My family and I are movie gurus. We watch movies all the time, especially on the weekends. It's a great way to spend time with your family and save money too. A couple of weeks ago, I received Boot Camp to review so my husband and I decided to watch it last night. I saw the trailer on Youtube before so I knew I would enjoy this movie, especially since I have a teenager now. Here's the summary of the movie below: A group of troubled teens are sent to a rehabilitation program housed in a … [Read more...]

I was recently given the opportunity to try out the new Pillsbury Simply... Chocolate Chip cookies.

I was really impressed with the ingredients. You can read AND understand every word. And because it has no trans fat, no high-fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. -- … [Read more...]
Yoplait Fiber One 50 Calorie Yogurt Review & Giveaway for 3 Winners!
August 29, 2009 by 10 Comments
A few weeks ago, MyBlogSpark contacted me to try out Yopliat's Fiber One Nonfat 50 calorie yogurt. I was excited to try it because I love adding yogurt to my smoothies. And since I'm not the healthiest eater, it makes me feel like I'm doing a good job in eating right. The only thing about yogurt is that I don't really like yogurt if its eaten with a spoon. Yea, I know it sounds weird to write a review on Yogurt but it MUST be in a smoothie in order for me to enjoy it. I have no idea why; … [Read more...]

The Tiger’s Tail | Movie Review
August 11, 2009 by 3 Comments
It's Movie Tuesday!!! Last night, my husband and I saw The Tiger's Tail. It's a drama-thriller type movie. It should not be seen with kids because of its rating (R). It truly is an adult movie. There's no sex (well, one sex scene but no nudity was seen) or anything provocative, it's just that they wouldn't understand and they'll probably fall asleep anyway. The movie is based in Dublin, Ireland, starring Kim Cattrall (Jane O'Leary), Brendan Gleeson (Liam O'Leary), Ciaran Hinds (Father … [Read more...]
Ecostore USA | Review & Giveaway!
July 31, 2009 by 13 Comments
I was contacted by EcostoreUSA recently to try out a couple of products. The products I chose were the Manuka Sandalwood Shampoo and the Manuka Sandalwood Conditioner because sometimes I have dry, itchy scalp. So, I wanted to see if another product worked well other than my original anti-dandruff shampoo (Head and Shoulders). As soon as I received the products, I was eager to try it out. With almost everything that I buy, I have to sniff it; especially if it's for the hair (yes, I'm … [Read more...]
The Disappointment Continues.
July 21, 2009 by 7 Comments
It's just not fair to go through so many disappointments in one week. It's not but I guess that's inevitable. So, I finally saw Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince last night. It was OK. I liked it but...ok, I have to be honest here....I really didn't like it. I still feel the need to watch a Harry Potter movie. This one left me wanting more and I didn't get that, unfortunately. It's sad because my family and I are HUGE fans and the only one that really enjoyed it was my 12 year old … [Read more...]

June 29, 2009 by 1 Comment
Have you ever bought something because of a life changing decision (like losing weight) or just to try it out because you had a coupon or maybe even just because? Well, that happened to me. After going to the EA Sports Active event in NYC, I decided to make some changes to my diet and also add a workout regimen to tone up for the Summer. So I went and bought Hellmann's "light" Mayonnaise, among other things like fruits and veggies. As soon as I opened up the jar, I could tell by the … [Read more...]
My favorite mom saying won!
May 29, 2009 by 5 Comments
I couldn't believe when I received the email fromLeTop. It said, "Congratulations on your recent win on your favorite mom sayings" I was so excited! It was a secret Twitter - only contest and I decided to enter just for the fun of it. I sent them what I usually say to my family. I had no idea I would win although I was hoping to. I was so glad I entered. It all started several years ago when my son couldn't find something in the refrigerator. I forgot what it was but I know it was … [Read more...]
