdict:
I'll keep using it!
Review of:
Jergens Natural Glow & Protect Daily Moisturizer SPF 20
When they say "Gradual" they mean it
October 11, 2012
CONS: takes forever to kick in
This stuff takes FOREVER to work. I have pale skin and had to get the dark skin version to even see a difference. I liked the result after multiple uses, but it doesn't seem to penetrate more than the top layer of skin because it didn't last long.
Review of:
Holiday Inn Hotels and Resorts
They're everywhere
October 11, 2012
PROS: inexpensive comparitively
Holiday Inn's are everywhere, and they're always a great value for your money.
Verdict:
I'd stay here
Review of:
KAYAK.com Website
I tend to favor expedia
October 11, 2012
I like Kayak, but I tend to use Expedia. To me, its just slightly more aesthetically pleasing :D
Verdict:
functional, great resource
Review of:
Airborne® Effervescence
A TRAVEL MUST
October 11, 2012
PROS: Doesn't taste too bad
QUICK TIPS:
Get it at walmart!
Between airports, planes and hotels, traveling inevitably weakens your defenses. I ALWAYS take this stuff when I'm traveling.
Verdict:
Teachers know best
Review of:
P90x Extreme Home Fitness
Perfect for in home workouts
October 12, 2012
PROS: can use in relatively small space, without much equipment
QUICK TIPS:
Use in addition to regular cardio workouts (running/cycling, etc) if you're trying to lose weight
I have p90x, and though I don't use it as my only form of workout, I really like it. p90x is perfect for those snowy days when you don't want to drive to the gym or only have a limited time to work out. Its also nice that you don't need a ton of equipment to get a full body workout, as it focuses primarily on resistance training using your own body weight.
Verdict:
A nice range of workouts to use intermittently
Review of:
Valeo HW10 10-Pound Neoprene Hand Weights
Perfect for mini-workouts/p90x/insanity in-home wokrouts
October 12, 2012
PROS: neoprene is a big plus
QUICK TIPS:
Use for in-home workouts
I really like these neoprene hand weights, they're relatively inexpensive and great for those in home dvd workouts like p90x or insanity.
Verdict:
Versatile and comfortable to hold
Review of:
Nike
Nike got me to start running.
October 12, 2012
PROS: tough, breathable, supportive, great colors
QUICK TIPS:
Go to the outlets to get a discount
Now I'll be honest, I used to HATE running. But when I realized that my self-directed gym workouts just weren't doing the trick, I started running with some friends. I bought some hot pink Nikes (and I know it sounds lame, but they looked so cool, it encouraged me to wear them!!!) and they were not only extremely comfortable, supportive and breathable, they ELIMIATED my shin splints, which were teh reason I never ran in the first place. I've now run a max distance of 14 miles, and am still in the same shoes :D
Verdict:
FABULOUS product, will last for a LONG time
Review of:
Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Remover
Disappointing...
October 12, 2012
QUICK TIPS:
Go with a home-made carpet cleaner, it works better and it's cheaper.
I bought this stuff really hoping it would work and I didn't find that it removed the stains very well. I found that I was better off using the home remedies I found online, like dish soap and water or vinegar spray, etc.
Verdict:
Wouldn't repurchase
Review of:
Kong Dog Toy
Virtually Indestructible
May 5, 2013
PROS: tough, versitile
QUICK TIPS:
fill with peanut butter/other snack and freeze!
These toys are great! I fill one with peanut butter, freeze it, and give it to my puppy almost daily. The only dog I've seen best this toy is my dads pure-bread lab, but nothing survives him...
Verdict:
yes
Review of:
Blue Buffalo Dog Food
love love love
May 5, 2013
PROS: #1 ingredient: meat
only the best for my baby girl!!! I feed her the lamb mix (she's a lab/pit mix) and she loves it. It's healthy for her, has quality ingredients, and is very easy to clean up once she digests it. My number one requirement with dog food is that the #1 ingredient is meat, so I know she's getting the right amount of proteins, nutrients, etc. and this food is definitely great for that.
Verdict:
yes
Review of:
Guinness
Irish Car Bombs baby!!
May 11, 2013
PROS: dark, good flavor, not super high in calories

yes
Review of:

May 14, 2013

These are a classic. They taste great, and both kids and adults love them. They are perfect for outdoor activities because they're so portable!
Verdict:
yes
