Written by Jessica C. Two weeks ago, I was privileged to represent New York Chica and attend the Oxy Clinical event. Having suffered from acne throughout my teenage years as well as a young adult, I couldn't wait to find out how Oxy Clinical worked. So...what is Oxy Clinical? Oxy Clinical is an over-the-counter acne medication that offers breakthrough complexion care, providing pharmaceutical-grade medications and continuous-release technology to treat, heal and help prevent acne … [Read more...]
Re-imagine Wool, The Ramblers Way
July 24, 2010 by Leave a Comment
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine. When I hear the word "wool" I think about the sweaters that were given to me during the holidays that were hot, heavy, itchy or most of the time, all three. I've had my share of wool sweaters that have collected dust in my closet and have gotten sent to the Salvation Army because I could not bear with the feel of the fabric. At this very moment, I don't own anything that is wool except for a coat … [Read more...]
Clarins Foot Beauty Treatment Cream | Review

Summer is officially here! The air is warm, the sun is beaming bright and the flowers have bloomed beautifully. It's time to put away those sneakers and boots and get those dry, cracked heels in tip-top shape to sport those cool flip flops and nice looking sandals. I don't know about you but I've seen my share of ugly dry cracked heels. I could not wear my sandals if my heels looked like that - no way! My husband wouldn't let me live the day either. He is the one to let me know if … [Read more...]
Look Out World, Here I come: New York Adventure Kit | Review
July 5, 2010 by 1 Comment
A few months ago, I was sent Look Out World, Here I Come: New York Adventure Kit for my 5 year old daughter. It wasn't until just a few weeks that we actually took a look at it and I'm so upset that we didn't see it sooner. Living in New York has made us appreciate the city even more now. If you're planning a getaway to the Big Apple and you have young children, this 36-page activity-filled, city-themed book is perfect. It also comes with a DVD so New York City comes alive right before … [Read more...]

Movie Review: When in Rome
June 22, 2010 by 5 Comments
Over the weekend, my hubby and I had an evening to ourselves. The kids went into another room to see some shows on tv while the "lovebirds" (aka hubby & I) sat on the sofa like a couple of teenagers in love. Every time I see a romantic comedy, I get all excited. It's my favorite type of movie. I get my pillow and blanket ready to get comfy on the sofa. It's "my" tradition when it's movie time at our house. I was really looking forward to seeing When in Rome because it came from the … [Read more...]

Recently, my five year daughter and I had the opportunity to try out a brand new and fun product from V-Tech. It's called the MobiGo Touch Learning System. We received it over the weekend and already she's a pro at it. She loves it and takes it everywhere she goes. I'm happy to say she doesn't ask for my iPod Touch as much as before (Thank you V-Tech!). I love that it's portable and she can play with it anywhere. It's especially great for those long, boring doctor appointments or long … [Read more...]

A few weeks ago, I was invited by my lovely friend Nancy to attend the YouCake event that was held at the MoonSoup. If you don't know what YouCake is, let me explain. YouCake is a custom-made cake topper (can be from any photo) that's made from edible ingredients. It's made out of corn starch, sugar & food coloring (edible ink) - that's it! The topper is totally edible, tastes great and looks beautiful at the same time. The cake toppers are kosher, allergen-free, gluten-free & … [Read more...]
MyBlogSpark and General Mills Sweet and Salty Review & Giveaway
May 30, 2010 by 92 Comments
My family and I love our snacks. After dinner, we like to have a sweet or salty snack to calm the savage beast within us (LOL). We can't help it. It's that time to relax, watch some TV and enjoy each other's company. But there are times when we have nothing to snack on so I'll drive to our local convenience store to get some much needed grub. When I'm at the store, I tend to browse all the aisles looking for that perfect snack, especially when I'm alone. Either I'm looking for something … [Read more...]
