The Fender FM 65 Frontman Combo Amplifier is a solid state amplifier with one 12 inch speaker and 65 watts.  It is black in color and has built in effects for the guitar.I purcahsed this amp because my normal amp is much too heavy to haul around.  I figured I'd get a solid state amp that I can easily haul with me whenever I want and to have a backup amp around.The amp certainly is...

I am a big fan of Wall Flowers found at Bath and Bodyworks.  These are simple units that you plug into any outlet.  The unit itself is sold seperately and you purchase the bulbs on their own.  They typically come in a pack of two.My favorite scent in eucalyptus.  It is a good, natural smelling scent and perfect for the home.  I love the fresh smelling scent it emitts.&n...

I searched high and low for some ear buds that would both sound good and be comfortable.  To add to my search criterea, they also had to stay in my ears, for they would primarily be used for running.  I was recommended the JVC - Marshmallow Ear Bud Headphones.  These are typical in their design and come with a replacement paid or foam ear buds.  So far I have been satisfied ...

Unfortunately, I have an addiction to Chapstick.  Although when first using this product, it soothes your lips and can be used sparingly.  Once you have used the product for some time, your lips develop an addicition to the product.  Over time this product actually dries out the skin on your lips, creating a burning sensation when not applied for a short period of time.I always h...

I recently purchased a new 2008 Hyundai Sonata GLS.  I was looking for a midsize sedan and the Sonata was less money than the comprable Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.  I like the styling of the Sonata as well as the interior.  As far as performance, I would say it is nothing special.  I have driven all of its competitors and the Hyundai is a little less "stable."&n...

Contradicition is my favorite cologne of all time!  I have purchased multiple bottles in the spray bottle.  The scent is one of a tobacco base with hints or leather and a subtle citrus smell as well.  I find it very unique and the way it reacts with my body is very good.  The scent is moderate in potency and lasts a pretty long time.  What disappoints me most about this...
