Attention Jeff Grogg: Put Down the Box
Kashi developer Jeff Grogg has threatened to eat cardboard if his new all natural (healthy) granola bars tasted like cardboard. Jeff, put the box down. I repeat, step away from the little white box.
Recently I posted that Kashi was offering to send a free granola bar for customers to try. I just received mine the […]

Zyliss Spoon-Spatula
It’s a spoon. It’s a spatula. It’s a spoon-spatula. Leave it to the Swiss to make hip gadgets. Not only is the silicone kitchen gadget aesthetically pleasing, but it’s multi-functional, too.
The spatula is both flexible and stiff, and with the handy-dandy spoon you can save the time of getting a second utencil (not to mention […]

Publix Sushi
I love grocery stores. On my last trip to New York, I was just as excited to wander around Dean & Deluca as I was SoHo or Chinatown. Locally, nothing beats Publix or Fresh Market. You never know what specialty brands or new items you may find.
At one local Publix, I can always count on […]

Fresh is refreshing …
… and in more ways than one. Although I had purchased one Fresh product during Bath & Body Works big sale a few months ago, I hadn’t used it yet, and didn’t know anything about the company. Just last week Fresh.com had a blowout sale with huge savings. Having never ordered from the company before […]

Labor Day = Sales and Deals
If you don’t want to spend any money, don’t leave your house. Not even to return something. I had to return a pair of pants at the Gap Outlet, and while I was at the register, I made the mistake of looking back. And when I did, I saw 50 percent off dress pants, regular […]

Febreze Air Effects Effectively Freshens
This is another one of those products my mom brought from Publix. She chose the linen & sky scent, which I love for its fresh and clean smell. It does just what it says on the bottle - eliminates odors and freshens the air. I have four cats and a dog, so anything that will […]

Take the Spark challenge
Unlike Alicia, I’m not brave enough to go on Oprah’s Debt Diet. I love shopping way too much to deny myself. Not to mention my wardrobe is in desperate need of revitalizing. But what I needed to revitalize even more were my eating habits, so thanks to my friend (and Chicago shopping buddy) Carmen for […]

Showdown: Reward Your Style vs. DSW Rewards
If you’re currently enrolled in DSW’s Reward Your Style, then you recently received an e-mail announcing their new program. DSW says they’re improving the program to give us more, but is it really more? With the new program, we’ll earn $10 after spending $150 on regular-priced selections based on earning 10 points for every $1 spent […]

Mama Mary’s Buttermilk Pancakes
If my mama had made these, we’d have been eating out every morning. They’re somewhat fluffy, but the taste is what you would expect out of the box - tasteless. There’s just no substitute for homemade, made-from-scratch pancakes. The warm up in the microwave kind just aren’t going to cut it.
