Aquis Microfiber Hair Towel - cut your hair drying time in half! (well, almost)

Some time ago, when I actually paid attention to tv infomercials, I was intrigued by this mystical towel that promised to absorb water from your hair and help it dry faster. I was blessed (or cursed, as I sometimes feel during bad hair days) with uber-thick hair. It is so thick that sometimes it takes […]

DSW, why did it take me so long to find you?

A few of the shopgirls were talking about DSW the other day so I decided to venture out there on my lunchbreak today. I walked down several aisles and found at least three pairs of shoes that I just had to have. I either find everything or nothing. Today I found everything. And, I didn’t […]

Chicago shopping

Filene’s Basement. Nordstrom Rack. Hellooo Chicago. That’s where I’ll be Monday, strolling down Michigan Ave. and spending quality time with my friends Filene and Nordstrom. I might even drop in on H&M; it’s been too long. If you see me, give a wave, I’ll be the one basking in shopping afterglow.

And btw, if you haven’t […]

The dethroning of iPod

Has it been done? Has the iPod finally been ousted from its throne? CNET awarded the Toshiba Gigabeat S with its editors’ choice ranking and gave it the highest rating yet of any mp3 player (8.3 out of 10). That’s right, besting the iPod 8.0 rating.
As an iPod devotee since the 4G B&W, like others, […]

Swiffer Sweep+Vac

I love my Swiffer Sweep+Vac. I can whip this thing out in no time and remove almost all of the dirt, tumbleweeds and dust bunnies from my laminate flooring and tile in minutes. And any dirt it doesn’t get, the cloths will. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, just the way I like […]

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

So tonight I finished my 8 oz tube of this mask… err, “masque”. I bought this mask hoping that it would “dry up acne pimples, rinse away blackheads and even help shrink enlarged pores”. I didn’t make that up, that was written on the tube. And I’m sad to say that this product did not […]

The Chopper Challenge

Does the perfect chopping tool exist? I’ve yet to find anything that works as well as my two hands and a knife, but that takes too long unless your a master chef or on a Ginsu commercial. I think I own at least four chopping tools and none of them get the job done 100 percent […]
