T-fal Vitesse 7-Cup Electric Kettle
A few months ago I reviewed a Philips electric water kettle that I loved, but then I discovered mineral deposits forming in the bottom. After a little research, I realized a stainless steel bottom would resolve this issue and set about looking for a replacement kettle. And here it is, T-fal’s Vitesse 7-Cup Electric Kettle […]

Duro-Med Pill Crusher
If I lived with Hercules, this would be a great product, but unfortunately Duro-Med does not include him with their product.
Here’s how it works: Unscrew the top, put in your pill, replace top and turn until pill is crushed. Sounded simple enough to me and at a little over $3, the price was right. I’ve […]

Pinzon Santoku Knives and Bamboo Cutting Board Set

The best thing about this cutting board is that it has a storage drawer with two […]

Review: On-the-Spot Acne Treatment
Rarely do we write about things we aren’t happy with, but here’s a product that I recently purchased that just didn’t live up to my expectations: Neutrogena’s On-the-Spot Acne Treatment. I paid about $6; maybe a buck more, maybe a buck less, but should have opted for one of the other acne treatments. Shopgirl_trang’s recent […]

simplehuman Flip and Fit Shower Caddy
It’s been a while since I’ve used a shower caddy. There never seemed to be one that worked that well - it either didn’t have enough space to fit all the different-sized shower necessities or it slipped or it rust or it wasn’t very attractive to begin with. And then I saw the simplehuman […]

Book review: Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
OK, so is a book a product? Sure, I say. Thus, We Talk Shop’s first book review. Let me say something upfront … this is how I would describe this book to a friend, I’m not writing a hoity-toity book review like a professional book reviewer. OK, disclaimer over.
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, by […]

Face Wash Part Deux - Peter Thomas Roth: Beta Hydroxy Acid 2% Acne Wash
I’d run out of every last drop of my Shiseido: The Skincare [gentle cleansing foam] like one runs out of water in a desert.
Now what to do? What to do…….borrow my boyfriend’s face wash of course!
Just so happened at the time I’d begun my skin care kick, I got my boyfriend into it too. With […]

Face Wash - Shiseido: The Skincare [gentle cleansing foam]
We’re baaaaaack!
That’s right. The Shopgirls are blogging again! So, prepare to experience my many trials with face wash. I have two versions below. Feel free to skip to the short version and straight to the product review if you’d like to avoid my longwindedness. But, the long version is much more fun, I think. […]

SoyJoy All Natural Fruit & Soy Bars
I was totally sucked in by the cheerful advertisements and colorful packaging, score one for marketing. Armed with my buy one, get one free coupon, I checked both of my local Publix supermarkets for the product, but it wasn’t available yet. My mom found them in Walgreens. I was surprised when she told me they […]

Review: Reef Fanning sandal and Croc Sassari wedge
I’ve been a Reef wearer for years now, but always end up tossing my shoes not because they are worn out, but because my feet seem to get dirty the older the flips get. When I realized, recently, that my current favorite pair of Reefs (the Tigris) was two years old I decided it […]
