Starbucks
Big Starbucks fan here! No body makes a soy latte like Starbucks. Nothing else even comes close. And their star rewards program is actually really good quality if you work it right. I don't eat the food, or even the treats often, but the drinks... +
Big Starbucks fan here! No body makes a soy latte like Starbucks. Nothing else even comes close. And their star rewards program is actually really good quality if you work it right.
I don't eat the food, or even the treats often, but the drinks are without equal. And if you order something and find you don't really care for it, they'll just whip you up a cup of something else with a smile. Happy, friendly baristas are part of what I love most about Starbucks.

COVERGIRL Natureluxe Gloss Balm
I have several Natureluxe Gloss Balms and I love the sheer bit of colour (most of them) but they really don't do anything for me moisturewise. By the end of the day, I'm looking for my Burts Bees balm. But to be fair, I don't think any colour... +
I have several Natureluxe Gloss Balms and I love the sheer bit of colour (most of them) but they really don't do anything for me moisturewise. By the end of the day, I'm looking for my Burts Bees balm. But to be fair, I don't think any colour products are great at moisture retension and CoverGirl has done a pretty good job with this one. I'd buy it again. -

I have tried a few SoftLips products and had the same experience with all...they dry my lips out, which is exactly the opposite of what is supposed to be happening! I loved the price, I loved the taste and feel, but the results were very disapointing. I guess if dryness is not at all a factor but cost is, this may be a good option. But I won't be buying any more of Softlips. -
Clinique High Impact Mascara
It's a great mascara. Doesn't irritate my eyes and it washes off cleanly, but doesn't smudge. The problem for me is price. I used to pay it, but I've found less expensive mascaras that work just (or almost) as well and are much more cost... +
It's a great mascara. Doesn't irritate my eyes and it washes off cleanly, but doesn't smudge. The problem for me is price. I used to pay it, but I've found less expensive mascaras that work just (or almost) as well and are much more cost effective. But I do love Clinique products. -
Aveeno® Daily Moisturizing Body Wash
Aveeno is the best body wash I have ever tried. Leaves my skin feeling clean, but also hydrated. My skin never feels dried out after I use this product and I often forget to even moisturize after using it. The only body wash I will use now!

I have very sensitive teeth. It's been the thorn in my side for as long as I can remember. I've tried every sensitivity toothpaste out there and most of them gave a degree of relief, but I thought I just had to live with the pain or the aweful taste! Until I tried Cogate Sesitive Pro-Relief . . . it stops the pain, it keeps the pain away, and it tastes like toothpaste, not medicine! Pricey, yes. Worth it, YES!
Last month I cheeped out and bought a competitor's brand and boy, did I regret that. Couldn't wait to finish off that tube and go back to Pro-relief.
If you have sesitive teeth that haven't responded to other sesitivity pastes, you have to try this one.

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

Years ago a friend told me that I 'really have to read this book!', but I never did. That is, until my son read it in the eighth grade and couldn't stop talking about it. He typically won't touch anything that isn't science fiction, so I figured it must have been a great book to get him so excited. I read it, and he was right, it is a awesome read.
It makes you think, it makes you feel, and it makes you uncomfortable at times. But it's always entertaining and I feel just a little smarter somehow for having read it! Highly recommended.

I got a bottle of Cool Water as a birthday gift a couple years ago and I fell madly in love with it (as did my husband.) This fragrance is not 'perfumy' but so light and fruity and flowery - in a GOOD way. It is not aggressive, but it gets compliments. It's the perfect summer time fragrance. -

The only body lotion we use in our house. Aveeno is SO effective on my husbands dry skin and is the only one that never irritates my sensitive skin. It absorbs quickly and never leaves you feeling greasy. It's great on a sunburn too. I've tried a lot of lotions over the years, but I've given up the search because nothing else compares. I can't say enough about it....Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Lotion is the best! -
Polysporin® Triple Antibiotic Ointment
Polysporin is the secret weapon in my first aid kit. I swear that when I use it on a scrape or cut, they heal twice as quickly. My husband thought I was just being a sissy, running for the antibiotic ointment so quickly until I talked him into... +
Polysporin is the secret weapon in my first aid kit. I swear that when I use it on a scrape or cut, they heal twice as quickly. My husband thought I was just being a sissy, running for the antibiotic ointment so quickly until I talked him into trying it. He couldn't believe how it speeded up the initial healing. -
