I was thrilled to test out the DQCakes.com website. I've browsed on there before, but haven't ever ordered from it. The process is so simple, I would definitely order through there again. All you have to do is select your local store, pick what cake you'd like, enter your information, and you're good to go. The cake will be ready in 2 days (or longer if you've selected a later pick-up time).
There is definitely a huge selection of cakes, especially when you look at all the designs available for their traditional cakes. I think almost anyone, from little kid to adult, could find a picture or design that would appeal to them. I decided to order a Blizzard cake, as the special flavours really appealed to me.
I ordered the 10" round Turtle Brownie Blizzard Cake as an early birthday present for myself. The taste was really delicious, though the "turtle" part was quite subtle, depending on what piece you had. The presentation of the cake was gorgeous, and the quality was good. Everyone who had a piece said they really enjoyed it.
A Blizzard cake is definitely something I would order again, though I think I would try a different flavour, just because there are so many to choose from, and they all sound great.

Overall this is a great product. It's super lightweight and easy to handle. The fact that it's rechargeable is really convenient (though as one reviewer pointed out the bottom of the handle gets quite warm while charging). You can tell it does a good job cleaning, as your teeth really do feel smooth like after going to the dentist. Plus the two settings? Very smart, because you can use the sensitive/gentle cycle for your gums or if your teeth are feeling sensitive that day.
Does it clean better than a regular toothbrush? I would say yes, though how much better I couldn't say without using it long term. And while I don't think I would use the smaller head very often, the fact that it comes with the brush is great. My only complaint about the performance of the brush itself is that because I have a very small mouth sometimes the buzzing bothers me. By that I mean the the unit/arm of the brush sometimes hits my teeth and vibrates, causing a bit of discomfort. Not sure how to remedy this without being extremely cautious in my teeth brushing.
Mostly, though, I would recommend this product wholeheartedly if it weren't for the cost, which I find pretty steep. I understand that the unit itself is an investment, but then having to pay for new heads (minimum $5 per head) adds to the cost even more. If cost isn't an issue for you, absolutely check out this unit. I love the design of it and the way it works.

Old Navy Flip Flops

These are a great summer grab, especially when they're on sale! I am probably the world's biggest flip flop queen. I probably have 20 pairs or something sitting on my shoe rack. And these? Are the greatest! While I'm sure they're not as comfortable or high quality as something which costs more they are perfectly capable of being worn for a few seasons. And I have bought more expensive flip flops before, and these are still my favourites. I think the quality was better a few years ago, but they're still really decent. Long live Old Navy flip flops! -
Star Trek - 2009
Amazing, amazing movie. I think all the actors did such a good job playing homage to the original roles while still making the character their own. If you have a Star Trek background you're probably more likely to enjoy this than someone else... +
Amazing, amazing movie. I think all the actors did such a good job playing homage to the original roles while still making the character their own. If you have a Star Trek background you're probably more likely to enjoy this than someone else, but I am by no means a Trekkie or sci-fi fan in general, but this movie is GREAT. The actors are amazing, the special effects are great, and the plot is enjoyable and easy to follow for even a novice sci-fi fan. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. -

I really, really enjoy this system! I need to find a friend who has one so I can test the wireless feature - I haven't been able to do this yet. Anyway, I have really been enjoying the games... a lot of them are made for younger kids so they go too quickly for me, but they're still fun. I've especially enjoyed playing Mario - I love the innovations of the touch screen they've added for certain elements. Of course most people will want to buy the DSi now that it's out, but I think the DS Lite will continue to do well for a while. -

Really like this product. I used to have a really itchy scalp (especially in winter time) and since I've been using this that sensation is almost completely gone. I agree with the reviewer who says it can leave scalp/hair a bit greasy - not so much the day of washing, but the next day. I am trying to find a balance between using this shampoo too often and not enough, but overall I am really impressed with the product and would recommend it for dry and/or itchy scalps. -
LUSH Dream Cream
I've used Dream Cream every day for about 4 years and I absolutely adore it. The price might scare people off, but I think it's worth it. You don't need to use a lot, and a 240 g tub lasts me around 6 months or so. This cream works... +
I've used Dream Cream every day for about 4 years and I absolutely adore it. The price might scare people off, but I think it's worth it. You don't need to use a lot, and a 240 g tub lasts me around 6 months or so. This cream works perfectly with my skin type: it doesn't leave my skin feeling too oily, but it doesn't dry it out either. I also have to mention the amazing scent. To me it smells like the perfect essence of clean. I always get compliments about how good I smell, and I swear this has something to do with it. -
