title pic Verilux Rise and Shine Lamp Review – hmmm $200 for a lamp

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 January 31, 2009

Seems all of Naper Blvd/Weber Rd in Bolingbrook is going to be empty pretty soon.  First it was Circuit City who left and I didn’t even notice – months ago, next Bennigan’s – a news worthy closing it seemed, Applebee’s soon followed suit – hated that place,  then it was Linens N Things – not [...]

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 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 – [...]

Posted by murderous.intention on January 28, 2009

While out and about today my DS had one of his little gassy spells, I nursed him for a bit and then there was the notorious rumbling and explosion noise that signals he has had a “movement”.  Well it moved right out of his diaper and all over the place – DH was in [...]

Posted by murderous.intention on January 19, 2009

It is delicious.  Stopped there today and ran in while DH and DSs stayed in the car, much faster that way and I can peruse the food.  I ran across this new Edamame Hummus – after having Beet Hummus from Whole Foods – it was ok – this is absolutely scrumptious – kind of has [...]

I love China for so many reasons, and here is another -a knock off mall with misspelled counterfeit stores and brands. Check out the full article by clicking the photo.

Posted by murderous.intention on December 26, 2008

If you need shirts, skirts, jackets or baby clothes – you NEED to get over to Steve & Barry’s at the Fox Valley Mall.  They are out of business on Sunday and every T Shirt is $0.79, skirts $0.50, Jerseys $1.89 and more.  I got sterling earrings for $0.20 and for $60 I bought about [...]

Posted by murderous.intention on December 24, 2008

Gessi of Italy-   I want this so much – if only you would install this in my home shower I know I would be a much more relaxed and happy person.  This has to be the best shower head ever.  Granted I would need a whole new bathroom to accommodate this beauty – but [...]
