Best Way to Cut Multiple Coupons – SLICE Safety Cutter review and pictures
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012
I can’t think of anyone who doesn’t need this product.
Between my various writing jobs, I receive at least one or two packages every day. Sometimes it’s a box covered with tape, sometimes it’s a thick envelope full of bubble wrap. And scissors on their own are not the easiest way to open things. No, the Safety Cutter by Slice works far better than anything else I’ve used.
Slice Safety Cutter
I’d say you don’t have to take my word for it and you can just see the dozens of positive star reviews on Amazon, but I really want you to listen to me!
There is a tiny ceramic blade that let’s you safely and quickly open or cut into items. They suggest using it for scrap booking, cutting coupons, taking shrink wrap off of DVDS… all sorts of things. It’s safe, it’s not going to cut you – which amazes me. I mean, they want me to put this on a keychain? I tried putting it a ... Read More
Comfortable, Ergonomic Tweezers by SLICE – Review and Pictures
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012
In a few words: Pretty. Ergonomic. High-Quality. Useful.
The only reason to change the tweezers you use is if they really give you a drastically better performance. And I found that with these Slice Tweezers.
If you want a really great ergonomic tweezer that’s easy to use, then you want a good designer behind the product. And that’s what you have with the new Slice line of tweezers, all designed by famed architect Michael Graves.
Ergonomic Tweezers: Combo-Tip Soft-Touch Tweezers
I was sent a pair of the Combo-Tip Soft Touch Tweezers, and I believe it when they say it took them two years of testing before they settled upon their final design. But why do I believe that? Because I can hold it in my hand not just easily, but near perfectly. They refer to it as being “hand-filed and perfectly aligned.” It’s got a coating that keeps it easy when you grasp it in your hand and with your fingers, which is nothing I’ve experienced with the dozens of tweezers I’ve used before. But that’s not the only thing that sets this pair of tweezers apart.
These Michael Graves tweezers by Slice are offered in this combo-tip which has both a slanted and ... Read More

Weight Loss Hypnosis Reviews: BodyMind CD
Monday, February 13th, 2012
With a particularly open mind, I agreed to listen to the BodyMind Weight Loss Hypnosis Mp3 (3 parts) and then share my thoughts. What is their claim? That through autosuggestion techniques, they can basically hypnotize you into losing weight. That’s a huge claim! I mean, man.
Note: You do not have to be as thin as the image above. This is just the one the site uses. I believe in making positive choices to be active and to eat healthy.
Of course, even the most skeptical has to agree that autosuggestion aka hypnosis is an actual psychological technique that has worked. And our subconscious mind truly is receptive to suggestions while we sleep. When I nap on my couch my dreams incorporate items from whatever was on the TV both before I fell asleep and also while I was asleep. And that can be funny, depending on what you’re watching.
So, weight loss hypnosis sounds like it’s crazy, but it really does have some merit.

Best Sugar Free Desserts: Chocolate Box of Lurve
Friday, February 3rd, 2012
It may be with a groan that you decide to limit your sugar intake, and I’m right there with you. Luckily there are really healthy and beautiful some role models (with rockin’ bodies of course – think: Yvonne Strahovski) and enough qualified doctor-y people on TV reminding me how bad sugar is that I’ve been making a slow decline in (real) sugar consumption. So, I decided that I would try sugar free chocolate. And that’s when I came to the Illinois Nut and Fantasia Chocolate Company. Surprisingly, they make all sorts of sugar free candy (taffy, truffles, gummi’s), including sugar free chocolate. Since I often hate cooking, pre-packaged stuff is right up my alley as the best sugar free desserts around.
Side Note – Celebrities Who Don’t Eat Sugar:Leaving sugar behind is sad, so opt for high-quality stuff. I got to sample the Sugar Free Mixed box of Sugar Free Chocolates. And there were several strong winners in this box according to my reputable taste buds.
Here is what there was:

Christmas Gift Basket Ideas for Couples with Lake Champlain Chocolate AND Marich Chocolate Cherries!
Monday, December 12th, 2011
Looking for the perfect gift basket for you and your significant other to cozy up with while you relax? I have a suggestion that I do believe you’ll find works pretty perfectly. I’ll get into what I loved most, and even the one item that I wasn’t a fan of.
So, let’s begin! I had the chance to review the Christmas Gift Basket Classic™ from Gourmet Gift Baskets. It retails for $59.99.
General ImpressionPeople love gift baskets, and this one is no exception because it’s sent in a very nice basket with festive decoration (including a fake red poinsettia flower to top it all off. I let Posie play with it for hours.) Everything is always stacked up so great that this is always an impressive gift to give.
By far the best part of this basket is the Marich chocolate covered cherries. NOM NOM NOM. Delicious. No lying. I’m going to buy some off of Amazon today to include in Christmas presents, I think. I really wish that Gourmet Gift Baskets would do an entire basket devoted to the different Marich products! And then I also wish they’d send me that basket to review. ... Read More
Handmade Jewelry Seen on TV: Unique Necklaces, Gold Lotus Earrings
Thursday, December 8th, 2011
For those wondering if handmade jewelry ever has success with celebrities and the entertainment industry, fear not. Peggy Li is an example that it does. From San Fransisco, Li creates jewelry that has been seen on TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer (a personal favorite of mine), Private Practice, The Secret Circle and Hart of Dixie.
I believe Peggy Li jewelry contains edgy twists on classic designs. They are all timeless and elegant with that bit of edge that makes them feel very “now.” …Now, let’s explore!
These Paradox Earrings made of blue chalcedony and coral are going to cheer up any outfit.
These are some great chevron earrings with a Long Drop!
