Sunday, December 30th, 2007We don’t have dental insurance at work, and I suspect many out there are in the same predicament. We do have the option to purchase it separately, but as with all things insurance, it never went very smoothly for me. Claims weren’t paid, it was all a big hassle, and at the end […]
Post-Holiday Sales
Sunday, December 30th, 2007Hey You! Shoppers Rule No. 10 is quite simple. If you at all can, wait until after the holidays to make purchases. The after holiday sales will save you insane amounts of money — some I’ve seen are up to 80% off original prices. Sure, it totally sucks that retailers take advantage […]
iPod Accessories
Thursday, December 27th, 2007Is there anyone out there that can possibly resist the urge to accessorize your iPod just as you would your dog? Perhaps the most important of all iPod accessories are those that protect them from harm. iPods are, after all, quite pricey items, and on their own quite fragile. My particular favorites are the silicone […]
Gift Certificates
Thursday, December 27th, 2007When trying to give this an eyeball rating of some sort, I found it more difficult than any other product or service I’ve thus far reviewed. Mainly, I think, because there are so many pluses and minuses to the giving of a gift certificate, that it is difficult to come up with an ultimate, definitive […]
Going Somewhere?
Tuesday, December 25th, 2007I find one of the biggest issues to tackle when planning a vacation is finding a hotel that suits my particular preferences and is priced within what I’m willing to spend. Enter Hotel Reservations, a website that allows you to locate hotels, resorts, motels, and all things in between in what looks like almost […]
I Am Legend
Tuesday, December 25th, 2007*No spoilers here. Read with freedom from worry!
Yesterday, The Husband and I went to see the highly anticipated I Am Legend. Now normally, when a movie has been so hyped up both in the media and by friends, I will generally wind up disappointed. Not so, however with I Am Legend. This movie was so […]
Sleep Number Beds
Tuesday, December 25th, 2007Have you ever tried one of these Sleep Number beds? You know, the ones you always see Linsday Wagner hawking on TV? Have you seen those commercials? She’s so serious about it, so sort of deep throated and concentrated, as if she were delivering a message about world peace rather than a […]
Modular Valet
Thursday, December 20th, 2007Might as well finish up the reviews on The Husband’s chanukkah gifts. The dresser valet is nice looking, roomy, and well made. He seems to be enjoying it. However, something as simple as a valet needing to have directions included doesn’t bode all that well in my book.
Indeed, the “secret” compartment is difficult to get […]
For My Fellow Buxom Beauties
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007Is there anything more terrifying to all but the super models among us than bathing suit shopping?? I assure you, it is even worse when you are, shall we say, in need of the extra support that you don’t normally find in swimsuits. Now, you can shop online (the privacy factor is a […]
An Unlikely Gift: Collar Stays
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007With my review of Red Envelope complete, I should at least fill you in on some of the goodies I mentioned ordering for The Husband over there. Perhaps the cutest little gift for the man who has everything I’ve ever seen is this set of Hidden Message Collar Stays. OK, so collar stays […]
