I recently finished reading The Time Traveler's Wife and it was definitely a stay up all night read. I love how descriptive the author was about Henry's time traveling and I almost cried at the end of the book. I'm not too big on romance novels but I would even recommend this book to a guy! -

Panera has got to be my all time favorite cafe! I have never had anything from there that doesn't taste amazing. I love that they make everything fresh, including their bread. They have the best iced Green Tea ever!! Not to mention their Bacon Turkey Bravo sandwich, just thinking about it makes me hungry. Their service is great and their price is reasonable, I could go there every day and not get tired of it! -

I would have to agree with all the other comments, it was really impressing how fast this worked. The only downside for me is that I have sensitive teeth, so after using it for a while it made them hurt a little bit. After a while I just started using it every other day along with some Sensodyne. -

I'm Brazilian so pretty much all the flip flops I've owned in my entire life were Havaianas. Luckily the prices in Brazil are quite a bit lower than here in the States and I can still ask for family members to send or bring me more when they visit. I've tried other flip flops before but none will ever compare to the durability and style of these. They are so comfortable and you can pretty much get it in any color, style, size, shape, etc. I love how now they have their new "piercings" so you can add your own touch and make your Havaianas even more unique. However, I do think it's outrageous that Nordstrom sells these for over $40! The last one I bought ended up being about US$10, converted from Brazilian Reais. I would suggest either getting them from Amazon or looking for a Brazilian store near your, you can always bargain with them =P -

Every winter my skins gets horribly dry, and every year I had to deal with it by using tons of lotion multiple times a day. I'm not sure why I had never tried the Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash, I guess the price combined with the bottle size kind of scared me a way. I was totally wrong to think that this was too expensive. All you need is a quarter size squirt on your hand or on a scrubber and it will cover your whole body! I love that it doesn't have a strong smell and you feel the relief right away. It's amazing and it will last you all winter long and some more! I was totally hooked on Aveeno products after that. -

I've been using this product for a long time, and the main reason I bought it was because it was so cheap. I love that I can use it while my hair is wet or dry and it will still get rid of the frizz. I usually put it on before I blow dry/straighten it also and it works great! -

I was in love with cereal for a while. It supposedly didn't have that many calories and it tastes amazing! But after doing some research, and well, actually reading the ingredients and nutritional values on the box I realized how deceiving the Special K line of products are.
A normal person would probably not eat just 3/4 of a cup of cereal, so I decided to fill up my bowl like I usually would, and measure how much I was actually eating. Surprisingly enough, it was definitely closer to almost 2 cups than 3/4. This would make my calorie intake to almost 400, total carbs to about 60g, and sugar to almost, if not more than 30g.This is just the cereal alone, not including how much you get from milk, whether it's 2%, skim or soy. Either way, you're basically getting a lot more than what you're paying for, and not in a good way. At the end of the meal, this would easily turn out to be almost a 600 calorie breakfast. Not how I wanna start my day!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but how many people actually measure their cereal intake in the mornings? If you're looking for a balanced breakfast, I would go for other things like oatmeal with fresh fruits or even eggs instead of these Special K products.

Suave Professionals: Humectant Conditioner

I've always liked Suave hair products. They're very inexpensive and they've worked better for me than some $10 conditioners. However, I can't use their conditioners for very long. I'll go through a bottle every once in a while when I'm tight on money but if I use it for more than a couple months it tends to make my hair slightly oily. I have somewhat thick, bipolar hair, it can get really dry one day and be completely oily the next if I don't watch what I put on it. I found out that while I was using this conditioner, I couldn't use my normal hair cream to blow dry/straighten my hair, which is what would keep it from getting split ends, etc. So for a while I had really dry ends but the rest of my hair would accumulate a lot of oil within just a day. But again, I do think it might just be because I am prone to oily hair. Besides that, the rest of their products works pretty well for such a low price. -

I'm also going to agree with all the other reviews here. I was under the impression that I was just prone to oily hair, that's why I stopped using Pantene products. But I guess it's the product it self! I don't know what ingredients they use that leaves so much gunk on your hair, but it's happened with every Pantene hair product I've used. The price isn't too bad, but I'd buy the cheap off brands before I'd buy this again. -

Unless you lose them, the Good Ouchless Hair Elastics will literally last forever. I have a lot of hair and it keeps it up with no problem. I always hated the metal on other hair ties because getting my hair pulled has got to be one of the most annoying things ever! I love it! -
