Product Review: Wreaths Direct

product-review-wreaths-direct

There is nothing so special as the scent of fresh pine on a crisp autumn or winter day, but I grew up accustomed to (and quite fond of) plastic Christmas trees, because my mother is allergic to pine, and because plastic is less attractive to our four-footed family members.
Enter the annual wreath. Because it […]

Product Review: Ryvita with Pumpkin Seeds and Oats

product-review-ryvita-with-pumpkin-seeds-and-oats

Earlier this year I developed an intolerance for wheat products, which my doctor advised me could improve with time, if I gave them a complete break. As a result I have been looking for wheat alternatives. There are some great “free from” products out there, such as pasta, breads and even cakes.
I’d tried original Ryvita […]

Product Review - Before Grain Cat Food

product-review-before-grain-cat-food

Yes, I’m writing this review at the bequest of my cats.  Years ago we upgraded from Fancy Feast to other more nutritional wet foods, or at least more expensive ones.  We went through the Wellness line, Tiki Cat and just about every other brand out there, but with three finicky felines, there was always one […]

I’m fairly certain that many, many of you have tried one of my favorite over the counter drugs, Benadryl.  It’s a remarkable anti-allergy medication.  Gone are the runny noses and itchy watering eyes.  It comes in many different varieties for adults:  liqui-gels, ultra tabs, quick dissolve strips and capsules.  Children can consume it in liquid […]

Product Review: Laura Mercier Cosmetics

product-review-laura-mercier-cosmetics

Earlier this week, a parent of a student that I work with came into my office.  It was late in the day, and would you even believe, she looked like she had just left the house, as if it were early in the morning, make up still perfectly intact.  Well, I’m one of those girls […]

Product Review: Maybelline Great Lash

product-review-maybelline-great-lash

I was gifted with long eyelashes, which isn’t as lovely as it sounds, because, for one thing, I can either wear mascara or sunglasses, but not both. Sadly, I also have the kind of skin that most make-up melts from fairly quickly, which means when I choose to wear mascara, I have raccoon eyes by […]

Product Review: Starbuck’s Vivanno

product-review-starbucks-vivanno

Are you guilty of substituting coffee beverages when you are on the go?  Would you like an option of something quick as well as nutritious?  Instead of ordering a Triple Java Chip Frappuccino (which I love) try the new Starbucks Vivanno Beverages.
There are two flavors:  Chocolate Banana (my favorite) and Orange Mango Banana.  The Chocolate […]
