Recently, I was sent a box filled with an assortment of Unilever products such as, Dove deodorant, Ponds towelettes, Dove hair mousse and more. I’ve been a Unilever buyer for as long as I can remember. I first learned about Pond’s cream from my Abulelita (Grandmother) growing up. She always had beautiful skin and she owes it all to Pond's cream. Looking at my grandmother whose skin was always so fabulous and smooth, I started using Ponds when I was just a teenager and I have to admit, my … [Read more...]

Banana Shpeel by Cirque du Soleil
November 13, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Cirque du Soleil was started in 1984 by two former street performers, Guy Laliberté and Daniel Gauthier in Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec. After much success over the next few years, they managed to win the 1991 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and they continue to wow their audience. There is no other show quite like Cirque du Soleil. The first and only time I ever saw the show was in 1994, when they celebrated their tenth anniversary. It was the most amazing show I have ever … [Read more...]

Last Sunday, I joined other bloggers to preview the new HP Photosmart Web Printer. It was a very intimate blogger's event that showcased the newest member of the HP family.

The one feature that struck me was that you can have your photos printed straight from the cell phone right to the printer. I never thought, in a million years that a … [Read more...]

EA Naughty or Nice Event in NYC
November 6, 2009 by 2 Comments
A couple of weeks ago, my four year old and I had the pleasure of attending the EA Naughty or Nice event in New York City. The EA team was there showcasing new games from all their labels; EA Sports, EA Games and EA Play. It was held at a swanky club called The Providence Nightclub in the West Side on 57th St. This was my first time in the club so I was amazed. In every corner, I saw “toy” bags filled with fake gifts that were labeled Naughty or Nice to represent the games that were on … [Read more...]

Keurig Elite B40 Brewer | Review & Giveaway: Sponsored by www.Shoffee.com
November 3, 2009 by 356 Comments
The Keurig brand has had a great reputation and it's growing every day. Because of that, I've wanted one for the last few years because I've heard many great things about the brewer and to be honest, I'm really the only person that drinks "coffee maker" coffee since my husband is an instant coffee drinker, yuk, I know. So, whenever I made coffee in the coffee maker, I had to throw the rest away because I only wanted one cup. So, when I found out that www.Shoffee.com will be giving me one … [Read more...]

Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure | Review
October 28, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Tinker Bell has always been my favorite character in Peter Pan so it’s no wonder when Tinker Bell came out with her very own movie last year, I was probably one of the first ones to go out and buy it. My daughters will also agree. They both LOVE any movie that is Disney, especially when it comes to princesses or the best fairy in town, Tinker Bell. Tinker Bell was recently named “Honorary Ambassador of Green” by United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public … [Read more...]
