I never buy any brand but Q-tips, because frankly, the one time when I did buy an off-brand, the top of the cotton swab fell off, lodged in my ear, and I had to go to the emergency room to get my ear flushed out. The quality of Q-tips tends to be... +
I never buy any brand but Q-tips, because frankly, the one time when I did buy an off-brand, the top of the cotton swab fell off, lodged in my ear, and I had to go to the emergency room to get my ear flushed out. The quality of Q-tips tends to be fairly consistent and reliable. -
Okay. This was my first ever eye-shadow, and let me just say, it was a Godsend for a girl who was raised by men who were, well, very heterosexual. My brothers and Dad didn't have a clue what to tell me to get for eyeshadow, and this little palette... +
Okay. This was my first ever eye-shadow, and let me just say, it was a Godsend for a girl who was raised by men who were, well, very heterosexual. My brothers and Dad didn't have a clue what to tell me to get for eyeshadow, and this little palette had it all put together for me. Nice and self explanatory--dark on the crease, shade to light at the lid. -
Hershey chocolate is definitely smoother and creamier than Nestle... but it doesn't contain as much fat, as say, Dove or Quality Street, which usually gives me a sore stomach. What I like about this mix is the inclusion of the peanut Goodbars... +

What I like about this mix is the inclusion of the peanut Goodbars, which are impossible to find in Canada outside this mix, and the Krispies. -

Macbeth, of course, is already a classic. The reasons for it having classic appeal maybe aren't as self-evident. Its portrayal of feminine power is fascinating as it is arguably misogynistic. The witches, perhaps analogous to the three fates, set everything in motion, Lady Macbeth compels her husband to become a murderer. The hero, Macduff, is able to become a hero because he is not 'of woman born'. If Shakespeare views female power as malevolent though, he also views it as seductive. Its this dark energy that gives the book momentum and makes it linger long in memory. -
