Wish-Bone Salad Spritzers
Wish-Bone has the right idea. I don’t like gobs of dressing in my salad, so when I saw the new salad spritzers, I had to give one a try. I chose the Italian, but they also have Balsamic Breeze and Red Wine Mist. The spritzing is unfortunately more of a squirt than a spray. I […]

Mom always said to eat your veggies. And although I’ve never had a problem eating them in the past, they have definitely moved up on the priority list for dinner. Move over steak, here comes the Baby Broccoli & Cauliflower Florets with Chives described as “baby florets with chives, lemon and a touch of real […]

Roomba Robotic Floor Vac: “Clean now…”
My husband saw the Roomba vac when it first came out, and he wanted it right away. I kept saying, “that’s not gonna work — it’s just a gimmic.” Well, we did finally get one and now I couldn’t live without it. There’s something about lugging out a big vacuum that has always deterred me, […]

Aveeno Therapeutic Shave Gel - the best shaving cream for sensitive skin
A couple of years ago, I visited my dermatologist for a very annoying (and embarrassing) problem. I developed a skin rash from God knows what. I had rashes from my lips down to my calves. Over the years I’ve learned how sensitive my skin really is and avoid a lot of products that has a […]

N.Y.C. Color Wheel Mosaic Powder
Shopgirl_Joyce recently called me a CVS junkie, and it’s true, I do have an affinity with the drugstore. I feel a tingle when I see my new weekly ad in my mailbox and can’t wait to see what beauty deals are lurking inside. Imagine my delight when I saw, emblazoned in pink, 1,000 NEW BEAUTY […]

What the Croc?
I know that Crocs are popular. I know that people all over the country are wearing them. I know kids think they’re cool. But, I didn’t expect to see a man wearing bright orange Crocs today. Yes, it’s true. Bright orange Crocs. Bright orange Crocs on a seemingly manly man. Maybe he is a UF […]

IKEA is coming, IKEA is coming!
Today, I had the honor of being the first to tell the other shopgirls that IKEA is coming to Orlando. Shock, chills, goosebumps … oh, the excitement of *THE* I-K-E-A coming to our community. Yes, it appears to be true. No more trips to Atlanta, no more salavating at Plantation, FL for getting one. We, […]

Put your best shine-free face forward with Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets
“Summertime, and the living is easy…” Yes people, summer is upon us. Here in Florida, that means hot, humid, and humid (that’s no typo, I said that twice for emphasis). And on my face, it means my skin will bounce more light than your grandma’s old metal sun reflector.
Ok, I exaggerate. But this is […]

Cocoa-Latte Machine is yummy, yummy!
Ok - so I’ll admit it - I am addicted to Chai Tea Latte.
I am not a coffee person, so when my husband would go to Starbuck’s or Barnie’s, I of course wanted to have something to drink and found Chai Tea Latte. From that point on I was on a quest to find […]
