  The boys and I had the opportunity to see a pre-screening of Despicable Me several weeks ago. It was highly enjoyable and a great family friendly entertainment choice for all ages. Below is my review. Be forewarned, it may contain spoilers! ******************** The main character, Gru, lives for his job. He is a "villain" intent on [...]

Have you seen my youngest and most active son, Andrew,  pictured below? If I had to rate his activity level it would definitely be "HIGH". He's a sports fanatic, on and off the field!  On any given day, you can find Andrew roughing it up with his friends playing football, softball, soccer and basketball. Not surprisingly, his [...]

I've always viewed my face as a canvas. In order to create a masterpiece (ME!), I know that my canvas, my face, has to be clean. Covergirl's Simply Ageless Primer allows me to create that clean look. It uses Olay Skincare ingredients to help restore your skin's youthful appearance. The Clean foundation, appropriately named I may add, gives [...]

As a young woman, I used CoverGirl all the time.  Their products helped me look chic but never cheap. I couldn't have asked for more! Although I haven't used their products in some time, I was excited to be given the opportunity to try out several samples from their  new Eye, Face, Lips product lines. I was not surprised to [...]

This past weekend the boys and I had the opportunity to see a screening of Furry Vengeance. The film, rated PG, starring Brendan Fraser as Dan Sanders (Dad), Brooke Shields as Tammy Sanders (Mom) and Matt Prokop as Tyler Sanders (son), is set to open nationwide on April 30, 2010. After watching the movie, I [...]

Recently I had the opportunity to try Bruno's Salon and Spa. I know, I know you must be thinking all spas are alike right? WRONG! I've frequented some big name spas, which will remain nameless, and realized bigger doesn't always mean better. When using the services in these unnamed spas, I've called ahead to make [...]

As much as I hate to admit it, my skin is no longer the same radiant Latinalicious complexion I had was younger. The enlarged pores, uneven skin tone and sighhhhhhhh fine lines have started to emerge. I now see the laugh lines around my eyes and mouth much more prominently than I did a few [...]

About a month ago, I was given the opportunity to review eShakti, an online clothing store that carries chic clothing in sizes 0-26. Even better, they allow you to customize their designs by altering the length of the sleeves, hem, and neckline to a style that most flatters your figure. You can also customize your size [...]

Have you heard of Poppycock?  Not the word, which means "nonsense", Orville Redenbacher's gourmet popcorn snack? It contains clusters of almonds, pecans and gourmet popcorn, covered in a sweeten glaze. I, myself, had never heard of it until I received a can to review. Deciding to give it the ultimate taste test, I took it with me to my [...]
