I liked the look of this organizer.  It looked to be geared toward the young, but still somewhat traditional bride, which is pretty much me in a nutshell.I like the binder format of this book.  I immediately opened it up and re-arranged it to my liking.  The clear pink folders that fit into each section are nice too, because you can organize reciepts and documents by catergory. T...

I bought my Caliber in July.  I was in need of a vehicle that got good gas mileage, yet also had a lot of cargo space.  Since I'm a traveling sales rep, I drive very often, long distances, and need to carry a lot of equipment.This car has not let me down.  I've already put 15,000 miles on it and it still runs as great as it did the day I bought it.  It's ver...

I bought a 8oz Cinnamon Cider candle from a department store on a whim, mostly because I thought the packaging was so pretty.  I love the elegant look of the Aromatique candles, and the light brown color of the Cinnamon Cider one matches my living room decor perfectly.  When I actually burned the candle, I realized this company excells at a lot more than packaging.The candle ...

I have been searching for the perfect foundation since I was fourteen years old.  During my early teen years, I just went to the drug store and bought whatever I could afford that looked cool.  Needless to say, I went through high school with my face five shades deeper than my neck.As I got a little older, I started researching magazines and beauty sites, and learning about things lik...

I was delighted to get my iPod Nano for Christmas two years ago.  It was brand new on the scene then, and I felt oh-so-cool with it.  It was my first MP3 player, so I had a lot to learn.  I caught on quickly and learned how to put all my CDs on it.  I didn't even think I needed to have the CDs anymore, so once they were on the iPod I sold or gave them all away.  I a...

I admit it, I have perfume ADD.  I seriously have a new one every month.  I don't think I've ever finished a whole bottle of any perfume.  I tastes change very quickly, although I've always loved sweet scents.I had the original Vera Wang perfume right when it came out.  I loved it, and wore it all the time. It made me feel very glamourous.  Then I had some t...

My first experience with this perfume was when I got my Victoria's Secret holiday catalog in the mail.  When I first turned to the page with the big advertisement for their new fragrance on it, I rolled my eyes a bit.  Supermodel perfume?  Sounded quite over the top to me.  And the packaging looked so cheesy with the big square bottle with SUPERMODEL sprawled across the ...

I live and am getting married in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and pretty much all of my family lives two hours away in Milwaukee.  I'm also getting married on a weekend in the Fall, which, in Green Bay, means the possiblity of a Packer game, which means no hotel rooms within an hour of the city in any direction.  And we won't know if they are playing until next year's schedule co...

I always saw these in the Express store, but was reluctant to buy them because they cost so much.  Now that I have a "real" job, I make a little more money, but also need to dress a little nicer, so I decided to buy a few pairs.  I must say that I am in love, and they are now the only work pants I buy.  I have them for ever season, cropped, tweed, slim fit, wide leg, an...

I've been doing a lot of browsing on wedding websites trying to get ideas for my wedding next fall.  When I happened to come across this garter set, I just had to buy it, and I did right away.  What stuck me at first was the look of it...icy blue with a rhinestone heard pinned in the center over blue and white ribbon.  I also really liked the idea of a "set".  ...

This organizer is a giant box with a book, organizer, and write-your-own file tabs inside.  The book is wonderful.  I don't know where I would be without it.  It's compact, sturdy and beautifully illustrated.  It's divided by tabs into chapters starting with Tweleve Months Ahead and ending with One Month Ahead.  This approach is what makes me love this book!...

I've bought Flannel PJ's from Victoria's Secret several years ago when they first came out with the PJ gift sets.  I loved that they were all ribboned up and pretty.  The pair I had really did last forever...I'm still wearing it...but I thought it was time for an upgrade, and I really just couldn't resist the cute designs on this year's selections.They are expe...

I bought this because I have tons of magazines lying around and piled up in my closet because I like to use the recipes in them.  I thought it would be great to be able to finally rid myself of the clutter and have them all on the computer.The program was great!  It was so easy to figure out.  You can organize all of your recipes by cookbook or magazine, and then by chapter or ty...

It's a Candle.  It's a Massage Oil.  It's a Moisturizer.  It's Earthly Body 3 iin 1 Suntouched Candle!  I saw it at a small boutique I sell to and I thought it would be a cute gift for a bachelorette party I was going to.  But when I picked it up the owner of the boutique just kept raving about how great it smelled, how it was natural, clean-burning hemp...

I've had my Shu Uemura eyelash curler forever.  Since I was about sixteen I believe.  It's been with me through getting my driver's license, boyfriends, high school graduation, it will be with me through college graduation, and very likely through my wedding.  It's been my reliable little life companion.Everyone always says this is the best eyelash curler, and I t...

I'm not a big workout person.  I was only inspired to start trying to get in shape when I got engaged and realized I would really like to look a little better for my wedding.I ordered the Buff Brides workout DVD along with three others, and I've been trying to do one a day, alternating the three.  Buff brides was the first one I did.  It's a 45 minute workout consisti...

I bought this along with two other DVDs to start getting in shape for my wedding.  Previously, I had pretty much never worked out.The front of this DVD makes it look a little hardcore, so I was nervous to try it at first, but after doing it for a while, I can say it is my favorite of the three wedding workout DVDs I bought.There are several options.  You can follow a plan based on wha...

This was one of three wedding workout DVDs I bought to get in shape for my wedding.  Let me tell you, they are not playing around when they call it Bootcamp.  It is by far the most difficult of the three DVDs I bought.The first time I did this workout, I could only make it about halfway through.  I'm young and in a healthy weight range, but as a beginner, and it was...

I am a certified LUSH fanatic.  I could probably single handedly keep this store in business even if no one else in the world ever shopped there.Honey I Washed the Kids soap is my favorite product.  I go through about a bar a month and have bars stockpiled in my bathroom cupboards.  So, when I found out they were coming out with a new perfume in the same scent, I was thrilled.The...

I might be realitively young, but I'm like an old lady when it comes to electronics.  Most of them scare me.  If I hadn't recieved my Nikon Coolpix 4600 as a Christmas gift, I'd probably still be using regular film-based disposable cameras.My mom (who gave me the gift) knows about my technoligical phobia, and selected this camera because she was told it was very user-...
