e=”keurig b40 single cup home coffee brewer” width=”126″ /></a>I’m a coffee lover. More than that, I’m also a green tea lover, a chai tea lover and a hot cocoa lover. You can imagine what the insides of my cupboards look like with various open boxes and canisters of hot beverages to choose from, coffee grounds spilled everywhere. After breaking my third (in two years!) traditional coffee maker, I decided to do some research on the single serve style coffee makers that are fairly new to the at … Read More »

Have you ever heard the phrase, it’s what’s on the inside that counts? This statement is especially true when it comes to how women feel about their underwear.

One of my new favorite retailers for purchasing cosmetics and skin care items is E.L.F. (Eyes, Lips, Face) Cosmetics.  I was introduced to E.L.F. through various fashion magazines highlighting the retailer in its editorial spreads for selling most of their high quality cosmetic products for only $1.00 each.  I assumed this had to be a typo, as I’m accustomed to normally buying my cosmetics in the $10 – $25 dollar range. After checking out the site and reading their reviews, much to my surprise, I discovered that it was in fact a legit company… a legit company that just … Read More »

It got me to thinking though; how nice would it be if I had a garden I could pluck my dinner vegetables and herbs from instead of having to go to the grocery store for every last produce purchase? After doing some research on the topic of gardening, … Read More »
