Posted by murderous.intention on March 24, 2009

I received the new Yanni Voices CD/DVD in the mail to review today.  I have listened to it several times so far, and although it is not my usual genre of personal listening music I can see myself popping this CD in daily.  This is a great one for families.  With my two young boys [...]

Posted by murderous.intention on February 23, 2009

I want to tell you about the Entrecard Market, not because I am altruistic, because I could win 100,000 credits and also because I have a listing there. I just adore this new market because I am, as you may already know by reading this blog, a shopaholic.  Now I can get things without spending [...]

Posted by murderous.intention on February 5, 2009

Not really worth the $39.99 I spent at Target.  Oh, I was so excited to pick this up I didn’t even cringe when the sales associate gave me and DH that “Aren’t you a little old for this game and the Wii Pom Pom Controllers?” look. Which might I add, the guy at GameStop [...]

Posted by murderous.intention on February 1, 2009

DH gets it right every so often with the holiday and birthday gifts.  Last year he bought me the Verilux Rise and Shine Lamp from Gaiam.com.
I loved the idea of a lamp that gradually lights from soft to bright and plays soothing sounds – like oceans, birds, forest, town, etc.  It even has a [...]

Posted by murderous.intention on

A friend of mine constantly swears by the chair massages marketed as “Chinese Massage” at the Fox Valley Mall in Aurora.  Yesterday I was convinced to go and check it out, plus my friend was paying so how could this be a bad thing? I brought DH with me (a large man at 6′6), [...]

Posted by murderous.intention on January 30, 2009

For years now I have stuck to mineral make-ups because they are natural, have better hues and colors, and are usually cruelty free.  I recently discovered the wonders of Etsy (more to come later about a wonderful item I had made for a friend) and all the make-up it has to offer.  I usually [...]

Posted by murderous.intention on

Like everyone else and their mother who has jumped on the Wii bandwagon, so has our family.  We picked up Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2009, and I guess I live under a rock because I did not know she was the personal trainer for the reality show Biggest Loser – then again I don’t watch [...]

Posted by murderous.intention on January 29, 2009

 
Same Health Club Spa sale, spotted to clear cylinder with little tubs inside, took a closer look and read they were Lip Gloss – now my Lips Gloss is far from ever Poppin’ so I thought why not pick them up – Jane Iredale is another animal friendly line made with vegetable oil bases, and [...]

title pic Vegan Beauty Line Verikira Review – not so good

Posted by murderous.intention on

I was at the gym when I saw that spa was offering discounted products.  I love supporting anti-cruelty items, Verikira products are certified vegan, use natural ingredients, and were 40% off – a perfect fit.  Behold a wonderful little tube package with brightly wrapped orange things – I inquired as to what they were – [...]
