Scandle Shimmering Body Candle Review

I absolutely love candles--mostly because they can change the ambiance of a room simply by stimulating the olfactory--but also because candles make me feel relaxed and cozy. So you can imagine my excitement when I heard about Scandle's new Shimmering Body Candle. I had never heard of a "body candle" before and so I was intrigued. Just what does a body candle do? Well, simply put, it turns a candle into a Scandle! Scandle candles are designed to be used on the body! They can be used as a massage candle, a cuticle treatment, lotion or simply as aromatherapy. The Shimmering Body Candle burns at two degrees warmer than our body temperature,...

KT Tunstall "Tiger Suit" CD Review

KT Tunstall, the Scottish singer-songwriter known for her raspy voice and bluesy rhythm, has a new album that hit the shelves in America on Oct. 5, 2010. The new album titled "Tiger Suit" features the Top 20 radio hit "Fade Like a Shadow" as well as a combination of other songs that introduce Tunstall's nature techno combinations of electronic textures and acoustic revelations. The music choices are quite a shift from her previous hits of "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree", "Suddenly I See" and "Hold On" ....and because of this, a die hard fan might need to adjust to this newfound style and experience Tunstall in a completely different light--one...

The Black Cat Crossed My Path

It was Friday when the black cat darted across the gravel road in front of the truck. My son immediately squealed..."Now you're gonna have bad luck". We laughed and thought nothing of it. On Saturday, my main computer had a malfunction. It is a Toshiba Satellite Laptop that has had a faulty DC Power Jack almost from the moment I purchased it. I was offered to have it fixed while it was under warranty, however it was in the middle of a semester, and I couldn't function without it. I thought it would be an easy fix, and we (meaning my husband) figured out a way to jimmy the jack in place. It held and worked although the connection never was very ...

The Comfort Company Review and Giveaway (CLOSED)

Today would have been my mother's birthday! She would have been 65 years old and there is not a day that goes by that I don't wish she was still here with us. Her battle with cancer ended in 2003, right after Christmas, and it has always been my greatest regret that I was not able to be at her side when she passed away. My children were only one and four when she passed away, and my son had only met her a few times. She lived in Iowa--a ten hour drive from our home in Arkansas--and we were only able to get there a few times a year. Throughout the years we have done numerous things to keep her memory alive. One year we gathered all her grandchildren...

QuackGammon from Endless Games -Fun for the Whole Family!

Okay, so I will admit, I have never played Backgammon. Not because it didn't look fun, but for the same reason I never learned to play Chess. I have no patience for rules and tend to change them to make them fit my version of the game. This does not work well when playing against someone who actually took time to read the rules...trust me on this...I've tried. But, I have found a version of the popular Backgammon game that I can actually play without frustration. It might help that it is designed for ages 5 and up. (I am on the up). Not only can I play it, but my two kids can play it too and they actually love it! Who couldn't love it...it's...

Flowerz In Her Hair Review and Giveaway (CLOSED)

My daughter likes to claim the title "Tom Boy", yet she shows time and time again that she has a bit of "girly" in her. For example--and I will so be in trouble for sharing this--but the other day she had her hair in her face all day. I kept telling her time and time again to get her hair out of her eyes, to the point she just refused to move her hair back and started crying.  I found this highly unusual, so I went to her room to discuss it with her later. I asked her why she was hiding her beautiful face behind all that hair and she says to me..."promise you won't get mad". UH OH. I promised. She then pulled her hair back and OH MY...
