I have to admit, I had no interest in buying one of these. I have not played video games since I was a kid, in the days of the original Nintendo/Super Nintendo. But my niece brought her DS Lite with her on a visit a few weeks ago, and I wound up playing a few of her games and I fell in love with it. So I went out and bought one for myself. I got the same red/black one my niece has by pure coincidence (I couldn't remember but was sure she had the blue/black one.) and it's really pretty. I love how portable it is; it's perfect for long road trips. There are SO many games too, especially since it's compatible with the Gameboy Advance games. It was a bit of a pricy investment for me, but very worth it.
The Pictochat program that is built in is a very cool feature, and I really love it. My niece and I have had loads of fun sending messages to each other while in different rooms of the house. I also like that certain games can be multi-player through the DS's wireless connection system, even if only one player actually has the game card.
This is a very cool little toy, Nintendo should be proud of how far they've come since the original gaming system!

I completely love this color kit! The eye shadow shades are really pretty, the lighter shade is a taupey coral and the darker shade is a sheer plummy shade. They both have slight shimmer and go on sheer, blend well and last very well with minimal creasing when applied over my cream shadow base. The blush is a very pretty slightly shimmery peachy coral. Flip it over and there are two lip colors and two lip glosses. The first lip color is a sheer rosy nude with no shimmer, the second is a bright (but sheer) shimmery pink. Both glosses are sheer and shimmery, the first being a burgundy-rose shade and the second is a coral-nude. All the colors in this kit are so pretty and very well coordinated to mix and match as you please. The case seems pretty durable, and it has a mirror for on the go touch-ups. I am so happy with this purchase, and I plan to try the London spring color kit as well. The South Beach color kit looks lovely too but too bronzy for me and doesn't look like it contains colors that would work well with my coloring. -
Nestlé Noir Eclat Noir
The contrast of textures between the chocolate and the cocoa bean pieces is nice. The burst of extra bitterness from the cocoa beans was a bit too much for my personal tastes. I thought this one was more intense than the Intense chocolate bar was.

This is another great combination of bitter and sweet. The cherries are slightly tart and chewy, and blend well with the chocolate. If you like cherry cordials there is a good chance you will like this chocolate bar, as it tastes very much like a cherry cordial, minus the mess of the gooey liquid in them. -

Nestlé Noir Intense

I am a big fan of dark chocolate, and this is definitely the best I've ever tried! It doesn't have the same bite that other dark chocolates have. It's a bit sweeter and very rich and creamy. Certainly not as "intense" as others I've tried, which is a good thing because while I love dark chocolate some of the more intense ones are just too much. But this one is somehow perfect with the great bitterness you want from dark chocolate without being overwhelming. -

I have never been a fan of long-wearing lipsticks but this one is definitely a keeper! I picked up the shade Geranium and it's a very pretty rosy subtle nude on me. It's smooth and creamy going on, and the balm on top imparts a pretty light shine. Both the color and balm are nice and light, you can't really feel it on like a lot of other lipsticks and balms.
The color lasts very well, and unlike so many other long-wearing lipsticks this one doesn't flake or ball up as the day goes on. After the balm wears off it does feel a little dry but nothing unbearable, and the color still stays put and looks nice once the balm has worn off.
I love the case, too. I don't need to carry a separate mirror with me, and I don't have to worry about losing the color or the balm when both are kept in the same place. It's small enough to be tucked into the pocket of my jeans when I don't feel like bringing a purse with me, too. Overall I love this product and can't wait to try a couple more colors!

Best non-prescription antiperspirant without a doubt! I have quite literally tried every option available to me including a prescription product I could not use because it was too strong and caused a lot of irritation. I have been using this every day for a couple months and I love it. It is the only thing that actually keeps me dry all day. I love that unlike other products I have used this can be used during the day as well as at night and can be used immediately after showering/shaving. Other antiperspirants can be used only at night and cause irritation if used right after a shower or shaving. This stuff is my life-saver and I simply do not know what I would do without it! -

This is one of those products that has so many uses that once you discover it you start to wonder how you ever got along without it. Days I haven't worn makeup at all I moisten a cotton ball with some witch hazel and use it to clean my face before bed. If I've worn makeup I wash it off with my usual cleanser then follow up with the witch hazel as a toner/astringent. It's really helped to keep my face clear and never dries out my skin at all. It also helps relieve itchiness from bug bites and helps all sorts of little scrapes and scratches feel better as well as getting them cleaned up and seems to help them heal a bit faster - without stinging. The smell might be a little unpleasant for some people but it dissipates very quickly. It's also done wonders for clearing up the Keratosis Pilaris on my arms. Love it! -

Yes, this is the stuff you find in the pet care isle or pet care stores, meant primarily for horses. Both my sister and I have been using it for years. One bottle will last you a long time before you have to repurchase. This conditioner is really thick and rich and very moisturizing. It leaves my hair very soft, shiny and manageable. -
