A big thanks to Chick Advisor for letting me try this!
So, this ice cream must be incredibly popular in my area because it took forever to find it in stock in any stores. But, it was definitely worth searching for. The chocolate flavor is great and isn't an overly sweet milk chocolate like many chocolate ice creams tend to be. The texture is different from many ice creams too, as it seems to be light and maybe even fluffy (if that is possible) I usually am not a fan of chocolate ice cream, but this stuff is pretty good (almost as good as real chocolate!) I would recommend trying it, but I'm not too sure if I would buy this flavour again at regular price ($6.99).

I wasn't really into these. The fact that they just 'dissolved' is an interesting concept.... but maybe should have stayed a concept.
I tried them before bed and found that while they did in fact dissolve they left the most disgusting goop behind, especially on the back of my teeth. It was terrible and I ended up having to get up and brush my teeth again. I'm not even sure if they worked...
In short, I would not buy these again, nor would I recommend them.

It works pretty good and I like that you get the toothpaste and four of the whitening strips. The toothpaste is great and works well. The only part I wasn't so thrilled with were the strips.. they seem to whiten, except that they are very hard to keep on your teeth and slip all over leaving a gross, goopy mess in your mouth.
I probably wouldn't get them again, but they are worth a try (especially if you see them on sale, or have a coupon!)

They did however, manage to whiten my teeth a bit, so I guess they did work....

I got a few of these as samples and am super impressed. I have tried the other Crest whitestrips and hated them mainly due to the fact that they were so slimy and sipped all over the place in your mouth. These hold true to their name and really do have an 'advanced seal". They stick really well to your teeth and don't slip all over and you don't get left with that disgusting taste in your mouth. They feel a bit odd on your teeth because they are thicker than other kinds, but much easier to use and seem to get your teeth whiter. My teeth were not very discoloured, but I did notice them to be a bit whiter/brighter. -

I bought this when I couldn't find the brand I had been using at the time (can't even remember what it was now...) Although it was not what I wanted I figured it would have to do. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it actually worked. I have used other make up removers that claim to be oil free but still leave a heavy oil slick, but with this remover you don't get that. The other plus is that you don't need a whole ton to get it to work and the bottle ends up lasting quite a while. -

First, a thank you to Chick Advisor for letting me try this out!
I was really excited to be picked and even more excited when I read on the package that this mascara was made by Maybelline's Define-A-Lash, as that is one of my favourite mascaras.
When I applied it, it made my lashes look pretty good. They were visibly longer and darker (which is good considering they are black to begin with) and a bit thicker (not a whole lot, but that isn't an issue for me). I had no problem with clumping or getting my lashes all stuck together and the overall look was nice. You could see that my lashes looked better, but it wasn't super obvious that I had make up on. Downside was that by the end of the day there was some flaking around my eye, but overall my mascara still looked okay.
To be honest though the vibrations of the brush were... different. I had never used a pulsating mascara and found it hard to get used to the first couple of uses. Now, I don't really mind it, but at first I was hard to get over having my eye vibrating. Other than that is was really simple to apply. I had no problems working the brush, except when I switched hands. I am right handed but when I put mascara on my left eye I use my left hand. I had trouble keeping my finger on the "on" button when using my left hand. Maybe if it had a permanent "on" feature?
I would get my friends to try it if they had a coupon or it was on sale, because it wasn't bad, but I don't think I would buy it (unless the sale price was really good) as I am happier with the non pulsating Maybelline Define-a-Lash (http://www.chickadvisor.com/item/maybelline-define-a-lash-volume-mascara.html)

Baby Mama, 2008

I rated this you betcha! but it is more of a mmm...maybe?
There were some lol moments, but most of them were used in the ads/ media for the movie so you knew exactly what to expect, and of the plot... it was pretty predictable. Still, it is worth watching if you have movies channels or can get the dvd from a friend. As much as I like Tina Fey and Amy Pholer, I'm glad I didn't go see it in theaters.

This is one of the best Pixar/ Disney movies to come out in a long while. The characters are not only adorable, but they portray a valuable message to children (and adults too!).
Kids will love the characters and learn a little something too, with a bit of help from mom or dad, of course. Definitely a must see.

My mom and I watched this the other night. It was okay... worth watching for the unique story and famous faces, but it seems like it was pretty predictable and like a lot of it had already been given away in all the media surrounding it.
That said there were some little funny bits, that gave the movie a bit more "oomph". Definitely see it, but don't expect it to be amazing.
