When it comes to fashion (and most other things), I couldn't care less about brand names.  I hardly know any designer names and do most of my clothes shopping at A&E, Hollister or Ross. I've been browsing the daily designer sales at ideeli and noticed that I was loving nearly everything from their Ark & Co ... See Full Entry »

The Woot today is a refurbished Barnes & Noble Nook 3G + Wi-Fi eReader.  It's normally $199 new. I've been thinking about getting an eBook reader for a while; the Nook and Kindle are the biggest players out there.  With the recent announcement of the ad-supported Kindle, or what they're calling the Kindle with Special Offers, ...

After my wonderful first experience with flowering teas yesterday, I couldn't help but brew another one tonight.  I chose one of the Earl Grey black tea "buds."

The drop-down showed the standard personalization (engraving) charge of $4.95 but the email stated that ... See Full Entry »

I skimmed most of it because after the first few items, I couldn't stop rolling my eyes enough to actually read it thoroughly.  Here are the ... See Full Entry »

I spend a lot of time at Deals.Woot.  It's an online community of user-submitted online deals, secret sales and coupon codes.  Additionally, they have 5 daily sponsored deals at the top.  A couple weeks ago, one of those sponsored deals was for a "Sterling Silver Tennis Bracelet With Sparkling Diamond Accents" from Shadora.com.  At only ...

I usually don't pay much attention to fashion. My own style, if you can call it that, consists of jeans, fitted t-shirts and flats. I don't often wear makeup, hair products or jewelry and couldn't care less about what's "in" or "out." However, just like how I have phases where I exercise regularly and eat well, ...
