Face Moisturizer Product Review - Nivea Creme
So winter is upon us (at least in some states) and thought I should start writing about a couple of things I’ve tried to keep dry skin away. One of them is Nivea creme, the blue tin ones you see practically in every drugstore. I bought the small tin for $0.99 cents and I’m so […]

Laundry Soap Product Review - All Free Clear Laundry Liquid Detergent
For people who have sensitive skin or are prone to having skin allergies, All Free Clear Laundry Liquid Detergent is a godsend. Years ago, I had a terrible skin rash for days and I couldn’t figure out what was causing it, despite having an allergy skin test. Finally, after talking to a co-worker, she suggested […]

Hair Styling Product Review - Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream
I’ve been using this cream for the past two years. My hair is very thick and wavy and I straighten it about 3x a week. I put a small amount of this after I shower on the ends of my hair and a little bit after I straighten it. The result is bouncy, soft, shiny […]

Preview: Apple iPhone
Last Monday I was able to test out the new iPhone in our Apple store. Although it was already four days after it was released, people were still lined up and anxious to see it.
The iPhone is thinner and lighter as I expected. The control buttons were minimalistic and simple - true to its Apple roots. […]

How Colgate Gel-Kam fixed all my teeth and gum issues
Thanksgiving might be over, but more holidays involving food have yet to come. Remember, with great food comes great responsibilities - to your teeth! Have you been dreading going to the dentist lately? I used to. Until, one day, while I was eating a beloved Fuji apple, I imagined how tough it would be to […]

The treat worthy of all caloric proportions - Dove Ice Cream
This product combines my two loves - good chocolate and good ice cream. Dove ice cream comes in pint tubs and all flavors are topped with a layer of chocolate ganache. I have no idea what “ganache” means but to me its synonymous to delicious. The chocolate has a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture and the ice […]

Shoe brand review: Born shoes
First time I laid my eyes on Born shoes, one word came to mind - orthopedic. It had thick looking soles and very unflattering shape for a sandal. But I was desperate for some comfy shoes, and walking on pavement for hours does take a toll on your sole. So I decided to try on […]

Havaiana flip flops - only slightly better than your average slippers
Are all flip flops created equal? This was the subject of a chat conversation I had with shopgirl_trang some weeks ago. I have a pair that I got from Walmart - a cheapie for $3.99. I wondered if a high-end brand for a flipflop would make any difference. I mean - what other high end […]
